I love my 351PD, it is one of my favorite handguns. It has enough pop to know you are firing a real gun, but much easier, and cheaper, to shoot than a centerfire. the spring is stout, but mine has a pretty smooth, short, trigger that is easy to control. It is great training for the larger...

Glock G30sf

I have two S&W 1911's, and have had no trouble out of either one of them. Nicely finished, no sharp edges, 100% reliable so far. Some will decry the "Swartz safety," and MIM parts, but I have had no trouble with either. I haven't had to use it, but S&W has a good reputation for customer...

I have knocked my ambi-safety off on a Springfield EMP before; for this reason any 1911 I would carry will have only a right side safety, and a holster with a sweatguard covering the paddle.

I have short fingers, and here is a partial list of handguns that I can comfortably control: Ruger sp101 S&W J-frame revolver Browning Hi-Power 1911, (With thin grips and a short trigger) Walther PPS Springfield EMP Glock G19 Glock G30sf As mentioned above, I would recommend a small revolver as...

I would start with a proven self defense round and go from there. Two-legged predators are a much bigger threat than the four legged kind. Don't know about Mountain Lions, as we don't have them in my neck of the woods, but I doubt there is much difference between a 125 grain and a 158 grain...

The Bersa is often suggested as a best-buy .380.

What about a 3-inch Ruger sp101? Much lighter, trimmer on the belt, yet still capable of full-power .357 ammo, and pleasant with the .38.

I have the 9mm and love it. Haven't shot the PPS in .40 but generally don't care for the snappy recoil of the .40 in general. I prefer the short, 6-round, magazine that fits flush with the bottom of the grip; about the same profile as a j-frame Smith. Like Ian's Dad said, it is also one of my...

I hike and backpack a lot, and 9 times out of 10 have my S&W 351pd in .22mag, with a couple of speed strips of extra ammo. My reasoning is this: 1, light weight. 2, loud enough for signalling if I break a leg and can't walk out. 3, Better than a pointy stick.

I have a PPS, and can't imagine it would be a good fit in a G27 holster, as the slide is much thinner.

Some interesting information about .22 mag:http://www.brassfetcher.com/index_files/Page1504.htm I have a S&W 351pd which when loaded weighs way less than a pound. It is also a lot of fun to shoot. By the way, how does the .22 mag "Shed," Velocity? Physics is physics.

I've only had mine a few weeks, and only have a couple of hundred rounds through it, but so far so good. No reliability problems. I haven't heard of many either. There does seem to be a problem with dented brass on some, but not a problem unless you reload. I believe that is more with the...

What was your goal in putting in the lighter spring, a better trigger pull? You may be better off using the stock parts and having a local 'smith do a trigger job. Should be $75-$100, depending on the reputation.

I've heard, but have no personal experience, that if you were to ever need a new recoil spring Glock will send one free if you call them.

At least in my area Gander is the most expensive place going for guns and accessories.

+1 for Polekitty. The last time I was lucky enough to find ammo in Walmart I bought a couple of boxes of WWB Value Packs for 9 and .45, and the guy behind me bought all the rest of the store's 9mm. If everyone would buy just what they needed, there would be no ammo shortage.

I like Hogues, too, but I don't think they come in any color other than black.

If you do a search you will find the Ruger and the Browning seem to be the most often recommended .22 autoloaders. There are some nice revolvers out there, too, such as a Ruger Single Six.

Lots of good guns here. I know a lot of foiks pocket carry all the time, but for me I've never been able to really pull it off. Even tiny guns are fairly big, at least compared to a ring of keys box of tictacs, etc. For me holster carry works much better. If you can pull it off, great. I...
