    Decisions Decisions. new pistol. vote!

    P938. Amazingly little perceived recoil for such a small, light pistol. Long trigger pulls on small pistols with little to hold onto take lots of practice to master. SA P938 trigger is short and sweet. I would go for the SAS if carry is your goal. If pocket carrying, the slim wood grips are...

    Kimber Micro Raptor review.

    I don't care how many positive experiences I've had with firearms from any manufacturer, to none do I assign reliable status "out of the box" before I've verified reliability myself by shooting it, with much more than a magazine or two full of ammunition. That includes trying it with the same...

    best revolver for the little wife?

    My friend bought a Tomcat for his wife. However, the latch to tip the bbl up was extremely stiff, and she could not operate it. He called the Beretta and they told him it had to be that stiff to be safe. He traded it in on an LCR for her. Andy

    Two Police Shootings...Are Striker-Fired Pistols Cupable?

    I have never had an AD (thank God!) I am not a peace officer or security guard, so I don't have the training or experience they have. I have witnessed one AD where the person was not immediately aware that the discharged firearm was the one he was holding. I've often wondered about the...

    CCW/OC Practicality of 3" vs 1.87" LCR?

    The 3" bbl is only available in the LCRx with exposed hammer and single action capability. If the bbl doesn't limit pocket carry, the exposed hammer doesn't help there. The short and long grips are interchangeable. If taking small game, the 3", fired single action, is a better choice, especially...

    To use Tulammo 38 Special or not?

    The bullet jacket is copper or copper alloy, same as any other FMJ. The cartridge casing is steel. Andy

    The 1911 guide rod conundrum

    Then you need to order a flat wire recoil spring, gi- and full-length 1/4" diameter guide rods for it, and a plug for the new FLGR, just to cover the waterfront, so to speak... Andy

    My first steel plate match

    One of my favorite plate games is with plates hung on the points of a 5-point star that is free to rotate (the star faces you). When you start knocking the plates off the star, it becomes unbalanced, and rotates to re-balance itself. Think of it as a falling plate rack that starts moving! Andy

    What's Wrong with Magazine Disconnects?

    I didn't see this mentioned yet, but without a magazine disconnect, in the event of a tactical reload (switching to a full magazine before the present magazine/gun is empty), while reloading, you still have one round able to fire, with which to defend yourself. Andy

    Sig Sauer P938 for a woman?

    I was pleasantly surprised by the mild recoil of the P938 with the rubber grips. Started out preferring the extended magazine for a little more purchase on the handle, but actually prefer the flush fitting magazine now, because the rubber grip's palm swells round the bottom off nicely to the end...

    Trigger Control - another training aid?

    I've always figured that a flat trigger could help prevent up/down movement of the handgun while the trigger is pulled, but I don't understand how a flat trigger would affect left/right movement. Andy

    Soft recoil?

    The bullet is not the only thing of mass being sent out the barrel... Andy

    Ruger LCP Gen 1 vs Gen 2 ?

    1K, Thanks. Just wanted to make sure the pin that secures the upper rear of the grip hadn't moved due to the other changes. Andy

    Ruger LCP Gen 1 vs Gen 2 ?

    Does the Hogue grip sleeve fit the Gen 2 also? Andy

    Why hasn't Ruger offered more in the LCRx line?

    I agree (I've posted a couple of times about this). I got to looking at close-ups of the LCR and LCR-X. The plastic grip peg is attached to the frame slightly differently for the LCR-X and the LCR (@ top/rear), so maybe that's why they have not introduced the 327, 357 or 9mm in -X yet; maybe...
