As long as everything is in spec they are perfectly safe, period. That may be true. But how do most of you know YOUR pistol is in spec? Some of you even think your pistol is a DAO so that PROVES some of you know NOTHNG about how it works but you still assume you KNOW it is safe and in...

I like the Glock which is basically DAO. I like the 1911s cocked and locked and any single action such as the Springfield XD that HAS internal safetys that make them drop safe. I do not like the DA-SA pistols such as Berettas and Sigs. They are fine guns if you like them but I like each...

Question for George Hill and Tropical Z. Do you OWN a Steyr pistol or have a few years PERSONAL experience with them?

Sure some single actions are safe. Sure some PDs do allow SAs. Most DO NOT. The single actions that are safe have a built in automatic safey that stops the fall of the hammer or striker IF the sear fails to hold it. The 1911 and XD have such features. The Steyr has NO SUCH SAFETY...

What military and LEOs carry the Steyr? And just because Steyr told you they are safe makes it true? What did you expect them to say? The Steyr will NEVER get a lot of police contracts because of it's design. First they are a SINGLE ACTION. Most PD's will not have it because of that...

I don't have a lot of experience with CZ pistols. Is this the new SA only CZ?

It is very common to have problems with the .32 and .380 Guardian. A two inch .38 makes a much better backup gun.

The fact that it is a single action without a manaul safety will keep it from getting many police contracts. Too many of them tend to have NDs with DAO pistols.

One local dealer has four XD pistols in stock. Three full size and one compact. I was looking at them yesterday and checking out the test targets that came from the factory with each pistol. The three full size guns had about 2 inch groups and the compact had all the rounds but the first...

I have a 100 yard rifle range beside my house. I use it for practice on my three position smallbore and dewar. I also use it for practice on my reduced course highpower. I have a steel target that I sometimes use for practice in the standing position with my position rifle. It is the same...

I have personal experience with three Dan Wesson 1911s. Two Pointman Minors and one Major. The two Pointman Minors were bought for about $475 and the Major was about $650. The Minors were both very good pistols out of the box. One had a perfect creep free trigger and it fed anything we...

People always compare the XD to the Glock but in reality about the only thing they have in common is they both have a plastic frame. Their basic designs are very different.

AIRCARVER The ATF has never been known for their firearms knowledge. The average gun owner knows more than 99% of them ever will. How can they or anyone else assume that a more or less FULLY COCKED pistol is a DA? In all other cases a DA means a hammer or striker more or less at...

I shoot three position and dewar competition and in the summer we practice a lot. I can not afford to buy match ammo for practice. I found that CCI Blazer shoots well in my rifle so it is my practice ammo. For practice in the 100 yard prone I weigh the rounds on a digital scale and sort...

It does not bother me at all to carry a series 70 1911 cocked and locked because the 1911 HAS internal safetys block the fall of the hammer. The safety blocks the sear and also the fall of the hammer. The hammer has to push the safety to the off position before it can fall far enough to hit...
