Hence, not a good round for a novice who hasn't be exposed to such things as shot placement and alternative actions. Also a good reason I don't like .380. If I have to carry a subcompact auto I carry a 9mm Sig P938. It's all about training with what you intend to carry and carry what you train...

For every "test" that says .380 doesn't penetrate enough or expand enough I'll show you two that do. They're all opinions, some based on more facts than others, but opinions none-the-less. There are .380 rounds that generate almost as much energy as standard 9mm but the fact that most .380's...

I'm in the same situation. I have drawers full of pistols and wanted a tough, inexpensive everyday truck gun. So I bought a Gen 4 model 19 and started shooting. Didn't like the trigger, made a couple of reasonably lawyer proof mods and now I shoot it great and I've had no problems. I dry fire...

OP update - I ordered a NY green trigger spring and a G17 trigger assembly. Tried the NY trigger setup and it was ok but not what I was looking for. I could learn to shoot it well enough I think but I was still in the experimenting stage so I put it back to stock configuration and started over...

Thanks for all of the informative replies. More range time, and research, has led me to believe I am creating the problem by short stroking the resets. The geometry of the Glock trigger system is just different enough from that of say the Springfield XD that it takes much more practice to use a...

Don't know if there are any Glock fans here but I have a question regarding the G19 Gen 4 trigger. I'm new to Glocks and fairly new to polymer guns in general. I recently bought the afore-mentioned gun and wasn't too happy with the trigger so I bought one of the Ghost 3.5 lb connectors to see if...

I'm lucky enough to have a fairly large bulk loader located here in town. They load thousands of rounds a week for competition, training and sale. They also load for companies such as Winchester to fill back orders or whatever. I buy 147 grain 9 mm for under $200 per thousand and have never...
