Been wantin' one myself... but the market is crazy right now and the low cap guns will PROBABLY still be available after everything settles... so I'm waiting for now. But I'll certainly be adding one to my collection soon

ditto on post number 2 and 5 (and 6 for that matter, too)

But... to answer the question... If you really do want to buy a .380 ; Bersa 380CC is the way to go IMHO... small as the Sig232 or Walther PPK, and 1/2 the price. My brother bought one and is almost done talking me into getting one too (just for plinking ... and his alternative motive is that...

Not to Pooh-pooh the whole question... but you specifically said you are looking for something because you want to tuck your shirt in... I always tuck my shirt in, and I carry a full size 1911 (or a commander, or my officers... but that's not relevant) they make IWB holsters, and then they...

Ummm... I'm supprised nobody mentioned this yet (maybe they did and I missed it... But... Have you considered that it was not the ammo, but the gun? If you ejected the old round, then the hammer was back, and was in SA mode. I had a gun once that would have Fail-to-Fires in double action, but...

If the EMP was available when I was buying my EDC, I'd have one (at least). I bought a officer's 1911 (in .45) and am happy with it... at least to the point where I am not going to go through the effort of selling it to buy an EMP... but if i had it to do over... the EMP would probably be...

I carry the officer's model, but I am neither female, nor small. Another option I would consider (for a small woman, not myself) would be to trade the Sig 226 for a Sig 232. New modern ammo (like the brand new hornady loads) are beginning to get respectable performance... and if she likes the...

While watching this, I remembered from back in the cold war when a TV network made a big deal out of a mini-series with a similar (post limited strike) plot. (wish I could remember the name of it OTTOMH) Most specifically, I remember them having a panel discussion after the final episode and...

standard (cheap) 230 gr ball ammo is an acceptable choice for a .45 acp. It's not as "sexy" as some of the newer choices. And technology HAS advanced since 1911... The newer rounds DO perform better. (I personally use HST or Gold Dots, depending on the gun) But, that said, the "big but slow"...

I've got a HS Compact crusader myself. I was a little hesitant because of the low price, but after doing the afore-mentioned google, I went ahead and bought it. A fine purchase in my opinion. I Do indeed agree that it shoots as well as guns costing twice as much. - Not as nice as the...

I've owned a few 1911's over the past 20 years, and I just last month I bought my first Glock (a 21 SF). The only reason I wouldn't carry the glock is becasue it's so much thicker than the 1911 (thicker is harder to conceal). If you not going to carry concealed, then that advantage goes away...

As noted earlier; the reasons I would list are 1) trigger 2) trigger 3) thumb safety 4) flat for concealment and 5) trigger

There's a DW CBOB that's been calling my name every time I pass by the shop... don't think I'll be able to resist much longer.

I'm not an historian, but I notice a distinct lack of pre-20th century firearms... Certainly there were iconic handguns in the Civil War, the old West, and such... The Colt Peacemaker perhaps?

It might... but does it mention "conditioning" or softening the leather? I was so impressed with how easy waxing was, I went back and did the whole back side. - I had a problem with sweating through the leather of holsters I wear and getting warm salt-water held up against my pistol (bad...
