I don't get it. I'm not trying to be an ass, but I don't. My G23 with any ammo is easily manageable. It kicks a little bit more than my 9mms, but nothing significant. Here's Hickok45 with a good video demonstration between a Glock 9mm, Glock 40, & Glock 10mm. (G26, G27 & G29). Glock...

Best firearm decision I made recently was a Kahr CW9 for concealed carry. Accurate, well made, very light, extremely thin and reliable. Worst firearm decision ever made: Selling my 2005 (I think - maybe 2003 or 2004, but bought new) Sig P239, with West German made frame. I would never part...

That's homey-licious. It needs to be sold with two commemorative bandannas, one blue and one red, tied around the grip of each twin Glock.

Glock 23 all the way. I have owned both, and sold off the Springfield, as I personally experienced way too many FTE with it. YMMV. p.s. - Whoever said that the magazines on the Springfield are better because they're all metal, I take issue with that statement. In fact, I'd argue that few, if...

Kahr CW9. Again, as has been said - hands down.

Kahr concealed pistols, ala P-series/PM-series/CW-series are the best thing to happen to RKBA and the world of pistols since Glock came along. My CW9 has been flawless and is the only truly concealable weapon in a 9mm or + range that I've ever found that just plain works and is KISS approved

You need stopping power in a CCW. I keep telling everyone this, with all their comments on 9mm, .40S&W, .45ACP and other such silliness.

Purely cosmetic. Few people know it, and I didn't until recently, but Kahrs have MORE steel in their rails (you just can't see it due to the design) than Glock receivers: http://glocktalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=765313

I have decided to CCW this, because I'm tired of pondering what is or isn't adequate for self defense, and this relieves me of that burden: The worlds most powerful pistol is the Austrian Pfeifer-Zeliska .600 Nitro Express Magnum. It is chambered to fire the British developed .600 caliber rifle...

What isn't to like? A great cartridge, with better penetration than 9mm or .45ACP, delivering nearly or as much energy and expansion as a .45ACP, in a platform that allows 13+1, and is quite tame in recoil, in a relatively light weight and very reliable firearm... ...that's worth a lot...

A lot of companies have gone down this road - IMO - including Glock, now. No matter how one slices it, there is no doubt that there is more bitching and moaning about 4 Gen Glock (which...da da da da...are being produced in the U.S.) than any other generation Glock. Even if one considers...

If I had to use one sentence to describe the modern firearm landscape in the U.S., the thread title would be it. By the way, I would include myself in this category, sadly. It is just an observation, and it does not apply to all, so do not take offense or become defensive, as I'm as likely...

When I went to sell my circa-2004 Sig P239, with W. German made frame, I was swamped with immediate requests to buy it. Gun shop owners were even contacting me and offering full asking price. There is definitely something to this desire.

That thread is 8 years old. The CW9 and PM9 hadn't even been designed, let alone produced yet. Do a search on EMP issues, and you'll come across many, just like with any product (it's an inevitable law of statistics). The CW9 is one of the least complained about 9mm semiautos I've ever come...

NG VI - tons of FTFs, only using aftermarket Mecs. On same range sessions, going back to factory CZ mags, zero problems. This was 4 years ago, and I haven't used them since. Maybe they've upped their game since then.
