Every Glock chambered for the 10mm Auto I have seen or shot is basically identical. All have ramps, even the aftermarket barrels. As for 1911 patterned 10mm's, you would have to ask the manufacturer. Seems to be the same for any caliber I that the platform is chambered for. Some are ramped...

I am a new owner of a Custom II and have no complaints so far. 600 rounds with two failures, but that was "stock magazine" related in the first 50 rounds. Retired that magazine to the dust bin and not a hiccup since with Wilson's. The pistol is as accurate as I am and I like it.

Hello all, thank you for all the suggestions. I went with a Kimber Custom 2 as they are available without a 3 month wait in my area. The only Springfield that was not going to take ages to order was a GI model and I spent enough time with those in the Navy. So far, it shoots clean and...

I have a "pack gun" for my hiking expeditions into the mountains. A Taurus Tracker in .44. Light weight and will accept a 300 grain XTP.

I own a G20 and have been shooting it for years, both in competitive and hunting environments. The cartridge is about as versatile as you can get and still have a manageable semi-automatic delivery platform. It can be fed ammunition ranging from "it just sneaks into major PF" realm to "dropped...

A buddy of mine works search and rescue in Oklahoma and carries a .22 rimfire Mag revolver. I would not want to get in front of him. Seen him hit a full running rabbit at about 15 yards from horseback. It is what he is comfortable with and it is ultimately his choice. I do not see where the...

I own both. I have an old "hand me down" single action revolver that is much older than I am. It has been used and abused as a field carried gun, yet it is in fine functional shape. With a bit of TLC, I am confident that my grand kids will enjoy it decades from now as well. I also own...

Thanks all. Every other firearms I have purchased was an easy choice it seems. The 1911 encompasses a whole 'nother plane of existence it seems. So many manufacturers to choose from. I am in California, which leaves STI out of the equation for now, unfortunately.

Having worked on a range, I have had the opportunity to shoot many Kimber's...some extensively. I have never had one fail to feed, fire or eject in my hand. There have been a few complaints from owners that said they had problems that required factory work to correct. Most people report that...

Hello, Matt checking in. New to the forums. Have a small collection of rifles, pistols and revolvers. I shoot, though not as often as I used to, and reload.

I am really stuck. I have been shooting a long time, but have never owned a 1911. Recently, I made the decision to correct this deficiency and started researching a bit. Finally narrowed my selection in brand to two (if I buy new), Kimber and Springfield. There are several models offered...
