    9 mm with a short trigger pull

    I carry a SA EMP 9mm. It has one of the sweetest factory triggers I've ever had. It's pricey, but worth it. The frame is slightly smaller than a standard 1911 too, which help with trigger reach.

    9mm options

    The confusion may have arisen since you did not initially ASK people to list their favorites. You simply asked for EVERY manufacturer who makes a compact, hammer fired, 9mm. That's an enormous request. Favorites? That's a little easier. I carry one every day concealed in fact. My choice? SA 9mm...

    The best .45acp ever made

    Is this a test?

    Yes, it's hard to imagine what the firearms world would look like without JMB.

    120 years of Browning designs

    I can say that I am not too disappointed in being away for most of the day, as my post now seems to be meandering back on topic. As for the Baby Browning, that is actually next on my list. I endeavored to obtain the harder to find, or more expensive, models first as the "Baby" is somewhat easier...

    Well that's the thing about "better". You just can't quantify it. All those people you mentioned worked in different eras, with different metallurgy, and different contract requirements.

    120 years of Browning designs

    It is that Browning was so successful over so long a period of time, and made such enduring designs. It's easy to say that the guns of the past were crude in this age of high technology. And in a very real sense, a lot of older guns were crude. But a lot of them were just different. What some...

    120 years of Browning designs

    It was. In fact, if you look back to Browning's original concept for what would become the Hi Power, or P35, it even looks quite different from the product we know today. A rare prototype shows that Browning originally put the safety on the back end of the slide. Very odd indeed. However it is...

    And a heckuva lot smaller than I would have thought. A full size 1911 dwarfs it.

    The goal: To collect all the Browning designed semi-auto pistols, and any other random Browning design that might find its way into my hands. Top: Model 1897 Pump Shotgun, Model 1892 lever action rifle. Left to Right: Hi Power T series, Hi Power MK III, FN Model 1900, FN Model 1910/22, Kimber...

    Ruger 10/22 cheek riser.

    I mounted one of the Cabela's rimfire scopes on my 10/22 and due to the height of the scope rings (I bought the shortest ones I could find) I can no longer get a good cheek weld when shooting. Are you guys using any specific risers to remedy this problem?

    380 vs. 9mm compact (not pocket)

    I am a shameless swooner. I admit it, I love pretty guns. I don't buy them exclusively, I have GLOCKs too. But yes, I swoon.

    380 vs. 9mm compact (not pocket)

    Don't buy too deeply into the "stopping power" jargon. As someone already mentioned, all handgun ammunition is inadequate to a large degree. Is there a reason to choose 9mm over 380? You tell me. Firearms chambered in 380 can get very small and the recoil remains manageable. That's a plus for...
