Don't get me wrong, I love the 229 and M11-A1, they are both extremely well built and shoot darts, but get them for what they are ie: 229's and not a 228. Don't worry and stress about it like I used to do, whatever you decide, you'll shoot it and love it, can't go wrong with either! :)

M11-A1 uses the newer 229-1 mags. This was one reason to get the M11 vs an older 228 since I can exchange mags between the two guns. I believe in Col. Cooper's "Two is one, one is none".

I have a M11-A1 and 229. The M11 is really a rebadged 229. The slide is somwhat smaller but other than that it feels very similar to the 229. The allure (as I understand) about the original 228 was the balance and ergos. The problem with the new 228 is that the slide is not the same as the...

I couldn't agree more. Great post!

Consider the LCR. Great trigger, hogue tamer grips, polymer frame all seem to ease the recoil of the 357 round in a snub nose. Only downside...5 rounds.

I have a 5.25 and 3.8 XDM in 9mm. The long sight radius of the comp model is great, so is the high visibility front sight. Trigger is the same as the compact, somewhat disappointing for a "match" trigger, but very nice. You'll be surprised at how quick shooting the gun is. The gun is lighter...

Folks, this is just a test to see what "sticks". I think the legislation is so over the top that the goal is to try to get a "compromise" from gun advocates. If this does stick, however, it will be just a precursor to what happens on the national level.

I have sent at least a dozen emails, faxes and notified my friends to do the same. Bump here to keep the thread active and at the top. Folks, the fight is here, let's keep working to protect our constitutional rights!

Thanks to all of us, we succeeded, but only for now.... This is just the start of the fight and we need to stay on guard to watch for actions like this again. More importantly, we as responsible gun owners need to get the message out to our non "gun people" friends. There is a common...

EMP 9mm fanboy as well. Mine is very new, <300 rnds, but only had one stovepipe which I believe to be due to limp wristing. Otherwise no issues. One thing interesting, my EMP doesn't like Speer Gold dots as much as FMJ in the accuracy dept, I'm gonna try some Hornady Critical defense and report...

I have and love my Shield, but your hand probably is different than mine. That being said, the Nano didn't fit me as well. My shield is a tack driver with Speer gold dots, feeds perfectly and groups tighter with the JHP than with FMJ. To me this is perfect as the gun's purpose for me is self...

Another Victory Illinois Appeals Court strikes down ban on concealed carry as unconstitutional! Another small step in the right directions.

Anybody know if an older P290 can be 'retrofitted' to become a restrike version?

It is dead....for now Just an update: LEGISLATIVE ALERT! SB681 Bill Has Been Over-ridden By The House of Representatives and the Governors Veto! Today, the Illinois House of Representatives has voted to over ride SB681 and the Governors veto. By a vote of 78-28-0, the bill is...

Well if we use Costa's line of argument, making drugs like heroin illegal should stop or lessen the drug overdose problem.....oh wait, heroin is already illegal. Yeah right. How about some meaningful commentary on how we as a society have issues with how we relate to each other and resolve...
