I have noticed that green dot sights are a lot easier to see (for me anyhow). I do not get the flare or halo around the dot like I get with the red color. On a side note- when I am driving, the gas station signs usually have gasoline prices in red lighting and diesel lit up in green. I can...

What are those grips made from? They look like well used ivory.

Try a heat gun (on low) or a (hair) blow dryer. It heats the cosmoline for easy removal.

The trigger on the Shields that I tried sucked. It was almost as bad as a hand powered staple gun. I shoot double action revolvers and autos, Glocks and 1911s and they all release with minimal movement of the sights. The stock sights on the shield are heavy and break badly, causing the sights...

Happen to have the same two guns listed. The holster for the G23 works with the shorter gun too. I also have a Safariland ALS holster for the G23, which seems to fit the G23 better than the G27- go figure! The ALS (Automatic Lock System) has MUCH less rattle and movement than the Serpa. It...

Yes. Once!

I use Gun Test magazine. They have skin in the game. They actually purchase guns off the shelf (no cherry picked models, complements of the manufacturer) with their own scratch. They shoot them, head to head and print the results. No kiss up BS or excuses for their own bad day shooting. I...

Be careful of the Fobus (I have an older model from 15+ years ago- they may have changed since). I was shooting in the winter on one occasion and was unable to draw the gun from the holster. The polymer holster had stiffened up, due to the cold (about 25 degrees) temperature and would not...

Tropical Buzz- nice post, very relevant to a few people whom I've met (fortunately very few). Those who seem to be taking offense may not have read your entire post, may not appreciate the dry Brittish humor or may in fact be mall ninjas themselves. That was a well placed poke into a hornet's...

Welcome to a very nice and interesting forum. In my neck of the woods Glocks generaly run $500-600, depending on caliber (.45 ACP model G21 are usually more costly). I doubt that they would be nearly as interesting at six times the amount though. I was considering the purchase of a P2022 but...

I've noticed that on the mid sized models (19, 23, ect.) the width of the top and bottom grooves are narrower than the center groove. If you look, the top and bottom grooves have two rows of "checkering" while the center one has three. The full sized and the sub-compact models, each have three...
