    the 25ACP Galesi

    Galessi is attractive little 25. Problem with these is they're not safe to carry with a round in the chamber.

    Good pistols - stupid name Owners refer to the Millennium and Millennium Pro pistols as belonging to three generations: Gen. 1 DAO; Gen. 2 DAO w/ improvements; and Gen. 3 SA/DA with front and rear dovetailed sights and as "special feature": many have observed that the guns often shoot low and...

    Lorcin L25

    what is the best, most reliable modern carbine?

    Rod5591, before randomly changing out carbine parts, check chamber and headspace. Chamber might be tight or too little headspace - this could by the cause of your mysterious .30 carbine problems.

    Shortcomings of Pump Shotgun Shown in 1986 Miami FBI Shootout?

    At the time, there was a concerted effort to brainwash LEOs that most fire fights consisted of 2-4 shots fired and cops didn't "need" auto pistols.
