I love mine. It's an older internal extractor version, and I haven't had any complaints about it yet. The mags needed new springs. After that got fixed, no problems at all.

Allow me to throw in something a little different: A Smith and Wesson Chief's Special .45. Seven shots of .45 in a pretty small package. DA/SA, good sights, and a nice looking gun to boot. It will use the same mags as the 4513, and they're not terribly expensive. I'd also throw in...

I have a pocket holster for the G26 and 27. It's a Don Hume pocket holster, and it works pretty well. I got mine here: http://www.gunnersalley.com/ This gun will hide and ride well in a thicker pair of Dockers, or jeans. It won't work with suit pants at all. It probably won't work if...

Man, you can't go wrong here. You've actually narrowed the field down to where you can't really make a bad choice. I'm not a 239 fan, just because the grip seems stubby, and the balance is off for me. However, it shoots great. If it feels ok to you, no problems with this pick. I...

Thanks ever so much. I'll go ahead and take the $75 dollar shot at it. The links were extremely helpful. Much appreciated.

Since the big move, all my Colt research material is locked up in storage, so I turn to the fourm to answer a couple of questions. I recently came across a Colt Banker's Special in .22 Long Rifle. The intersting thing about the gun, aside from its age, is that it appears to have been given...

I love the 229's. Just absolutely love them. They are a bit heavy and thick, but they shoot lights-out. I had a 39313 TSW and a 4513TSW that both performed well. I don't think S&W is making them anymore, so parts and mags might be an issue. But they are excellent guns. I'd agree...

I'm a huge Sig fan. If I had my choice between the two, I'd normally choose Sigs over a glock any day. I have two exceptions: the Sig 239 and the Sig 245. The 245 is not my favorite in the Sig line. I don't know exactly why, but felt recoil with that gun was horrible. I'd guess it...

I carry with a round chambered. Whatever I carry, I'll use whatever safeties are on the gun. If it's a da/sa with a safety, I'll engage the safety (Walther PPK, USP, etc.). If it's a 1911, same thing. I seem to carry Glocks and Sigs more these days, so it's not so much of an issue...

I'm all about the 229. A 229 in .40 was my first Sig, and others have followed. I'm really partial to the 229 in 9mm, personally. I am not sure about the 250. It does seem to have a nice trigger, but this modularity stuff hasn't really lit my fires yet. It just seems...wrong. I have no...

Glock 26/27. Small enough for the right pocket, can handle bigger magazines from its elder brothers, large enough capacity, reliable, accurate. Lightweight, comparatively. Easy to carry IWB, OWB. Pick your caliber. Sig 232. Small enough for pocket, reliable, lightweight, great...

I'm Not Insane....Well.... I do the same dadblasted thing with my 17 and 19. I don't with the 26 or 27, and I don't do it with my Sigs or 1911's. It will put them in the same hole, but about 2 inches left every time. Obviously the gun is accurate to its point of aim. It just seems that it...

Did I mention that I'm a technical idiot? I have no idea how to post pictures, wish I did. But I DO have a P6. I DO! I DO!

I hate to brag, but....:D The gun show turned out to be quite productive this weekend. I ended up with a 225/P6 in about 90% condition, two magazines, and the box. This is one of the better examples of the species that I've seen. $300. Plus, I bought a third mag for $25. It bears an...

I have a 232 and love it. It's in the carry rotation, and everything you said about the 230 goes for it as well. Mine's the blued version, which is actually a bit lighter than the stainless, which makes it a decent pocket carry piece.
