I've had the slide slam forward on a brand new gun with crappy mag springs. Replacing the recoil spring and cleaning the followers in the mags (the springs were replaced later) seemed to cure my problem. I've owned a lot of pistols and this was the more expensive one in my collection that would...

I had a hard on for Mk23's in my relative youth, til I saw one in person. Then it was the .45 Tactical, but back then a 1K gun was out of my price range. Seeing them side by side, I can't even imagine why the SEAL's would strap the Mk 23 to their legs. THEY ARE HUUUUUUGE!!!! Still cool, but its...

Our department used to have a policy that you could carry whatever was on the approved list. After Hurricane Ivan, we loaned a lot of personnel to Galveston and Houston. A few months later, they remembered us when they were parting with their sig pro's. (Since then, they lobbied for a standard...

I remember reading about Gaston's attack when doing research for my first pistol purchase way back when (which, as it were, was a Glock 20. Doh!) I may have been a naive young man, or attracted to the glock 'myths', but it was really a cheap way to get into 10mm. It has been sold a long time...

I find this rather surprising to have come off of NPR of all places. They love reporting on wars, but bash the living daylights out of us 'gun-totin', law abiding citizens' quite frequently. Now we just need them to get a 10mm story going for how awesome the cartridge is. More...

+1 for FNP 45, but I'd go USG for the cocked and locked option. They're extremely light, tough and reliable (and in your price range). The grip fits like a glove in the hand, though I thought the slide was a little fat. Mags as someone stated range between 28 and 34 for what I've seen in the...

I saw this posting and a very similar one just the other day looking between an STI and a Fusion. I put my two cents in on Fusions :barf: versus STI. I just assumed that everyone knew my stance on the superior STI and banners would be hoisted on every building between Texas and Canada...

As another fellow 10mm (Tanfoglio Stock II), I'm a little curious to all the sudden interest of the minor 10mm rebirth going around. I took my toy bag out to the range today to test some upgrades, and even in its -semi-completed refinish-in-progress, I got a lot of nice compliments to its...

Like a few other posters, I can't quote on the Sigma side of things, but I have used S&B quite a bit for CC qualifications. I didn't have any malfunctions, but I noted it wasn't quite as accurate as Speer Lawman, for example. I'm more of a hammer-fired pistol guy myself, but in the striker-fired...

I've seen HK's converted to 10mm, at great expense and several trips to the 'smith, but I tell ya what. I'd buy one! Just went to the range with my 10mm Stock II today to test some new parts. Outside of the eyebrows you get when firing, the bullet simply goes (fast!) where you point it. Stupid...

If you've ever used a red dot on anything, its really the same, outside of having it quite bulky. For the purpose of red dots, I'd illustrate the Trijicon RMR mini RDS (or the burris version). Its typically mounted on a picatinny rail, but pistols such as the FNP45 have a dedicated mounting...

I know you said nothing about glocks, but I was looking at trading a gun of mine for an FNP45. I went and held several and worked the action at a gun show about two weeks ago. It felt great in the hand, but what killed it for me was all the very glock like control levers. I've got big hands and...

I like that 10mm carbine too! Beast in looks to boot. I thought about a Para 16-40 for my 10mm glock replacement when I was doing all this 10mm conversion research, and I don't recall the exact problem, but aside from reaming the barrel a lot of Para owners seemed to have some fluster with...

Thanks for the reply, but I forgot to ask. Which size did you end up with? I forgot the exact dimensions, but as I recall, one was a bit wider than the other. I suspect that I would mold a new sight channel for a new sight in the end, holster wise.

Good to hear, which means you can answer my question :D So far as sight height versus the stock super sight, how much wider/taller is it, and does it hang up if/when you holster the weapon? That's been my primary hold-up on locking one down. Fine motor skills go out the window if you (read...
