That’s just rude.
Yes, you should replace them with Sigs of course
That’s just rude.
What's wrong with an aftermarket ambi safety?I just don't get the high capacity craze Unless you are law enforcement or military, someone who runs to trouble. Or a gangbanger /drug dealer who puts themselves in harms way . If you can't get it done with 6-8 rounds you are most likely up that proverbial Fecal matter creek . I carry glocks but it is for a couple reasons 1st they are cost effective 2nd being a lefty I don't have to add an after marker ambi safety 3rd controls are exactly the same from 380 to 10 mm. I carry the 6-10 round guns way more than the hi capacity glocks . I am saving for a 48 as soon as glock makes it with a black slide
I don't want any after market parts on a concealed carry gun . My right handed 870 has a complete left handed trigger group I am waiting on a lefty safety for my Ruger Charger. The 870 is a utility gun and the charger a woods bummin' gunWhat's wrong with an aftermarket ambi safety?
Help me understand something. What is the point of wiping down the outside of a gun when all the dirt is on the inside? Trying to make sense of this.Having just returned from my local range after firing two of my full size 1911s (1 in .45ACP, 1 in 10mm), I wiped them down with RemOil, put them in my safe, and took out my Sig P220 in .45ACP for carry tomorrow since it's clean. I did change holsters but the double mag pouch works for all my single stacks. Since it's still snowy winter, they hide nicely under my jacket.
Not sure that I understood your question.

Of course like most gun owners, I only have one mag for my 1911, though I do have more than 7 rounds of ammo in the house. However, I have worked out the common home invasion scenario where several professional assassins break into my house. I've trained my wife and kids extensively in this scenario, when my 1911 is empty I'll throw them the mag, they'll load it up with 7 more rounds, they've gotten very good at this as they have small/nimble fingers, and throw it back to me so I can stay in the fight. (sarcasm)Why do some people intentionally limit their firepower to only 7 or 8 rounds when they could have nearly any amount?
This is the seminal question with regard to home defense. You have hit the nail on the head. And yet such compromises abound.One may ask when seconds count, why one would choose a less capable round, in a less accurate gun, with a more difficult to operate trigger?

Because I can go around corners easier and maintain control of a handgun easier in a hand to hand situation. Other's may have different needs, and come up with a different solution. Everybody has their own right answer.Then why choose a handgun for home defense?
My son can rust a blued gun by just holding it once. Seriously. We had his LC9s slide and trigger cerakoted because he could not keep it from rusting any other way. Wiping it down after handling will work for most folks with a blued gun.Help me understand something. What is the point of wiping down the outside of a gun when all the dirt is on the inside?

True dat!Then why choose a handgun for home defense?
Back to the thread topic, I can't understand why anyone that likes handguns wouldn't want at least one in 45 ACP or why they wouldn't want that one to be a 1911.
Fair enough.My son can rust a blued gun by just holding it once. Seriously. We had his LC9s slide and trigger cerakoted because he could not keep it from rusting any other way. Wiping it down after handling will work for most folks with a blued gun.
I'm amazed how much my interests have changed in 5 or 10 years, but that class that's detested here and other places is still forefront in my mind most of the time, but now it seems a lot of what's preoccupying my mind is what I want now that may not be available in the future thanks to future local/state/federal laws and regulations.My interests have changed considerably in recent years as I have become more of the dreaded "prepper" that are so unpopular on THR. There are so many choices now in modern designed 45 semi-auto pistols I am probably going to add a modern higher capacity one in the not so distant future. As I have surprised myself at how well I like the S&W M&P9 with the 4.25" barrel a M&P 45 is near the top of the list. (Plastic, striker fired omg!) I am not sure what barrel length (4.25" or 5") I will finally choose as everything is trade-off. I don't really seeing it replacing my 9mm's as carry guns but the 5" barrel is too large and heavy for the ladies in my family.
