The M&P accuracy issues were solved years ago before the 2.0 even came out. Some shooters may still prefer the Apex trigger but the factory 2.0 trigger is just fine as-is.
I used to own a SCCY. The hammer is a true DAO, which means it does not pre-cock in any way prior to pulling the trigger. When at rest it sits against the inertia-type firing pin. The pistol might fire if it is dropped onto a hard surface, and I could see possibly the hammer getting snagged...
One look at a Ruger LCP or Kel-Tec P3AT barrel and you'll notice how thin they are. The .380 is a relatively low-pressure round, but it's still powerful enough to split a skinny barrel like that if there's a metallurgical flaw in it. The OP said it was a new pistol with only 75 rounds through...
I was just about to buy one of these at the beginning of the year when a clean used Beretta 92FS caught my eye and wallet instead. The one I examined at a LGS and considered buying had a decent trigger, not Walther PPQ-like at all but definitely manageable with a little practice. The thing to...
Gun and ammo manufacturers usually bend over backwards to take care of their customers, which is a far cry from car makers, PC makers, or pretty much any other company that manufactures a consumer product. Something to think about whenever some anti-gun hothead starts pontificating about the...
If you look at the channel/furrow in a Kahr follower you'll see how it's not straight. There are two angles to it, and the forward angle allows rounds to dip down instead of chambering. You're not sanding the follower flat, just changing the angles inside the channel. There are several YouTube...
I've been running a P380 for about a year and a half now. At first it needed a thorough cleaning (I even found metal shavings in the striker channel) and lube, and it would run great until the fouling built up after 50 rounds and it would start to malfunction. Additional cleaning, lubing, and...
The $7 "GI surplus" mags you often find at gun shows are usually nothing but cheap imported junk. But I agree often the factory mags aren't much better. Current factory Colt mags are good, but Wilson, Brown, Tripp and CMC mags are much better.
I don't own a sub-compact 9mm because all the ones I tried were too hard to control and shoot accurately. If I had a small 9mm that I could shoot well (like a Kahr P9) then a similar-sized .380 would be too large for its caliber. Therefore I find the OP's question too complex to answer, even...
Like Eb1 I first shot one at the age of ten. They've been a lifelong addiction for me, but at the same time I can understand how many of the younger folks don't see what's so special about them. It's like the guys who like double-action revolvers or Browning Hi-Powers, I owned both on at least...
I've thought about doing this with one of my stainless Series 70 Governments, but I'm a bit concerned about how good a job I'd do using just sandpaper and paste polish. I'd rather pay to have Colt to do it, but they're so backed up they're not even accepting refinishing jobs right now.
That makes sense. After all, the military may have had the Colt Automatic Pistol but they also had the Browning Automatic Rifle. Two completely different animals!
Semi-automatic is one shot per trigger pull. Fully-automatic is nonstop firing until you release the trigger, i.e. a machine gun.
Calling a pistol an "automatic pistol" would normally mean machine gun, but you can thank the anti-gunners for doing everything in their power to confuse the issue...
I've had a P380 for about a year and a half. It works fine until it starts getting dirty, then the FTE's begin. Also the springs don't last, either the recoil or the magazine springs. I didn't waste time with Kahr, I did a fluff n' buff of the internals (TONS of gunk inside the striker channel...
I don't care much for polymer guns because I prefer fine machinery. I like car engines, racing cycles, power tools... basically anything made using machined steel or aluminum parts. Old-school guns like the 1911, Luger, SAA, and Pocket Hammerless were made from machined forgings precisely fitted...
Actually (and ironic perhaps) the 1911 was never a mainstream LEO choice during its entire 100+ years of existence. G-men and Texas Rangers used them to some extent in the old days, and during the 1970s there was brief interest in the 1911 as a police duty arm when several California departments...
The 1911 world has long been filled with useless aftermarket bolt-on crap advertised to make the gun shoot better but in truth delivering the exact opposite result. Now I guess it's Glock's turn.
