    Sig P320 trigger, curved vs Flat

    ...gun I have with a flat trigger on it, and its "different". One thing that, Im not sure if its me or the gun, but I find that there's a decent amount of trigger slap with it and my finger is noticeably sore after shooting with it. Not crappy US 922(r) "AK" trigger slap bad, but not far off...

    Ruger LCP1 Gen2 Vs. Gen3

    ...are irritating to the trigger finger, especially under recoil. I'm back to the original LCP; my experience has been that the IIs give me trigger slap/pinch. My originals have always worked, but, dammit, they just aren't any fun to shoot. Yinz boys who fire a hundred rounds at a session, may...

    Beretta 21A or Ruger LCP II?

    This was my deal when I had a 950 Beretta in .22 short and .25 ACP. The centerfire was super reliable, the .22 mostly. It was great fun to shoot. I wish Ruger would get off their rear, and improve the LCP line, instead of copying the KelTec original, right to the cheap, plastic feel. My LCPs...

    Hidden design improvement in LCP MAX vs LCP II

    I removed some plastic around the trigger opening, to no good purpose. This was on the II and the Max. Figured the last thing needed, if the poo actually hits the airmover, is the distraction of a pinched/slapped trigger finger. "...finger in a rat trap!" indeed. ;) Still have an original...

    Spring/Summer Carry? Missing My LCPII ☹️

    I've had a bunch of LCPs over the years, following a KelTec or two. They were reliable, but the most disagreeable little bastards to shoot. The II and the Max are more of the same, plus they slap/pinch my trigger finger. One II gifted me with a dead trigger. Been down the Kahr road; liked...

    If I wanted to put a 9mm upper on a regular AR lower---

    Again, thanks. My concern is more avoiding excess wear and tear on my SBR Colt, though, frankly, as little as I shoot it, it probably isn't an issue. I do have a ramped bolt, and a Geissele trigger; even in its 16" form, it never was common. It started life with A1 carry handle and sights...

    Ruger mk2 vs mk4?

    My first firearm purchase was a Ruger MKII 4.5" tapered barrel. Loved that little beauty and ran a butt ton of ammo through it. Now this was a LONG time ago, early middle 80's I believe. Had my first and only negligent discharge with it. If memory serves, the trigger was good but slapped the pad...

    Thoughts on an AMT Javalina Longslide in 10mm?

    Rockrivr1 I worked on an AMT Hardballer for a friend of mine and it had to be one of the most poorly built handguns I have ever seen. There was virtually no hand fitting of any of the internal parts. It was as if someone was handed a frame, a slide, a barrel, and a bag filled with the parts...

    Original 686 or original King Cobra

    New production guns are completely different animals. The current production King Cobra is just a rebadged and slightly updated Colt Carry Magnum. Which was a SF-Frame (D-Frame sized) .357 Magnum built off the Colt SF-VI in .38 Special. The current production line from Colt is not a real King...

    BodyGuard issues

    If you can find one, try a Remington RM380. With the extension magazines I get a full three finger on the grip, two with the flush fit.

    BodyGuard issues

    ...But the fundamental problem would remain unsolved...an LCP sized pistol that isn't an LCP (They are just stinkers to shoot, and give me trigger slap/pinch). Did try a buddy''s Kahr .380 last night; shot as well as one I'd had. But the racking issue is just a bear on those, and they have a...

    Controversial Question! Good Shooter vs. Bad Shooter

    That is the common fallacy from folks who think the 1911 trigger is the "Magic Bullet" to trigger management. I have taught many clients how to correctly "Prep" a trigger on a stock SIG 226...which isn't the same thing as Staging a trigger... so that the force on the trigger to release the sear...

    Controversial Question! Good Shooter vs. Bad Shooter

    I don't think people need to restrict themselves to owning only one pistol to achieve unconscious competence. A person can own a huge variety of firearms, but unless they want to really tremendously increase their training time, they probably want to train with one handgun and just plink and...

    Controversial Question! Good Shooter vs. Bad Shooter

    I understand your point but i believe you are using the wrong example. Slapping through a 2lb trigger on a 1911 means you hit the trigger stop with the force of the slap. That would/could disturb the muzzle and effect the shot. Grip in this case is more important than trigger control. Rob...

    Controversial Question! Good Shooter vs. Bad Shooter

    Teaching and working extensively with clients to break their bad trigger management habits Poor trigger management does affect all platforms. The 1911 is just the crutch that many folks turn to to cover it up...a perfect example of the arrow vs. the archer The nature of the 1911 trigger...

    Compact/Micro 9mm Suggestions?

    As far as single stack micro-9’s go, I guess I have a couple. I hate my Glock 43. It conceals very well, is reliable and accurate and is Glock simple to use. But; It slaps my palm and my trigger finger simultaneously when I fire it. So, I don’t shoot it very much. My Glock 43X MOS I love...

    New carry pistol...pocket rocket

    W.E.G., nice shooting. Shoot it like a revolver, just roll that trigger all the way through. It really isn't any worse than the double action trigger on a J-gun. Been fighting this battle for years, and have posted about it here. -The little Rugers (the original especially) are little, but...

    Sweet spot for .22LR rifle value?

    Not poor, but cheap . . . informal target shootin' . . . I'd probably get a Ruger American Rimfire of some sort. If I could spend double the money, I'd probably get a CZ or Tikka.

    Sweet spot for .22LR rifle value?

    FWIW My CZ455 did half inch at 50 yards, sporter hunting rifle w SK Rifle Match ammo. Hated the safety so got a 457, but in .22 magnum. Now am looking for an older Anschutz 64 for a hunter in .22 lr. Was gonna try NRL22 so picked up a Savage MKII TR. Only tried it w Fiocchi HV, new gun had a...
