I got a new pistol last week - a Beretta PX4 - and I also ordered a Mantis Laser Academy from Amazon, and it seem very cool. The idea is that there is a laser cartridge in the gun - when the firing pin hits, the laser fires. There is an app that uses your phone's camera to record and score...

I got a Kramer leather holster and a double magazine pouch for for my FiveSeven and it looked to be very high quality. When my wallet recovers from my mot recent purchase - a PX4 Storm - I will get a Kramer for that as well. https://www.kramerleather.com/

I found the Makershot so annoying that I’d rather just load with my thumb. I have also never stood on either one, and don’t plan to in the near future. My new PX4 came with a Makershot style mag loader - that’s why I went out and bought the UpLula. I forget what the UpLula cost - I think it...

I got the MakerShot and wish I hadn’t. The issue with simpler speed loaders is that they have a tab at the back pushes down the follower - but then the tab blocks the bullet going all of the way to the read of the magazIne. So you have to load the bullet, then push it back, then load another...

I bought the full size PX4 yesterday. I probably won’t make it to the range until next week. Thanks for all of the input.

In NC, open carry does not require a permit, but as of right now, concealed carry requires a permit. I think constitutional carry means that neither one carry or concealed carry require a permit.

I guess that used firearms really do hold their value better than I thought. I was tired of the price of 5.7zx28 ammunition, and I had my eye on a PX4 Storm, so I decided to sell my FiveSeven MMk II on consignment at my LGS. The store recommended that I put a price of $1000, which I thought was...

Thanks. Part of the dilemma is that I can rent the compact at range/LGS but they don’t even have a full size in stock. So if I go with FS, I think I might have to order it, so it would be a leap of faith. This is all predicted on my FiveSeven selling for what they think it will sell for - so...

My impression is that Langdon liked the compact initially because flatter decockers it fit into some IDPA box - I know nothing about IDPA - so it so could be used in certain matches. But that could just be wrong. Do you know of any articles or YouTube videos where he compares the full size and...

I have my FiveSeven on consignment at my local gun shop - if it sells for what they think it will sell for, I will be able to by a new pistol. I think that I am going to get a PX4 - I am fascinated by different mechanisms. At one point I had a CZ-52 in part for its roller locking. I am trying...

For right now, the ammo is not out of reach for me - but I sure will be happy when the prices start to come down a bit.

In August, I gave myself a retirement/birthday present and bought an FN FiveSeven. Due to competition with the Ruger 57, the price dropped significantly - down to $999 at my local gun shop, and I had never owned a FN quality firearm before - or a polymer pistol. I picked up thee more FN...

My thought is that a new Springfield Armory Mil-Spec is somewhere in the same ballpark (I think), and if I buy an SA and something is not working or breaks, it’s SA’s problem to fix. I also suspect that the SA is likely to shoot better and perhaps be more reliable. But I really don’t know much...

I guess that there is an element of chance here. I think that there - of my dad’s experience is normal - many, many of them may have been carried for many years, but perhaps not shot very often at all. The pitting sounds like it could be pretty nasty, but many of them may have never been shot in...

Thanks, Mike

Different strokes, as they say. As nice as my Turkish made Armalite 24 is, I would love to see a Turkish Hi Power clone with the same trigger as a classic Hi Power, but no magazine safety. There might not be enough of a market for such a weapon, but I would be sorely tempted. Thanks, Mike

This makes sense. Thanks for the explanation. Mike

I am a little puzzled over the allure of CMP 1911s. My father was a 20 year Navy officer - I think most of what he did was with a 1911 was hand it to the next watch. But he didn’t think very much of his service weapon. He found it pretty inaccurate to say the least. He was of the opinion that...

I amn a little puzzled by the market for this gun. When I have contemplated buying a Hi Power, it’s precisely because it’s a classic SA design. An DA/SA variant seems like it avoids the essence of what is a Hi Power to me. Is the appeal of this gun that it’s a slimmer DA/SA? How does the...

You are correct - I was wrong.
