Back 15 years ago when I got my G19, I got a bunch of KCI-s. Weak springs. Once those were replaced, they were OK. But not enough cheaper than OEM. No idea what they're like now.

Don't forget Magpul. Mecgar is also making Glock mags now (not the 33 rounders).

I'm suspicious of what "original equipment" means in context. All sorts of places make 1911s.

I keep the morning reload on a 8 shot Tuffstrip. That's strictly for loading the gun in the morning. Otherwise, Safariland Comp whatever-it-is, 2 in a back pocket.

That's what they say about the old Spanish knockoff revolvers.

I'd probably go with the Colt. Have a P90. Utilitarian. "Meh". I still think something about finding a modern holster for it. Shot a SIG like that once. Felt like shooting the Ruger. No experience with the Smith.

Cool! I have a 4" 19-4, factory nickle. Bought used a quarter century ago. Shoots very well.

Don't have quite the combination. I have an XDS45 "gen 1" (the first release). I have a 4th gen Glock 27 (now converted to 9mm but I have shot .40 through it). My perception, my 2 Cu oz. is, "pick one". I'd probably go with the Glock for parts and aftermarket support reasons. They both...

I carry a 3" Taurus 856 AIWB. It's quite doable. 3" barrel is not a problem at all.

Find a YooToob video on disassembly. Run through it. Ha ha. No. Maybe get a bushing wrench. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Wise. The Rock Island is pretty much "bog standard". I have one. It's fine. GI sights suck, compared to modern sights.

Magazines, so I read, is the bottleneck for their current usefulness. As in, very hard to find. I have one, from a relative's estate. Nice gun, needs some gunsmithing attention. (The ambi magazine release is funky-complicated, and not working well.) And one magazine. I will never carry that.

Back in the day, low twenty-oughts, the surplus places were advertising Bulgarian Maks for, IIRC, $129. FEG PA-63 for $99.

4 have gone through my hands. Only have a Russian commercial Baikal .380 now. I don't, honestly, have any real good use for it.

There's lots of 10mm-s around now. Tanfoglios are being imported again, for those that want the CZ75 action. Or check Gunborker for a 10mm EAA Witness.

Makarov, if they can be found. They're not the great bargain they once were. (You might be better off with a Bersa .380).

It's not uncommon to have to shave down a grip to clear speedloaders. I use sandpaper and emory cloth. Go slow, test frequently, it should be fine. Altamonts are some kind of wood laminate. I've had to modify a couple different sets. It looks fine when done.

Usual carry is my .38 Defender. Back in in October of last year, a guy got shot on this block. 14 shots through the window. We heard it happen. "At this time, it is believed this incident was not a random act of violence and this is a fluid and active investigation. The MyLittleCity Police...

1880s equivalent of .40 S&W. Nothing to be sneered at.

It's been a while. I think, firing pin, firing pin block. And I shipped it in to a service center, for hammer follow.

Taurus. "Affordability". Availability (Local gun monger occasionally has non-stupid prices on used stuff.) Currently mostly carrying one or another 856, for the extra round over a more typical 5 round snub. Continue to keep the LCRx .38 around because it's smaller and lighter, and the design...
