    SIG M17 Jamomatic!

    I have a P320C and I like it but I'm getting tired of the new revelations about how Sig knew about these problems and did nothing. Oh, sure, they fixed the military trigger stop the drop-safe problems but commercial units....meh. I am a little surprised about some of the malfunctions...

    Glock 20 Thoughts?

    I really like mine. It is definitely powerful when using hot handloads or Underwood (or similar hot factory ammo). I have had handloads pushing ~900ft-lbs at the muzzle - confirmed by Chronograph (this was with a 6-5/8" aftermarket barrel). For defensive purposes, I think that the factory ammo...

    Who makes the best 10mm, model 1911?

    What brand of holster is that? Also, I'll put in another vote for Glock. I have a Glock 20SF with a Lone Wolf Longslide and 6-5/8" threaded barrel. I get good velocity with book-loads and it is very accurate. Lots of good options for sights, accessories etc. Price for the base gun is good too.

    Glock 20SF Longslide

    To answer your question, no I did not use factory slide parts. I bought the Lone Wolf slide competion Kit. It cost about a hundred bucks and has all the little picky bits needed to make a complete slide. Its kind of expensive for the silly little packet of parts you get, but it is probably...

    Glock 20SF Longslide

    The weather finally cooperated and I got out to the range. I brought three handloads with me to test out Hornady 155gr XTPs over 800X Hornady 200gr XTPs over AA#9 Magtech 180gr FMJ over Alliant 2400 I have never used 800X before because the flakes are so coarse that you need to hand...

    Glock 20SF Longslide

    The BH Serpa I have fits it fine. The barrel does hang down out of the holster, but that is to be expected. Plus, I have been toying with the idea of buying a DIY Kydex Holster kit. Those look relatively easy to put together...

    Glock 20SF Longslide

    Hello beautiful. I got the goodies this week. Still waiting on the LWD recoil spring and guide rod. This is a LWD long slide, 6.63 in threaded barrel on a g20sf. I will try to follow up with a range report in a week or two if the weather cooperates.

    Picking a 7mm-08

    Those are all pretty good choices. If money was no object, I would vote for the Winchester. The Remington would be my #2 with the Savage guns after that. I had a Savage 110 (30-06) and it while it was one of the least refined guns I have owned, it was Very accurate. I'm not trying to add to...

    Capacity VS Caliber - Home Defense

    Some folks will say that placement trumps power and magazine capacity. To that I say Yes and Not Really. True, Placement trumps power every time, but capacity gives you more chances to get the placement right. Personally, I want BOTH power and Capacity. I run a standard 15+1 in my G20. I...

    ultimate fighting semi.auto.pistol

    Glock 20 with the following extras: - extended base mag (19rd capacity) - Tactical length slide and barrel (5.15 in) - Trijicon RMR mounted in a Lone Wolf "combat cut" with tritium suppressor height sights. - Streamlight TLR2 Light/laser combo. This gives you nearly the power of a 41Mag...

    Home defense with a 1911

    I dont use a 1911, but I dont see any particular problem with using one. It was good enough for the US Army for many years. It sure beats having no gun. Personally, I think which particular gun you keep for HD is less important than the fact that you Do keep a gun for HD and have within reach...

    M&P 9mm mags

    I bought an M&P9 in January because I saw a good price. But after owning it for a little while and not being able to find spare mags for anything close to reasonable I gave up and traded it for a Ruger SR9. I like the SR9 just as much (well, the grip on the M&P9 is a little better) and Ruger...

    Ruger P-89 accuracy work

    To the OP. I don't know of any gunsmiths that work on P-Guns, but I do know that if you want to lighten the trigger its super easy and costs next-to-nothing. You just need a new hammer spring. The weight of the trigger will definitely be reduced. Just make sure that you still have enough...

    Thinking about a 1911 in 10mm. Suggestions?

    When i was researching my 10mm purchase I found some pics on the interwebs showing the Kimber 10mm chamber. It had excellent support. The Dan Wesson was also excellent. Use your Google-Fu and look it up. Nevermind, here's a link to a thread about 10mm chambers...

    Thinking about a 1911 in 10mm. Suggestions?

    Basically, What he said. I would avoid any 10mm that does not have a ramped barrel. At 37,500psi, the Ten is a high pressure cartridge (for a semi-auto). If you are going to have a 10, you will want to reload. If you reload you want your cases to make it thru several reloading cycles without...

    Rifle for my little girl

    Personally, I would pass on the .243. Dad got one for my brother and I when we were youngsters and neither one of us could abide it. It was Not easier for us to shoot than the .308 and for what we were doing (deer hunting) a .308 is superior. Of course, both myself, and my brother were very much...

    Reloading the Glock 20

    Since we are talking about reloading for the G20... I chrono'd some handloads this weekend and had some good and some surprising results. The Good: 180gr Magtech FMJ over a Max-0.2gr load of Blue Dot. The max load is supposed to run about 1295ft/s. My 0.2gr reduced charge was averaging...

    Reloading the Glock 20

    Necessary? No. Optimal? - Yes. If you keep your loads within published data (Always a good idea) and do not try to squeeze too many loads out of your casings you should be fine.
