Savage Pistols I will post pertinent details, hopefully next week. Thanks for the replies. jed

Does anyone here know of a site that covers these pistols? I have a friend that has one he would like to sell and I am trying to help establish a price range for the gun. I believe it is a pocket type 32 ACP. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks jed

P 97 My Ruger P 97 shoots on par with the Sig 220 and yet cost half of the price. With Ruger, the luck of the draw comes into play. Two specimens may yield entirely different results even if purchased at the same time. I am not on Ruger's pay roll and in general don't care for their...

Sig GSR Look for a used one. They don't resell well. Check for hammer lean and the sharp edges. I bought mine used and am completely satisfied with the gun. However, they are still 1911's and can have the same and different glitches as other 1911 style. By all means try to test fire...

Trigger finger sting I don't recommend Glocks because of the finger stinging! Your mileage may vary. jed

Ruger P 95 and P 97 I have a P 95. It shoots nine mm. just fine. The P 97 shoots well and is accurate with my hand loads. I think the performance of both is excellent. jed

Springfield did offer in 40 SW. There are two here in Toledo. They appear to be loaded models. jed

G 17 Grips Thank you gentlemen for your suggestions. jed

Cougar 8045 I had one that was DAO. Good gun. Just couldn't get into the DAO habit!! Gun was thick as mentioned. Traditional double action may be OK. Gun functioned flawlessly. Good luck on finding a used one. jed

Has anyone used the Hogue Hand All grip on the third generation G 17?? All comments are welcomed including the negative. Thanks jed

Sig 220 If you tire of the 220 you can then go to the 1911 design. I like both designs, but not necessarily equally. Later jed

Glock 17 The gunsmith fixed the problem identified by the other posters. It took about 5 minutes for the job. Thanks to all posters. I hope readers have received benefit from this thread.

Glock 17 I bought it from Gander Mountain and it is under warranty. So I will take it back to them. I agree with your assessment. I had the gunsmith put in a 3.5 pound connector. May be that happened when everything was reassembled. Basically, I asked the question so that I will know...

I have a Glock 17 that with magazine out will lock open when pulled all the way back. As best I can tell, the slide lock is at fault. Has anyone experienced this before with Glocks. Thanks jed

I agree with the comments about the Model 29. This would be the gun I would want if it were the only one I could afford, but could also afford reloading. While not a 29, I have a 629 Classic that I really do enjoy. Congratulations on finding the guns for your discerning tastes!

1911 shock buffers I just had to try them for myself. My opinions vary little from what has been said. My conclusion was they were more trouble than they were worth. You should gain your own experience and then see which side you would be on.

Mr. Smith, The marks may have been lightly done. I thought that by locktiting it and then using the center punch may be the best plan. Thanks for your input. Also thanks to the other comments. jed

I have the problem of the pin that secures the link to the barrel is backing out. I have tried blue locktite. However, I have not taken it to the range yet. Is there a better way to secure the pin?? Thanks jed

I have had both guns. Either one is good. The Kimber was tighter than the Springfield and it may have been more accurate than the Springfield. Be certain to follow Kimber's break in procedure for sure. This will get that gun off to a good start. If I had to buy either one again, I...

By the lunch after your shoot it!! It appears a good deal but it could be a jammer.
