If you get the chance I suggest you try the H&K USP Compact in 9mm. The high capacity mags are 13 rounds for the compact USP. I like the feel of the H&K USP Compact in my hand. It feels like the grip area is smaller in diameter than the Glock 19 grip. I also like the way the H&K USP Compact...

The NYPD will likely continue to use the 9mm for a while simply on the basis of cost. To re-arm the entire NYPD with new handguns, holsters, and ammo would cost a small fortune! Some bureaucratic "bean counter" probably holds all the cards when it comes to decisions that could make a...

MikeNice, I'm not familiar with a particular case of over penetration. I merely brought up the point because it had not been discussed to this point on the thread. I believe the fear of over penetration by the 9mm was a factor in ammunition selection and contributed to the negative outcome of...

Winchester 1300 Defender with 7+1 capacity and 18" barrel. I put an ATN Ultra Sight red dot on top of an Aimtech saddle mount. I installed a Blackhawk recoil reducing Knoxx Stock which shortened the length of pull making it much easier to navigate through doorways. (I love the recoil reducing...

One point that has not been addressed in this thread is the liability of over-penetration by the 9mm round. Over-penetration is considered a huge liability for law enforcement. Each officer is responsible for all rounds leaving his or her weapon. In America, the law enforcement community is held...

The Glock has a loyal following for quite a number of good reasons, all of which have been mentioned in earlier posts. Glocks are great guns, I have several and would consider getting more if I felt the need. I completely trust Glock to protect me and the family. As for a salesman "pushing"...

As per the original post, we can all see the .22 caliber bullets penetrated the metal cylinder and would certainly do the same to a bad guy. No question about it! If poking holes in an object/bad guy is your only objective it would be effectively achieved. Stopping a determined aggressive...

If I had to carry all my own gear an M4 & Glock 17 to keep weight down. If I had support to carry the load I would switch to a .308 platform (AR style) to add power and distance to the rifle and step up to a Glock 22 handgun.

Yes, if not on my person then very close at hand at all times when in the home. If outside the home, yes, at all times. As for the follow up question from jiminhobesound, yes, willing and able, no doubt about it!

Originally posted by Weevil: I wonder how much of the 9mm hate is due to it being Un-American? I'm not sure there is any Un-American bias in regards to the 9mm caliber. Following that logic the law enforcement community would only use American made firearms. That would exclude the Glock...

Remodel a portion of the house to create an ultimate "Man Cave" as a place for your new gun safe and all of your new tactical accessory gear to compliment the completed gun collection. You can decorate your "Man Cave" with pics of you attending all the latest and greatest training classes and...

There are a lot of right answers on this thread spread out over many posts! Here's my take on the topic: Gun battles are won or lost based on shot placement, regardless of caliber. A firearms instructor once told the class I was in that stopping a bad guy is all about blood loss. The...

Factory Glock Accessories seem the best to me. I like the Glock Extended Mag Release and the Glock Extended Slide Release. If you can find a Glock 3.5 lb. Trigger Connector that would help for your competition shooting (not recommended for defense purposes though). The way I look at it, if it...

The Mossberg 930 line of auto loaders falls in to your price category. They have plenty of options and barrel lengths to choose from and should fit your needs as described in the original post. I don't have any personal experience with Mossberg auto loaders but I may pick up the 930 SPX one...

I had a problem with steel cased rounds in my AR-15 years ago: Failure to extract empty cases from the chamber. I had to use a cleaning rod to force the empty cases out. This happened multiple times. :what: I don't know exactly what caused the problem but I only using brass now. No more steel...

I know if I were a gun collector and some badge-wearing thugs stuffed all of my guns into garbage cans for "safe keeping" I would be freakin' outraged! :fire: :fire: :fire: :fire: :fire: :fire...

Very nice set up! Congrats!!!!

I keep a lot more 9mm around than any other caliber. I decided a long time ago to make the 9mm my "go to" caliber for many reasons. 9mm is a very popular and affordable caliber which can be purchased in bulk at very reasonable prices (at least it used to be affordable). The 9mm is used on every...

I joined the U. S. Army fresh out of high school. I qualified expert in basic training with the M-16. Not too much rifle work since then other than some occasional recreational target shooting. I'm more of a shotgun fan these days.

The Glock 19 is a great gun. I wouldn't part with it unless absolutely necessary. The Kel Tec P3AT and Ruger LCP are great "pocket" pistols which would work well for concealment in warmer weather. The caliber is .380 for those guns. A co-worker of mine just picked up a Kel Tec P3AT for...
