Because the viewer is like a guest coming over to your house to take a look at your gun. Maybe you safety checked it before your guest arrived, but to be courteous to them and to have them also know that the gun has been checked before it's being handled and shown off, it's nice to show them...

"Heard that "click" from a SIG in the new movie "Girl with Dragon Tatoo" as she snicks off the safety (by shaking the gun?) towards the end. Very similar to all those Glocks in other movies going "click-click" just before they are shot. That's interesting. I hadn't seen the movie yet, but in...

I just thought I'd get some of your thoughts on my decision. I'm selling my PX4 compact 9mm through my LGS (along with a Crossbreed supertuck holster for it), and as soon as it sells I'm going to be ordering a Walther PPQ 9mm. (I don't have a ton of money to be able to spend on guns; if I...

Walther PPQ

Seems to me that the main issue, instead of polymer vs. steel, should be weight compared to durability and comfort, and picking a gun with the attributes that will work for the purpose you intend. Having said that, I also tend to like polymer more because I don't hate technology. Why should I...

I have the PX4 compact and love it. When they first came out, a batch of them had some bad springs (basically too tight), and the slide would not cycle fully, leading to failure to feeds and stovepipes for a lot of people. Beretta fairly quickly sent out new replacement springs, and my gun has...

This. My question upon reading this was why haven't you fired yet (upon making sure it IS an intruder, that is)?

Check out the PX4 compact. It's a nice size. I like it better than the full-size. Good luck with the Glock. It's unfortunate things like this can be so complicated.

Buy it and do a torture test on it to see if it is as good as newer ones?

I just found out that Beretta did in fact send out a batch of compact models with springs that were just too tight. They apparently are going to be offering free replacements for owners starting tomorrow. This makes me feel better about my px4 compact, and makes me believe that the gun is a...

I think his girlfriend likes you, and plays it off by convincing herself she gets mad at you over the gun and you not responding to her text. But that's an aside. No, it's not funny. Most April Fool's pranks are not. It's the worst "holiday" in existence.

Do what Jaybird78 said. I just bought a px4 compact, and like it for a lot of reasons. But there are definite things on it that I can see as being detractors. Also, some of the compacts (mine included) have had problems shooting low-powder ammo due to a tight dual-recoil spring system. It...

The last picture would have been better if the needle was at 140.

My experience in the news business tells me you are exactly right.

Well that's a little bit mean, isn't it? It's also just slightly illogical, because you are comparing to different things: An accusation of a reporter's possible ignorance about guns when he was there and reports on war and fighting (and that kind of ignorance is avoidable), and an accusation...

Isn't that the subcompact? The compact has a longer grip, and no magazine pinky extension.

I could be wrong, but it appears to me that the reporter was trying to describe automatic gunfire, as he mentioned it was heavy fighting, and these were government forces firing on civilian protesters. If it were semi-automatic fire, why even describe it as "bursts of semi-automatic" fire? I...

I correct those kinds of mistakes whenever I see them, and also do my best to educate reporters and other editors whenever I come across them -- without being overbearing. I enjoy seeing the lights come on when someone learns the differences between semi-automatic and automatic, or when they...

I work in the news industry, and I often read stories that betray a reporter's ignorance when it comes to firearms. I just came across this paragraph from an Associated Press story about violence today in Syria: "Bursts of semi-automatic gunfire"? I also regularly find reporters write or...

Unfortunate story reported in my area: Looks like he had a round in the chamber and pulled the trigger while trying to take the slide off, and had it pointed at his face.
