I'd like to see the G40 be a departure to something more ergonomic for a wider variety of shooters. Keep the G39 and below as the "classic" line and then going foward make the G40 the new full size .40, the G41 the compact, the G42 the subcompact, the G43 a competition model, the G44 a single...

Because Glocks are notorious "one size fits some" pistols, which is not going to fly in the next GI sidearm trial. Pulling the trigger to field strip is not going to go over well with the Big Army either.

Never in the history of handguns have so many platform specific stoppages been blamed upon the shooter than has happened since Glocks arrived on the scene. The sheer volume of the apologias written to support the erroneous notion that Glocks are, bar none, the most reliable pistols ever made...

A few things: 1) You don't have to spend $2k or more to get a no excuses reliable 1911A1. 2) However, when you spend under $1k, you'd better do your homework and know the design well enough that you understand the trade-offs involved in going "cheap." 3) The further you stray from the...

Pistol grip+fixed butt stock+pump action shotgun=teats on a bull.

Just buy the 20" Mossberg 590A1 and never wonder about it again.

New thread?

Look folks if the P99 were as great as all four dozen of its stateside fans say it is it wouldn't be an obscure pistol that has been through a bunch of trigger system changes and even more marketing designations.:p

That looks like it was hit by shotgun blasts. Was someone poor mouthing handgun skills?

That's not quite the whole story. Grip angle is also a preference. A preference for one angle of grip over another is a completely valid criteria to reject one pistol in favor of another.

What a completely ridiculous statement. No one with any credibility has ever referenced the reliability of a SIG P226 or a Beretta 92FS as defined against a Glock. Might a Glock serve as a referent against other striker fired poly guns? Sure. As the benchmark for ALL autoloading pistols...

I can't believe it is 2011 and people are still trying to convince shooters that the Glock and DA revolvers have common operational principles regarding their triggers. It's insane. Stock Glock trigger pull=~5.0 lbs short stroke pull. Average DA revolver trigger pull=~10.0 lbs on a long...

Any day you can rid yourself of a Glock is a good one.

My ten year old son enjoys shooting mine. He never complains about anything save for running out of ammo. Personally, I find the PF-9 a lot easier to practice with than any snub nosed revolver I have ever owned or tried.

He should sell it to a duck, then the limpwristing would stop. Maybe George preemptively hated the OP and directed a lemon his way via his magic powers. . . .

Just remember, in that post-Apocalyptic novel The Road, the main character ran out of .38 Special and later encountered hundreds of rounds of .45ACP and couldn't make any use of it.;)

To paraphrase The Bard: "What's in a number? A Glock by any other name would still sucketh most hard.

Only 1911A1 pistols from 1923-24 onward.

That's the problem with judging firearms type by their presence in military service, the nature of community property and how no one really cares for it. Had I judged 1911 pistols by the ones I encountered in the Navy, I wouldn't dare own any of its variants today because the rattle traps in...

No one has been able to match the popularity or sales volume of the Big Mac globally either. The Big Mac still sucks as a hamburger for anyone who has more than lowest common denominator standards.
