    Debating changing my carry gun philosophy again

    I did the reverse of the OP. I carried a 1911 Commander size Kimber (pro CDP) for years, had a 5" Eclipse for HD. They were great shooters, and yes while they required break in before HP's after break in mine was 100% reliable. What changed it for me was two things. I bought a Glock 19 right...

    Favorite Striker Fired Pistol?

    I run a Glock 19 gen 3 as my main carry, Trijicon night sights, Litghning strike trigger, Titainium guide rod, OS Mag release, slide stop. Shoots like a dream. I use to carry 4" 1911's and the Glock was just something I picked up to have a high cap pistol arround. But I reallized I shot the...

    What is the most overpriced handgun in the market?

    I know I'll get some flack for this and I'm basing this on pre-pandemic pricing. I think the SIG P-226-229, M11 especially the Legion models which were going for $1200 plus were way overpriced. In general, the whole series was consistently over a grand. Too me they don't require near as much...

    Ruger 1911 vs Kimber middle 1911s

    My take having shot both and owned a couple of Kimbers, the Kimbers are tighter out of the box than the Ruger, which means they require more break in and good cleaning. They also have a better trigger. But the advantages of a tighter gun (better long term wear- a better platform if you want to...

    Colt bought by CZ

    There may be a few around, but it's my understanding that Colt quit marketing AR 15s to the civilian market a couple of years ago as a move to curry favor with the anti's . https://www.npr.org/2019/09/20/762640053/colt-suspends-manufacture-of-controversial-ar-15-for-civilian-market

    Colt bought by CZ

    Any chance we see a Colt AR 15 out of this deal? For years the Colt was lusted after by many, but their marketing and production for the civilian market were horrible. While CZ is in the revolver and 1911 game with Dan Wesson, they are are not a player in the Black Rifle market. Just thinking...

    Have any guns used in "The Walking Dead" enhanced any curiosity?

    Ricks Python was cool, I remember one other case when they found a couple of dead cops and used their Glocks to get out of a sticky situation. But for the most part it's been a Joke. I recall Maggies fathers Shotgun that had an extremely high capacity magazine, with an almost endless supply of...

    Glock trigger finger "bite"?

    I shot nothing but Glocks anymore, switched over to a 19 as my main carry over Commander sized 1911's. I just use a glove at the range, have for years. I personally believe it's the re-set in combination with the all be it mild recoil that does it after a period of time. I can shoot a couple of...

    Black rifles prior to 1994

    I also think there's another factor. For years Americas young men have returned from war and purchased the firearms they learned to shoot on for sporting and defense purposes. In many cases they were cheap on the surplus market and effective rifles. Wether it was the 1903 Springfield, M1 Garand...

    Glock 29 or Glock 30?

    I've been told by a couple of smiths who are Glock Armorers that it doesn't partially because most of the aftermarket bbls have full support for the carthridge. Haven't tried it yet myself, looking at the KKM or Storm Lake.

    Glock 29 or Glock 30?

    I have a Glock 30 and am going to order a 10 mm conversion bbl soon. You can kill two birds with one model 30 :D And A big plus is going with an aftermarket bbl allows me to run hard lead rounds with out worry of the issues with lead in Glock OEM bbls. Out west and in AK it will be my 10 mm with...

    DeSantis Infiltrator Air?

    Been using an Alien Gear (knock off of Crossbreed Super Tuck) for carry for my Glock 19 IWB but the idea of a breathable cushioned rear panel instead of a sweaty leather rear panel impresses me. Has anyone here tried one? Would love to get some feedback...

    Which Polymer 45 ACP are you enjoying for target shooting

    I'm a Glock guy, own a 19, 19X and 30sf, the 30sf is a nice shooter for a compact. I use it as my woods gun for Flyfishing in Black Bear country. I've also owned a couple of Kimber 45's back when I was convinced that .45 bigger was better was the only choice for SD. I owned 2 21's including a...

    Glock 21 to 10mm

    I'm looking to convert a Glock 30SF, my understanding from talking to several Glock armorers is that in a vast majority of cases all you need is the BBL and mags. Supposedly the seating in the 10mm chambers is such that the .45 extractor will work. A few people due change the springs but I...

    Your "favorite" semiauto

    I've owned High Powers, Semi Premium 1911's , S & W M & P's and Glocks. I've shot Sig 229's, CZ 75s, and various HK's including a the personal favorite P7. For years I was a 1911 guy convinced by gun porn and the fine shooting qualities of the Kimbers I owned (I know people knock them but mine...

    Kimber Micro9 or SIG 938

    My defective Kimber 1911's (CDP Pro, Eclipse full size) are a lot like Old dog and Bluzman, I should send them back to the factory because they eat anything I've put thru them. I carried a CDP Pro for years and it shot everytime I pulled the trigger. Having said that, if I wanted a 1911...

    Oregon: 20-Year-Old Sues Dick’s Sporting Goods for Refusing to Sell Rifle

    The MI case will be interesting. Because MI has already ruled against Car Rental agencies and adapted a statute purposly aimed at age discrimination by them. The fact of the matter is while a business can refuse to sell to an individual, according to the MI Constitution they can't discriminate...

    S&W M&P versus Glock

    I suspect in long term reliability they will be real close. I will preface by saying I'm a Glock guy, but even then if .40 was my choice I'd look hard at the M & P ecspecially comparing to a pre Gen4 block. In .45 the Glock full size is just too big for my hands, but the compact 30SF fits great...

    Biggest recent flop? I nominate the Sig P250

    I remember selling them at a Big Box gun store a few years ago (PT). They were on sale for $349.99 and great competition for S & W SD9's and Ruger P95's. They weren't a great gun (I'm sorry but the triggers sucked) but they were a Sig, dependable and fairly well put together. Then Sandy Hook...

    Ammo vs Glock???

    TomJ were you running OEM barrels with your 20 and 29 when you had feeding issues? I've been considering buying a conversion barrel for my 30SF to run 10 mm for bear country. It would be a non-Glock rifled barrel, probably Storm Lake. As far as +P I've been running Hornady critical duty 135...
