    I'd likely opt for an XD or M&P over a Glock. Where does the M&P fit into your rating system among the three brands? Do you have an opinion on XD vs XDm?

    What do you think of the LCP II's SAO trigger with only a tigger tab "safety." I understand the trigger pull is 6 lb. I've never seen the configuration before.

    Wow! The man who accused me of using an ad hominem uses yet another ad hominem. Social justice warriors always project. I acknowledged a positive correlation between poverty and crime. The FBI data, which the New Century Foundation used, shows that racial demography is positively correlated...

    There is no question that, from a terminal ballistics perspective, a 9 Luger beats a .380 Auto, but I have peripheral neuropathy which manifests as a weak grip. I find myself dropping pens and similar tools. I've not dropped a gun, but I figure I'm best off with less recoil. I'd be pleased...

    I have an aversion to DA triggers. My four compact carry pistols are all DA/SA, but I've yet to fire any of them in DA. From practicing with my laser target, I know my SA groups are half as wide (four-times better) than my DA groups. With the price of ammo I can't afford warning or fouling...

    I gave you links to two websites that describe Haidt's Moral Foundations Theory. You might want to read them before commenting further. I offered no ad hominem, but you certainly did by implying I'm using fascist methods. Haidt, by the way, is a liberal Jew, not that has or should have...

    Yes, there is a positive, albeit weak, correlation between poverty and crime, but there is a strong positive correlation between racial demography and crime: In fact, racial demography explains five times as much as does the poverty rate. The single explanation for differences seen in all...

    You can learn more about Moral Foundations Theory here: http://moralfoundations.org or here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_foundations_theory. An internet search should yield some pdfs of articles Haidt has published, or at least abstracts of such articles. The point of me...

    Sam1911, Knowledge is always useful, even if it is disturbing. I'm a new member, but I doubt anyone here would propose using race as a basis for gun control. In fact, I think one could argue that the progressives have acted on these data in a racist manner: Americans of non-European ancestry...

    Packman, I searched "chicago color of crime" and the first thing that popped up was: http://www.occidentaldissent.com/2011/06/15/the-color-of-crime-chicago/ There is no more detail, but there is a link to the Chicago Police Department's 2009 Annual Report. Unfortunately, the link is...

    I must be the only guy who doesn't own an LCP. I do need a pocket pistol, and the new LCP II looks good. But, I'd prefer a Beretta Tomcat. Unfortunately, they seem rare, even though I understand Beretta is making them again. I the smaller caliber for less recoil in a tiny gun, and I also...

    We need to counter the antis with concise graphics. People believe pictures more than they do words, perhaps because looking at a picture is easier than reading. For example, this graphic proves a related point made by Jackal in #7 above, at least for Chicago in 2009: For Jackal's purpose...
