M&P 2.0 is def superior in most regards, if you have decided to head that way. Otherwise, it's the Ruger hands down. Both are robust, solid, reliable, fun to shoot HOWEVER the SD series is famous for a nasty trigger. 8# like dragging a cinder block over a gravel driveway. With stoning and a...

Well that's nice though. The longslides/tactical/competition come with it too.

All good things. Well done. I would still look into lighter disconnector, no weaker springs, but a lighter pull.

I have the same front sight I have had good results using grease or vaseline, very thinly over the slide and screw as a release agent and applying a TINY ammount of JB weld on the sight to fill in the hole. After the JB is set, I remove the screw, degrease, apply a TINY amount of locktite and...

I'll agree with this, however I loathe most of the after market junk people do to them. My Glocks are absolutely as smooth as any Kahr and shorter pull, with the factory springs, trigger bar, etc the only parts I replaced I replaced are the over-travel adjustment for the trigger housing...

Grip safeties have always been maligned. When the 1911 was the new fangled contraption on the block, it became common for the safety to be riveted, brazed, or otherwise permanently fixed in the depressed/deactivated position. Nowadays the larger beavertail style safety has alleviated most...

It's been a couple of years since I had one apart, so I can't point out specific components. Besides the softer springs, all of the components seems smaller or lighter weight than similar 380s. I understand why. I have no doubt they will server their target market very well, but they just don't...

I am inclined to agree. They seemed under built.

From the comments here, I should get my hands on one again and experiment a bit.

Good point on their oil. It's like mineral oil. We had to wipe down all of the Remington long guns with CLP as soon as they were handled or they would begin to rust.

I was somewhat aware of the history of the design. I still don't like it. At very least, I would have to see a review of one fired at the correct angle for the pin to fall out, for 2-3 magazines full, without issue. If such a review already exists, I will retract my statements in full and give...

Over all I found them to be superb. HOWEVER, our shop had a selection of 5 or so that were among the first available. Nothing whatsoever retained the takedown pin when it was aligned with the hole in the slide. I was able to take each and every one, turn them 90 degrees, and ease the slide...

Having taken one apart, I am wary. It's a bit complex for my taste. But don't let that alone stop you. The Sig 238 is similar in cocking, much simpler and more robust otherwise, but it is $500 and up.

Another endorsement for the Lucky Gunner test from here. I would also beg anyone looking at 380 +p to look at buffalo bore with barnes copper solids. The expansion and penetration is on par with most 9mms given sub compact lengths. The heavier nines outstretch on penetration, but it has plenty...

My turn? Ok! Let me beat this dead horse too! With nitride (my choice over chrome), if you shoot exclusively steel case ammo (very hard on the barrel) your barrel life will be a little less than 10,000 rounds before you see poor groupings. With brass case, copper jacketed ammo, you'll likely...

The G1s were among the taurus lawsuit and recall. Essentially the material and deaign of the sear were weak and would wear so that the sear would drop the striker when the slide slammed home. A full auto subcompact isn't as fun as it sounds. It's a wonder no one was killed. However, that's...

Taurus QC and longevity may be questionable, but when the PT111g2s were really hot, we sold hundreds a year, probably approaching half of our new guns sold. Even half of the staff got one. One of the guys really put his through its paces, lots of ammo, no cleaning. He was thrilled. Almost...

I am not sure of the precise meaning of "like this" even as obviously snide as the rest of the comment may be, but I think it should be even more obvious that everyone, but especially shooters and fisherman, pass along their anecdotes for what their personal experience may be worth, no more, no...

I was the guy behind the counter. These women told their stories to me, and I bought their PX4s and sold them 9mms. Believe what you want, but there is more to recoil than just mass and spring especially crossing calibers.

The Gander Mountain Local to me would offload these .40 PX4 subcompacts to women, new shooters, who liked the look and feel. The shop I was working at at the time bought more than one after the very first range trip. They reported absolutely brutal recoil and their husbands didn't even want...
