How else should have I interpreted your post with things like : "The US Military is not necessarily to best folks to go by for handguns." and "And the folks who set the firearm as contract award criteria are NOT firearms people." It certainly was not an sterling endorsement of the...

cfullgraf, Good points all. I don't really have a counter point, but rather some things to consider. A manual safety does not have to be used. A S&W M&P or SIG M18/M17 has a manual safety that can be used or not used. There are two times when a manual safety is invaluable. One is running...

So your assertion is that the military are idiots, when it comes to purchasing pistols they are buying something they a) don't need, b) don't really want or c) have no earthly use for d) and are too stupid to know otherwise. I can assure you that I've carried a pistol in military combat...

Or are they? Why not have a manual safety on a Glock, or a Sig (Wait Sig does have them, as does S&W) or whatever polymer wonder pistola you carry. Except Glock of course, cause Gaston won't let you have a choice, right?? If you don't need them, then why does the US Military buy them in the...

Does your classic 1911 ride with you in your classic Model T Ford when to go pickup some beer at your local stop and rob?? I mean who needs another modern car or truck?? :rofl:

Correct, there's yet been any updates on the G30S past Gen 3.

Chief, The USCG didn't quite have the budget or the vast procurement system that the USN had. We never even had a pair of Big Eyes for use on the bridge, until we chopped over to USN Control when deployed to Vietnam. We could then use the vast USN procurement system, which brought many...

My story has nothing to do with firearms in the US Military, but it does have to do with spanner wrenches mounted on firehose reel platforms that are all around the decks of a ship. Back in 1972, my ship a USCG 378ft High Endurance Cutter, got a GOA audit. One the items listed as discrepancy...

How about some facts instead of insults, Bro. I'm not implying radians is a linear unit of measurement, I'm apply Miliradian's as they are intended to be used in conjunction with linear values. My illustrations were not silliness, but an explanation of how the Milliradian concept can be...

Not so. A Mil is one, one thousand of any measurement. So a Mil is: 1 inch at a 1,000 inches, 1 meter at a 1,000 meters, 1 yard at a 1,000 yards, 1 cubit at 1,000 cubits, 1 furlong at a 1,000 furlongs and so on. Another fallacy is your instance that 1 MOA is the same as 1". No it's not...

The biggest reason to take Mil based scopes has nothing to do with math, ease of use of a 10 based # system, or metrics vs imperial measurements. But it does have a bunch to do with how scopes are constructed. Take two scopes, both with say a common 100 spline turrets. On a 0.1 Mil (0.36" per...

300 Blackout Handloaded with either 110 grain Hornady VMax for GP use or the Hornady 110 grain GMX for repelling borders.

Stock photo of my 10 round 45 ACP. I've the identical pistol right down to the NIBone finish. It's a Glock G30S by the way. Height with the extended mag as shown is 4.80". Height of Colt Commander is 5.7" with an 8 round mag. The Glock G30S is almost a full inch shorter and holds 2 round more...

A 10 round single stack 45 ACP or 10mm magazine (that could hold 12 rounds) would make the pistols height about 6.5" tall. Or about an inch taller (sights to butt) than the current tall G20 & G21 with 15 and 13 round magazines respectively. One only has to look at the size of a Sig P220 10...
