How is the recoil on the subcompact .40? Please put it in terms of how much more more felt recoil there is compared to the subcompact 9mm. What do you guys think? Thanks :confused:

Good info Mahnmut! :)

Hey guys, Anyone know anything more about the px4 ultra-compact then what is on the baretta site? This looks like a really cool gun and I am eager to learn more about it. Speak up if you know anything more about the release date etc...

I agree with Telecaster1981...those types of second hand comments are annoying and all to common. They have their place, but have no real weight or substance to back them up. Those two SWAT members have their opinion, but how do you rationalize their comments with the NYPD who use Speer GD...

"With todays advances in bullet technology, it is almost impossible to find a good round for calibers 9mm through 45acp." I think he meant it is almost impossible to find a NOT good round for calibers 9mm through 45acp. I would also agree with this. When I got into this debate several years...

I was also looking at the Pt145, however, I was concerned about .45ACP rounds not having enough time to accelerate in the short 3inch barrel. 45 powder is a slow burning powder and needs more barrel length to get up to speed. Has anyone found that a shorter barrel is a huge detriment to...

This is absurd. A human skull can not withstand the impact of a 9mm. It must have bounced off something first and hit a glancing blow. This is simple physics, the momentum produced by a 9mm round is vastly greater then a human skull can take without breaking. This is silly!

Hey guys, I am leaning towards using 147gr. +P ammo from my 3inch XD 9mm. The rounds would be coming out of the barrel at around 1050fps. (this would be double-tap ammo) From my research I have found that the modern 147gr. round performs very well in gelatin tests. Combine that with...

The advantage of +P is that the bullet is moving faster and thus has the potential for greater expansion. If you look at the data, the +P 124 Gold Dot will expand slightly more then the standard pressure. You also get a hair more penetration. All in all, there is little difference and it...

You are right, IF the 357 mag round and the 9mm round are the same...then there would be no problem. However, I do not know the answer. I have asked this question before...with no answer.

Agreed, a keltec p11 is the ideal platform to use a DT 9mm cartridge out of. Im sure the recoil is nasty though. And you are right, the gold dot does have a wide tolerance, but still fragments. The added velocity reduces effectiveness according to gel tests done at stoppingpower.net

Come on guys...lets use some common sense. Yes, DT ammo is good in terms of not exploding your gun. However, if you are aware of bullet ballistics, then DT is not a good choice in some situations. the 115 gr. 9mm round that DT makes travels at over 1400fps. This is well above Speers velocity...

"easily the g26 is the better subcompact" That statement makes no sense. Both are great guns, its just a matter pf preferance.

Yeah, I know what you guys mean about the traffic! So what do you guys carry, assuming you carry, in the summer heat in NC? I am going to get my ccw and I want to get a pistol to match this weather...what are your thoughts? thanks.

What is wrong with Stratford Road? By the way, I went to the Golden Coral! Wow, good place, good food.

Im close to the Hanes Mall, by Forsyth Medical Center on Country Club Road and I moved from Seattle, WA. Thanks for the info. Ill have to check those shops out. Have you guys taken the required class for CCW? What is that like? I checked the gun rack address...they are only 15 miles...

Hey guys, I just moved to winston salem, NC. Does anyone know of some good gun stores with a large selection? I am mostly interested in hand guns. thanks.

Is this gun too thick and heavy for CCW? How would it compare to say a Springfield XDsc?

Gunblast.com has an excellent article and video about the new Taurus 1911...check it out!

Hey guys, I have a Taurus 24/7 and the front sight flew off. How can I get a new one or what replacement sights work for that gun. Thanks.
