    Can you reload your revolver faster than a semi?

    Good Day All, While I can't run any weapons platform quite as fast as Jerry, his shooting is not just a NEAT RANGE trick. He is a talented USPSA/IPSC/IDPA competitor and quite the gentleman. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. It may be helpful to have accurate information to base that...

    SP101 trigger compared to GP100 trigger?

    Howdy Txgolfer45, The single action trigger characteristics of both are very similar. There is a very small amount to take-up before the break on each. Rugers are good but conservative. Even with this small amount I find them still very shootable with good accuracy. The double action...

    G20C vs G20

    Howdy Matai, and et al., While I've not done a direct comparison of the G20 and G20c, I can relay my experience with an after market ported barrel. The barrel was 1 inch longer than the stock barrel and had two identical sizeable ports in series. Since it is an easy swap between barrels it...

    Kimber vs. Para

    Howdy There Azhunter122, and et al., Greetings from West of the San Pedro. I just came back from a cool extended weekend up in the great white Northern AZ. I think my family and I have just only thawed out from all the fun up there. Your information request is pretty open ended so I'll...

    1911 for carry 45 or 10mm? Tell me why...

    Howdy Big Boomer, and et al., I've enjoyed shooting my 10mm launcher for many years. The cartridge is pretty versatile in you can have loading from quite mild to very wild. Additionally, in my situation the conversion capability to shoot 10mm short ( a.k.a. 40 SW using a properly chambered...

    Smiley on barrel of new pistol?

    Howdy Redfireftr, and et al., For what it is worth, all of my new in box pistols have all had signs of the actions being cycled. There are a couple of points to consider. First, most major and custom manufactures are inclined to function fire everything they produce. The amount that each...

    Glock 20

    Howdy Fire4hunter, and et al., My G20 is one of my favorite outdoors pistols. When we are out and about in SE AZ that pistol is close at hand. It is one of the handier pistols with the various additional barrels adding quite a bit of versatility. While I don't have both pistols, I can...

    Question about Stiff Loading Glock Mags

    Howdy Smullen and et al., Funny this question came up at our local monthly match on Sunday. I was approached by one of the new shooters who found out I shoot a lot of Glocks. A easy tip for this very issue that I learned long ago from another accomplished shooter was to take any of the...

    Holster Recommendation for Walter P22

    Howdy M4shooter, and et al., Just FYI, I found that my P22 fits rather nicely in the kydex Uncle Mikes holsters for the glock 26. I was goofing about in my garage and happened to notice the similarities in the trigger guard and decided to give it a try with success. I know this is not...

    Beretta 92FS or Glock 19 or 17

    Howdy Magnus1959, and et al., Short answer, any of the three options presented are great. They are all suitable for your “range” gun use. Longer and more detailed answer. Glocks are lighter, even when fully loaded, so that might be a consideration if you're intending additional duties...

    Elite match or G21 for carry???

    Howdy Neviander, and et al., I had a go at your post and decided to put a couple of points out for you to ponder. This is a carry gun so with that statement it is for serious use in both optimal and sub-optimal conditions. My understanding is that you'll be hauling it about and it better...

    thinking about trading my glock 20 for a glock 17?

    Good Day “datruth”, and et al., I have both pistols and enjoy them greatly. I would like to describe another option to consider. The 20 is pretty versatile in that you could purchase a drop in conversion barrel. Since the 10mm and 40sw have the same breach face this conversion works well...

    About ready to flip a coin... (9mm vs .40)

    Good Day Corner Pocket, and et al., Go ahead and flip that coin cause it is going to cost ya! I mean that in a good way. The launcher, the ammo, the accessories, the piece of mind, they all have a value assessed to them. The folks responding to this thread have been on target with most of...

    G34 versus G17 versus XD 5 for range gun!

    Howdy Aedrick, and et al., Merry New Year! Welcome to the forum. Let me also have a go at this thread with some additional considerations for you to ponder. First, all of the three are well built pistols, otherwise sales of them would not be so intense. Each of those would generically...

    Glock 30 - how sweeeeet it is!

    Howdy DHart, and et al., Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays! Just writing in to echo your thoughts on the G30. I find mine to be the pistol that rides with me during trail runs, and other serious occasions. I have also found mine to be very accurate. It was the one that scored on the...

    Glock 17 VS. Sig P226

    Howdy Pablo45, and et al., Wow, what a loaded question. I'm pretty sure there are quite a few more passionate responses pending. I've had the good fortune to have each. Both are fine pistols and have virtues endearing the owner to those attributes. Let me have a go at what I've found with...

    Glock 30

    Howdy Stevek, and et al., Just burning some bandwidth on a Friday night. Saw this thread and just had to chime in. I like all my extreme plastic launchers. My G30 is the oldest of my bunch of glocks. It is also one of my favorite pistols to have when out in the SE AZ deserts. Over...

    need to remove finger notches on my g21sf

    Good Day CA-C54, and et al., I was in a similar situation with my G19. I found that using a course file < wood rasp is a good suggestion > to remove the bulk of the material. Blending was done with a fine file. Minor final finishing was done with sandpaper. Starting off with sandpaper...

    Local Police Dep. can't carry 1911's?

    Howdy All, Interesting thread. Goes to show just where the priorities of some of the law enforcement communities are based on policy and training practices. Here in SE AZ the Cochise County Sheriff's Department carry 1911s in condition one. They have other tools at their discretion too...

    would the g20 or g29 need a stronger spring?

    Howdy Capitolpeak, and et al., My G20 has got a few miles on it, 2.5k+ (quite a bit more if you count all the 40SW through my conversion barrel), stock recoil springs. While I'm not running DT ammo, I principally run factory rounds (180 grs at moderate levels) with a small percentage of...
