    Who here has shot an S&W 340PD? (Airweight .357)

    Yes, I have fired one. OUCH. I emptied one cylinder, kindly thanked the owner, and walked away. I have nothing against it, I see the niche it fills. I think it's a wonderful idea, even. But for me it just wasn't what I would personally want to carry.

    S&W Model 60 & Ruger SP101 - Comparison?

    I don't have any experience with the Model 60 but I own several SP101s and my everyday carry is a S&W Model 36-7. My girlfriend carries an SP101 daily and absolutely HATES to fire my Model 36. The recoil, even with standard .38 Special, is enough to make the web of her hand between thumb and...

    So I shot a .44 magnum for the first time yesterday...

    Ah, another convert to the "Clap of Thunder" club. Congratulations and I hope it brings about a long career of buying and shooting .44's. :) I have the Super Blackhawk with a 7 1/2" barrel and find it quite enjoyable to spend a couple of hours at the range and put 100 rounds downrange...

    Glocks and SIG's - your recommendations and why.

    And after I posted this, I saw the previous three posts that said you'd already picked. Good choice, sir, and enjoy!!! DAY LATE AND A DOLLAR SHORT: OK, here is my completely subjective, highly-opinionated, based only on my own personal, limited experience opinion: :uhoh: I jumped on...

    CZ vs. Sig

    Boy, that's a tough call. In the world of autochuckers you've asked me to pick between my two favorite manufacturers. For SIGs I've owned a 229 and still own a 220ST. For CZ I've owned two 75Bs and still own two P01s. For CCW I still mainly carry the P01 because of its light weight and...

    most reliable handgun concealed carry

    Currently I'm carrying a 4" S&W M629 stoked with Federal Classic 240 gr .44 S&W Specials. If I carry a BUG (which isn't very often), it's a Ruger SP101.

    what is a good modern and tactical 9mm semi-auto?

    At the risk of being redundant: 1. CZ-75B 2. CZ PCR 3. CZ P01 MOT

    Poll: Best full size service pistol

    I'm sure the 1911 is going to win. I voted the G17 for the standard reasons (reliability, durability, etc., etc.) but I would've voted P220 if it had been listed.

    Only Ala Dan will care . . . German P220

    As promised, a Memorial Day Sig P220 (2003) vs. Sig P220 (1986) Range Report: Sig P220 (2003) @ 25 yards – all shots rested from sandbags, no failures of any kind. 100-rounds of American Eagle ball – best 5-shot group = 2.5â€. (That’s all I fired from this Sig ‘cause she’s in...

    First true Glock exp.

    Sounds like my first outting with a Glock 21 . . . "Man, this thing is huge and uncomfortable but she sure does shoot nice!" I'm a devoted Glock fan (not one of those "Glocks are IT and nothing else works EVER" types) but I'm pretty much limited to the G17 and the G22 (haven't tried the .357...

    Only Ala Dan will care . . . German P220

    Pictures as promised. Remember, I'm not a photographer nor do I play one on TV. As you can see, it has the American magazine release and the spurred hammer. I am still amazed at the smoothness of the slide, like it was moving on oiled glass. The trigger in SA is very light. Will...

    Only Ala Dan will care . . . German P220

    I'll post some pics tonight when I get back from Bible study . . . thing is three out of four of the husbands at the study are all SIG owners . . . wonder if I could write off this purchase as a church expense? :) Will post a side-by-side comparison of a 2003 vs. 1986 manufactured P220 when...

    Only Ala Dan will care . . . German P220

    Doing my usual Friday afternoon gunshop snooping, I saw a P220 that had some unusual (to me) proof marks on the right side of the frame just above the front of the trigger guard, and three other proofmarks just forward of the frame on the bottom of the slide. I checked some of the other SIGs in...

    no luck at gun show

    dsk, Haven't been to the WAC show in Puyallup for about six years but it sounds like it hasn't changed much. I did some snooping at our new "Sportsmans' Warehouse" that just opened last week in Silverdale and all the high-volume Glocks (9mm, .40, and .45ACP) were present but no long-slide...

    no luck at gun show

    Dang, I may need to move south and east. You can't touch a Glock in my neck of the woods, any Glock, for less than $540.00. Spent some time back east (that means Seattle from where I live) last week and the prices were maybe $50 bucks less on some models but I have yet to see a G37 in real...

    Glock 36 opinions?

    I haven't fired mine much, only about 300 rounds so far. Mine doesn't like the Winchester White Box ammo, had multiple FTF/FTE with it. I switched to using some Federal, PMC, Golden Sabers, etc. (more expensive stuff) and I haven't had a failure since. I found that the short grip caused a...

    G17 Firing Pin Upgrade - Why?

    Let's see, free G17. Not the first owner, maybe not even the third or fourth owner. My local dealer sends it to Glock (won't tell you what he'll charge me to send it but let's just say that he'll be very good to me), I get the slide refinished for $45. So I walk away from the dealer when...

    G17 Firing Pin Upgrade - Why?

    Spoke with Glock this morning. Ship it to them (on me) and they'll do the 6-part firing pin upgrade and slide modification for free. Plus, I'm going to have them refinish the slide for $45. Never dealt with Glock customer service before . . . good guys.

    G17 Firing Pin Upgrade - Why?

    Recently received a very good condition early-2nd Gen G17 that has the non-upgraded internals and the 90-degree ejection port. I've determined from my internet snooping that it is a candidate for the 6-part upgrade (the "firing pin upgrade"). The question I have is, why does it need this...
