The SIG 365 is very good at what it is intended for. A very compact and concealable 9m.m. pistol with a high capacity magazine. It is well made, well designed and has many nice features. BUT, I find it hard to shoot with standard pressure 9m.m. ammo and use the HORNADY Lite 100 grain jhp in...

Back in the 1990's, I worked for the INS and when we transitioned to the BERETTA 96D Brigadier pistol, we were issued a total of 6 magazines with each gun. It may seem like a lot, but if you carried 1 in the gun and 2 spares, you wanted to unload those magazines every one in a while and use the...

My experience with the S&W 547 has been less than stellar. I have had one for about 35 years. It does work (MOST OF THE TIME). I have had the extractor override the case rims a few times, so I think it was a good idea, but not good enough to bet your life one. I my experience with auto cartridge...

I probably do not need anymore handguns, but I am going to get a few more. 1. BERETTA 92X Compact LLT from LANGDON TACTICAL. They upgrade the already very nice 92X Compact to exactly what I want to carry. 2. RUGER Match Champion .357 revolver. I already have a GP-100, but the rough trigger is...

My experience with TAURUS is a mixed bag. Their revolvers seem to be well thought out, but some have rough triggers. I bought a model 85 snubnose for my Dad as a present and he preferred my CHARTER ARMS Undercover. So we traded and I thought the model 85 was fine., I sold it when I decided I...

If I went with a full size gun, it would be the BERETTA. I simply shoot them better. I have a BERETTA 96 on layaway right now and plan to order a LANGDON 92X Compact this summer. After that, I will send my M9A3 to WILSON for a tune-up. If the LEGION were a 229, then I would go with that, I much...

NO ADVANTAGE IN NO SIGHTS! Just two points on this, several years ago, while qualifying, the firearms instructor gathered us and said that too many people did not know how to hold their issue gun correctly. He then produced a GLOCK 19 which had the sights removed. He said we would each shoot...

.357 For me, it is a matter of what I believe works and can confirm that belief, not bullet weight. My usual home SD and carry load for my 9m.m. pistols is FEDERAL HST 124 grain. If they had 115 grain, I would consider that. I do not believe in using the 147 grain load, although my agency is...

CHARTER ARMS revolvers all have the same problem, in my experience and I have owned a few and shot others. My family has about 6 of them. The action is gritty and needs a trigger job. Back in the 1970's, my borther and I and many of our associates bought CHARTER ARMS Undercover's and a few of...

I have owned a SPEED SIX, a SERVICE SIX and 4 SECURITY SIX's. All were good, but some better than others. My Speed Six had a trigger job and it was the best shooting snub nose I owned. I also stopped in a gun shop on the way to the range one day and was looking at a used COLT Official Police...

I think are both reliable and good guns, but, but the S&W is still in production, so accessories and parts are more likely to be available. Also, my 586 and 681 have terrific triggers, both the result of talented gunsmiths. While the new COLT Python does not seem to need trigger work, the old...

I had one. It was a good pistol, but kicked more than my full size BERETTA 96D Brigadier or my BERETTA 96D Vertec. Both are larger pistols, so no surprise. Also, the BERETTA'S had better triggers. On the positive side, the 229 is a reliable, proven gun that is in the mid size range that can be...

SImple, I base my opinion on HST on two things. One is the results of testing. You can check LUCKY GUNNER AMMO LABS as they have tested a lot of round in controlled conditions. That is good for comparisons. Another way is by what agencies buy. The agency that I work for, usually bought what...

My first choice would be FEDERAL 124 grain HST in my 9m.m. pistols. I also carry 180 grain HST in my .40 S&W guns. As a cheap alternative, I also shoot SIG 115 grain jhp. I have been able to buy 500 rounds at good prices and this has replaced the REMINGTON 115 grain jhp that I used to buy in...

a5, I think you are looking at this from a completely wrong perspective. What do you want to do with this gun. Derringers are poor choices for almost anything. They usually have a poor grip shape, have only two shots which may shoot to different point of aim, are very slow to reload (no...

In reality, if it was my first handgun, I would leave the store and look someplace else. I almost bought an old COLT Police Positive in .38 S&W about 40 plus years ago, but ammo was scarce even then. I have bought a .38 S&W ALBION which was issued by the BRITISH Army during WW II, but that was...

When I buy at a store, it us usually ACADEMY Sports. On line, where I buy most of my ammo, I start with AMMO SEEK and also check GUN BROKER.. It has worked out well for me so far. Jim

My experience has been different from the original post. Any gun made has the potential for a lemon, so that is a risk. I have one 92X and several 96Brigdier pistols. All have been as reliable as he BERETTA reputation would make you expect and more accurate than most 9m.m. or .40 S&W pistols...

I would vote for neither! I have not shot the .30 Super Carry, but the published ballistics equal the 9m.m., so recoil will be the same. I have shot the .30 Luger and the reduction in recoil is small. When the .30 Super Carry came out, I was curios and read several articles about it. For me...

FLAT, My 2 cents is to go to a gun shop and try the trigger (if they will let you) and dry fire some pistols and see how they feel in you hand. Grip size and shape can be quite different from on pistol to the next. Once you find a gun you like the feel of and how the trigger feels, then see if...
