    FMJ for Self Defense?

    Well, if considering the two rounds for personal civilian defensive use only, then I'd pick the 230 grain .45 ACP FMJ due to it's better ability to penetrate straighter thru bone instead of being deflected by it ... and, in doing so, will actually lose enough energy to not be as much of a threat...

    3rd gen glock 23 with light attached

    The best chance for the setup to work will be with strong mag and recoil springs...and I'd recommend checking function with whatever ammo you intend to use it with or at least an equivalent reload....may help to invest in an aftermarket recoil spring and guide rod so you can use a 20 lb recoil...

    3rd gen glock 23 with light attached

    You've got the right mag springs for light attachment use so as long as they aren't weak you should be good to go...

    3rd gen glock 23 with light attached

    The compact pistol's magazines are suppose to use springs with 9 coils. The full size pistols are suppose to use an 11 coil mag spring when using a light attached. These are for full capacity magazines. I would designate a mag (or two) with a new spring that was to be used for defensive...

    Glock Selection for HD & Carry

    Well CTGunner, you say that the 19 feels the most comfortable in your hand and you shoot it as well as any of the others but you mostly shoot the 17 at the range and use the 26 for carry even though it's not the most comfortable your hand - I guess that would go for the 27 as well...and you...

    G17 Failure

    MtnCreek, You're right...they'll go thru it and replace everything necessary for free...of course, the gas to get there will cost ya, but if you got the time and would like to see the place, it'd be interesting and they'll probably give you some Glock Goodies as well...I'm gonna make the trip...

    Kimber problem

    Does this model have an external extractor? If so (and even if it's an internal) it may need cleaning...there could be some crud preventing it from opening as it should to slip around the rim...followed by mag springs or maybe just a good mag cleaning...and then maybe a recoil spring...best I...

    Which auto pistol would you pick?

    Well, in the polymer frame line the Glock takes the cake, if the 19 fits your hand, it's the one to go with...with you mentioning jeans and t-shirt wear, I take it that will mean sweat and Glocks only require minimal maintenance, and it's edges are rounded which aids in comfortable carry as...

    G17 Failure

    That's one of the good things about your Glock, it will still function even with a broken part ... and it only cost a dollar or so to fix! ... scratch that, call Glock and they might just send you another for free!...yep.

    Costs: Hi-Power vs 1911

    guyfromohio, I don't think your experience is the norm at all...the only problem I've ever experienced with a BHP was from some faulty underpowered ammunition (win white box). I've got 2 at present and including them, have owned 2 new, 2 imported old military, and 1 other used one and all...

    How Many Carry a 1911 with FMJ Ammo?

    Those loads sound awfully stout...are any of those loads controllable for fast followup shots? ... especially if shooting one handed? ...

    Costs: Hi-Power vs 1911

    Yep, I don't like it either...but there ain't no where near the demand for BHP parts as there are for 1911 parts....look at all the 1911 makers and parts sellers...more competition = lower prices. On the bright side, BHP factory parts are tough and rarely need replacing and there are a few...

    Kimber Custom II vs. Ruger SR1911

    I own several Kimbers, pre series II .45s and series II 9mms....If I didn't have the pre series IIs .45s and I were shopping today, I'd go for the Ruger....and for a best bang for the buck deal look at RIA's ... I've got an officer's size model that replaced a Kimber Ultra Eclipse...and I...

    Light Laser combo for G17

    Yep, Wanderling, I was taught the same when I went thru the academy...good maneuver when walking in the open searching for a bad guy that may be armed... Glock has a laser light combo that you can set to work with one or the other or both when you activate it...got one on my G17 that sets by...

    How Many Carry a 1911 with FMJ Ammo?

    "9mm FMJ does more damage than .45 ACP FMJ according to the gel test I posted a bit back. It matters more with .45 ACP than 9mm." ...but remember that is just gel...the heavier bullets (.45s) fair better when there are bones in the mix... ...lots of "issues" that can come into play with...

    How Many Carry a 1911 with FMJ Ammo?

    KodiakBeer - you're right for hunting, since a .357 usually comes from a revolver and at much greater speed so that a hollow point can be of use...but that's a different deal from an auto loading heavy slow bullet to be used for defensive purposes...of course, it's shot placement with adequate...

    How Many Carry a 1911 with FMJ Ammo?

    Thank you Lone Gunman...this is the type of info I had referred to earlier and what ammo buyers really need to be aware of...again, no ammunition manufacturer will guarantee their hollow points to expand - it all depends on the mediums that they encounter and those can vary immensely...nothing...
