I'm not sending anyone to the forum just because.
The idea is to provide actual facts,data, and experience from the actual users and owners of said brand, make,or model, no matter where it resides. It matters not what the brand is. I go where the information can be had from the actual sources.
Useful information and data from actual owners is being provided. It's what I do in part. If I know where that specific information and data is then I bring it from whatever source is needed. Right from the horse's mouth.
The links are for information or research purposes for anyone. Specific gun can mean specific gun forum.
For Springfield XDs I go to their forum and see what data/info can be found and consider it. I'll bring it forth if need be to where ever there has been a query.
For Ruger products I go to the two Ruger forums as well to see what they have on various Ruger models.
For SIG models I go to their forum/s as well.
That's where the majority of owners and users are in a nice tight group.
I also use links from here and other large gun forums if need be.
These are to give the OP or anyone else, info and data to draw some conclusions as well as to educate.
My opinion is not important as the person getting facts,data,and anything to give someone a good rounded education.
If getting that data, info, or other stuff comes from other sources I do not see why that would be a problem to anyone.
There is no one great source for shooting. Even books and printed material have it's place.
As a matter of fact my actual experience can be found in the links provided regardless of the source. Repeating myself over and over seems to be rediculous so why go and add all that is already said?
Information is asked for. Information is given.
