    Sidearms & Scatterguns My first pistol: Glock 35

    Re: My first pistol: Glock 35 G35 is a nice glove compartment and nightstand pistol. It is capable of superb performance in USPSA and IDPA matches. Look up Sevigny and Vogel on Youtube. Match ammo for USPSA would be something from Walmart in 180 grain. If you want better, call Atlanta Arms...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns M&P Compact Story and Questions

    Re: M&P Compact Story and Questions 9mm M&Ps are notorious for FTE. Extractor is a POS. And a PITA to replace. There are aftermarket extractors which solve the problem that S&W seems unable to do.

    Suppressors Glock 17 vs. Glock 34

    Re: Glock 17 vs. Glock 34 The best trigger kits are from Charlie Vanek. Or you can buy a 3.5 connector and some reduced power springs and do some polishing and have almost the same thing.

    Suppressors how important is capacity in a handgun to you?

    Re: how important is capacity in a handgun to you? Nothing wrong with lots of ammo. One who carries a high capacity firearm is not necessarily a lousy shot. And one who carries a five or six rounder is not necessarily a cool, collected gunfighter.

    Suppressors Advice on 1911

    Re: Advice on 1911 Colt Series 70 is a wonderful base from which to build a great pistol. I'd decide what you want in a 1911 and get a good smith to do the work on your Series 70.

    Suppressors Down to two--Glock 21 or M&P 45

    Re: Down to two--Glock 21 or M&P 45 M&Ps are not built to be worked on by their owners. Glock can be taken down to the nub and parts replaced easily. M&Ps in 9MM have documented failure to extract problems. Don't know about 45s. If you get the Glock 21SF, get the one with the Glock rail...

    Suppressors on duty side arm

    Re: on duty side arm A glock fired properly and at speed also has "two trigger pulls." After firing, the reset occurs very quickly during the trigger's return. If immediate multiple shots are required, there is no reason to permit the trigger to return to the position of the first shot. This...

    Maggie’s how fast can you change a mag?

    Re: how fast can you change a mag? The skills involved in practical pistol shooting are exactly the same skills required in a gunfight. The tactics are not. The US military sends the units and people most likely to use a pistol in combat to schools and courses that are taught by USPSA...

    Re: XD9 Tactical Didn't like the grip safety. Parts are difficult (impossible) to get from Springfield - unlike Glock parts. Saw a couple of the custom trigger jobs fail/break. Sold mine.

    Suppressors M9 or G34 or G19?

    Re: M9 or G34 or G19? All handguns "leave" the target. The issue is how well and how fast they return after recoil and that is primarily a function of the shooter. A Glock gives the shooter the opportunity to use the quick reset of the trigger to his advantage. 9mm recoil should not be a...

    Favorite 9X19 handgun loads

    Re: Favorite 9X19 handgun loads Vihta Vuori 330 is the most accurate 9mm I have ever used in a 124 HP. 4.8 start to 5.2 to 1.14 oal gets you near 1200 fps at the upper load. Low flash. Zeros for targets and Speer GDHP for other.
