I strongly agree. Troubleshooting gear is a distraction from shooting. Given how long factory mags last and how inexpensive they are when on sale, I can't justify buying non-Glock mags anymore.

I really want to test drive a Miata. My wife said I could buy any car we could afford as long as I was able to pick both kids up from school, so I bought a BRZ last June. Having the BRZ has...
Thanks for the update! I'm at 850 rounds now, and I bought a AIWB holster from Tier 1. I've not cleaned of lubed the pistol since the first round fired. I've put 115, 124, and 147 grain ammo...
My PX4s are compacts and my 92s are full size, so take my comment for the very little it's worth, but I would go with the PX4 compacts over a compact 92. I shoot mostly Glocks, but the PX4c is a...
I have a Ruger MkII 22/45 and a Glock 44. I've got way more rounds through the 30 year old Ruger than the relatively new Glock 44, but I really like both of them. My G44 is not suppressor ready and...
I'm dragging this thread up just for the sake of completeness. I registered for the class that hand been scheduled for this week, but the class was unfortunately canceled because it failed to make...
If the OP has all the 5.56 capability he needs and budget is not a constraint, I don't see much argument against getting an AR-10 pattern rifle. The worst case scenario is that you get some...
This is a good suggestion. My standard protocol for new non-Glocks is to clean and lube the pistol prior to first shooting and to run a box or two of 124 gr NATO rounds through it. Having said...
I vote G43. I can pocket carry mine with the right pants. However, the pistol becomes unpleasant to shoot after about 100 rounds. It's rare that I shoot more then 50 rounds per range session with...
I was really enamored with the original Caracal pistols when they initially came out in ~2011 or 2012. The importer at that time was in TN and sponsored a match a Oak Ridge. I lived in Nashville at...
That's for posting those links. I'd not seen either before.
I put 200 more rounds through the Archon today. I shot 115 gr New Republic, made in Hungary, purchased from Target Sports. This is some of the dirtiest brass-cased ammo I've come across. The...
I left work early enough to make it to the range today. Overall, I like the Archon. I lubed the pistol before I shot it, and the gun didn't have any problems over the course of 200 rounds. The...
I have the fiber optic front sight. I think this is actually the first pistol I've had with a fiber optic front sight. These sights are much finer than the Ameriglo Agent/Bold sights on my Glocks. ...
I have medium hands, and fortunately my dominant hand doesn't contact the mag at all when I have a firing grip on the gun. Having said that, I can certainly see how it could be a problem for people...
My pistol arrived today, and I was able to get away at lunch to pick it up. My impressions after just handling it and some dry fire are very positive. It sit really low in my hand, and indexes...
I'm a long time G26 owner. I bought a 43x and sold it after 150 rounds, so for me the G26 is better. Having said that, I would like to try the 43X again. Can you rent or borrow a 43x? I drop all...
My 26.3 is about 15 years old now and still has its original factory tritium sights. I've been thinking of replacing them. I will get Ameriglo Bold (square notch) or Agent (U notch) sights. I have...
And now this pistol has been removed from my to buy list because I just ordered one. KYGunCo has them for about $750 (free shipping), which is cheaper than I could have gotten it on Gunbroker. I...
I'll add to the chorus of identical second pistol or 22LR close copy.
I own a bunch of Glocks and a Gen1 APX Centurion/Compact. I prefer the Glocks, but I also really like the APX. I'm still under 1K rounds on mine, but so far so good. I haven't experienced anything...
I've used 3x5 note cards for years. A year or two ago, I found roles of 3x5 stickers on Amazon, after reading a comment by Tom Givens about stickers. Stickers are the way to go. I put green 2"...
A month or two ago, I shot my stock P30 LEM alongside a P30 LEM that came from LTT. I was super impressed with the LTT trigger. If anyone has the opportunity to put rounds through a LTT gun, I...
I've used Breakfree CLP since the early 90s and have been pleased. I switched to WeaponShield for a while and liked it a lot. I've used Liberty Gun Lube some as well. I believe it is owned by a...
I want to be a good PF enabler, so I will point out that these pistols are down to about $750 on Gunbroker now. This pistol is very close to the top of my "to buy" list now.
