What are these gentemen's names?
I realize my wry quip came off the wrong way. I should have put a smiley face behind it. I was trying to make a joke about old heads versus the young whippersnappers. I apologize if I've offended....
You're not wrong, but that's a retiree perspective. For someone who got out before he had the life squeezed out of him, I can understand that he's still got something to give.
Traditional reserve officers (volunteers) are all but dead here, due to those post requirements, but some larger agencies still have large programs. Some Bay Area agencies retain retirees so they...
Ultradots have always worked well for me, but I've always had them on frame mounts (on pistols) or on rifles. I guess having them on reciprocating slides, like a lot of red dots, causes the...
Thanks. I appreciate the comparison. For the OP, who seems to want a premium pistol for general service, I figured a better choice would be something a bit more modern.
Are there any other...
You've posted a lot of high end pistols over the years. Was the juice worth the squeeze, dollar-for-dollar, on this pistol versus other high end 9mm pistols? I guess using accuracy and shootability...
It sounds like you're looking for an accurized service pistol for general use. If so, getting a B92 built by a serious gunsmith isn't really cheaper than just buying a top end 9mm pistol, like a...
You bring up a tangential point that I've wondered about. My area isn't very active with service pistol shooting, so I'm a little out of the loop. Are people building competition guns on the M17 or...
I partially disagree. With a dot sighted gun, sight radius no longer matters. You are 100% correct with iron sighted guns. I also agree with accepting the wobble with either dots or iron sights.

I have a bullseye built M9 that was supposedly built by USAMU armorer. I think that's likely true because I got it from an active duty LTC who based in DC at the time. Also, the quality of the...
I didn't realize that the package includes the ACRO! I thought it was just milled for the ACRO. That's a very good deal.
I also bought Remington 5 1/2 primers. I was told they were for .30 carbine loads, which are more pressure than pistol cartridges (40,000 psi), but lower than .223 (55,000 psi). I used them in 9mm...
Thank you very much for the input. I may be old school here, but assumption is that a fixed power for a certain price is higher quality than a variable power at the same price point.
My price...
I'm not sure if I should ask this here, or under red dots, but here it is:
I have a Savage 340 bolt action in .30-30. It's a short range hunting rifle. I want to upgrade the current Bushnell...
My agency's transition course was/is 20 hours over 2 days at the range. We were cut loose a bit early each day, so it was probably closer to 18 hours, including an hour each day for lunch. I felt...
Though I went the other way and have a USP, I second Clusterfrack. If your budget is that tight, definitely go with the G20Gen5. The price of holsters, etc are so much cheaper, plus the gen 5 is...
My issues with my S&W .22 revolvers isn't extraction; it's having rounds stick a little when chambering. Also, I don't clean my revolvers very often, but I do carry a bore brush in each of my...
Thanks for the report. I figure that a small gun like that is for carrying, not shooting. I'll hold off for a full size.
My local cop shop has a 4516-1 for sale, but without a magazine, for $300. Should I get it? It’s an average police trade-in, not too scratched up, but with a little rust/chuzz in some of the...
I have two older, blued Model 17s (one a 17 no dash, and a 17-3) and a modern 617 (can't remember the dash). The modern 617 is the way to go.
1) ten shots versus 6
2) the more charge holes...
I had the same concerns with my kids (now 18 and 15). Most cheap .22 lr is TMJ, since the bullets are copper plated, which is better than the exposed lead bases of FMJ bullets. We practiced safe...
Yes, I'm interested in a detailed report, as well.
Why are you considering a Leupold micro DPP versus a 507k or other optic you could have direct milled? It doesn't seem like budget is the...
Also, try using Vihtavuori powders. They're extremely fine grained ball powders, so at small charges they meter better.
