    I’m sure they have a really great reason that I’m just not capable of understanding the greatness of for placing the mag in the opposite orientation of pretty much every decent mag pouch out there.

    I received my G48 MOS back from Glock last week. There were no notes that specified what work, if any, was performed; there was a packing list which suggested they replaced my RSA and firing pin...

    My pre-MIM era 442 has a dramatically better trigger. There’s just no way around that. I do not know what was done with geometry and...

    My 442UC is in hand. I’ll likely get a 432 if these become a regular production item; for now, logistics is hard to overcome and I consolidated all of my other revolvers to .38/.357.

    I sent an email to tech support today which I assume will result in them asking to see the gun.

    I’m at 4 FTRBs in less than 1,000 rounds.

    I asked my FFL to do whatever it is he does to order one from Lipsey’s.

    I also emailed VZ Grips. Unfortunately, no plans to offer the grips separately at this time, which is a shame.

    I would jump all over a .32 caliber J frame loaded with Lost River wadcutters. The sixth round gives a bit of extra comfort. One would have to be a reloader to support it, however - but then again,...
