    Great point on the frame size being too short for a light. Which brings up one problem with the G48... couldn't it accommodate a light rail if it was built on a proper frame size? Or would it be too...

    Interesting on the G47. If that was tested hard then the overall design seems fine.

    I’m still of the mindset it’s for cost savings, because if it was 100% as good, why do glock 19/23 size frames...
  3. Thoughts on G48/34/35 Built on Too Small Frame for Cost Savings?

    One of my admittedly emotional triggers is when manufacturers produce something that is suboptimal in the name of cost savings, even if that compromise is only 1% worse. Especially when it comes to...

    I’m not saying MIM is bad. I’m suggesting S&W switched from forged to MIM because it’s cheaper and brings the price down. I don’t think they switched to MIM because it’s functionally better.

    At...

    Haven’t been able to go hands on with either yet, my LGSes don’t have many new revolvers. I’m quoting prices from armslist. I’d hate to bother people into meeting with their used guns if I wasn’t 98%...
  6. Vintage S&W 66 2.5” Snub vs New 66-8 2.75” Snub?

    I’ve been narrowing in on what I want my second revolver to be. My first I picked up recently is a vintage 4” M66. Now I want a snubbie and while I actually want a 3”, I have no desire to pay triple...

    I don’t mean for this to sidetrack your thread but mission drives gear and maybe if your mission is clarified it can make more suitable gear choices.

    Is it wise for unarmed untrained people to...

    ASH556:

    You didn't mention a semi-auto a possibility. I'm curious what led you down the path of J-frame only? I really like my Glock 43 for pocket carry on occasion. It's about the same weight and...

    I'm still new to revolvers. How big of a deal is not having the ejector rod be shrouded like on a M19/66? As a novice, it would seem to me that there's not much weight added for a little extra metal...

    Thanks, John! Oddly it seems they only make it in keymod and all of my stuff is mlok. I don’t have a dog in the mlok vs keymod fight but all my stuff is mlok so I’m inclined to keep things easier and...

    Dang, thanks. The price with the ameriglos is pretty cheap compared to the polymer dovetail protector OEM sight version. I guess I’ll go the sight less route and buy the .125s separately.
  12. Blue Label G48 Ameriglo Fromt Sight Width? 1.25 or 1.4?

    I heard the blue label g48 can come with a Ameriglo bold sights. I’m halfway through the 48 page glock fbi contract sight thread. Anyone know what the width on these factory installed sights are? Not...
  13. M&P 15-22 Handguard Replacement Upgrades Available?

    I saw something on the internet about an adapter you can buy to install on the 15-22 that lets you install any AR handguard you want. For reasons that don't make financial sense, I want to put the...

    I'm very new to the revolver game but in my research it seems like 2.5" barrel 66s in the -1 range with pre-MIM parts and no lock are available in around the $700 range. Assuming that isn't just a...

    Aimpoint PRO Versus More Expensive Aimpoints

    Strictly comparing the Aimpoint PRO to the other models we might buy like T1/T2 or CompM series... what is the difference in durability/functionality? The price seems a lot cheaper and it comes with...

    I actually did the math for this last year. It's not too complex. Basic trigonometry. I was also figuring out how much of the target was covered by my front sight at X distance. I might do it again...

    Handgun Front Sight Thickness and Accuracy

    I enjoy 25 yard offhand handgun shooting. In the past, I struggled with getting a sight picture because I ran tritium trijicons (15 years ago) and they were fairly wide. So not only was I trying to...

    A friend of mine who is knowledgable on revolvers dissuaded me from fixed sight versions. The old J-frame I had had fixed milled in sights and that was one thing I disliked about it. I am considering...

    Multi-part question. I used the collective wisdom of the forum regarding my desire to own "one" do-all revolver and picked up a nice pre-lock pre-MIM S&W 66 with a 4" barrel. My goal behind it was to...

    A friend of mine really likes the trigger on his 19M. Is there a way to replicate that trigger in a 3rd Gen Glock 19?
