Yeah, the P6 makes me smile. It doesn't really have any "superpowers" when it comes to shooting characteristics... but... it does shoot well. Especially with the hammer strut update and fresh sights....

P230s/P232s are cool. I had an all-stainless P230 and two blued alloy P230s--one of which was actually Japanese police overrun in .32. Kinda wish I still had that puppy.
Still, I personally prefer...
Hahaha.
Cash is tight. And I just bought a DA/SA slide + guts for my DAO Beretta Cougar—which was nearly as much. Sigh.
That's a good overview of the strut/seat/mainspring situation.
If one has an older Sig, I'll say that upgrading to a newer mainspring assembly makes a big difference in the DA pull. I yanked the...
There's an FN 1910 sitting in my LGS's case for $350. It's got some patina. But it's also $350. I kinda want it.
Most of what I hear is that post-war HScs weren’t reliable… including .32s and .380s… but the wartime ones were good. Granted, I have no experience with HScs of any vintage or the Ortgies. But I did...
About the same size as my 5' 3" wife. I dunno. It was like genetics was drunk that day and mixed things up with the sister I never had.
Anyway...
Trigger reach is always a "thing" for me. And...
Geez. It's a hammer-rich environment. Now, of course... I must obsess over determining which one is "better."
Thanks for the tip, though.
No issues.
I cleaned and lubed it after my 2/28 range trip. Put about 100 rounds through it. Didn't clean it or relube it, sat for 2 weeks... then 60+ rounds. Didn't clean or relube it, sat for...
Gotcha. I appreciate the input. Looks like LTT and Beretta are out of stock, at the moment. But I’ll grab one when they’re available again. Seems worth $45 to see if it’s worth $45.
Recent reading has revealed that the LTT Match Hammer does more than just look cool—it actually enhances performance. I already have the OP trigger bar in my PX4… dig it. Wondering if I’ve been...
I've owned two 92Cs and a PX4C. Still have the PX4C. Don't have the 92Cs.
That's not to say the 92Cs weren't solid guns. But, as other have said... I personally feel the 92 offers optimal...
What’s interesting is that Sig still uses the short extractors on P220s. Do we think they’re using machined steel for those (I doubt they are). Or are they just kinda looking the other way and hoping...
That's cool. I use Ameriglo fronts on my old-school Sigs, too. I've been leaving the factory rear and just blacking it out. Gives you a nice "front dot only" sight picture. Have my P229, P239, P6 and...
Yeah, I'm curious to see what HK ends up giving us with their micro 9. If it has the VP9 trigger (which I'm 99% sure it will) it's probably a no-go for me. Unless they offer a safety.
The PPS...
Bless you, sir. :cool:
Thanks so much, my friend! Appreciate the kind words. Hopefully you find the content entertaining... and informative.
This link references an article from 2012 about Navy SEALs carrying the PPS:...
If you're looking at a G43 don't forget about the Walther PPS (M1 or M2). Very nice shooters. And everything I've gleaned suggests they're durable and reliable. I don't exactly use my guns hard, but...
I'd say the PX4 Compact. Effortless accuracy with an exceedingly plush, pillowy recoil impulse. It's dreamy.
But if G19s and P-01s are too bulky for you (and, I agree--they are), the PX4c...
On paper... I think it's hard to make strong case for a 9mm P229 these days. For reasons many have already mentioned.
But stats on paper aren't what make us love and connect with handguns.
...
I'm necessarily saying they don't suck... but... ProMags seem to work fine in my Walther P5 and my Beretta Cougar. But, when Mec-Gar is an option, there's really no need to roll the dice on ProMags.
Nice! Thanks for sharing. Some of your impressions match mine—definitely agree with “flat but not soft.” I mean, it’s not like the recoil is in any way unpleasant. But it recoils toward you, not up…...
The current Bodyguard is a hammer-fired true DAO pistol. This looks... more striker-y. But maybe not?
The current BG also uses a MIM barrel. Wonder if that'll continue?
I just saw your reply.
I like your logic. I can't disagree. I hope whatever version of this we get retains the safety.
Awesome. Yeah, curious to hear your perspective on how it shoots. As a point of contrast... I don't shoot Glocks at all, and I really like the Archon. Feels natural and intuitive. Though, initially,...
