My prediction is that 30 will go the way of the 45 gap, 41AE, 357 Max, 327, 356 TSW, 9x23, 38 supercomp, 38 super, 41 mag, 38S&W, 44-40, 400 corbon, 9x21, 9x25, 32acp, etc, etc. The gun industry is...

Absolutely 100% agree. I am amazed at the number of "gun guys" who have never cleaned their mags, nor even knew they should clean them, nor even know how to clean them. I have seen so many magazine...
I don't know how to edit my post. I do need to make one correction. It was the smith who out shot the RR, not the shooter.

Based on my experience and observations, I don’t think a dirty pistol barrel affects accuracy. There are barrel manufacturers who support this position. After almost 30 years of competition shooting,...

Interesting. I wonder who will be buying these pistols.
Cheers, Steve
The more I think about this, the more I think I’ll pass. I have been shooting glocks for years. This includes competition, training, drills and plinking. Perhaps I’m just comfortable with the Glock...
Irons for me. Guess I am an old dog. Been shooting pistols for over 45 years. Been a competition shooter for 25 plus years. USPSA limited. Have numerous CCW and practice guns all with the same...
I think the jury is still out. Normally, I would have already ordered, but for some reason I’m a bit hesitant. I think I’m going to sit on the sidelines for a bit and see how this plays out.

I think the answer is, it all depends on your goal. If this is for ccw, forget it. There are much better alternatives. If for competition or fun range days, go for it.
The major issues I see with...
Jogged me. Colt officers model front sight went flying somewhere. Smith replaced it. Hated that gun.

Here are a few pictures of a Glock slide breach face that is cracked. These are pictures I took and I was holding the slide.

I guess after shooting for more than 50 years, I have seen too many gun malfunctions to even know where to start. I’ll try.

Ever since my experience with 3rd gen S&W, I consider slide mounted safeties to be ass backwards. Same when I carried a walther PPK/S as a backup. I am much more in tune with a frame mounted safety...
In loading and shooting Glock 17’s for over 30 years, I have not witnessed nor been able to load 18 rounds. This includes shooting USPSA where we were loading mags over and over. The caveat is that I...
Some of the worst gun handling I’ve seen happens at ccw qualifying. I finally gave up. I now rent the complete range that one of the local ccw qualified instructors owns. I rent it for the day and do...
George, I assume you were talking about the Havasu range. I don’t recall if you were shooting IPSC there when the following happened. We were shooting the regular third Saturday ipsc match. We finish...

My first question is what role does this gun play? Duty, ccw, home defense or safe queen for the range only? If only a range gun then you can experiment with different setups. I have 3 gen 5’s and...
Interesting. Thanks for the info. I never knew anything about the above, but will change my rendition. It was just something I have said for years. I wish I could remember if it was something I read...

It would appear we each must decide on our own salvation. For me, it is a glock 17 or 19 with extra mags. I prefer to be the last guy to run out of bullets if the SHTF. In my experience, I have had...
I recently watched a video where Bill Wilson talked about the 10mm in a 1911 platform. He indicated that they were problematic. If I remember he said that more 10mm guns came back for warranty issues...
I prefer the Vickers mag release. It is slightly extended with the edges rounded.

I had a few. I carried a 469 for a year. I was never impressed with them and the slide mounted safety. I shot with some CHP guys when they had them. They constantly had reliability issues. My cousin...
I did a hybrid. Had a Glock 45 non mos. Got a 19 mos. Put a trijicon sro on the 19 slide and swapped slides. Hence 45 lower with 19 upper.
