In the 1980's I went through in order, S&W 686, S&W 4506, Colt 1911.

The primary reason for change, was learning different actions, DA revolver, TDA auto, single action auto.

They could be close, but the G21 is a much bigger gun than the G17/G22.

The GAP guns were 9mm/.40S&W/.357SIG size guns with a thicker slide. That's what the new Gen 5 .40S&W guns are. Whether...

For the trivia lover, these are the same magazines

I'm a fan of President Trump, but the numbers are not "apples to apples".

Those are 5.4 million TV viewers who watched the Golden Globes on NBC, and 31 million who watched Trump on social media...

For historical purposes, I believe this thread grew out of the "Thumb safety pro/con's" thread (...

I think this is why it took so long for Beretta to mainstream the "G" model guns in the US. There were so many users with military time used to the M9/92FS, that they probably thought a "G" model...

I'm not a fan of creating a bucket of toxic chemicals stored in a makeshift container, especially when there are lots of perfectly safe and effective commercial products available.

I've always considered the slide mounted safeties on the Beretta 92FS and S&W Traditional Double Action (TDA) autos, not as something to be used when carrying, though you could, but as a tool for...

It's tough to get folks to see this.

The hard core striker folks will give you the "this is my safety" stuff, while the adamant manual safety/DA/SA/revolver folks will claim striker fired guns are...

Thanks for the update.

I really appreciate your reference links. I generally remember if an issue happened to you in the past, but finding it to review is so much easier with your links. Thanks....

The Blue Angels fly over my house a couple of times a week (Spring to Fall) - I was amazed watching that F22 maneuver. Wow!

I don't have experience with that type of carry, but I am aware of holster offerings from Ted Blocker and C. Rusty Sherrick with a muzzle forward cant. Here's a thread that may be helpful.

I own neither, so take this for what it's worth - I've been primarily a 1911 shooter since the late 1980's and an active member on a couple of 1911 forums for 10 - 15 years.

I can't speak for Mr. Gomez, but my experience with kydex and leather holsters, is there is about an 1/8" - 1/4" of travel for retention with a kydex holster, after which point, the gun pretty much...

When talking about 8 rounders, it is important to recognize there are three lengths of 8 round, full size, 1911 magazines. I borrow this from a post I made on another forum.

There are all kinds of folks that like and use 10 round single column 1911 mags. I just think of them as novelty items. Heck, I prefer 7 rounders over 8 rounders. The issue to worry about is nose...
