I recall a story about someone chastising Gary Moore for modifying one of his Bursts, and Gary growling in reply, "I'm not collecting the fucking thing, I'm playing it!"

My G44 has been totally reliable, nearing 1000 rounds. I have yet to clean it, just keep it lubed. Ammo has been CCI Mini Mag exclusively.
Or...mark the older mags with a Sharpie and reserve them for practice. :)
Good move! I bought my primary G42 in 2019, and subsequently got a second one from a co-worker in trade for some garage gym gear. I've never seen a hint of a malfunction from either one, with about...

I haven't seen it; sounds possibly interesting, but I only turn on my TV about twice a month, so...
Regarding this, I'm curious: whom do they depict as doing the fighting? State Guard troops?...
This. :D
I was an armorer on a large PD for two decades. When contacting a gunmaker's CS, I make sure to speak fluent armorer (without haughtily throwing my credentials around), and things always...
As mentioned above: for 124 gr, .165 front/.256 rear will hit to the top of the post, or .180 front if you like using the dot. I put Ameriglos on all my Glocks.
This, absolutely. A skilled shooter can make anything work. It's nerdy fun to discuss the esoteric details of various pistols, but none of that spells success or failure.
I've tried a whole lot of pocket holsters. These are my favorite:

As for the draw, it really shouldn't be slower than a J-frame, if your...
Testing looks good.. Federal has done a fine job in general with this line.
Recoil is mild in an Airweight J. (130 @ 830 fps, compared with 135 @ 870 with Gold Dot, for example.)
What a fat, sloppy buffoon.
This is purely an unverified anecdote, but...when I came on the job in 1993, we were told of an OIS in the 80s: foot beat cop with the 200 gr RNL shot a suspect square in the forehead. It was a "one...
The G30 used to come with a flush 9-rd mag and the extended 10-rd...but the 9-rounder was really 8, because it was a feat of strength to get the 9th in there (and when you did, the mag wouldn't...
For what it's worth, our PD range had a recent lot (or lots) of Lawman 124 with occasional underpowered cartridges -- not full blown squibs, but clearly softer, with some attendant malfunctions....

The 4" guns will indeed have 3 vents on the rib, for "aesthetic" reasons. I'm kind of ambivalent on it, really; doesn't look bad, just different...
My .357 LCR runs consistently 30+ fps faster than my .38 J frames with .38 +P fodder. Gold Dot 135 clocks just under 900 fps with the LCR, and is quite mild to shoot (by my standards). This is why I...
That's a good one!
I'd like to see Colt do an aluminum frame Cobra with a spurless hammer and tritium front.
We had one as a T&E from Beretta around 2009-10, when we were looking at new duty guns. It had some good qualities, but folks were looking for a shuttle bus to get from the backstrap to the...
.32 H&R ballistics from a 2" barrel are far from impressive...more of a compromise than I'm willing to make for one more in the cylinder.
Interesting. If this proves able to reach 12" of gel consistently, with a little bit of expansion, it will be a winner.
Been holding off on buying one, for various reasons, but this is the 1301 I need.
You're one of my people, I see... While I've fixed many ailing mags for the PD, when it comes to my use I own so many that I tend to just mark them with a sharpie and toss them into a practice bin --...
Yep, I think the 180 gr .40 loads are significantly milder to shoot than the hotter 155-165 loads. 180 Gold Dot also worked immensely well for us.
The G30 is ridiculously easy to shoot well.
Over a decade ago I ran a little experiment to compare G19 vs. G23 vs. G30, all with department duty loads (Gold Dot 124+P, 180, 230). Pretty much a...
