Is there any doctrine on whether volume of fire vs quality of fire have a similar relationship in handguns as they do in long guns?

My first guess would be that going to .40 or .45 from 9mm would...

AFAIK, the only geardo-approved sights available are the Trijicon HDs and Heinie straight-8s.

Oh, I think 10-8 does a trit front, but only a plain black rear so it doesn't count.

Nope.

the 4.1 trigger is also a different LEM hammer with a deeper hammer-catch cut, also called half cock notch, to fit a corresponding longer hammer catch, the result of which is to move the...

The walther P99AS decocker includes a striker block, if it were a bit more ergonomic to actuate I probably would own one.

you read but you do not understand.

The force pushing the hammer forward cannot pull the trigger backward, that's like saying you could float by standing in a bucket and lifting the handle.

"notice the hammer"

If you're pushing the gun into the holster via the thumb on the hammer, there is nothing to notice. That's not how the process works. The hammer is not a trigger-fouling...

your third paragraph does illuminate the situation somewhat.

LEM and DA/SA add more "ifs". If you forget to decock, you must also forget to place the thumb to the hammer because if you place the...

This "hardware solution to a software problem" line gets under my skin. The software is picking the hardware. Someone may just instead use "actuarial future analysis based on human fallibility and...

I think canuckistan has a cottage industry of longer barrels due to similar laws, does oz have a similar long barrel infrastructure?

So firearms instructors are SMEs in ethics? who knew.

The incidence of 1911s with 3.5# triggers is non-trivial.

If those 1911s were all Para LDAs, I don't think there would be too much argument that at least some of those oopsies would have been much...

#1 is break in. #2 is shakedown.

I can understand it, I'm sure S&W is printing a lot of money by taking some of Glock's market share with a 'clone', but I'm disappointed HK isn't moving the game forward in any meaningful way. It...

Not an LEO, not even a hot-shit pistolero.

If you want a safety, you can get the M&P series in full size and compact with a thumb safety. I owned such a pistol (full size .40), and while it was...

doesn't the slide mounted safety's rotating the intermediate 'striker' out of the path of the hammer predate the firing pin block, and maybe the half cock notch as well?

once upon a time it was a...

BaiHu; why is a P320 w/ safety a P30 killer and an M&P w/ safety is not, for you?

I think technology like this will inevitably make a useful addition to self defense armaments, buuuuuut.

As gun owners, we face an antagonistic regulatory environment where potential safety...

The math would be 1 in 50 on any given year, not day. If you hand-wave equal distribution, it would be 1/(50*365) or 1 in 18,250.

I'd say that 9% of the time you need any gun at all, you need 3+...

after he puts the sack on the counter, you can see there is something in his left hand, and then later the cop slides something on the perp's left under the perp's body using cop's foot.

This zimmerman business has interesting timing for me, since I had just finished up watching the first season of "The Killing" as this was turning into news.

Definitely puts my butt into one of...

I know a lot of people recommend FMJ for .380

I may be stepping in it, but if memory serves DocGKR is among them.

was posting while you posted, <3.

to clarify the question:

Are a 4lb gun with a 6lb trigger and a 2lb gun with a 3lb trigger both the same as a 6lb gun with a 9lb trigger?

The ratio is a red herring, IMO.

see sig for...

you're not pushing the gun, you're squeezing it.

I'm not saying the weight of the trigger, and the weight of the gun, are irrelevant. I'm saying their ratio is irrelevant.

correlation,...
