    I’m gonna say probably maybe not.
    They won't bring them back. It's a striker fired, high margin, plastic world and most manufacturers today have little regard for history. The P225 in it's original form was a fantastic firearm and I wish that they were still produced true to the original. But if wishes were fishes...

    I have seen where some "in the know" Cool Army Guys have said that a G22 with a KKM comp'd barrel and a red dot is actually a pretty awesome set up, having less subjective recoil than something like a Glock 19 comp'd.

    Agreed. Whether guns, cameras, cars or anything else, manufacturers will make what they think will sell. Can't blame them, really. Except for me and maybe a dozen other guys, few want metal guns or double action guns anymore.

    It's been covered. You get more capacity,lighter recoil and cheaper ammo in 9mm rather than 40. The difference is small enough that the benefits outweigh the small difference between them. If it is 40 vs 45 for me I would choose 40 for the smaller, lighter guns and greater capacity for gun size the 40 offers.

    Yes - Winchester has gotten into the act as well with the Ranger One.

    Any reports on this one? I had a chance to buy some ranger one, but don't know much about it yet.

    Please be gentle, I’m trying to learn.
    One of the common arguments is that magazines *designed* as 8 round mags or 10 round mags are more reliable then mags *designed* as 15-17 round mags neutered to only fit 10 rounds. If you can only buy 10 round (or less) capacity new magazines, then that becomes a concern.

    I was very late to the 9mm party and switched when my department switched. I'd go back to my P220(s) with zero concern. I'll stick with my 17M with equally zero concerns.
    Sorta around sometimes for some of your shitty mod needs.

    If we went down to a 10-round limit, my easy and automatic choice would be the 4.6" M2.0 .45 Auto. Designed for that capacity, accurate as a laser, reliable as all hell, nice and big so it shoots like a compact 9. Good stuff.

    No. Just know the polymer insert is different than the Hornady / G2. it appears to be harder plastic with holes. Win claims the holes allow fluid to pass through the insert and enter the HP cavity aiding expansion, which to me, sounds a lot like the hydra shok....
