    30 & 29 & 27 & 36

    Who owns 2 or more of those Glocks? What are your thoughts comparing one to the other? They're all comparable in several ways, mostly I consider them all-purpose and legitimately concealable, but not comfortable. I have a G27, but I'm looking for an excuse to buy a G30sf, maybe use it as a...

    I have a new G21 I have not shot yet...

    Partly because I think it might not be the right gun, or ammo. The G35 has caught my attention as a possible nightstand candidate. I figure I might get more back out of the 21 unfired. For awhile now I've been thinking that 40 may actually better 45, plus the capacity increase. Does anyone...

    Import regs for autos?

    I've read that there is no single stack 9mm from Glock because of the Gun Control Act of 1968, which has a points system that they cant get a smaller gun through. As it is I cant figure out how the G26/27 manages to get 75 points? (Anyone have the details on how the 26/27 adds up?) Since the...

    When to replace a 1911 with a Glock?

    Some might say Blasphemy! Never! I kinda think the same thing too, but I've got reasons for this insanity: I need a dedicated nightstand pistol to be kept in one of those Gunvault box things. I'm house poor and baby broke already, the 1911 will fund the Glock 21. (insulting isnt it) I want a...

    40 and 45

    Most of the caliber comparison threads are between the 40S&W & 9mm - it makes sense, they even go through some of the exact same pistols. But what about 40S&W & 45ACP? There are many threads comparing the Glock 22 to the Glock 21, but they usually focus on the pistols, not the cartridge. I've...

    To defend a stranger?

    My state says we can use deadly force if: Considering all of the possible negative consequences of justifiably shooting someone, would you defend a total stranger from attack with a deadly weapon? With my luck I'd save a pedophile by shooting the victim's raging father.

    Missouri Retreat laws?

    Theres been quite a bit of chatter on the subject lately, along with a few updates to MO's statues. I figure I better brush up on it? Can someone spell it out or point me to a decent plain English web link? Thanks.

    Shot shells for pistols?

    Do we have any good shot shell options for 380 or 9mm yet? Any of them feed decently, or is it mostly hand fed one at a time? Ideally I'd like to get some to run thru my LCP. I've been thinking about picking up a cheap little 38 snub for Missouri woods walking, but I'd rather not if I can get...

    Ammo pricing - supply & demand, or something else?

    What am I missing with regard to ammo pricing as it relates to the rules of supply and demand? When we saw 45ACP climb to $30 for a box of bulk it made sense... the shelves were empty and we love that round, the price hike made sense. What is the reason for bulk 380 costing the same as 45ACP...

    XMm 45? G21sf or ??

    For awhile now I've been eyeballing the Glock 21sf as the pistol I'd like to add a light/lazer to and keep it in the nightstand gun safe. I've always admired the quality and well executed design of Glocks. I didnt like the last one I looked at. It seemed bowed with a odd slide-to-frame fit. On...

    GAP frames and slides

    I just noticed that the G39 seems to be the same basic gun as the G26/27/33. The GAP and the ACP have about the same ballistics, right? Aside from the G36, all of the 45ACP's run the thicker 1.28" slide, is that for recoil absorption or just thicker for capacity?

    Reholstering Safetyless DAO's

    Lately I've come across several people commenting on their worries about carrying a DAO with no safety. Personally I think they're great - no chance of it going off unless the trigger is pulled - the spring energy to fire the round simply is not there. There is only one concern I have with...

    Rimfire Scope?

    I have a 7.5" Buckmark Hunter that I'd like to put a 1 inch 4x scope on and I'm looking for suggestions. I think I'll use Leupold Quick Release 1" Weaver mounts so that I can swap between the Fastfire for plinking and the scope for long distance stuff. This in matt black is along the lines of...

    Selling a gun in another state

    I live in ST Louis Mo, can I drive to IL and sell my gun to someone who lives there as a face-to-face sale? Any requirements on my end?

    G36 & 10mm

    Is anyone making a 10mm barrel (and spring?) conversion for the G36? Seems like it would be a win-win conversion - More round(s), same or better power, especially useful for outdoor and wilderness carry.

    Rechambering SD loads after practice?

    {{{{Well... I came up with the question after reading a recent thread on a G23 kaboom and didnt find Sturmgewehre's thread with the video prior to starting this one. So disregard if you wish.}}}} After proofing my SD rounds in my ccw's, I practice with WallyWorld Federal FMJ and rechamber the...

    Pocket Pepper Spray

    I'm looking for something similar to the ASP Palm Defender that has pocket clip so that I can carry it clipped in my left front pocket like a pocket knife. Any suggestions?

    New PM9 slide

    Alright, so arguably its the top of the pile of 6+1 9mm guns available, but what is the deal with the nasty sharp corner(s) on the muzzle end of the slide? Mine is a black diamond slide and I'm giving serious thought to Dremel'ing the obnoxious corners off of this thing.. What are my refinish...

    Kahr's Black Coating?

    Is it any good? I was going to go buy a new PM9 today and they just sold the last stainless one, but they have the black. I like the looks of it, but wonder about its durablity?
