Why are single stack 9mm only 8 rds & not 10? If you layed 8-45 rds on a table like they where stacked in a mag then you put 10-9mm stacked next to the 8-45 rds. wouldn't they be the same lenght? I put my Glock 17 hi-cap on a table then put 10-9mm rds stacked next to it. Both where the same...

What happened to the US pistol makers? I own no pistols made in the US. When it comes to pistols I hear more about Glock, Sig, HK, Walther, Beretta, & CZ. Than US makers S&W, Ruger, Colt, & others. Others are mostly 1911 clones Kimber, Springfield Arms, & Par Ordinance. It looks like the US...

I don't like how I shoot my Glock 17. So I bought a HK USP 9 c. Now the shoot out begins. Goal on a bottle type target put all rds in 3"X3" box at COM at 21 ft. Test put bottle target at 21 ft. With HK (SA) from low ready bring to target, with Glock draw from holster. Fire 2 rds COM. Ammo...

I know the fullsize is longer than the compact. I know they both use different mags. Are the grip widths & trigger reach the same? Either would be carried SA C&L.

What is bore axis? How can I tell if the bore axis is high or low on a pistol?

Between a Glock-17 w/ a 3.5 # trigger & A HK USP c 9 shot SAO (single action only). Which has a lighter trigger? Which trigger is easyer to use? This is not which is a better pistol question.

I've heard that I should test fire a pistol before buying it. To do this either I need a range that can rent the pistol or know someone that owns that pistol. But what if range doesn't have or I don't know someone who has the pistol. The only thing I can think of is handling the pistol in a gun...

I'm looking for a used S&W M10 heavy barrel that's rated for +P ammo. How do I know if a S&W M10 heavy barrel is rated for +P ammo, by looking at it? I did a search & found that if it has 3 screws but not all 3 screws. Or made 84 or newer. The suggestion was to call S&W. If I'm at a gunshow on...

I have a S&W M65 revolver. I don't like the heavy trigger pull. What do I tell the smithy? I want the action smoothed out & the trigger pull reduced to what? The current trigger pull is 12#? The lowest a smithy can go is 8#? How much will this cost?

I've wondered what gunsmiths can do. Reduce trigger weight on revolver & or DAO pistol? On a DA/SA pistol that has a safety/decocker where putting on the safety decockes the pistol. Can the decocker be disconnected so the pistol can safely be carried SA "cocked & locked"?

I understand this is a DAO with a quick action trigger. What does a quick action trigger mean? How manny #s is the trigger pull? Is there an extended paddle style mag catch made & extended slide stop made? Can the trigger weight be lightened? I need to replace my Glock-17 w/ a 3.5 # trigger...
