I’m not all too knowledgeable about semi autos so was wondering if this type of thing is common: I field stripped the Springfield XDS in order to clean it (so took mag out then rack the slide to eject the round in the chamber) but instead of the round falling free like it has 100 other times in...

So until recently i’ve Only shoot revolvers and Glocks. Now I am getting into other brands. So I wondered: what is dangerous or bad about carrying it cocked with safety off? I mean: to make a Glock go off it needs a trigger pull of roughly 5.5 pounds. To make the Sig P938 go off it needs its...

I love Glocks and really want a G43 or G26 but my god do they limp wrist way too often. My wrist is slightly injured and if I shoot one handed it jams a lot. I tried 124g hotter ammo and isn’t much help, just a little. Before anyone says revolvers... I can shoot a shield PURPOSELY super weak...

Alright so I’ve been a Glock fanboy forever. I used to think Glocks are superior and more reliable (still somewhat believe the reliability part) and only owned Glocks.. Then I started to have limp wrist issues.. Randomly.. Guess I must be losing grip strength. So I figured I would finally try a...

The XD-S single stack 3.3 inch barrel 9mm VS the new XDS-mod 2 single stack with 3.3 inch barrel in 9mm? The only difference I can see is the grip, and possibly the loaded chamber indicator is different? Otherwise internally I heard it’s exaclty the same? Does anyone know if the mod 2 is...

EDIT oops I posted a thread about limp-wristing the Glock’s a few months ago. Crap. A mod can close this thread if you like, as I don’t want to keep repeating the same thing over. My bad!! I haven’t logged in here for a while and forgot I posted this already months ago =| This is super...

I know this has been talked about a lot. After firing many Glock’s I personally find limp wristing to be unacceptable. In self defense you aren’t going to always have the perfect stance/elblows proper/etc. BUT to avoid that debate.... If I want a Glock 43, 9mm, I would be picking 124 grain...

For me it does. What I don’t understand is how?? I do have small hands and the G43 fits like a glove. While the Glock 19 feels kinda big, but I do have a good grip on it. Still doesn’t feel as good as the G43 does. Also the Glock 26 I feel more recoil firing that (both gen 3 and gen 4)...

Okay I’m confused here as I “jammed” my revolver today at the range, and don’t know how besides maybe I did something wrong. I am not used to the range, so hearing loud shots going off indoors my focus isn’t 100%.. I’m still a rookie. But I grabbed my Ruger LCR, loaded 2 rounds in it (all the...

The factory grip on the Glock 43 is great. Is there any FACTORY Glock extensions that are the same as the Glock 43? Also, even though factory extensions, does adding a baseplate possibly affect reliability? I do not want to affect that one bit. I cannot see to find the exact same G43...

I know some claim the Gen 5’s didn’t change much but internally there is so many changes, even if minor. But tweaking a part, even minorly, can make a drastic difference. Is it still too early to tell if the internal changes are better or worse? It sucks a lot of things aren’t compatible with...

For the life of me I cannot decide! No, I cannot afford both. It’s one of the other. I currently have rented BOTH about 3 Times and still cannot decide Here’s what is making me unable to decide: Glock 42 (380) Pros: The Glock 42 I can shoot very well, it’s such a soft shooter. My accuracy is...

Okay, so today I went shooting to get rid of the "old Ammo" to refresh it with new ammo. I was firing a Glock 19. They where 115 grain Remington 9mm. So empty two mostly loaded mags and fired them, no problem. Even with the mag being a few hours old it's still stiff-ish so it's hard to fully...

I tried to google search it but nothing, they all talk about the frame only.. What if I field strip the Glock, put the frame away, and then using Break Free Powder blast I spray the barrel and slide with it?? I assume that will be okay since there isn't any plastic parts on the slide or barrel...

I've tried to google search this with so many conflicting answer. I'm wondering if the Glock 43 has ANY reliability advantages over the Glock 26, due to the Glock 43 being a single stack. It seems more simple so I've heard some claim it's more reliable, while others claim the opposite the...

Okay, so I've narrowed down my two top choices for a "nightstand" home defense gun. I already have A Glock, and Ruger, but I like them 100% equally, therefore I can't decide which is better to pick as a secondary back-up! From already trying them both out plenty of times, AND from online...

Let me rephrase this question, since some people just don't get it. BTW, this thread is for SELF DEFENSE vs bear, NOT hunting. Hunting a bear with a pistol is stupid, unless you got a .50 cal. Also it's a situation where you DON'T have access to a larger gun, or you simply DIDN'T bring one or...

Edit-- Although I found some answers after detailed searching, still wonder how a POLYMER handgun either a semiauto or revolver would do if made into a truck gun and left for months in the summer heat, 24/7?? (out of direct sunlight) Semiauto such as a GLOCK or Revolver such as RUGER LCR or...

I am trading my Glock 19 (with Trijon night sights so probably worth at least $500 even though its used) I just can't decide what to trade for/what offer is the best. Not sure if this is the right forum or not... HERE is what I want: the most reliable revolver possible! So any advice on what...
