Any of my Springfield XDm's Springfield XDm's Have Always been TOTALLY RELIABLE! The Best to All! Frank

I had been looking for a New .45acp. To make a long story short. I bought my FIRST 1911. It is a Ruger SR1911 with a [5] inch bbl. I am wondering most of all is it DEPENDABLE? Second is it Accurate? Also why is the the Trigger Ventilated? I have owned handguns for 38 years and this is my First...

I have Some Prejudice AGAINST the .40sw I have to admit I own a lot of 9mm and .45acp handguns. I own ONE .40sw. I like the 9mm because with the right Ammo it is an EXCELLENT Defensive Cartridge. Multiple shots are easy, High Cap mags are so easy to get. [I have 20rd extended mags in my two...

Awesome! Bear you did the right thing! I am ex-LE and I will never understand why people melt down good guns.I hate Criminals! I have dealt with the worst kind! [Had a Perp that cut two fingers off a rivals mothers hand after he raped her! Im glad to say he eventually was killed! I have been...

There are mags on Berreta's site also. They are a bit expensive. I got the 20rd extended mag's on the site for 50.00 each. :) Have a Good One! Frank.

I own Two Berreta 92's They are Big, that is for sure. I have small hands, but I have NEVER had trouble shooting them. They are 100% reliable. I like the fact they are Big and Heavy! Recoil is Not an Issue. Making follow up shots and multiple shots MORE ACCURATE. I do prefer guns with less...

G41 Gen4 The New Glock 41 Gen4. The only Glock I own, or really ever wanted to own. It really is a Gem!:) Best to all! Frank

I want something with a barrel length of at least 4.5 inches. I am a person who likes Hi-Cap mags. My current 45's have 13 and 12 RD mags. I have Possibilities but do NOT want to Prejudice any suggestions. [ I should tell you I have a Springfield XDm 4.5 inch and a Taurus 845 which has a 4 inch...

I have two of them! The Glock 17 Gen 4 and the new Glock 41. Would have been the Glock 21 gen 4 but I Love the New Glock 41 Gen 4! The Best to All. Frank

Last two posters-Good Point! I can say the same I have had NO failures of any kind with modern bonded ammo. Some of this can be attributed to using nothing but Modern auto-loaders. I would say we can surmise using quality guns and ammo is the best way to protect from failures. Also keeping...

Bonded I would go with the Federal HST or Winchester Bonded. I believe the HST is probably Bonded anyway. [anyone have info on that?] I was in LE and the Bonded ammo prevents core, jacket separation. Which is something I want even as a civilian now. A lot of people will say it is just to...

Congratulations! Awesome Gun! Make sure you take Santa, [AKA the Wife] to a Nice Dinner soon! God Bless! Frank

Really? You get what you want. Believe me, Shiny, Blue, Red, Green, Pink, or Polka Dot, Is not Going to matter a Frigging Hoot!!! [Pink may be awkward, I know I could not Force myself to get a Pink Grip Gun!!!] But Back to Reality! What really matters is the Caliber and your Choice of...

All My Pistols are Hi-Cap Mags. First off, I spent almost 9 years undercover LE. Never been in a Gun Battle that lasted 2 or 3 rounds. Either I am Trigger Happy [ which is entirely possible! ] or just NOT that Lucky! My HD and Car And Personal defensive Pistols are 9mm, .40 and .45acp. NOT ANY...
