I have no experience with Walther so no comment there. I have a p232. Mine is 100% reliable, no failure of any kind ever. It is larger than some guns now available, yet its slim profile makes it so easy to conceal. It takes down easily, but is a nuisance to clean due to its peculiar...

I think the OP will find the answer to his question in the list below from Indiana Code. See 9 (a) & (b). Sec. 2. (a) Notwithstanding any other law and except as provided in subsection (b), a person may not adopt or enforce an ordinance, a resolution, a policy, or a rule that: (1)...

Best wishes on your new Mil Spec. Mine purchased within the last year has an insanely heavey trigger pull and has FTF problems. I hope yours is better.

Lots of people love the p232. Of all the handguns in my collection, the p232 is the one about which I am most conflicted. I dislike some things about it as much as I like other things. On the positive side, it is a very nice looking gun. It conceals exceptionally well due to its flat...

It will serve your great grandchildren.

I'll believe they are back when I can walk into a gun shop and find a Colt laying in the case that has the recoil spring tunnel and dust cover drilled on-center. This has been such a common problem for a long time that Colt should be embarassed about their inability to manufacture a...

If you decide to take a gun, take one that is most easily replaced and you have less of an emotional attachement to. For example, I wouldn't take a favorite, out-of-production gun. I'd leave the Kimber series I at home and also the no-lock S & W revolver. I'd take a Glock. Easily replaced...

My last purchase was in January, a Springfield stainless Mil-Spec. One can't have too many 1911s.

Seeing the screen name of the OP, I'm guessing college student. "Saving up" for a more expensive gun is a valid concept for many of us. May not be for a college kid? There are pricier colleges than Purdue, but it ain't cheap. Besides Tuition, housing, & books, there's pizza and beer to...

I have a Sig p232 and a S&W Model 60. I call it a draw. The snubbie will never conceal as well as the auto because of the size of a revolver cylinder vs. a narrow slide. Round count goes to the auto. I have more confidence in stopping power with the revolver, particularly if loaded...

Not your business. Let it go. There are some situations to give up on a friend, this isn't one. I once gave up on a friend with whom I had shared several hunting experiences. I didn't like how he handled his gun in the field. I thought it was a safety issue, and the person most likely...

I don't do it. Guns are either under my direct control or in safe stoage. A car trunk is not safe storage. There is too great of a chance of having a gun stolen, and putting a firearm in the wrong hands.

I don't own a series II, but am a big Kimber fan based upon my experiece with a Kimber Compact, series I. I own quite a few fire arms, and if I had to liquidate for some reason, the Kimber would be the last to ever leave my collection. The trigger is crisp and breaks like glass. The gun is...

Of the two guns you've listed, I'd take the G19. Mine is utterly reliable. It is light to carry, although chunky to conceal. I don't have experience with the 226, per se. My one Sig is DA/SA. If that is the only choice for a 226, I'd most definitely go with the Glock and a consistent...

I use lead away cloth. Does a nice job easily. It's for stainless only, however. Not to be used on a blued gun.
