I'd say if the Smith is no-lock, get the Smith. That being said I would go with a Ruger over a Smith 686 with that dumb lock.

My main reason for subsonic for home defense for the blast/noise. Same reason I was always advised to use .38+P FBI loads instead of .357 125 loads for home defense.

Thanks for the replies. I know all about the hot stuff from the smaller companies. I will use those for field use. I just want a a good, subsonic load for home defense.

Thanks. I do like the idea of a subsonic load for indoor range and self defense use. These rounds seem similar to the 180 grain Hydra Shock.

Just bought a Glock 20, and they only defensive rounds avaible were the Hornady 200 grain XTP at 1050 fps? Is this a good round for home/self defense?

I didn't mean to start a ruckus, ended up buying a 20 anyway, the grip was just too short on that 29, and similar enough in weight.

Thanks guys. I look forward to breaking her in next pay day, as well taking my CC permit class. While it is large, its no heavier than my old S&W Combat Magnum for backpacking trips. I do love those hot loads, but are those factory sub-sonic loads less loud? I would like to take my CC class with...

Just bought my first Glock last Valentines Day; a Glock 20 in 10mm auto. I will use it to replace my old .357 S&W for camping and self defense. Being Gen3 and not having the SF frame I was warned that it is a big handgun. While I wear large gloves, my hands are not huge yet the gun feels great...

I have been thinking of buying a Glock 29 or 30. I noticed that almost all of them seem to be third gens, with finger groves. But some have the rail and some do not. Is this a custom feature or did Glock add these later in production on third gen 29s and 30s?

Thanks for the tips. And no it is not the internet. I despise finger grooves on combat handgun. Even on my revolvers. Unless they are fitted to my hand ( I have stocky fingers), I find finger grooves to be in the wrong places and make recoil worse. I really want a Glock but I guess I just have...

After some consideration I have decided to buy a Glock 9mm. However after a long time spent looking and feeling different Glock models, I find the older non finger groove models feel the best to me. Most in this form seem to be the 17, but I would love to find a smooth 19 or 26. I take it only...

My old K-frame has one of those old screw in style trigger stops. I remember reading some book back in the day that said to remove them in a defensive firearm. I was wondering if that was true, and if I do can I put it back in later to keep the gun original?

Thanks. I really like the look of the Inox, just want it do be as durable as most SS finish guns. And yes I have looked at PT92, but not a big fan. Prefer the quality and pedigree of the Beretta

Considering buying a 92FS, but cannot decide if I want the standard blue model or the Inox model with wood grips. I notice the Inox now has black controls. Is there any advantage to the Inox model? I have seen some reviews say the finish rubs off.

I am looking to get a small nightstand/purse gun for my grandmother. Was thinking Jetfire but like the .32 as she can handle that but not .38 SPL recoil. My LGS has a P32 for a good price and a 3AT for quite a bit more. Also considering Tomcat. I was wondering if anyone has experience with the...
