I found it easy to replace the rear sight in my Springfield ... after the gunsmith removed the factory sight with a drill press.

Has anybody encountered (other than at SHOT Show) the new Inglis HPs by SDS Imports?

Sig P290RS; why the trigger was 50% heavier than the P250's remains a mystery unless Sig thought the pistol would be pocket carried without a holster.

The trend in recent years for mid-size .380 pistols has been toward reduced perceived recoil and reduced racking force and the gas piston system contributes to both.

M2 refers to the second model of the CCP, largely based on changes in takedown and striker removal. The original CCP required a separate tool to release the striker and field strip the gun. The M2 has a button on the back of the slide that releases the striker. Besides differences at the back...

$250 is a small price to pay to make a wife happy. The money's already been spent, so don't waste any goodwill it bought by continuing to complain.

How many replacements parts do you carry out in the desert and way up in the mountains?

What you are missing is what many striker-fired guns are missing, which are features beyond the minimum necessary for a functional firearm. Glocks and others have a simple manual of arms that make them ideal for introducing new shooters to guns, but you are well beyond that stage. The majority...

If you only have the two magazines that probably came with a pistol, you are distinctly in the minority, although how many more magazines you should get is still unclear. :)

The Ruger LC9/LC9s/EC9s is slightly smaller in length, height, and width, several ounces lighter, and with the same capacity compared to the original S&W Shield. From what I read on many forums, people have not abandoned their original Shields en masse, so I suspect a fair number of Ruger...

Here are the ASF models on the Tisas website: 45 ACP (UPC 723551444191) and 9mm (UPC 723551444207). Here are the ASF models listed on the gun.deals website: 45 ACP and 9mm. The number of dealer offerings seem typical for new models from manufacturers like Tisas.

I do not know whether the OP would have any interest, but Beretta sells a 22LR conversion kit that works incredibly well on my 92A1. Having the exact same trigger for both 9mm and 22LR practice is very nice.

The EZ has a height of 5.00" while the S-380 has a height of 5.01" with either the 10-round pinkie extension magazine or the 15-round extended magazine. The S-380 has a height of 4.35" with the 10-round magazine and flat base plate. You can't make the EZ shorter, but you can make the S-380 longer.
