I wish. But there's that argument that pulling the slide back let's it slam home with the "full force" of the spring. You know, because that extra 2-3mm of travel is going to add soooooo much more force. Me, I prefer the speed advantage of the slide release lever. IMHO, If that 2-3mm is more...

C. I think every handgun should move to polymer frames. That's how I'd vote.

I bought a Nighthawk GRP Recon last December. Why? Bragging rights. Among my friends anyway. It was my first 1911. But like others will tell you, the curve that graphs the increase in features & quality hits a plateau when you get past $1000. I might argue that you have up to around $1200 before...

Maybe he meant he had them 15 years ago and doesn't care if they're $20. :)

Here's what I ended up doing when I had the same dilemma last year. I found some shoe boxes at The Container Store (sadly, these boxes don't seem to be on their website) and they're the perfect height for pistol mags. For what they are, they're really kinda expensive. If I remember right, they...

During the Clinton ban, some Walther fans discovered that a Beretta 92 magazine can be used in a P99 with notch work. The catch for each gun is on opposite sides so it didn't affect function in the Beretta. I don't think it was 100% reliable (more like ~99%) so a lot of the folks chiming in were...

Jumping into this late (not sure if the OP made the purchase yet). But I own a USP .45, a P220 Combat and a Glock 21SF. I enjoy shooting all three guns but if it came down to picking one, I'd go with the USP. Reliability, durability, longevity, whatever you wanna call it isn't going to be a...

People like to crap on the P22 a lot. Like any other gun, you're gonna get a share of duds and those who see the problems are the ones that are gonna be vocal about it. I've had my P22 for 8 years now. Never had a single problem with it. It's the only .22 handgun I've kept and one that I'd...

Can you post a source for this? A Google search for "FLETC HK P2000" doesn't turn up much in the first few pages regarding failures or breakages. Telling people to drive somewhere to look is fine and dandy, but not practical considering how large this country is.

Looks like a CZ P-07 Duty. Me want!

This thread really makes me want one with a full length dustcover.

Don't bother with the full-on trigger job. If you pick up the Apex sear, you'll notice an immediate improvement and save a bit of coin/effort. If this is a defensive gun, I'd say not to do much beyond a drop-in part.

This is the first time I've seen a necropost commented on by the original author! In an odd coincidence, I just picked up a P220 Combat today. :D

I wonder if the OP still has the gun, considering it's been 6 years now.

USP. Big, bad, unashamed and all business. About as attractive as an armored truck and just as tough as one.
