I guess it was very unclear since obviously, I have failed in my attempt to add a little humor/levity to the thread, and you seem to have taken my comment very literally/seriously and as a criticism of semis. Of course I know the semi has both the capacity and reload advantage over a revolver...

We were both shooting factory ammo straight out of boxes and without any accessories such as Uplulas, loading trays, or speed loaders, and I never said anything about interim clean-ups. Also, we weren’t in a race to dump as as much lead down range as possible. My apologies if I was unclear...

Reminds me of this one time at the range - a guy in the next booth asks me why I like shooting revolvers. I tell him that I shoot them more accurately, and that they are faster/easier to reload. He says, “what are you talking about? semis have more capacity to start with, and a mag swap takes...

Love/hate relationship with my 317 bought early this year. Serious jam-o-matic out of the box. Sent it back..... twice.... to get it to an ‘Ammo sensitive’ status. IMHO, the extractor star is a poor fit in the cylinder which causes a small unsupported gap. Thinner walled 22 shells will then...

Wow, that’s scary... guess I stick with: I don’t even like the internal hammer on the 642 J-frame, and instead own the shrouded hammer 638 and 649 humpbacks, partially because I cannot cannot visually or tactilely verify hammer-down, but mostly because I can ride an exposed hammer with a thumb...

Appreciate the recommendations guys... trying to keep with new/in-production models. Looks like the Beretta PX4 DAO only comes full size; the SW 3914DAO seems to be a limited NYPD model; and the Sig 290RS (which would be perfect for it’s size and 9mm) also seems discontinued. Back to the...

Handguns Magazine review of the 320 mentioned: The problem with modern pistols is, what constitutes ‘DAO’ these days? MOST modern semis use partially-tensioned strikers and hammers (which technically are ‘DAO’) for lighter/quicker/consistent triggers, and perhaps law enforcement contract...

Yeah, Magpul it - take advantage of what it is, you'll probably get frustrated trying to turn it into what it's not.

hehe..;)

638 of those three, but the 649 is my favorite handgun, period. The shrouded hammer is the split between the 642 and 637. No snag draw and shoot from inside jacket pocket advantage of the 642, yet single action accuracy and thumb-riding-hammer reholstering safety of the 637 (very important to...

Ruger is making a few guns that appeal to me and that I want to buy - this PCC is one of them. But that'll have to wait for my last Ruger to 'break in' and become reliable first.

I got one after seeing the Magpul Backpacker stock - love the idea of the compact, one piece, survival rifle that stows mags, Ammo and a cleaning kit inside the stock. I like riding motorcycles/bicycles to my gun club and this allows me to take a rifle in my backpack or saddle bags. Accuracy...

Hope you are right that it is a simple break-in thing, after 1200 rounds the malfunction frequency is indeed reducing. Guess it's just that I've never experienced a malfunction from any of my other firearms, all purchased new and in stock form (half are semis)... except for one, and it's my...

Got a new 10/22 that's been a bit disappointing with its malfunctions.... wondered if Ruger might have been able to lick that problem with a bolt action.... perhaps not. https://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/2018/3/8/tested-ruger-precision-rimfire-rifle/

Beautiful classics guys. Mine's a late model 649, but it's my favorite carry gun (also have the 638).
