I own the CW40 and have use to own the CW9 and would think either would be a fine choice. Here are my takes on the CW40 since it's what I am most familiar with. Pros: - Size- the pistol is narrow and can be comfortably carried in a wide variety of holsters and positions. It nearly...

My guess is more than likely no barrel swap was performed, but then again...you never know I have seen weirder things. Ruger produced GP100's with the 4" barrel and the fixed sights. Their more common 4" model does sport the adjustable sights, and larger grips. With the smaller grips, they...

This is excellent advice for anyone in a similar housing situation. When I was in college we lived in a large complex that had open attic space that would allow access to all the condos on the 2nd level. One afternoon, an apartment of young ladies arrived home and went upstairs to find the...

OH DEAR! I sure hope the picture looks worse than it does in person. I would hope he has offered to replace the slide, or do something to make that right. I would be in a rage.

I am sorry, that is heartbreaking to lose not only a piece of history, but something that was so personal to you and your father. I get nauseated just watching Pawn Stars seeing what heirlooms are hawked by the owners children for some cash. Yes they are the legitimate owners of the item, and...

I rarely find what I am looking for in my local shops, and when I do, it has a tendency to be far over priced. I have gotten accustomed to purchasing online and using my local FFL for their fantastic $10 transfers. I'm a huge supporter of buying local, but there is a point of absurdity when...

I'm sure there are complaints out there, but you rarely just casually run into someone who has had a problem with Bud's. Personally, they have been professional and timely, and I have no problem recommending them. I don't know if your FFL's beef is price competition or a personal horror story...

Beautiful work! You could have said they were your 202nd and 203rd made, and I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference. You sure have a talent for it.

This is appalling! Do they plan to next train their police and military forces in laser tag arenas? There is going overboard, and then there is this.

Man, if he is a good friend I would give him at least another $400. They easily fetch $1000 online at Gunbroker. If he is just one of those acquaintances that we all use the loose word "friend" to describe, then take it for $300 and run.

A little longer So thinking that it was divine intervention or just incredible luck, I jumped on the impact guns deal as quick as I could. After not getting a delivery confirmation for 4 days I gave them a ring to see if there was a hold up with my FFL. Come to find out there was a mistake...

I have watched a particular family member go through the same scenario. In fact, it at one point turned into an issue where when he would show up or would get called to go certain places with certain people, he was asked to leave the gun at home. This was all at the same time that I was carrying...

Nice choice with the CZ. I don't own one yet, but have shot several and have been impressed each time. I would definitely outfit what you have before you start putting away for another. (i.e. get a holster, spare mags, etc). However, since that wasn't the point of the post I will give you my...

I love metal framed guns. I love the feel and heft to them. However...I love polymer guns too. To me they both have different uses and beauty to them. Personally, I don't enjoy carrying around a metal framed gun all day long, but I sure enjoy shooting them.

All 3 great choices! They would serve you well in multiple capacities. For me, under your conditions of use, I would go with the P226. First for range burning, I like the feel of a heavier all metal frame. I find that it is more comfortable to shoot a heavier gun during practice, and I tend...
