I believe Rex B is thinking of Corbon DPX. I don't really worry myself with .380 ballistic tests. If you're carrying a .380, you're already well aware that you have armed yourself with a smallish caliber. Instead I focus on a good quality round that I can shoot well with. I don't have the...

I have the same issue! I go home from the range with the thumb joint of my right hand beet red. I don't really find the gun that much fun to shoot.

I just watched this new show on Spike called DEA. They are following around some DEA guys in Detroit and, as can be expected, the show is overly dramatic. I still found it mildly entertaining. In one of their raids, they kept stressing that the dealer had a pistol and how dangerous she could...

I love my P11. It fit all the requirements I had when I purchased it. I wanted a light, small, 9mm pistol that wouldn't cost me an arm and a leg. After reading all the iffy statements about KT firearms, I half expected to get a lemon (I bought mine used). I have since fired maybe 700 rounds...

I carry my P11 in an IWB UBG holster. http://www.ubgholsters.com/ Good quality leather IMO although I'm not really an expert. This holster + a good belt makes for a nice carry.

My $390 Rock Island Armory 1911 has ate thousands of rounds of ammo without any more of a problem than a weak recoil spring which I remedied with a new Wolff spring. I only use Chip McCormick mags which do make a difference. The included Novak mag worked well but cheaper no-name mags are sort of...

Not really related.. but I was in GM last night and watched a "gun guy" get handed a gun, not check it for clear, and the proceed to point it at the clerk, at himself, and sweep everyone else at the counter with it. I wish they would stop showing guns to idiots like that. I've found a few good...

I've had a C&R for at least a year now and I've never purchased a firearm with it. But it sure saved me a ton of money at Midway and Brownells! I've probably saved enough on gun accessories and reloading equipment to make it worth my while 5 times over.

Like everyone else has said.. you need a good belt and my suggestion is to grab an Uncle Mike's Instructor belt. It's < $30 from Midway and it has a poly insert to keep it stiff. If you're not in a situation where you need a nice looking leather belt, it's probably the most cost effective belt...

A friend of mine has one and I've had the pleasure of sending a few rounds down range with it. It's a very easy gun to shoot and quite accurate.

I haven't tried to pocket carry my P11 but it seems a tad bit big for that? I've dropped it in my cargo pocket once but without a holster to keep it situated, I found it very uncomfortable and it printed a bit more than I wanted. Got any pictures of what you carry it in? To be a little more...

I'm not laughing.. I love my P-11. I'd like to get a P-40 in my collection one day. I second UBG. I have a UBG IWB for my P11 and it's great.

This thread made me look for more of Mr EoTech's posts.:D I would recommend not sleeping with a gun in your hand when you're with your first, second, or possibly third wife. And especially not with 10-20 children running around the house. ;)

I love my Rock Island Armory 1911. I've seen them still going for $379 range at gun shows around my area. Depending on where you are, that's either a good price or too high. I had some issues at first due to what appeared to be a weak recoil spring and poor choice of cheap magazines (my fault)...

I try to avoid it but looking in the gritty dirty chamber after only a couple hundred rounds usually makes me do something. Really, the re-assembly isn't _that_ hard but it is definitely something you gotta get used to. I find that I have to refer back to the manual when I do get around to...
