I handled one when the first came out and I was seriously impressed. The first word that came to mind when I picked it up was "svelte". Unfortunately I'm left-handed and the single-sided safety doesn't agree with me. I do hope SIG does something a little more ambidextrous in the next...
I was actually very interested in picking up a Sphinx SDP. However, being a lefty with large hands means I must at least dry fire a pistol a few times before making a decision. I finally found one in a local shop - it was VERY nicely finished, but one pull of the trigger in D/A mode and I lost...
I've handled 3 so far. Honestly none of the triggers felt that great to me, but I've had all of my S&W's triggers slicked up by a competent gunsmith.
I view the Kimbers as bringing only one thing to the table: an extra round in a J-frame sized snubnose. 6 vs 5 rounds isn't enough of a...
I was also going to suggest the Colt Defender in 9mm, but there's an incremental step downward in size from that: the Springfield EMP. It's bigger than the SIG P938 and smaller than the Colt Defender.
The folks I know who own them really like them. Too small for my hands, though. And not a...
I think this is the latest version of the pocket auto comparison.

Hey Mike.
I too was looking at this thing but lost interest when I discovered the rear rails were formed from polymer. I have no problems trusting a properly-designed polymer receiver to house a fire control group and retain an upper but I have no faith in it as a bearing surface.
I use a standard carbine buffer and spring in my 6.5. I'm running a Magpul UBR stock on it because I need the collapsibility over the adjustability a PRS would provide. No issues ... so far. :D
A fixed rifle stock would require a rifle spring and buffer.
I shoot a 6.5 Grendel that I built around a 20" Black Hole Weaponry barrel (technically .264 LBC). I learned a lot about building a precision AR over the course of this.
Whether your rifle is capable of sub-MOA accuracy has a lot to do with the quality of the upper (the barrel, especially)...
The P2022 is a great budget suppressor host. I've seen a couple with threaded barrels for under $600. If--like me--you're not fond of striker-fired pistols, they're the only game in town in that price range.
I have a set of Recons on my Springer TRP. Compared to them the 20 lpi checkering on the front strap feels smoother than a baby's bottom. That's the checkering that everyone complains about being "too rough" and damaging to their hands.
I really can't imagine something grippier than the...
I have a set of white linen (not canvas!) micarta grips on my Colt. "Aged Westinghouse micarta" is another nice color. It's not quite as attractive as ivory but it has interesting grain and can be polished to a nice "warm" texture. In addition they cost less than 70 bucks. :)
I once visited the local posh range with 9 concealed pistols - cargo shorts (6 pockets), two holsters (one appendix and one hip) and my shirt pocket (perfect for an NAA Mini). I didn't clank when I walked, either!
It was the first time out with a buddy who had just purchased his first Ruger...
I have a few single shots in .45-70 and used to have a Marlin 1895CB. Emphasis on the "used to". It never worked right and that was before the Remington takeover. I greatly prefer the single shots, which are purely for target shooting. There's nothing that I hunt (or worry about...
