Which pistols take M1 magazines? There is your answer. Appeal is mostly to do with being able to use a longarm that accepts the same mags as your sidearm. The M1 has the same issues as the MP5, UZI, Thompson, etc.
Have a 4" GP and an LCR. The GP is fantastic and a pleasure to shoot, the LCR is..unpleasant, I suppose. Not atrocious but not a range gun. I would assume the SP is somewhere in between.
If you are worried about shooting bad guys with armor, it is stupidly easy for them to be wearing AR500 rather than a soft cover. 9x19 isn't doing crap against that. 2 to the chest, then pelvic girdle unless you have an easy headshot.
Compare to a Sccy that holds a nominal 10+1, def 11 and possibly 12 with a little follower work. Advantage Sig for factory tritiums and striker design if that is your preference, but 3x the cost of the Sccy...
Another alternative is just buy one of Sarco's parts kits and build your own. It is not much investment, you end up with a mixmaster on a new frame, and you get the satisfaction of building it and learning the ins and outs in detail.
Agreeing to no C&Rs was assinine and a total turnoff from...
Well I bought a 2nd gen Sccy for like $200, it has been flawless. Plenty of good reviews in the Gen 2 PT111s. I guess giving it a second chance isn't that risky.
Only reason I can think of for it not being enough is if you get a little trigger happy. Keep a handgun around too if you are concerned...the fastest reload is a second gun.
I want to say AR because you can't short stroke it or bungle reloads as easily, but really you would be better off with something like the cheap EAA DA/SA 9mms for self-protection duty (~$300). If things are that bad where you need a small fire team at longer ranges, you will either a) be dead...
I have Eagle Secret Service on mine. Looks great, conceals better, and I don't have to worry about carrying a reload because after 5 shots I've got an arm off.
327 is not a pipsqueak, especially in light guns. Use the 85 grainers, load your own (best choice due to ammo scarcity and price) or step down to H&R for plinking and comfort.
Have a 327...it's a handful with full power loads, I imagine 357 would be most unpleasant. As mentioned the DA pull is exceptional. They are a bit larger than other DA only options like Js or Charters with boot grips.
Aside from cost, there is basically no reason to choose the HP over...anything, let alone the M1.
M1 can be classic, or modernized with plastic and an optic if so desired.
Euro (S&B, Prvi, Fiocchi, etc) 32 is best. I prefer FMJ in anything below 9x17 (and about 50% in that), but will shoot JHP if I can prove they work (Hornady 6.35 seem 100% in a Seecamp 25).
I have had generally good luck with Magtech but it seems a bit dirty compared to S&B.
LCP with the Hogue grip and Magguts is pretty great...7+1 in a tiny package. NAA is also carried by rarely as a primary unless I can't conceal anything bigger.
