I asked my good friend, and expert on US military arms, Bruce Canfield about this. While he does not have any definite figures he believes that 800,000 sounds way too high considering that only about one million were retained by the US Army after WWI and many thousands were used as training...

Jim: I do not check in here very often. I am afraid I do not recall ever receiving your letter. Was it mailed to me c/o the Shotgun News? I have made note of what you said about the number of M1917s. Can you supply sources for the information? I will then look into it and make corrections...

They're OK if Bill Wilson makes them. :rolleyes: ;) :confused:

John Moses Browning: FN Mle. 1900 Tom Horn (famous gunfighter): .32 revolver (brand?) Pres. Theodore Roosevelt: FN Mle. 1900 & Colt M1903 Alice Roosevelt (TR's daughter): .32 revolver (brand?) Sgt. Alvin York: Mauser M1910 - and - My father: Ruger SP101 in .32 H&R Mag

eerw - well the boxes may be from Atlanta arms but what's in them might be another matter. :D I have nothing against someone shooting custom reloaded ammo - that's 100% legal in USPSA - but when they brag that they shoot "factory" guns and ammo, and then don't....well, according to how you...

A friend of mine shot with Sevigny at a match in Virginia last year. Dave S. claims he shoots "factory" ammo (I forget the brand) in his "stock" Glock pistols but at the end of a stage he cleared his pistol and dropped a round on the ground. He began to walk away but when he saw my friend pick...

Perhaps Ruger just has too much good sense?

While I love my BHP, I think getting a single action pistol presents you with too many limitations. Have one for competition by all means but for CCW/home defense something with a DA/SA, DAO or Safe Action trigger would make more sense.

S&W K-frame revolver, round butt grip, Hogue grips with 3" or 5" barrel. Ergonomic perfection! :cool: Runner up - Beretta 96 Elite.

I just got my hands on one of the new Para Hawg 9 mini-1911 pistols chambered for the 9mm Para. It comes with all the "bells & whistles" you 1911 fans demand but is chambered for a cartridge that makes it a very controllable and accurate little package. Hell, loaded with 13 rounds of 9mm +P+...

Quit making a mountain out of a molehill. Buy a Glock 17/19 and you will find true happiness. :cool:

MattW - reread my post. I choose the 9mm because I can shoot pistols chambered for it faster and more accurately than any other centerfire handgun I own. Nuff said! Fast, accurate shot placement is more important than bullet diameter!

It's a chop job. The shortest factory barrel on the M1899 was 4 inches and they had round blade (half moon) front sights, not ramped blades. And all had round butt grips. Pass it by!

Werewolf - according to USPSA rules Poppers have to be calibrated to fall to a standard velocity 115 gr. 9mm load. If they don't demand a test. I have never had a properly calibrated Popper fail to fall to a 9mm hit in the upper 75% of the "body."

Any adjustable sight that costs less than $100 ain't worth sh.....well, you know. :barf:

I find it interesting that the pistol JMB carried for personal defense was an FN Mle. 1900 in .32 ACP. Hmmmmmm..... :confused:

The Glock 19 is safe with all factory +P and +P+ ammunition. I keep my G17 loaded with Winchester 127 gr. +P+ Ranger. It shoots great and functions perfectly.

My local 'smith did a grip reduction on my G21 (which included a brass Seattle Slug) and it is now the best handling Glock I own. He also charged significantly less than the Robar guys and IMHO it's a much better job. E-mail me for his name and phone #.

My Glock 17 loaded with W-W 127 gr. +P+ ammo. Which is just what I used for home defense and - in cooler weather - CCW.
