What a beautiful gun ! The ONLY negative I seem to remember about the Troopers was the concern over the sinstered metal used in the hammers (cant remember if it was the MkIII or the V). That being said, I never saw one that had failed. Think this could be compared to the more recent MIM debates...

Purty much the reasons you've read of. I bought a gen 4 Glock 19 shortly after they came out and had major failure to feed and extract issues. I love Glocks and have carried predominantly Glocks for 20 some years - but I got rid of that pistol. It took a while for Glock to get the right...

I also carry the G4 Glock 26. You're right - a heck of a shooter! Love my gen 3 Glock 26 as well, but the G4 fits my hand just a lil bit better. No backstrap installed on mine..

Had to vote 9mm for my G26. Carry a 40 on duty but my G26 goes with me everywhere when I'm not in uniform.

Since my needs focus more on defense than just an all around gun, my choice is the Glock 19... probably the best (imho) defense pistol ever made if concealed carry is part of the plan. If I was limited to just one gun, though, the Browning Hipower would be very tempting... Just something about...

That tucker is a great looking holster. The slot proximity to the gun ought to mean a very close fitting holster. As a matter of preference I prefer my guns to ride a little lower, but still... Wish they had a picture of the holster with a nice Centenial so I could see how it sits in...

PottyDoctor, I don't currently have an Askins and haven't tried the one from Blackhawk yet (still on order). I did use an Askins style holster for several years with a 1911 and it quickly became one of my favorites. This design does indeed hold the gun in close without the outward sag you...

PottyDoctor, I also use the Eagle SS grips on my 642 and love them for the control and concealibility (?) they provide. I may stay with the stock UM boots on my new 642 just because I've found the HKS speedloaders I prefer work with the UM but not the Eagles. As for the Pach compac...

Nematocyst, Started on, and have primarily worked, the night shift since '85. (hence my coffee addiction). Went through the police academy in '88 when revolvers were mandatory. Got away from round guns for a long time but always felt the .357 was the most versatile caliber around due to the...

Finally here! Been carrying a 642 for about a year now but didn't know about this thread. Found "the club" about three weeks ago but didn't want to post until I finished reading the replies (56 pages worth!!). For the last 17 years I've always carried service sized guns but when I started...

I feel like a two timer. I own both a 642 and a 638. I've aquired the 638 since our last qualification so the 642 gets all the carry time. Now I'm looking for a 637 with a straight barrrel to round out my Lightweight collection. It's amazing the percentage of these guns S&W is letting get out...

Haven't been able to get on the site for the least three days. I haven't tried in a while, though. Been feeding other hobbies. They haven't left us again, I hope!

Daniel Flory, Currently using an El Paso Saddlery 1.5" belt. Primarily using pancakes from Bianchi, G&G, and Ross Leather for my Glocks and Sigs. I don't currenty have a decent holster for the 1911's but kinda looking at Galco. Being used to Glocks and the P239, I'm not sure I'm ready to...

Any more experiences with the Colt, Kimber, and Smith?

Actually considered a Lightweight XSE (and fondled one as well). Although it's not out of the running, I kinda prefer blued weapons. The "enhanced" cut under the trigger guard also bugs me. Also found it to be a little more expensive than the Smith or several of the Kimbers. I do like it well...

A few months back I was ambushed by the 1911 bug. Ended up getting a Colt NRM Stainless Commander and a NRM Govt Model (blued). Put a RIA 4" on lay-a-way and now am comparing for my next purchase. Kinda want something light for carry and like the Commander length the best. I'm trying to decide...

Congratulations Petro! Had one and liked it real well. The only thing that bothered me on the pistol was the finger grooves. Though shallow, they were in all the wrong places. Wound up working 100% but I just shot my Glocks better (way more experience with Glocks!). I also dremmeled away that...

Recently picked up a SS NRM Commander and became officially hooked on the 1911. Less than a week later I did some trading for a blued NRM Government Model and asked the clerk to order me a NRM blued commander. Only issue is that I prefer the standard A1 configuration with the arched MSH and the...

Great looking pistol! What's the caliber? Coffee

Thanks guys! Coffee
