15 years ago I never thought I'd buy a Glock either. I think I hated the idea that my grandpa's ole .45 wasn't as good as a modern piece of plastic... But my grandpa was probably in the same position when he chose a semi auto over a peacemaker. I finally decided to choose based not on emotion...

29, I trust 10mm more for larger 4 legged bad guys and the trajectory is flatter giving a further mpbr. I've always wanted a Glock 20 but can't really justify it because the only times I go in that type of country I have a shotgun and or rifle with me

Yeah I haven't been on here long, but I'm quickly coming to the conclusion that you're all experts on here and your experience is something I should be taking as the gospel because what you all think or feel or the way you deal with flinching is better and more expert than mine. And actually it...

I like it when some elaborate test is set up and then the shooters use the cheapest garbage ammo they can find. It takes out the notion of accuracy and reliability and puts everything on luck and inexperience

That was really long and to be honest I didn't read much after "unpack that". The way to stop flinching is realize your gun is going to do the same thing to you weather you flinch or not, so just accept it, you've shot it and flinched and you're just fine, just quit being scared. Being surprised...

I've always liked 9x17s. I like the idea of the 7.65 Browning as well but I've never owned one. Don't pay too much attention to minimum caliber people, ballistic gel is certainly entertaining and will give you a great idea of how a bullet will perform... In ballistic gel. I think it's funny...

Exactly

Neither. I've had 4 Smith & Wesson autos break multiple times (all of the S&W autos I've owned), an M&P 40, a Shield, a 4013 TSW and a Walther/Smith PPK/S. I would almost trust the Bersa more, but I've never owned one, I certainly won't buy another Smith & Wesson auto (I do like their revolvers...

Aww everybody's feelings getting hurt now. You guys all keep doing your press checks, I think it's an amateur action that doesn't solve anything and I'll leave it at that

Yes I will giggle every time I see that, look up the black rifle coffee guys on YouTube, they're all former SEALs, Rangers etc, they do an excellent job of mockery on the subject and every time I see somebody do it I think of them

Lol press checks... The same guys that draw to their chest and extend then pull back into their chest before holstering. Meaningless. You should know if your gun is hot to start with, but even if you don't, like every single firearm made in the last 20 years has a loaded chamber indicator...

Wow, good options. Well I love the 6.5x55, I had a Winchester model 70 featherweight before all the 6.5 craze, but needing money and not being able to find European 6.5x55 in my area anymore, I sold it. The American stuff just doesn't cut it in 6.5 for me. Nothing wrong with 25-06 for whitetail...

Shotgun, it'll handle everything within it's range. I personally rarely see small game more than 50 yards away in my area anyway... But that's just me

I carried a 637 to work all the time a while back in a holster that looks similar to that relentless but it was a Galco. It worked pretty well, my job was very physical but the gun didn't move around too much and you could hide it under a t shirt, only the belt clip printed just barely

Salt Lake County, now known as Unified, were using Glock 22s (27) and M&P 40s last I heard, Federal ammunition unknown weight. Salt Lake City, Glock 17 (26) Speer 147 grain Gold Dot, a 1911 variant was also authorized. Utah Highway Patrol a long time ago issued Beretta Cougars in .40, but I...

Get something small and carry it anyway, just make sure it's well hidden and nobody will know, I've done that everywhere it says "No Firearms". Unless you work for the government, that's a whole different story and you'll probably go to jail haha

I have on occasion, but the first time I did it I shot just fine (at 5 yards), so every now and then I will but it doesn't seem to get better or worse and I don't really want to spend half my time at the range shooting left handed on the very off chance my right hand may be incapacitated, so I...

Well the thickness is the same, the rear of the slide sticks up above your beltline the same... The grip is a half inch shorter, so it depends where it's printing I guess and how concerned you are/what your state laws say about people noticing it. I actually carry a Glock 27 rather than a 23 not...

If I carried 147 grain hollow points I would absolutely use 147 grain FMJ for practice... My Glock 19 actually LOVES 147 grain Winchester FMJ (a does my M9), I get far better accuracy out of them than anything else. Since I have so many 9mm's and I don't use any of them for defense though I just...

Being an older design, I'd say choose a fairly traditional bullet profile. I think the old Federal 115 grain JHP (9BP) would feed fine... If you can find them. I'd try Remington Golden Sabers first though, they're well designed and have a good reputation for feeding like FMJ. My dad's surplus...
