I have one of the early M&P 9Cs and the custom touches I applied to make it prefect were to add "golf ball" dimples to the grip, night sights, and an APEX RAM to give the trigger a more positive reset. It's fired well over 15000 rounds and it still looks, feels, and shoots like new. That being...

Imitation is the name of the game in the firearms industry. Its like asking why other companies can build 1911s that aren't Colts.

When I bought my 3913 I wasn't blown away by the accuracy with the 124gr loads I was shooting. Being the pistol was made at the height of the 147gr craze I decided to reserve judgement until I fired it with the heavier bullets. This gun is magical with the heavier bullets. Its probably the...

I had a PSP and sold it a few years back. I regret selling that pistol so much.

I used to carry my Bulgarian regularly and its a fine carry pistol but I swapped it out for a pistol with better sights. The Makarov is a great pistol. Accurate, slim, powerful enough, and reliable as a hammer. Also, a CZ82 is not a Makarov.

I wouldn't say it was legal either. There is no statute that allows federal agents to tell someone to break the law. That places the agency above the law. When they told the FFL dealers to provide the firearms to the buyers knowing the law prohibited it they themselves broke the law. If it...

I had an XD45 for a while and I really wanted to like it. The biggest gripe I had with it was the trigger. While it was crisp the reset was too long. It would reset well past the break point so after the trigger broke you had to release about 3/4 of the way then take up the slack again to the...

I don't know about "tilting" your head. I don't find that advice helpful. The fact is you sight naturally aligns to your dominant eye. TURN your head about 10 degrees to the right so you left eye is aligning directly behind your sights with your head in a natural upright position. This way...

My vote would have been the M&P but I would have replaced the Shield with a BG380. If I'm going to carry on the hip I prefer the 9C over the Shield and the Shield is just a little large for pocket carry for me. The BG380 is perfect for pocket carry and a great bug too. When I go out with the...

3913 is my vote, heck its my vote for best CCW PERIOD.

Glocks can't break. They are indestructible. At least, thats what they say.

Just about any modern auto will handle +p ammo. Your owners manual should tell you what Beretta recommends. Personally, I think 45 does just fine at regular pressures that +p ammo isn't that necessary for carry ammo. I carry what I practice with and firing thousands of +p rounds through my...

Personally I really like the wide notch 10-8 rear sights with a high visibility front like the Ameriglo or Trijicon HD. That is the perfect setup in my book.

Shoot both and decide which you like better. The nonsense about the triggers is just that, nonsense. I've put over 10,000 rounds through my M&P 9C and the only weapon I've found to be it's equal, for me, is the 3913 with it's DREADED da/sa trigger. Both are fine weapons so whatever fits you...

If I could only have ONE gun between the two I would probably choose a 38. That being said I see no utility in a 38 for a current carry gun. Any 38 is large enough that a sub compact 9mm like my M&P 9C or a Glock 26 makes much more sense and if I'm in a situation where that is too large my...

I find most of the Glock "torture tests" just stupid. The things they did to those pistols have been done to Hipoints. Why are we supposed to automatically assume that because the Glock can do it no other pistol can? There is nothing about the Glock that is SO innovative that it is impervious...

Yes, its magazines not clips. Calling them "clips" is something nancy pelosi would say.

Used 3rd gen Smiths are fragile and poor shooters. (Stop telling everyone what great deals they are! If everyone realizes how great they are the prices will just go up!)

Tiamat, you seem to imply that copying other pistol designs is somehow stealing or unethical but in the firearms business its the name of the game. Glock doesn't have a single original feature on it, Mausers, 1911s, AR15s, are almost all copies or clones to some extent. At this point its like...

Just shoot them. The criticisms of the triggers are largely overblown in my opinion. People rave about Browning HPs but have you felt the reset on one of them? Me neither and I own one!
