Inherent accuracy, they would be equal. In terms of which is easier to shoot accurately, assuming factory stock specimens, longer slide equals longer sight radius. That would give the edge to the 34 or 17l. The 17l has the longest sight radius, but the 34 has a lighter trigger which also makes...

"The better you are, the even under stress, the less gun you need." This is the exact opposite conclusion reached by every recognized expert I can think of. Barring a situation that precludes a larger caliber like infirmity, none of the experts like Clint Smith, Massacre Ayoob, etc. recommend...

Not a cop, so no duty weapon for me. Do carry concealed. I carry a Glock 26 (baby 9mm). It's been 100% reliable over a few thousand rounds and I shoot it well. Other advantages for me: -perfect medium between size/weight, capacity, and power for me. Anything bigger gets more difficult to...

First time i've heard of a glock going back to the factory. I've heard of having them send replacement parts, but not going back. Glad to hear they fixed the problem. Sorry to hear it took two trips. Ruger didn't tell me what the problem was when I had to send my mkiii back. Just something...

Put me down as another 50/50. Had a model 44 in 44the magnum bought new in the mid 90's. Loved it. Bought a 970 .22 lr revolver last year. Worst trigger i've ever felt. Heavy, creepy, crunchy. It's inconsistent from cylinder to cylinder in weight and length of pull. After several cylinders, it...

I don't have more than a "hey would you like to shoot mine" passing experience with the two. If I were going to make the decision, here are some questions I'd try to answer. "Do I need the smaller size"- Are you having problems concealing the revolver? If so, do you have a good quality holster...

I was in artillery back in the 90's. Never saw one of those, so assume it's a Europe only thing. Those gasses are pretty nasty. You get a good whiff every time the breech opens. Don't want to imagine what was in them.

In the snout of time you spent on this post, you could have sent an email asking to be removed from their mailing list. You don't have to receive their email, either. Mark as spam and all future emails will go there as well. I do agree that such silly marketing gimmicks should be beneath...

It's a personal choice, but I would strongly recommend against the. 22 (or. 25 or. 32) for self defense in most cases. Ditto snubbies and ultra compact pistols. The only exceptions: -the person is physically unable to handle anything of bigger caliber due to infirmity -the person is unwilling...

I carry IWB in a summer special type holster. I go for single use bathrooms as a first choice.Flip two snaps, remove gun, place paper towel on sink, place gun on paper towel. I know i'm going to wash my hands, so no worries about leaving it. The skivie hammock is my second option.

Ditto on having her try out a bunch of things before she buys. There's a reason there are so many makes and models, there is no best gun for everyone. I usually recommend starting with a 9mm service sized pistol it a 4" medium framed. 38 or. 357 with. 38's. I don't mean buying one, I mean trying...

I own one Taurus, a 970good in 22lr. It's accurate and reliable. It has the absolute worst double action pull I've felt. Horribly inconstant trigger pull from one chamber to the next. Length of pull and weght of pull ranges from gritty and heavy to "is this thing ever going to go off?"...

I've been wondering for a long while what it is about the gun culture that results in so many people like that gun store clerk. It's a lot like religion, where people are sure that their answer is the right one, to the point that everyone who doesn't agree is a heretic. Likewise, the community...

It amazes me that the current crop of Republican candidates is so horrible. It's like they're trying to lose. The party elite is as clueless as the Dem's. None of them are strong on 2nd amendment, illegal immigration, and the economy. The two supposed front runners are weak on all 3. Perry and...

Two very different handguns. About the only thing they have in common is capacity and caliber. I own a 3glock 34 (same frame, slightly longer barrel) and a 92/96 combo (one frame/two barrels and slides to allow 9mm or. 40). The Glock 17 has a smaller grip, which makes it better for those...

As for not using their sights, I wonder if they did not use them, or if they didn't remember using them. Peoples memory of a shooting tends to be notoriously bad from everything i've read or been taught. Particularly so if the person is asked right after an incident. I haven't been in a...

I've got an m6x on my 34. Also a spare light next to it. A couple of things to keep in mind with a rail mounter light/laser: Anything you cover with the light is also covered by the muzzle. Maybe not the best thing if that bump in the night was little Suzy getting a late night snack. Batteries...

Just too many types of beginners to even begin to answer this. For the "buy a gun and drop it in a drawer until something goes bump in the night" beginner: 38/357 revolver and/or double barrel shotgun in caliber all adults can use. Add a way to lock them, a good flashlight, and a plan on what...

I could see this in NJ (don't they forbid hollowpoints) or if by "expanding" it was some armor peircing, incendiary, flechette of instant death bought from some guy at a gunshow who makes them in his basement.

I carried fmj years ago when I first started carrying. I had a Springfield Compact and was convinced from reading magazines it wouldn't be reliable with anything else. Eventually, I tried some hollowpoints and, to my amazement, they worked. Then I tried more. They worked, too. I bit the bullet...
