If you want a hammer fired 9mm take a look at CZ they make some excellent pistols either decocker or safety

The Buckmark is a fine pistol, as are the Ruger standards. I would not pass on the TX22 though. It will hold it's own against either of the previously mentioned at half the price. Amongst others I own a Ruger Standards and a Mark IV 22/45. The TX gets shot more than both Rugers combined. Additionally I wouldn't recommend a Standard or Mark series pistol, previous to the Mark IV due to damn near having to graduate gun smithing school to reassemble one. Once you know how it isn't bad, but it's not intuitive.

As an instructor, I’d like to offer some other advice. One, you seem to be jumping into everything simultaneously. For a lot of people doing so leads to frustration and or burn out. Instead figure out your priorities and start there. From your other posts, my first recommendation would be training; preferably even before buying your first gun. That way you’ll base your decisions on experience and not conjecture. Additionally, it’s often not the best idea to try to teach a spouse to shoot. More often than not it goes as terribly as a parent teaching their teenager to drive. There’s too much ego and emotional baggage attached to have consistently good outcomes. (In fact, I have a belief that the ability to learn from or teach something to a person ceases once anyone has seen the other naked in any context.) In summary, find a local range that has qualified instructors (MIL/LEO, USCCA, or Rangemaster preferred. NRA doesn’t cut it for me and I am one) and preferably a rental section to try out multiple types and work from there. Lastly, especially for the wife, it doesn’t have to be all at once. You get much better long term results doing short, regular sessions than you do with long, all encompassing, one hit wonders. A date night range trip or private lesson followed by a dinner out every couple weeks goes a long way for a lot of people.

Cleaning out my safe and this one is really too long to start with. Modified choke, Nickel Steel Barrel (30") Take down model with no disconnector. That means you can hold the trigger back and pump out rounds as fast as a semi-auto Fine old shotgun. Needs to have the bluing touched up. Mt. Juliet Area

Six o clock news ran a story tonight about this issue. The incidents by LEO are stacking up it seems. Sig still says its negligence on the part of the person carrying it.

A grand old shotgun indeed..! Wish ya were closer.. GLWS..! admirin leroy... The Winchester scattergun junkie

If that is what you want then go for it. While I love the 1911 platform there are a few issues for concealed carry: Size: too big for concealment. The shorter 3" versions seem less reliable (tried a Kimber 1911 45 in 3"). Much more difficult to disassemble as well. Weight, it makes your pants want to sag. Single action with light trigger. I feel safer with a Glock than a 1911 on my belt. If you do get a 1911 try and find a holster with a leather strap which prevents the hammer from falling while in holster. Traditionalists will argue this point, but it is based on my experience. My preferred choice is a 2" snub nose revolver. However, unless you man up to a .357 the power of a .38, even in +P, is marginal nowadays

Just a word of caution folks, differences of opinion and debates are perfectly fine, personal attacks and name calling will no longer be tolerated.

Up for sale is my brand new, unfired CZ P-10c optics ready. Comes with 2 15rd mags, and will also come in the factory box with all of the factory accessories. Asking price is $390.

Those body cameras don't lie. Plus Sig saying that foreign debris was in the holsters but let me say this : I wear a duty holster everyday and even the smallest amount of trash will not allow the pistol to lock in place. I say bull crap to the company. Most times those pistols fired in their holsters were while the officers were in motion and their hands were not touching the gun at all. There seems to be a lot of companies making crap here lately. GM making those 6.2 engines that are failing , Ford making engines with internal rubber belts submerged in an oil bath, Toyota making time bomb Tundra engines , and the new Tacoma is no longer a 300,000 mile plus truck anymore. Heck even Glocks new pistols are having problems.

But until such time as it falls into the abyss......... you can rest assured that it will remain in cyberspace for all eternity and until our Sun goes supernova and the earth is reduced to a burned out cinder!!!! Comforting, isn't it..........

Good information thanks It’s nice to learn more about accessories on here

I'd take that in a second if you were in East TN. I grew up shooting & hunting with this exact same gun. I took at least 10 deer with it. It was my dad's and unfortunately, it was promised to the first grandson before I was born. It hurt so bad when my dad passed and I had to hand that shotgun to my nephew.

Update: Form 4 submitted to the ATF on Wednesday 5/21/25. Form 4 approved and tax stamp received on Wednesday 5/28/25. Consider also that we had the Memorial Day holiday in between, so we're really only talking about a 5-day turnaround for a purchase on an NFA trust. I really hope that these fall off of the NFA so that they become same-day purchases, but this was a blazingly fast turnaround and I have no complaints other than that they shouldn't be regulated like this. Anyway... nice job, ATF.

Good looking deal!

CZ’s all thats left.

Bump

yeah I keep thinking the same thing a grand blade it is

Selling my HK USPC 9mm that's in excellent condition. Includes 3, 10 round mags, Trijicon night sights, and OWB holster. Also includes carrying case and manual. Will include original sights too. No trades, looking to sell only. Located in Nashville.

You can't delete a thread once started. You're doing the right thing, though, by changing the header, and the words in the opening post period if we just let it go, it'll fall into the abyss of unread threads.

What Leroy said..............

Nice looking blades, as always

I will second part of what was said here. Getting outside training is beneficial. NRA classes offer good basic classes. Like anything there are good and bad teachers. Just like I have seen people I would have expected to pass classes as an LEO that could find a group if they tried. It depends on what your purpose as to what type of trading you should look for. But I would start out with something basic and low stress and then practice and refine.

Sounds like a worthwhile adventure

Accurate-mag? Is that the AICS format and who made it, please?

I think if you like a 9mm 1911, and you shoot one well, then go for it. I’ve never owned one or shot one, only .45s. I owned, but never carried a 1911, except in the Army. I like shooting them, but they are just too big for me. I owned one now. But I’m a Glock guy (there I said it). That’s what I’ve moved too and what I carry, other than a Ruger LCP Max and a S&W 442.

Good snag. Love the Tanto !

I’ll take #1

Definitely looking into this option. Living in a SMALL town has its merits, but makes it difficult to locate shops that rent in my immediate area. Maybe worthy of a short road trip in the near future.

I personally don’t think too much of AR’s for hunting or home defense if we’re talking .223/5.56mm, but I don’t hunt and in my abode a rifle is inappropriate. If it’s reached obsession point, Just go to Palmetto State Armory’s website and order the cheapest one they have and get it out of your system for $500-$600, maybe less. They make very serviceable, quality, and accurate weapons. Don’t fret about politics, society, or alphabets…that’s all overrated.

Yup. T3X .223 cut to 18" & in a Rokstock T3X 6.5x55 in a Stockys VG2 Carbon T3 6.5x55 All wearing SWFA 6x42 scopes. The 2 Xs were painted by yours truly.
