I've been looking at getting a different pistol in .40 caliber. I currently have a Gen 3 Glock 23. I've had mine for several years and I like the gun except for the grip size. I have smaller hands (cue the Trump jokes...lol) and shoot okay with it but the grip is slightly larger than I care for. I have been looking at the Glock 23 Gen 4 and it seems to be smaller but not by much. I have also looked at the Springfield XD MOD2 (Service Model with 4" barrel) in .40. I liked the feel of the gun and think it could be a contender. The last and possibly new favorite gun I handled is the H&K VP40. I really liked how the gun felt in my hand also. I have read some reviews and watched Hickock45's videos) on those guns. His review of the VP40 stated that it felt more snappy than the G23. I know the .40 is snappy but making a gun even snappier is a negative. I have also read that several people complain of a higher bore axis with the Springfields and H&Ks compared to the Glocks (I don't know if that is anything to concern myself with or not or if it's just preference).I am looking for input on anyone's experiences with the above mentioned guns that may help narrow down my choices. Thanks.

Hey guys. I started a conversation previously regarding handgun laws and I got great answers that helped a lot. But I have one more question that I didn't think of but would've been helpful to know today. The castle doctrine extension enables me to carry a loaded handgun in my vehicle without an HCP as long as I am not unable to own a handgun by law and if I'm in lawful possession of the vehicle. My question is....if someone I am riding with (friend,relative etc.) is in lawful possession of their vehicle, would that be covered by the castle doctrine? Or is it only if I myself am in possession of the vehicle and am driving? Thanks for the help!

I'm looking for a nice price on an AR-Pistol upper 7.5. I'm in Dyersburg so i will drive if i have to in the area. But if you know of an online site that has one that'd be great too. So please guys help me out. I would like it complete with quad rails. I don't like the key holes. I have the lower complete. I'm going flat dark earth and black colors. Thanks

The COP - 4 Barrel .357 Magnum Derringer -
Hey guys, i bought a G4 19 MOS last year but never installed a red dot, recently a buddy offered me a real good deal on his old Trijicon RM04, this is the fiber optic version with the amber dot. The problem is the Trijicon plate that came with the gun doesn't fit this particular sight. Anyone else run into this problem/find a place to order other plates for different red dot options? Any help would be appreciated!

Got a S & W Victory model revolver a few weeks ago @ an auction. Parkerized finish worn smooth, plain wood grips , serial # S V109345... Anyone know about when it was made/shipped from factory ? Thanks !

I'm wondering if anyone has experienced the same issue I've had. When trying to chamber a round from a fully loaded 30 rd magazine I'm finding that the bolt doesn't go completely forward like it should. If I try using the bolt release it will get hung up just about every time. If I do the slingshot method using the charging handle it will work correctly but only if I really let it rip. Anyone else experiencing this? I really don't think I would trust this gun if I had to do a defensive reload. Other than this issue it feeds all types of ammo without fail

Aim Surplus sent me a e-mail showing the Canik SF shipped at $332 and some change. Just a heads up.

I've had my current Ruger Mark II for going on 20 years and can only take a wild guess at how many rounds have gone thru this lil work horse of a pistol. All I know is that there were some summers where it saw a 550 round box of Federals EVERY single weekend. Conservatively I'd estimate it's about 5K rounds/yr, so I don't have a damn thing to complain about. You can't put that many rounds thru any gun without replacing a worb out spring here or there. I've also upgraded to a set of Hogue target grips, Volquartsen extended mag release, and FO front sight. Every other part is original. Yesterday I was indoctrinating a co-worker from CA, err, introducing a first time shooter to the wonderful world of firearms and of course the Mark II comes out first. We put about 400 rounds thru the old gal with zero issues. However, when I got home to clean it, the mainspring was stuck. It took me about 30 minutes to take it apart (this was the normal reassembly time back when I first got the gun and there weren't such thing as a YouTube video to show you how to do it right). I found that the bolt stop pin had broken just above the mainspring. The bottom part is still attached to the mainspring by the pivot pin. I'm guessing the love taps with a rubber mallet over the years to unjam the mainspring or align the bolt stop pin holes finally had their toll. I'm not whining, the replacement parts are $15 including shipping from Ruger. I just thought after all these years this thing was indestructible.

Kimber new 6" 10mm hunting 1911. Personally I think this is sexy AF. Then the MRSP of $2688 brings me back to reality.

A new pistol in 9mm that looks like a Glock. http://www.schmeisserusa.com

I have now put several thousand rounds through my Glock 20 and I am just not in love with the trigger. It is a bit too spongy for me and doesn't break like I want it to break. Can any of you recommend someone in the Nashville/Murfreesboro area? I'm looking for first-class work so I'm willing to open the wallet. I hardly ever modify a stock Glock but this is going to be the exception. Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

New guy here, but not new to forum discussions. Thought I would throw this out there. Is any forum better/worse for posting 1911 related topics, questions, photos, etc? Just curious. Off to bed, I'll get your replies in the morning.

Not sure if this is the right place to post this. But....... Where is the best place to find a good Smith 640 or especially the 640 Pro? I've been wanting one for a good bit, but the Pro is usually pricey. It wouldn't hurt my feelings to go for a used one at all, but you just don't see them come up very often.

I am sure most of you know this but entering the code NRA10 at checkout at Gander Mountain gets you 10% off on the website.

I recently acquired a S&W 686-2 that is purported to be a TN state issued law enforcement duty weapon from the late '80s. Does anyone know the significance of following markings located on the frame below the cylinder?

Picked up a new Sig 229R Saturday. Nice pistol, Sig fat, accurate. So far ordered a Galco holster and 2 mags to go with it. The only thing is it has a E2 grip and you have to slam the mags in fairly hard to get them to seat. Put around 500 rounds thru it so far.

It strikes me that human nature is to reject change, and in the case of weapons--this is clearly evident. I am old enough to remember Vietnam Vets hating m-16's (AND the 5.56) active duty military absolutely despising Beretta M9 9mm 92's (AND the 9mm in general), cops FURIOUS about the change from wheelguns to Glocks, etc etc. But when we look back, those become the MOST popular weapons of a generation. I had a conversation with a NYC cop who told me that his usual "MO" was to carry a Glock 17 as his sidearm, and his old S&W duty revolver on his ankle. When in a confrontation, he said he would draw his revolver, if necessary empty it, THEN draw his Glock, tossing his revolver on the ground. He referred to it as a "New York Reload". He said he never trusted his Glock and still does not. Fast forward one Generation and the Glock is considered (arguably) by many as one of the most reliable weapons ever invented. I am saying all this to refer to the change to the Sig 320 as announced by the US Military. I can recall VERY few that were happy about going to the Baretta M9 (92). Now people are upset about the change to Sig with MANY MANY ex-Military guys exalting the Beretta (and curiously several versions of the Beretta selling for CRAZY prices). I predict that in a Generation, the Sig 320 will be considered "up there" with the 1911, the Barettta 92, and the Glock 17 as an all time favorite. Any input? (this is intended to be a post about "human nature" and rejection to change--not saying that one is "better" or trying to get into a senseless caliber war)
