Quote: There is a real place in the market (at least I WANT ONE) for a 6 or 7 shot .22 dbl action round butt revolver that is intermediate in size between a J frame Smith and a NAA mini. 75-100 years ago there were a bunch of cheap H&Rs and Iver Johnsons filling this niche. IF someone would produce a quality arm in this class I think it would sell well. You are describing the Smith & Wesson '"M" Frame...

I wish I could afford 20,000 rds of ammo! I had about 8,000 through my XD9 when it was stolen...

He has the magazine extender on the XD; it's the lower pistol in the photos. His Kahr has the (mostly) flush magazine.

I find the Sig 238 carry's better in a Desantis Nemisis that doesn't have the full back plate style,it doesn't print like you think it would.It allows the gun to cant in the pocket just enough the beaver tail is hidden. I don't find cocked and locked an issue with how positive the safety is plus its in a holster and again its designed just as a series 80 1911 internally in the slide,ive been in there and checked it all out....

You can do a little polishing and buy reduced power springs and make a even better trigger.. But I dont recommend the light striker springs for carry use.

Quote: I looked at and handled a 709 and was not particularly impressed. Still, for that price, I was hoping. I've seen other negative reviews as well and I guess it's time to think of something else I was intrigued at first too. It is starting to look like this is just another Taurus though. The thing that really hurt the stainless slide one I was look at was the fact it was sitting right next to two Kahr CW9's on the shelf....

Sig, Glock, and HK all make fantastic pistols! However, quality isnt all a department or agency looks at when selecting a weapon. Cost plays a huge factor and also what the selecting personnel prefer plays a part too. HK is not that popular in LE or civilian use in America, and truth be told there CS is probably one of the worst out there. Not cause their a bad company, but because they dont care much about civilian sales. In other countries...

Quote: I infer, however, from your question that Chuck Taylor has put a lot of rounds through a G17. Haven't seen an update in awhile but the round count was up over 150K the last time I remember reading something about it.

The SW1911 will be the better choice for what you want. Accurate and reliable with an excellent trigger. The only upgrade that you may want to do is the trigger itself (not a trigger job) because some have a bit of up and down movement. __________________ NRA Life Member Old age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill
