For a carry gun, .40 is the best choice it seems correct? You get more stopping power than a 9mm, but increased magazine capacity. Anyone want to add to that?

From what I know, the P228 was never actually "made" in the U.S. ... some were "assembled" in the U.S. from German parts, but even those have a verifiable "German heritage" (the slides often have "Made in Germany"...

Another Springfield Armory XDm fan here. I have a .40 and love the way it shoots. I love the way the .40 cal. It has been a very new experience for me. When I went on a very long hiatus from shooting, there were no pistols in .40. I have a P229 (don't know if that is considered full size)a SigPro on the way in .40 and the XDm. Love the 229 and the XDM. The XDm is bigger and everything that has been posted so far about it is true. I have...

So Ive been learning more about 1911s lately and I came across the black finished Springfield TRP. I have heard a lot of good stuff about SA, but also that they use cast parts and that is bad supposedly. I honesly dont know much about them, obviously. I was just wondering what you all think about the TRP and how it compares to other 1911s in that price range like maybe the Valor, etc. Would you say they are overpriced, underpriced, or right...

All too common, you'll have to send it back. Sorry about the luck.

I haven't gotten mine range ready yet because I keep admiring it in the plastic and grease it shipped in, so I just grab a 9 and go shooting. I'm afraid my proofed 40 may become a safe queen. Oh well, in the last year I seem to be going 9 more and more anyway. I dont want my 40S&W 2022 to become a safe queen but thus far I have not taken it to the...

I believe there's a tutorial kicking around here somewhere on posting pics, but the short version is: You have to get them up somewhere on the web (like Photobucket, or even your own web site if you have one) and then you click the little picture square on the posting widow (2nd from the right) and paste the picture's URL into the little drop down that appears. So easy a caveman could do it.
