In terms of how the bullets perform, I doubt there is going to be a noticeable difference. I suppose if you checked velocity with a Chronograph and compared it to equivalent data from a summer session, you could probably measure some difference, but in practice its not likely to matter. As...

I havent seen what the "Yankee Marshall" has to say. As for the P320 passing gov't drop tests...it has been shown, conclusively, that those tests are lacking. I am well aware that the P320 is the basis of the new M17/18 pistols. As I understand it Sig puts a different trigger in those guns...

Sure, I will grant you that. Dropping a P320 probably won't result in a AD/ND. The thing is, drops that will definitely set off a P320 will not set off a Glock, S&W, Ruger etc. Also, as many people have pointed out, SIG is far from the first company to have this kind of problem. My issue is...

Well sure, nobody drops their gun on purpose. That is why it's called an accident. Things happen... A dropped gun should not result in a AD/ND. Especially if the gun is holstered when dropped (and the trigger cannot snag because of that). So far as I know, Glock, S&W, CZ, Springfield, Ruger...

So, who all is watching Sig sit on its P320 Drop test fails? Also, does anyone know if the Ruger American Pistol has been drop tested in the same way? I'm curious because it seems Sig tested the P320 to all the usual standards and passed. Makes you wonder if other manufacturers have the same...

hmm...new SR1911 in 10mm. First thoughts. - Looks nice in stainless. The black barrel is kind of neat. - Rubber grips, On a gun that is over 1K$? ...speaking of that... - How come its over 1000$ MSRP? One of the things that makes the regular SR1911 attractive is the price. If the 10mm...

Are you used to a 6 o'clock hold or a poa=poi hold? My p85 requires a 6-o'clock hold. Because of this, the bullets hit about 6in over the apparent point of aim. If you are used to a 6 o'clock hold and the gun shoots to POA (point of Aim) then it will appear to hit low. There is a good...

As far as I know, no. There isnt anything you can really do to shorten the trigger pull. You can lighten the pull somewhat by swapping out the trigger spring. It is housed in the backstrap of the grip. My P85 has a plug in the bottom of the grip that is retained by a roll pin. Drift out the...

The TFX Pro's are the ones that do away with Ski-jump profile to the front face of the rear sight and have a proper cocking ledge right? I have been looking for new sights for my SR9c and considering getting a new SR9 (full size) and part of what has held me back is lack of sight options. Do...

Hey all, I am looking for some new sights for my SR9c. Specifically, I want sights that have a cocking-ledge on the front face of the rear sight. So far the only thing I have found that fits the bill is the Trijicon HD. They look promising, but there are very few reviews on them and the ones...

Dave, Thanks for the write up. Glad to hear your new purchases are working out. I am interested in the Kimber because I have seen a few pictures of the Chamber support and, as far as I can tell, it looks to be about the best in the business. Personally, I consider this to be important with a...

Yawn, As others here have mentioned, you shouldn't rule out a 10mm. If you are able to handle a .357mag you can probably handle a 10mm. 10mm loads available range from 40S&W power on up to almost 41mag. To put it in terms of energy you are looking at 400ft-lbs up to 750ft-lbs and everything...

Just jumping into this thread, I havent read the whole thing, but.... Is anyone else underwhelmed by the new American Pistols? My first impressions (based on videos and internet pics): - Ugly - Expensive - Fewer features than the SR series. - Did I mention Ugly? - Ergonomically odd This...

Long term update. I got a longslide kit from lone wolf and tested itout a couple weeks back. Range report below. I posted this repoet over on thehighroad.com...that version has pics. (The pic links did not come thru when i cut and pasted the rest)...

I have the TFO sights for my glock. They are Ok in full-dark and when outside, but I find them dim when indoors if you dont happen to be standing right under a light source. I ended up putting them on my longslide for hunting. They do work well when you are outside and the sky throws enough...
