Women could not handle the 10mm.

They switched to 40 cal.

Guess now that is too much.

I have occasional bear problems where I live. Had a black bear right by my front door at noon about two weeks ago. My SD has to include them. I have not had to shoot one yet, but I have to take off my shoes to count the encounters I have had. I had two two legged encounters when I lived in Florida, but here in the Colorado Rockies I have only had bear problems, though moose and mountain lion are possibilities too.

That is definitely not CA compliant. It has an open trigger guard. To be CA compliant the trigger guard must be completely closed.

GLOCK 23 40 is my bedstand go to weapon and I pray never have to employ it. However, Glocks are not for beginners, training is crucial for those who choose Glock for home or personal defense.

Wimps.

Now that I have it tuned, accurate and reliable, 460 Rowland is my EDC. Powerful enough if I run into a mean black bear. Ten rounds per each Chip McCormick mag for serious social situations.

Glocks are not for beginners,

Absolutely and if you're not comfortable carrying a chambered round in your Glock, there are other many other fine double-action handguns available.

I love my Sig P220 Extreme. After that my Springfield XDM 45ACP.

Wow, 600 plus rounds before they had to change out the guide rod and then another 600 rounds.

And that was full auto.

Love it.

I wonder if it’s anything to do with the new delicate snowflakes being recruited. More rounds and less recoil.

Anti-gunners, PETA, BLM, whatever... they’re ALL the same group of assh*les.

They ALL look alike to me. :^)

RE pink camo (for the ladies):

My daughter wants a pink AR. She loves to shoot my M4, butI told her she’ll have to get her own in pink... or “Hello Kitty”... haha!

My top three in no particular order are: Glock, Sig Sauer and FN.

That's the problem with those three: the order changes with the wind.

Glock is rock solid, but less than ergonomic "perfection." Sig is like a refined Glock, but a little bit more finicky about what you feed it. And FN is a little too "thoroughbred" to play in the dirt with the other two ;o)

A friend had the larger flock, fires it very often and after firing he sprays it with a CLP. He has never cleaned it in thec10+ years he’s bienedbit. It had become a sciensr project. I am still impressed but haven’t jumped.

They need to carry hammer fired pistols or DA/SA. Especially the agencies that minimally train their agents. Way to many negligent discharges.

Disagree.

NDs are prima faci evidence said agencies training regimes ARE NOT up to common civilian standards, and need to be enhanced!

I have a lot of guns, but never had a Glock. That video made me a believer.

I love 1911’s and have a few Kimber 1911’s and a Sig 1911, but the aluminum framed versions cannot even take +P ammo. And running it dirty? Forget it. I love 1911’s but they are limited in what they can do compared to a Glock.
