LOL! But of course you can either pick up a copy of G&A or subscribe to get the results. Anyone out there with the financial means to subscribe to mags anymore? LOL!
What kinda comparison is this?! No HnK?!
They didn’t test my carry piece? ... The Bersa UC Pro 9mm? Not a consumer test, a manufacturer’s test probably. The Glock 43 is pushing lots of these ‘tests’.
Great test. Wish they didn’t blow it by using low lead, 147 grain, 950fps pud loads.
Do this whole test and use the most oddball ammo possible. I know that the mini Kimber requires heavy projectiles to work, but those others don’t.
So not a useful test really.
I cancelled my subscription to Guns and Ammo after Metcalf’s column.
I resubscribed a month ago but still have not seen that article. Maybe I will get it Tuesday.
After more than 60 years of shooting, I believe that for whatever reason, double stack mags in 9mm are more reliable than single stack.
I would like to see the results.
No High Point?
There is a small number of enthusiasts who love these debates and testing studies. But the best gun for anyone is the one they feel most comfortable carrying, practicing with and shooting. If it can’t be drawn and used smoothly in a critical situation it might as well be a paperweight.
What’s a 9mm?
Well,we tried to like a Kahr P380, but even after a trip back to the mfr., the damned thing wouldn’t run a single six shot mag w/o a malf. We bought both a Sig 238 and a Glock 42. the Sig is simply the best of the lot. Guess we will have to look at the 938 (and the Glock 43).
And the winner was?? I wanted to find out how my (previous) weapons scored. But, you know, after that terrible boating accident, the question is moot.
I hate it when sites do this!!!
In my sight, they all look like polymer glokasms.
1911’s are single stack, are they not?
Lugers are single stack, no?
Such is why I stay to ‘j frame-itis’, whether SandW,
Colt, or Taurus. The discussion allows more calibers,
five or six shot, and of course, bullet designs too
unwieldy for semi auto pistols.
I’ve been very happy with my 9mm Shield. Accurate, reliable, conceals well. It’s shot all brass cased stuff I’ve tried with it. I don’t use steel cased ammo in semi auto handguns.
Now my Kahr CW9, which is a nice gun, it’s finicky about ammo. But this week I’ve been to the range 4 times, including this morning trying to determine why all of a sudden I am getting what appear to be so (at first glance) many duds. With 4 different bands of high quality FMJ. I took all of the rounds with the striker mark clearly there, and every single on fired in the Shield.
I am now guessing I will have to disassemble the slide and replace the striker spring. Unless someone here is a Kahr expert and has another suggestion.
The only change I'd like for Walther to make is the magazine release. It was hard to get used to.
I got a Ruger LC9S. Great pistol. Has, from what I can tell looking at the other pistols, smoother lines. It draws really well from a pocket or IWB holster. It’s nicely balanced and easy to fire.
I see they just went over the XDs as if it disappeared in the middle of the test. I have carried the XDM .40 cal. full size for the last five years 16 hours a day 365. I go to the range twice a month and shoot 100 to 150 rounds. No malfs or any other problem in five years. Only problem is with 16 round mag and one in the tube it’s a big heavy pig. I want to get a smaller carry and will go to the sub compact XD mod2 in 9mm and hope it works out as well as the XDM has. The XDM compact is so close to the full size I think it’s a waste of time to mess with.
Oh wow. Thx for posting this.
Y’all are all going to probably laugh, but one of my finest shooting 9mm handguns is a Llama Jordanian 9mm, no joke. Also, East German Makarov eats any .380 (It has been converted) put in it and spits it out accurately to target.
