Gnomes can slow or stop time like Neo in the Matrix, so this would do little to stop the Gnome hoards once the decend upon us.
Nice looking peice. Very Mad Max. Not certain what good an "infinately adjustable sighting system" is on a 6" pistol. Its not a bench weapon for extreme accuracy, so that might be a tad bit overkill. The trigger & hammer sounds lovely though....

I've fondled NightHawks 1911's....purdy nice. Not Ed Brown nice, but not bad.

Meh. Dirt shooters and fondlers. Nothin' wrong with fondling and shootin' dirt but...
I like real shooters (full race, too) or real self defense schitt. Working on this....my first striker-fired rig. The new single-stacker from Walther....PPS-M2

I'm thinking about selling my HK -91, then buying a Ed Brown 1911,or possibly a Wilson Combat. I can't believe what these HK's are going for. I've never owned a 1911, to me they are the sexiest hand guns on the planet.

No eye protection shooting that close to the door.

Before checking out, a man has to have a 1911 and a CZ 75. Special mention to Beretta 92 and Browning Hi-Power. All full size of course and no fawking plastic, striker fired crap.

I've never cared for Beretta, and I'm not even sure why.

Sounds like they are going straight after Glock 19. Reportedly even fits G19 holsters. The minimal muzzle flip is nice and add the better trigger, they might have a winner. A little heaver than the Glock, though.

Glock stock triggers suck, I always upgrade them.

Nice USP, another classic.
Yeah, the G43 did not turn me on at all. I went with the PPS-M2 because almost all of the single-stack reviews had it #1. I have big mitts and with the 8 round mag, it feels like a full size. Comes with a 6 rd, 7 rd and 8 round mag.
It is a refinement of the PPS-M1 (which I would not like).
Getting used to a striker fired is a little bit of a process. Initially I pulled to the left. Now I can scare the schitt out of a quarter sized dot at 50'....sometimes hitting it. For a 3.2" this thing shoots where you point it.

SIG 229 is showing up often in the police trade-in market. Mostly in .40's as the cops go back to 9mm.
Interesting ammo test results here.... http://www.luckygunner.com/labs/self-defense-ammo-ballistic-tests/ I think that the first pic you see is a Federal HST. They (HST) test very well and +P seems to make no difference. Except for 380, caliber makes little difference now.
I'll probably never own a .40 unless a smokin deal on a SIG trade-in pops up.

I changed my carry gun to a Kahr P9, super well made with tight tolerances.You need to run at least 400-500 rounds before it's on target. The Kahr's have a real narrow slide and it only weighs 18 ounces. It replaced my SW 642 air weight hammerless .38, a sweet revolver, but I wanted a few extra rounds. The Kahr has a really smooth double action trigger, it takes some getting use to. Anyone looking for a carry gun should take a test ride.
