    The ‘Race’ to Call 911? What You Should Do When Reporting a Self-Defense Incident

    Sometimes, just having a CCW on file makes you "guilty" in face of some people:

    Glock 17 the best home defense handgun?

    I saw many more videos of females having issues with Glock ejecting, but I don't feel like researching again. Common to that trend - smaller hands, less power to grip, less power to resist the recoil. I wanted my wife to be able to shoot our gun, if I am not at home, without issues like that...

    Glock 17 the best home defense handgun?

    Training and muscle memory. Stronger grips. They are issued for free to them. They get used in military to them and then continue to use them in civil life. Nothing unexpected there. Usual owner cannot afford that much training. Females especially will limp wrist more. I spent $400 in ammo last...

    Glock 17 the best home defense handgun?

    They tend to have less strong grips and more malfunctions, I would not say that Glock is good for them:

    Glock 17 the best home defense handgun?

    That would imply that other guns are not reliable somehow. I have run 300-400 rounds trough my Hellcat and 200 trough my Sig P365XL and I didn't have a malfunction due to the gun. Zero. Yes I hit the magazine eject button by mistake on the Hellcat (grip small for my hand, added a sleeve) and I...

    Ammo for Hellcat

    I had this impression too. Definitely more grey stuff on my hands after shooting 50 of them. As you saw, they have a harder primer too. I am curious to see what muzzle speed meter would say.

    Hellcat primer drag?

    The new Sig striker tip looks very... engineered. Personally I think it's a bit of a beauty, the beveled angle looks like it will throw "back" the striker out from the hole when the barrel starts to rotate vertically. Also I have read that they reduced the protrusion of the tip out of breech...

    Ammo for Hellcat

    I have run a lot of different ammo trough it and I only had issues with a specific Czech ammo, STV Golden Bee 9mm Luger 124 Grain FMJ. Note another Czech ammo, Sellier & Bellot worked perfectly. As did anything made by Federal or Independence Ammo.

    Hellcat primer drag?

    Thanks to everyone that helped in this thread. PS: For the individuals that keep minimizing my question with "your are new to guns", and "all compact pistols do that", and similar, this is a pic of the cases spent today in my brand-new Sig 356 (mfg date Jan 2021, with their new beveled...

    Hellcat primer drag?

    Initially my emails were rejected straight-up as being spam. At least now I didn't get that message, so hopefully they are getting back to normal.

    Hellcat primer drag?

    OK, that was just an example of: Because one mechanical item worked, doesn't guarantee a similar one cannot fail. Gosh... Everywhere I see pictures of primer drag online, it's less than in my picture.

    Hellcat primer drag?

    I did email them. They didn't reply back.

    Hellcat primer drag?

    Maybe. But I would expect that to break the front of the striker... where the smashing action happens. Not the rear, that's used to retract and keep the striker retracted. So, to the same tune, if, lets say, Hyundai says that they run the car and THEY had no problems, it means that your Hyundai...

    9mm ammo available at Midway USA

    Got two 50 boxes yesterday from Federal website. Max is two boxes, shipping is $12... total $70. It is what it is.

    Hellcat issue

    Mine has a rattle in the slide, when shaken longitudinally. Sounds like the firing pin assembly moves. I thought that is normal, until I got a Sig P365. No noises there. Don't know if it means anything. PS: My casings show markings of primer drag that I think is excessive. Again... don't know if...

    Hellcat primer drag?

    And I have posted a video of a Hellcat striker that broke after less than 500 rounds. maybe not related to dragging, but here it is, just as a counter-example of your 20,000 round statement and implication that ALL guns will last the same: On the same logic, if your neighbor has the same car...

    Hellcat primer drag?

    Why is the length of the barrel relevant? The short recoil distance (traveled by barrel locked on slide) isn't the same? Here is another "sample of one":
