I would agree with the experienced people on here, a compact handgun is far from the ideal first handgun. I understand that some people only plan to buy one gun and need it for carry purposes, but newbies really need to start on a more stable platform and learn all the ins and outs of gun usage...

The only CCW SA model I feel comfortable carrying concealed is the XD-E for all the reasons you stated, I'm a fanboy too. Are there better options out there, probably but what I have is what I got to work with, unless someone gives me the better option for free. I don't nearly get out to the...

Browning did, up until he passed away ... it was the P35 (Hi-Power).

The blacked-out Emissary is looking better and heading in the right direction but it's not so much a game changer. Come on Springfield, make it a DS in 10mm and you just might make a lot of sales, I'll be in for one. I mean, it already looks the part, lets just follow through!

I would understand if you didn't like polymer guns, but if you haven't already, look into the XDM Elite in 10mm. It's not as snappy as you might think, carries quite a few cartridges, and is fairly accurate. I'm no expert like you but I would definitely recommend the XDM to people wanting to...

Been there, done that, didn't care for it. Learned a few things from the article, perhaps I need to revisit wearing one on the ankle, now considering it is cooler weather and wearing long clothing. And to think I just got some new socks for Christmas, this could work ?!?

Hmmm .... if you really think about it, perhaps it was an unloaded question ... maybe that was the point. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

FWIW, I deep conceal carry a XD-E with one in the chamber, hammer not cocked, manual safety On ... to me it feels weird carrying a striker fired pistol cocked and chamber loaded, carrying appendix waiting for my pecker to take a round, no thanks. By the way, training and practice really is the...

In all the years I've been shooting ARs, I've used it once at the range after a press-check, otherwise its been unnecessary.

Well, isn't that an interesting turn in events, a 9mm Operator. Completely my opinion but I think this was a missed opportunity, the DS already fills this role, why roll back to a single stack? What I hope they had at least considered was a 10mm Operator, wouldn't that have made more sense...

Sorry, but the whole point was really about the laws of physics, and if you come across people that deny the science, then there is a pretty good chance those people are flat earthers. 🤣

Interesting article, failed to mention the matching trigger guard, but anyway those would look even better if Magpul included matching magazines in those colors. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Just confirmed, the two provided magazines for my XDM Elite 10mm holds 16 rounds total, perhaps the newer mags hold an extra round?!? TBH, all of my 10mm magazines are loaded with 15 so that way the spring is not fully compressed.

For self-defense, I hadn't considered the need to shoot past 50yds with a handgun, guess it's time to pull out that 10mm and practice out to 75 and 100. You never know when you might get ambushed by a marijuana grower and get your gonads blown off. :rolleyes:

Hey, you're finally getting there, depth and expansion which can only be attributed to the transfer of kinetic energy. I don't know who a Roberts is, you're going to have to back up your statements with a real citation to information that explains about the "debunking of energy dump theory"...

ROFL, I'm not backpedaling at all, I'm pointing out your absurdities. Policing agencies all over the world have used ballistic gel as the de facto test medium comparable to the density of an animals innards, excluding bone. Please cite your sources which debunks energy dump theory, I'd love to...

Nope, you're making a bad assumption, I clearly wrote "bullet mass at speed" ... and I never mentioned the type of bullet, I'm not an expert but I can see the science with my eyes. Also, you wrote that penetration kills without defining what is being penetrated. Obviously in most cases a...

🤣😆🤣😆🤣 That might be the funniest thing I read today, thank you. Apparently, you've never seen in slow-motion a bullet penetrating into ballistics gel, you know where the wound cavity is 15x the size of the bullet and the gel block jumps off the table. Yeah, where you can literally see the...

I'm not arguing against your .41 magnum fanboy claims, it is a powerful round. I'm just pointing out that your observations are skewed, you're still comparing two magnum cartridges to a standard cartridge. And arguably it's not about sectional density, it's more about the transfer of energy at...

Not that I really want to be part of this conversation, nor do I know a lot about Underwood Ammunition, but your point has a couple holes in it. First that a comparison of only one ammunition manufacturer doesn't prove much, only that is how their ammunition is loaded, regardless how all other...
