My experience as well.

My wife is an avid shooter who owns both a .380 and 9mm EZ and now carries the 9mm daily since it's proven the more reliable of the two. What she doesn't like about the 9mm EZ is that it's impossible to return the slide into battery using the slide stop and it requires the sling shot method...

Sharp front site and a blurry target has worked best well for me.

Threads don't get better than this one.

The trend towards "tacticool" language such as "I'm 'rocking' a (insert brand here) pistol in a (insert brand here) holster on a (insert brand here) gunbelt." That's followed fairly closely by "driving the gun". The use of those terms should be restricted only to professional tactical...

Hopefully all the aggravation is behind you and you'll have good luck with your pistol going forward. BTW as a bit of comparison, having a high end timepiece serviced by the manufacturer in Switzerland can take roughly a year from door to door.

I purchased a new Model 41 last year. Out of the box it was smooth as silk but built very tightly, and at the onset it was finicky with ammunition and only cycled 40 grain CCI standard velocity with any sort of (mediocre) reliability and wouldn't even chamber some popular ammunition. After a...

I shoot quite a bit. 9mm, .45 ACP, .22lr, .40 S&W, .223/5.56, .308, 7.62x39, and a smattering of .22 magnum, .380 and .32 ACP.

I enjoy shooting .22 because due to the dynamics, with enough practice, it's so easy to place the rounds in a single hole.

When I carry 9mm I carry 147 grain HST, but I don't believe an assailant will be able to distinguish between any of the accepted, bona fide, duty/service loadings if struck by any of them. Depth of penetration through soft tissue and bone is determined by momentum rather than energy, and the...

Good luck with the Galco, I've been enjoying good service from mine.

Bless you for posting that, although it goes against the grain and is contrary to what "everyone knows". Seriously bless you for standing up against the myth.
