      Is the g19 obsolete

      Going to stir the pot here. Is the glock 19 obsolete? Back 20 years ago it was probably one of the best pistols. However for concealed carry there seems to be 1.5 stack guns like the p365xl or hellcat or even a g48 with a shield arms magazine And for duty use, bigger higher capacity guns...

      Why all the hate on .40

      So i just got a police surplus glock 22, gun has minimal holster wear and looks unfired for like $260, but everyone seems to hate .40 with a passion, but why? I understand there's more recoil and it can be if it's happy, and in compact and subcompact guns it sucks to shoot, but it doesn't seem...

      So my father in law has a 500 acre hunting lease that has some corn fields and good long sight lines.

      Best 1911 magazine

      With the approach of my 30th birthday, I guess I fell for the 30 year old boomer meme and bought a springfield 1911. What would the most reliable 8 round magazine be? This isn't going to be a primary carry/defensive gun, but I am going probably have it in my car a lot of the time as I cheaply...

      I just moved back to Northwest Indiana after spending 3 years in Texas. Aside from the cold and lack of good breakfast burritos it's nice to be back. I'm originally from Lake county and i have been a member here so this is not so much an introduction as a reintroduction

      Russian ELCAN?

      PSU 1-4 So a while back I messed around a bit with an ELCAN sight and I really liked the 1/4x style sight with the horseshoe and BDC reticle and the ability to switch between magnification without eye relief changes. But I really hate the $2k+ pricetag. Also I have astigmatism and cant use...
