Could it possibly be because you prefer 9mm over .45? |

Lol I completely missed .40 S&W being called "Satan's ammo"
If I were you I'd avoid my LCP and heavier .357 magnum loads also! I can barely tell the difference between .40 and the other calibers. It's there, but it's very small. Things get so hyperboled-to-death on forums! No disrespect intended, I just find that really funny.

Except .45 GAP. Promising, but you've gotta know a lost cause when you see one |

I happen to like .45 GAP, and have found sources of ammo that aren't that much more costly .45 A.C.P. I really like my Glock 38 -- and don't care for the grip size of the fullsize Glock .45. |

Hey, if the round survives I'll be happy, I think it was very well-conceived. Just nobody wants to be the guy who bought the Betamax player

40 has the capacity and grip size advantage on the 45, 38 super/semi rimmed, oh behave!

Like I said before, a revolver is less affected by feed jams or ejection issues. Revolvers are not affected by one's grip. The revolver isn't reliant upon recoil momentum to function properly. A semi-auto's reliability is also dependent upon the good condition of the magazine that is inserted into it...a revolver doesn't have that problem. And a revolver is not affected by reduced size as can happen with the semi-auto.

You cannot seriously blame any type of gun if you loaded a squib into it.

Quote"As an inquisitive soul, John Browning, if he were still involved in firearms design and manufactiring, would probabally hold several patents that had to do with 'plastic' guns. He was inventive."
Conversely had Gaston Glock been a master gunsmith instead of a plastics chemist maybe....(please don't tell me) |

Which is best? Depends upon what I'm doing. For range work and plinking my 1911s are great fun but too heavy and low capacity for CCW or HD consideration. For CASS type shooting, the SA Cav gets the nod. However, for CCW my G23 is always behind my hip and for HD and woods walking my custom G20 longslide is my choice. A BMW makes a nice road car but it's a terrible choice for hauling dirt where a pickup would be a great choice, however, neither would be a good bet for hauling a collection of kids or for off-roading. The right tool for the job makes the most sense. Ignore the gun snob telling you that his choice is perfect for everything. |

First, Glock's polymer frame flexes which softens and spreads the recoil impulse while the steel frame doesn't. This reduces both felt recoil and muzzle flip. Second, Glock's design puts the bore axis much lower than steel framed designs which reduces the muzzle flip because the recoil impulse is more in line with the wrist. Together, these produce a much lower felt recoil and much less muzzle flip even when down to the final round. |

I stared at it dumbfounded like "did this really just happen?" Dropped the mag, emptied the round, and tried again..And it happened again. I put it right back in the safe..I'll deal with that later. It has 300 rounds through it. It functioned flawlessly then. I don't know what it's deal is now. I remember thinking as I put it back, about this thread and I mumbled to myself.. "Souless jerks" My SIG P226 and my SIG 1911 XO are my babies. I love them. I feel more attached to them. Anything steel or aluminum. My Gold Cup, 70 Series, SA 1911, High-Power, you name it. Alright, done rambling. |

If it keeps up you'll have to send it in. Curious if you still send it to S&W or Walther at this point given their contract expiring.
