I find it humorous that Snopes calls a piece of history "false," (obvious from actually reading it), and sad that you're waving a surrender flag.   Tsk, tsk.   Of COURSE it's not a current news story! It's a current style telling of an important piece of our history. Stand down with your surrender.

Thanks, guys. I believe y'all have given me what I needed to know. I knew you would have the info I needed!

So, Federal makes it. Great, thanks.   Just trying to educate myself for buyers; I know SOMEone will ask about using them for defense...

The Golden Sabre is ball shaped, so it had no issue. I was just concerned about the +P part.   AND, this is just hand feeding, NOT firing.

Wel, they're not mine. So I won't be changing anything. I think the lack of feed ramp is the biggest issue. It's just kinda, "hello, barrel here" at the top of the mag. No problem with ball stuff.

Jonnin, apparently whatever round is used, it needs to be shaped like ball ammo. I tried to hand cycle some Hornady Critical Defense; slide won't go home. Too pointed. Tried some Golden Sabre (+P), and it hand fed just fine. What standard pressure defense loads with a ball type shape are available? Do you know, offhand?

glock55, so this is the proper category. Pretty wide range from 1946 to 83: Model B-Super Made from 1946 to the end of classic-model production in 1983, model Bs with Super upgrades were produced. The major change is the replacement of the swinging link with a Sig 210 (or modern Star) style closed cam path integral to the barrel. Related to this, a full-length guide rod with captive spring, and a quick takedown lever were added as well. All of these models have a magazine safety, but one slightly different from the later S variants, and the extractor is modified to double as a loaded-chamber indicator. Additionally, the sights are improved in shape to make them easier to see, and minor changes were made to the trigger system.

Need some input from experts. Received 4 older 9mm STAR Model Super B's. Don't know how to date them, because they don't have any symbol markings, just serial numbers.   Would they be able to handle +P defensive ammo, NOT on any kind of regular basis, just to be ready to use in a defensive situation? Or should they be kept as strictly ball ammo range toys?

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..........

Well, after looking at Comp-Tac, Galco, DeSantis, ad nauseam, the ONLY kydex paddle I found that looks close to what I like was here:   http://www.craftholsters.com   I hope it works... I'll let ya know...

I had one. It was not bad, but not great. Worst part was the rear sight danced all over the place. Every shot landed somewhere else. The trigger pull in full DA was way too heavy.

Metal framed leaves out a LOT of excellent choices.   The Ruger 9E is an excellent poly frame, inexpensive, 17+1 choice. The offerings from Canik are great, as well.

It is for sale. But I'd be very cautious. Couple cars got hit behind the backstop.  :panic:

I... NEED... MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a daughter in dental school at Remington. She has an essay question, "Which of the ten Bill of Rights would you be willing to give up, and why?" Can I ask WTF that has to do with TEETH?!?!?! I told her "NONE. You are an American citizen, and you're not giving up ANY of your rights, and no one's taking them away from you, either!"

This. It is the best. Having said that... I still G19 it. And I don't know why. lol

To me, it's a non issue. They've never been engaged on any of mine. Unnecessary. Plenty safe without them. BUT, for those of a mind to, it's there.

Gotcha.

Wow. It ain't hard. It's NOT a MKII.

This. And a really great trigger to begin with. No additional work or parts needed.

Ruger all the way.

Never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, NEVER again.   But thanks for those that will.

Sent it back. We'll see what happens.
