Interesting concept. Sort of like a golf coach/teacher. Frame by frame video of your swing and analyze it as you go. I sure there is a market for something like this in a large metropolitan city the size of Nashville. Maybe someone who teaches in the small group environment? So, what would you be willing to pay for this service if it existed?

+1.

I agree with Erik88. My personal experience has been nothing but pure shooting satisfaction with all of the Glocks I've owned, I think I'm on either number 9 or 10 now. I've never had a failure to eject, failure to extract or failure to fire. The irony of this is, I've never purchased a Glock new, all of mine have been used, which means someone else put a bunch of ammo through it before I did, and still no problems. I understand they are not for everyone, but my experience is, they sure are reliable.

How about a compact Glock in 10mm? You could always buy a .40 LWD barrel to share the common ammo with the G27.

[ Smith also has their Body Guard 380 with a built in laser but they are rather new to the market and I have not read much about them either pro or con, I do know the laser part is only guaranteed for 1 year which kinda stinks IMO. Good point Sgt Joe, I read an article in one of the gun mags to day that was doing a review of both the .380 and the .38 special versions of the S&W Body Guards. They mentioned that S&W might consider offering these without the laser in the near future depending upon the popularity of them. I think they should have done it the other way around. Build a good affordable gun, then entice those who want lasers with a future product. My $0.02.

I've had two Kel-Tec P3AT's and both were good pistols. No problems with either one after the initial break in period. I now own a Ruger LCP and I have to admit to being a little more partial to it. It's not just that the LCP has a nicer fit and finish, but also the LCP has been reliable right out of the box. With the exception of some cheap Russian ammo, I've not had any trouble from it and I've run about 200 rounds of various brands of FJM and JHP with no trouble whatsoever. As others have said, it's a pistol you can almost always have with you. +1 for the LCP.

It's possible I may have misunderstood him, maybe that was his cost. It was loud and several people were all speaking at the same time. Does seem like some of the others have seen prices about $100 over that. I've not personally seen a price. I did understand him to say it was sold the first day he had it in the store to the first customer he showed it to. I do agree they will be very popular.

I had dinner with some friends last week who own a local gun shop. they got one in and it sold the same day. I think he said the price was around $500 plus tax and BIC fee.

I've had both a G22 and a G23 and used only the Lone Wolf Barrel and a 9mm magazine and shot hundreds of rounds with no problems whatsoever. I did not change out any other parts. The brass seems to go in about ten different directions, but the gun shoots just fine for plinking. In fact, I've read on other forums where some folks just use the .40 magazine, it's just not quite as reliable feeding as the 9mm magazines. Get yourself a LWD barrel and a G17/19/26 magazine and shoot to your hearts content! It's the best of both worlds. The 9mm for target shooting and .40 for SD.

Depends on how much time I have to spend at the range. Usually, it's my Glock 19 which is also my main ccw, followed by the Ruger LCP and if there is time, the Ruger MK II 22/45 in .22 LR. I love to shoot all of them, even the little LCP is fun for me despite what folks say about it not being intended as a range gun. I feel like if I'm going to carry it, I want to be dang sure I know how to use it and how to be most efficient with it. Can't do that without burning some ammo in it.

Interesting links. This reminds me of a friend who is a paramedic trainer. Their favorite saying on the "Gut Wagon" is "air goes in and out. Blood goes round and round. Any deviation is fatal."

I would also recommend you to check out ElsiePeaforum.com. this is a web site created by and supported essentially for LCP owners. There are some really good threads about ammo, accessories, mods to the guns, etc. It's very informative. Some very good information especially for brand new Ruger LCP owners. Enjoy and stay safe!

For a easy to carry, get off of me gun, it would be hard to argue with either the Kel-Tec P3AT or the LCP. I currently have the LCP and it has been extremely reliable out of the box. Over 200 rounds and no problems what so ever. For what it's designed to be, it's a great choice.

The additional training sounds like a very good decision for liability purposes, both for you as individuals and for the church. And as JReedEsq said, it's a great way to serve your church and your community. Congratulations.

I had Talon Grips on my G22. Loved the way they felt when I shot the gun, but they made carrying concealed somewhat difficult as they rubbed and got caught on my shirts, or jackets which covered the gun and holster. That's just me, others might have better experiences as they are quite popular.

I can't personally vouch for this but I have seen a number of people who have used it and it does not appear to add much, if any, thickness to the grips. It's called AGrip. Here's the link. AGrip

congrats on your new purchase. I've had two G23's and loved them both. They are dependable and utterly reliable and you've chosen a good caliber. got pics?

FWIW, I've got a G19 right now and I'm trying to find someone with a G26 for a trade. I've shot both and the accuracy is comparable. The G26 is just easier to conceal for me personally. If I'm going to wear it owb, it's no big deal, but otherwise, the G26 just plain hides better for most folks. I think you'll like either one, the G27 just has more appeal to me. YMMV.

How did you like the G26? What were the pros and cons for you with that gun? Why did you trade it? If you were using a mag extension, or a larger mag with that gun, you know the G23 isn't that much larger in the grip. On the other hand, you can make the G27 grip longer, but you can't make the G23 shorter.

Uncle George's Wallet Holster I don't have personal experience with this holster, but I've read several good reviews on both KTOG and LCP forums. Talon Training Group also sells one similar but theirs is about $20 more. If you do buy one, please do a quick review to let us know how you like it. I've always carried my P3AT and LCP in the front pocket, but I'm giving serious consideration to moving to back pocket carry.

Gentlemen, if i'm not mistaken, I don't think the SAAMI specifies a .380 round in a +P rating. I believe Buffalo Bore is one of those who has an extremely hot load which they might be advertising as +P, but I'm not sure such an animal currently exists. You're doing the prudent thing to avoid it. Even if it works fine, a steady diet of it might not be good for the long term for your PK380.

You might want to do a quick search over at ElsiePeaForum.com. I'm willing to bet the folks there have experienced the same problem and can make some suggestions. I have a KelTec P3AT (the original LCP) and I know the mag release does extend just a little farther out than I like. I have read where some folks on the KT board have filed theirs down, but to be safe you might want to check with a group from the Ruger folks. I know Wolff makes recoil and mag springs for these little guns, but not sure if they offer a mag release spring or not. Might also be worth checking into. Good luck.

Welcome to TGO!

Good show. I didn't see the one last night, but the one earlier in the week, repeat maybe, about the Recon Marines was really good. I liked their motto. "this is gonna suck".

Last time I checked Gunbroker they seemed to be selling around $280 for a blued slide on the low end. You can expect to pay about $25 or $30 more for hard chromed version. Good luck.
