The trigger is the biggest complaint you will hear. The firing pin is the biggest weak link. I've seen and heard of them breaking at 100 rounds or not having problems with 1000's of rounds. THP, Decatur PD, and Meigs Co SO used to issue the Sigma 40 for duty use but they have all switched. I don't know of a failure in the field but they did occur at the range.

The Gen4 32's have been out for about 3months now.

There's a pretty good deal on a 239 in the classifieds here. Your right about the XD 357 Sigs in the service calibers only. Do you have anything thing that can take take a 357Sig barrel? To me that is the way to go.

I fInd my LCR trigger possibly better than my 642. I just tend to short stroke my LCR trigger. I have a S&W model 34-1 that has a better trigger than both but it may have been worked before. Taurus 22 revolvers have some of the worst triggers I've ever felt.

The kit is good but it seems really high in price. It has basically the equivalent items to the Lee Anniversary kit but for twice the money. RCBS probably is a little better quality though.

The two LCR 22's I've dry fired felt like they had a trigger like my 38.

I would love to have one but since I reload 38's it's hard to justify. LCR's in general a pretty hard to beat.

I'm glad to hear someone else bring this up. As a cop I hate the guys that ask what I'm carrying and then tell me they would carry a 45 if they were me. They always include that my Glock 40 doesn't have knock down power. No joke I had a guy say knock down power about 15 times during a 5 minute conversation. When I feel like it I mess with people and act like all I know is I'm carrying a Glock. I told one guy a Glock 22 but I didn't remember what caliber it was. Oh and according to some I'm putting my life at risk carrying a Glock. Point is only the annoying ones care about what I'm carrying so I don't really want them waistIng my time. On forums I get to choose my conversations.

Oh, the advice I was giving is directly related to the CW45 and the P45. I'm not sure on the PM45 but it will take the longer of the kahr 45acp magazines so it may work the same with a 1911 magazine. The TP45 , if you can even find one, is supposed to work with std 8rd 1911 magazines. I have been told Kahr 9mm's can not use 1911 magazines. Your stuck with the Kahr mags.

Of all the 1911 magazines that I know of, using a Kahr follower instead decreases capacity by 1 round.

The county might possibly tell you over the phone if you do have a warrant. Some Counties will and some wil not.

http://kahrtalk.com/showthread.php?t=3317 This is what you need to read. Honestly, just stick with Kahr magazines unless you have a 1911 magazine laying around.

The Mecgear magazines are reported to be the most reliable, the 7rd magazines will sit flush. If you have trouble most 1911 magazines need to be filed a little to clear the extractor and will need a Kahr follower, but many people say a 1911 follower works in a Kahr factory magazine.

Yes but some work better than others. I will get you a link. I have used the Kimber mags but had to get a Kahr follower for it to be 100%.

Yeah the XD and the M&p use the same upper for compact and service models.

After many failed attempts I am not a 45 guy either. Let me throw out there that lots of 5 and 6 shot revolver guys carry lightweight (13-15oz) duarable(reliable under all consitions) guns that are often cheaper than $550+. The two carry revolvers I have are often carried as back up guns or carried with a speedloader in the pocket. My dad has a revolver that the rounds have been stored in it for 10yrs. Would you store a XD for 10yrs and expect the mag to feed in a emergency? People carry revolvers when they want simplicity and people carry autos when they want capacity. Historically 6 rounds is enough for a civilian self defense shooting but when your situation comes do you know how many rounds you will need? XDS' will sell but I don't think they will break any records. I may even try one myself.

Correct, Welcome to H&K ownership.

If I were you guys that can't carry at work I would have a LCP velcrowed under the dash or clipped up under the seat. Regardless I would have a deeply stashed firearm somewhere.

I feel very little similarity between a G30 and a G19/23. The 30 feels too top heavy and I so badly want to like them. I am a huge fan of 9 and 40 Glocks so I find the G36 more familiar to me. I would pick up a M&P 45c if the deal were right. S&W doesn't offer as good of a deal to Law Enforcement as Glock does so I have a hard time justifying paying retail for M&P's. Some of the country's largest LE supplies stores have dropped S&W's from inventory due to problems in negotiations. I had up until a couple of days ago a Kahr CW45 that was rediciously accurate but I let it go because of difficulty shooting reloads. I also think the XD Compact is a fine handgun I should have bought one when they were send 3 additional magazines free. Some of the 3rd Gen Smith autos are supposed to be great 45's as well as people speak highly of the SIG 245 and 220 Carrry.

Discontinued now but looks like a Glock 29 with the 9rd magazine.

Wow! It only took about two months for them to appear.

I always thought the 10 round magazines for the 30's were stupid. I never could find a 9rd flush fit when I had my G30's

I believe buying OD's to be collectors is over but it's a good deal. My Glock collector friend believes OD 29's and 30's are the least common, especially without a rail. This is according to him. I personally can't stand 20/21's and 29/30's.

My IPhone believes it's smarter than a fifth grader with its autocorrect.

I just wanted to stir up trouble. That's the only picture I could find. I was emailed the story.
