Generally 140 grain and heavier magnum loads traveling less than 1300 FPS are less prone to issues. Any 158 gr should be safe as long as it is traveling less than 1250 FPS.

I would venture to say no that it will not fix it. However, I would give it a try to see if it is a fix. Glock has been really reluctant to admitt that any of the later model Glocks have an issue. I bet they get a couple of hundred complaints a day about BTF.

Lee Hand Loader For Smaller Cartridges?
Patton replied to Sidewinder's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
I just saw the first one I have ever seen in person at Academy this morning. -
I found that Kahrs do not like them either.
-
I was asking Hipower if his was a 3" or 4". The 4" ironically are even less common.

HCP/CCW - What are you preparing for?
Patton replied to D3vo's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
The impact of IED/VBIED blast is what I am afraid may happen on our own soil. I think there is a very slim chance of terrorist being able to carry out another hijacked airplane event. I guarantee you that they are here and that they are planning. -
Ruger ruined a few semi autos by installing locks as well.
-
Taurus autos are hit or miss(pt92 is almost always a hit though). If you get a good one there nothing better though.

To me Rugers are fine but they are not a Smith. I never cared for Ruger triggers, odd sizes when trying to find holsters, and the extra weight. For those that do not know Rugers have to be built heavier and thicker because Rugers are cast steel where Smiths are forged steel. I am not saying a Ruger sp101 is stronger or weaker than a stainless .357 j frame.

As far a breaking the polymer? If so the only issue I ever heard of was a Border Patrol Agent who fell off an ATV onto his H&K breaking it.

No, a 3" model 13/65 is such a better multi-purpose gun. I would argue the S&W 19 statement statement before I would argue the Glock 19 statement. I have always thought the Glock 19 was the newer S&W model 10. The Glock 22 is more like the S&W 19 on a power level, versatility with shooting smaller calibers(barrel change Needed for the Glock), and recognized as the most widely used LE handgun in the US. The model 10 and 19 are just so much more likely to be in the hands of civilians. Ironically, the model 22 gets plagued with being "not built strong enough for high pressure" just like the old model 19's.

I have read that six casings were recovered. There is a discussion on GT about the handgun used, and we believe it was a 40s&w. The chief is seen on a press release wearing a Sig. The county, I don't remember which one it is, uses M&P's in 40s&w. The weapon used was a Sig 226/40s&w.
-
I do not know for sure, but if you read into the complaints the issues are split between both Gen3's and Gen4's.

It's all for good fun. I hear the same thing but it is worth noting that we do not have a single LE agency in TN using or issuing 9mm. We only have a handful that will allow officers to buy and carry a 9mm. TVA and DOE have some 9mm because there was a time when federal contractors could only use 9mm and they are not bothering switching over to something else. The newest bunch of TVA contractors and agents all have Glocks in 40. I have heard DOE is a mix. There is also a large percentage of Fed's that have switched to .40 in just the last few years: NCIS(226), Army CID(229/239), USCG(229), and a few smaller groups. the entire Department of Homeland Security is supposed to be in 40S&W guns before much longer. This includes the ICE officers who still had a few Sig 228 and the few Air Marshals left who had .357sig( Ihave a friend at each agency). Oddlly enough, 357 sig is still growing in TN but I do not understand how. A few of the formerly .40 using departments in TN have switched .45 acp and .357 sig. The only "New" departments stood up in TN recently have chose Glocks in 40. It appears to still be up in controversy but Georgia State Patrol will be departing away from G37/G39(45GAP) to possibly G17 and G42. I heard the demo model G17's sent to the agency were full of fail; so the switch has been delayed.
-
One day you will see the light, but I am not naive enough to only have only one caliber of anything.
-
I like being able to find ammo during shortages, using the most popular LE round in the United States, the ability to shoot two other calibers with only a barrel change, knowing that if I had to use fmj ammo it is at least capable of stopping a threat, and not having to try and confine everyone my 9mm is as capable as proven calibers.
-
There is only one thing that beats a Glock 19: a Glock 23 with a 9mm barrel. If I were buying a Glock 19 I would find a used one with a serial number lower than a M-prefix unless I was able to buy a new one under the Blue Label Program for $450 new OTD.
-
In my opinion the compacts and fullsize carry IWB better than the baby Glocks; there is not enough barrel length to stabilize the baby Glocks IWB.

Lee Hand Loader For Smaller Cartridges?
Patton replied to Sidewinder's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
To be honest, while I love my single stage challenger press, I wish that I had one of the Lee Hand Loaders so wouldn't be confined to the bench. -
Of all the dies I have bought, sold, and traded I have only used customer service through Lyman and they were fine. I have heard more than one person say they didn't care for Hornady dies but they didnt say why. I do know people like their lock rings though.
-
Normally I would say the lighter gun will recoil more but somehow Shields recoil less than fullsize guns. The LC9's have had finish issues for sure. Carter's shooting supply had a used one about a year after they came out that looked like it sank with the Titanic.
-
It is hard to beat Lee dies, but I have never had a complaint with RCBS or Lyman dies.

I have been a Toyota fan since before I had my license, they have served my family well. After recommending a Camry to my brother-in-law he bought one. At 58k miles on a 2010, 2.4l 4cyl it floated a valve. The vehicle had been taken care of for the most part, just your normal 6k mile oil changes. Toyota refused to warranty the motor. After extensive research we found hundreds of stories of the engines experiencing issues under 100k miles. The Toyota was bought in Atlanta but the local Toyota dealer in Chattanooga agreed to help and replaced the engine for $800. The manufacturer said the engine had been abused, but there is no way it had been. The mechanic at the Toyota dealer said it was one of the worst engines ever put in a car. Keep immaculate service records so you can argue that you did your part. Corporate Toyota was not facilitating at all and I believe that I am driving my last Toyota. http://toyota.pissedconsumer.com/2009-camry-le-buring-oil-20110715249077.html http://www.toyotaproblems.com/problems/excessive-oil-consumption.shtml http://www.carcomplaints.com/Toyota/Camry/2009/engine/excessive_oil_consumption.shtml http://www.consumeraffairs.com/automotive/toyota-camry.html
