Glock30

Lawrenceburg PD uses the Glock 22 and Lawrence County Sheriff uses the Glock 31. MTSU police uses M&P ____. IIRC Fisk University Police use Security Six.

Whew! I couldn't find the answer anywhere... glad the first 9 didn't make it.

You can shoot hotter loads in the G19. I have shot +P+ with zero issues in a G19, whereas the G26 stovepiped a lot. My carry round is the same +P+. Target ammo is less expensive in 9mm; good quality SD ammo is perhaps a bit less expensive in 9mm. I've recently consolidated calibers and don't want to buy another caliber any time soon. Bottom line: The size difference is minimal, the capacity difference is huge. Go for a G19.

The requirements of validity, per the passed version, is a photo ID shown in addition to a permit - driver's license, ID only, or passport. As I read it, this makes all permits facially valid. I am gathering upon readingthe executive summary linked below that only resident permits would be recognized under the national reciprocity bill. Executive summary found here: H.R. 822: National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act of 2011 - Legislative Digest - GOP.gov

Why speculate on the bill, its contents, its meaning, and what the spin doctors want you to think about it? How about a healthy dose of the FACTS! C'mon guys - bring some meat to the table!! Here it is, the version that passed: http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/BILLS-112hr822eh/pdf/BILLS-112hr822eh.pdf

Sig Sauer's 1911 line provides an excellent value for the dollar. You also can't go wrong with a good, used Kimber. My answers are biased by my experiences, as is every other comment on this thread. The best solution is to borrow pistols from folks you know and try them out.

The city will save $100,000 per year, or $40 per head per year. One lawsuit's worth of legal fees, much less damages, will wipe those savings out. Risky move to save a few bucks.

GLOCK Good, quick, clean reference on all models - size, caliber, etc. Commit this to memory, like all true Glock lovers do!

Two things: First, the continued arrogance of the gunshop in question is simply astounding. Second, a relatively small 5% discount, or ~$200, would have been far less costly than the lost business represented in this thread. If the gunshop in question spent as much time being helpful to its potential customer base as it did being sarcastic, this thread would be full of praises and advocation to step foot in said shop. End of rant. P.S. Why not just own up to the word "sorry"? Why must everything BUT the word "sorry" be used?

So, what was the old place? You said after it was all said and done, you'd out the complex that made trouble for you.

Cost of resolution: $200 Value of lesson: Priceless

Ran across this: Brand new in box 4th gen G22, night sights, 3 mags, $475. I'm not into the .40, but if I was, I'd be backing up the truck. Firearms, Guns, Rifles. Grain Valley, Missouri.

Thanks for the link. Now that has me thinking: What is the standard factory spring strength? Are they the same for a G17/G19/G26? If they are, then the length of the slide (i.e. time for ejection) has everything to do with it. Regardless of factory spring settings (weaker/stronger according to model), I theorize as follows: -G17/G19 spring strength are at acceptable levels, as there were no problems, even in rapid-fire mode. -Length of slide in a G17/G19 are sufficient for proper ejection. -Length of slide directly translates to time for ejection. -G26 must have a stiffer spring to offset the shorter slide, i.e. time for ejection -Correct G26 spring strength should fall into a range, per this theoretical formula: Minimum: G19 barrel length divided by G26 barrel length -- 4.02/3.46 = [1.162x G19 spring strength] Maximum: G17 barrel length divided by G26 barrel length -- 4.49/3.46 = [1.298x G17 spring strength] If the theory is correct, that should give a range to play with and hopefully fix the problem. Any insight, second guessing, etc., is welcome.

I can always change springs when shooting target loads. The +P+ is some really awesome stuff. Recoil wasn't bad at all. Expansion tests I have seen posted online put it at .65"-.67" when it's said and done.

With that in mind, should I be looking for a stronger spring, thus countering the over-drive effect of +P+? I'm certainly not limp wristing, as I have a very strong and firm grip on the weapon.

Shot some new loads through my Glocks a little while ago. The ammunition in question is 127 grain +P+ Winchester Ranger T-Series. Shot through the G17 and G19 with absolutely zero problems. However, with the G26, I have stovepipe/FTE issues on 6 of 20 rounds. To be fair, the first 10 came out of a 33 rd magazine, while the last 10 came out of a standard G26 magazine. FTEs were split evenly among the two magazines. I would have a FTE, clear it, shoot 2-3 more rounds, then FTE again. Does anyone have a similar experience? Any reason for G26 problems vs G17/G19? Is +P+ too hot for a G26? All weapons are 3rd generation, excellent shape, and relatively low round count. Stock standard factory internals. Also of note, when clearing the stovepipe/FTEs, the first few took several quick pulls of the slide after removing the magazine. The last ones, upon magazine removal, the empty case just fell out along with the magazine - no slide movement necessary. Thanks for the input and advice!

Another +1 for SGAmmo. Ordered late Tuesday/early Wednesday morning, had it in my hands Friday morning UPS. Very good price for what I bought and reasonable shipping rates. Will buy there again!!

FTFY

Congrats on the permit, condolences on being stuck in an anti-state.

No matter what, it's going to be a GREAT football game and fun to watch! This might as well be the national championship.

I recommend keeping a loaded sidearm at all times, especially when stepped away (even briefly) from something you value.

Glad to see someone dropping political correctness and picking up what is good for the population!

PRICELESS!!

Since he lost his HCP, would it do any good to write a very polite letter to all other permit-issuing states to notify them of his loss? Perhaps we should get "reciprocity" fully recognized in all states for him...

Looks like someone has a death wish. You know, I can recall many "headliners" posting pictures of themselves before they became infamous.
