One of my EDC's is a Springfield loaded model, 5" govt. For social work I carry Double Taps .450 SMC 230 grn. hp. I switched out the recoil spring to an 18.5 one. Since I am an experienced shooter, the recoil was manageable as is. I had Mag-Na-Port do their thing on it. Bottom line, I love...

All one has to do is look at the design features and see Makarov all over it. Thanx for your expertise tho.

Sweet little piece bro.

The article forgot the Polish com-bloc version of the Mak. I have had a Polish version of the Makarov in 9/18 it is designated a P64 and is dated 1968. I believe it was manufactured by the Polish company Radom. It's very similar to the PPK's. Excellent blued finish. Shoots great, good for CCW.

In the past, I ordered all my ammo from out of state, delivered to my door, So I have beau coup ammo stored. Cali put the kabosh on that. I go to Az right next door where a relative lives she orders it on-line for me. I pick it up when I go visit or buy ammo there. Also buys mags there. It's...

My EDC is a Springfield (loaded model) 5"with an 18.5 recoil spring. My carry load for 2 legged or 4 legged anything is Double Taps .450 SMC in 230 gr JHP. 1130 fps with basically the same ballistics as a 10mm. They also make a 455-gr. hard cast which I would pick if I were going where the...

My edc is a Springfield loaded model 5". I replaced the stock recoil spring with an 18.5. My social load out is Double Tap's .450 smc in either 230 gr hp's or 185 gr hp's. These provide .357 ballistics or 10mm ballistics on a 1911 frame yet the recoil is manageable. I'd hunt with either of...

We had a BAR in our SWAT locker in the late 70's. It was nothing we used on callouts, because it was old, but I used to take it out on training days and fire it. Loved that gun!!!

Actually perfect spring per Springfield. Handles standard ball easy as well.

I don't know how that could've happened Dag but I have never had any problems with anything like that. I shoot in daylight and low light w/o problems. Of course muzzle flare in night scenarios is always a a factor at any any rate.

Check out Mag-Na-Port bro. I used to CCW a Glock 26. That'd be great for it.

My load for social carry is Double Taps .450 SMC 230 gr. w/an 18.5 recoil spring. Porting tames it very well. Regular ball for the range is a breeze.

Better yet, send your barrel and slide to Mag-Na-Port in Michigan and have them port it. That way you don't have that ugly device hanging on the end of your pistol. Only other reason would be for a threaded barrel.

I am a left handed long rifle shooter and I love my M1A. I have no problems with it as is.

Yepper, I started with a .38 spc/.357 as we all did. Auto's were not allowed to be carried as the only game in town was the 1911 until the Smith 39's and 59's came out.

It's called "spray and Pray" bro. Anemic 9 mm's and .40's can't do the job. The hi-cap mags allow all officers on scene to open up on a perp. I've seen 30-40 rounds fired at scenes with the perp not even hit. When I first went in service in law enforcement, we had to qualify with handgun...

In regards to the argument about stopping ability, I don't predicate my self defense on misses. Train, train and train more, situational awareness and distractions are key to coming out #1 in a gunfight. Being a law enforcement vet, I have seen too many 9mm's and .40's fail to stop a perp...

I heartily agree with you Tanker. A handgun is primarily a defensive weapon and "put downs" are always subject to variability such as the tango's mental state, intoxication on whatever, degree of resolve etc. Solid torso or head shots are the only thing between coming in first or second in a...

I feel ya, I'm in Commiefornia, everything's illegal here. My nightstand gun is a Springy 9mm XD sub w/Streamlight light/laser. I love it too.
