Pretty much what brought me here. Don't like the Hellcat, that thing's gotta go. But the rest of you guys seem alright. So I'll stick around a bit.

Yeah, if not a .22 I always recommend either a full or compact size 9mm. To be blunt, micro 9s suck to shoot, and they're harder to sort out. If a gun sucks to practice with, guess what ain't gonna happen...Almost everyone will get better at shooting faster - and have more fun doing it - with a...

That's a comforting read. I've got a Taurus 44 as well, though mine is just over a year old. It doesn't get shot much given how much 44 costs at the moment. So far it hasn't given me problems, but with Taurus' general reputation let's just say I don't fully trust the gun yet. It is incredibly...

Fair point. I check them before taking them to the range to ensure they're suitably wet. If I'm not happy with what I see I'll address them then, usually it's not needed though.

I probably don't shoot my carry guns often enough...too many range toys. But my suggestion is fire the EDC on a semi regular basis, then clean and lube after the range session. Realistically you're not gonna hurt your carry gun by carrying it as intended (full magazine, chamber loaded). The...

Low pay, lowered hiring standards, highly dangerous job with increased risk of injury or death, increased persecution and prosecution? Thanks, but no thanks. Much as I hate my current job you will not see me signing up for any of that. Let Captain Acorn and his Loose Nut sidekick have at it.

The 400 Corbon and 45 GAP really don't seem to have much purpose. The 10mm already does what the 400 Corbon does, and arguably better since it doesn't rely on an overly fat case. And 45 GAP = 45 ACP short. Which is neat but...I can't say that does me much good since I'm perfectly fine with the...

You can also try Falco Holsters. They're based out of Chechoslovakia if I remember right, but they make holsters for a lot of pistol/light/laser/red dot combinations that I have a hard time finding elsewhere. They've become my go-to, particularly if one likes leather. They do kydex as well, so...

Small update: I finally got around to the range and they had a Hellcat Pro for rent. So I took theirs and put 50 rounds through it. I think theirs hits harder than mine, but at least I know it isn't just my particular pistol. I've also asked around a couple other forums, apparently it isn't...

The only negative comment I've heard about them is just breakage from heavy use over the course of a few years. And that's kinda normal, every machine I'm aware of has a service life. I've got a Thunder .22 and I'm in the process of wearing that little SOB out. I put a thousand rounds through it...

The first run of RIA 5.0s was very limited. I want to say they made maybe 1,500 each of optic ready and non-optic ready models, but I could be wrong and it may be even less than that. Which is why they're rare as hen's teeth. I don't think this second release is as limited, but I'm sure if...

Yep. It's a nice looking gun. But at 2 grand it's beyond my reach. Especially once you figure in holster, optic, light so you can make use of the rail, extra mags...ultimately it would probably be more along the lines of $2,200 - $2,300 with necessary add-ons even if you consider the street...

I've got both, and I really don't see a purpose for a bull barrel. Seems like a solution that was in search of a problem. Much like full length guide rods. I've been tempted on multiple occasions to reconfigure my bull barreled pistol with a new barrel and rig it for a regular bushing and GI...

That's actually a strong argument. I definitely burn more than $5.50 a day on random BS I don't really need to. Why not save it up for a shiny new blaster instead of burning it on Monster or a quick meal at Wawa? I'm diggin the new TRP models. I was considering a railed upgrade for my olde...

I'm guessing below 10K were the early run of problem children?

I'm fairly certain the trigger dingus is not the source of the irritation. Messing around with it, the dingus doesn't have any sharp corners, and it seems to seat flush enough while dry firing as to not cause a problem. Yes, we'll see if it will let me link a video. But the basic premise is...

Sometimes it's beneficial the manufacturer can't keep up with demand. When I first saw the SA 35 there was a pretty big desire to get one. But it took so long for supply to catch up with demand, the interest has waned. If I stumbled into a used one at the right price I'd probably still get it...

The slide stop isn't supposed to have a detent. I think it's usually recoil spring pressure and a prayer that keeps them in place on a 1911. The fact that yours is walking out, and wanted to lock the slide while shooting, tells me it's probably making contact with the nose of bullets in the mag...

Oh, it's way worse than that. I'm a mechanic by trade. It's costs somewhere between $5,000 and $10,000 to replace the battery in a hybrid. I've seen reports of the battery on fully electric vehicles running between $20,000 and $50,000. I think in the more expensive cases it's because the...

That's a good thought. I'll have to check and see if the range has a Hellcat Pro that I can rent. Maybe catch up with my other coworker that shoots as often as I do and see if we can arrange a range trip to see if he feels what I do. No offense taken. Wouldn't be the first time in my life...
