| re: Went to buy a Sig P238 today Posted by TigerOnThe Hill on 5/24 at 10:02 pm [quote]walked out with a P938 instead[/quote]
You made a good choice. The 9mm is a better self defense round than is the 380 and the 938 is not much bigger than the 238.

9mm or 40?
why? [/quote]
9mm.
Using modern self defense ammo, 9mm and 40 S&W are equally potent at stopping the fight. OTOH, compared to 40, the 9mm:
-is less expensive.
-will usually carry 1-3 more rounds when comparing similar guns.

| re: What is the consensus on rock island armory? Posted by TigerOnThe Hill on 5/22 at 11:57 pm Jack,
The RIA 1911's are solid, dependable, budget minded guns w/ a good warranty and outstanding customer support. They are may have some MIM parts. Some shooters haven't had good results w/ the factory mags. The grips are not very attractive and the finish is, at least in my eyes, a not very appe...Posted on: Outdoor BoardJump to Post • View Topic |

Nice choice, except I'd opt for either 44 Mag or 45 Long Colt. A heavy loaded 45 Colt is an awesome gun. :bow: Although the first revolver I bought on my own was a 7" Ruger Redhawk in 44 Mag, if limited to only one revolver, the RH would have a 5 1/2" barrel....Posted on: Outdoor BoardJump to Post • View Topic |

Those are both fine guns, although there're not many similarities between the other than the caliber. If you're set on 45 ACP for the caliber, I'd also suggest looking at the Kahr CW45 as well as Commander (4-4 1/4" barrel) sized 1911's. The three most active guns in my cc rotation are the Kahr...Posted on: Outdoor BoardJump to Post • View Topic |
