I'm a P320 fan... got a P320 subcompact and a P320 X-Carry. I love the grip so much I got one, cut it down and now I have what I call my P320SCx. A subcompact that holds 17rd mags

VP9


I just picked one up and a Walther Creed for my wife. The VP9 would jam after every shot of Monarch 115gr.The new ones come with a VP40 spring so I figured it might not like the lighter load at first. Probably just needs a few hundred rds through it. It loves the 124gr though. At 30 yards you could head shot a guy 15 times. It's accurate. I love it.


It's eating the 115s now after 50 rds of 124gr. This pistol should be on everyone's want list.

.327 Federal Magnum revolver, probably Ruger LCR/LCRx, maybe Ruger SP101 or SP100 instead.

I really like the 9mm version but have a lot of 9mm handguns and want another big bore 45. The PPQ has excellent ergos and one of the best triggers out of the box so it's a solid candidate.

I concur. I have a PPQ in .40 and I love it. It has a lot of flip and I expect the .45 would be the same. But it's not too much to handle and the ergos and trigger make up for it.

I just got done putting Truglo TFX's on it 15 minutes ago as a matter of fact. Whoever put the night sights on before me didn't use Loctite.

That said, I'm looking for a .45 and I have my eye on the Glock 30S.

Trying to fill in some blanks in my 9mm group, would love to land a PA 15 (the French pistol, not the PSA) for the right price. Ditto a Walther P88 and an HK P7.

Waiting on the PR 15 to make it's way in from Poland. I suspect once they stock the military, Radom will try it's luck in the US consumer market.

I bought one off of Gunbroker, used, for $300.

It looks brand new....will shoot .45 ACP with the moon clips.....holds 6 shots.....and the grip is manly like a S&W should feel ....

My Judge will only let my grip with 3 fingers

The sights are the biggest complaint about the PPQ anyway so replacing the sights is a given .

If you get a 30S I’d like to see how it compares.

Whoever had the gun before me had put Trijicon night sights on it already so I've never actually used the stock sights. But like I said they didn't use any thread locker and the last time I shot it, the front sight came off and I never found it.

I'm curious about this myself. I'm looking at it as a potential carry gun. A local gun shop has ordered one for me to take a look at and it should be in tomorrow. I've shot a 36 but I've never shot a 30.

I have a Delta Elite. It is a really amazing round in maybe the premier handgun.

I would like to have another 10mm in a Sig p220 single action only at some point.

Bought one several years back. It's a fun gun. My wife, who is a novice shooter at best, can group those 45 acp in a tight group with the gun being as heavy as it is. The weight is distributed significantly more evenly than the Judge. I find the judge to be very "barrel heavy".
