And you’d trust your life on a gun that doesn’t fit a mag easily and quickly?

It’s a design flaw I noted. As I said I would go with a gen 4 personally. Some people like the 5 for the ambi slide stop and the match grade barrel, but you need to train to learn the muscle memory of magazine changes with that particular nuance. I only have 2k rounds through my gen 5 and primacy from the previous generations works against me with the gen 5 mag changes.

What generation of the g19 do you prefer? Reasons?

---

Gen 4 personally. I would say Gen 3 but the texturing on the 4 is much better stock.

If you are left handed go with a gen 5 due to the ambi slide stop. However the mag well on the 5’s are atrocious with the cut out in the front. I know it was for the MHS contract, but they should have done the cutouts one the side. On the front it hangs up mag changes on the regular.

I don’t mind the finger grooves on the gen4 but that might be another consideration to move to the 5.

I have a gen 2, 3, 4, and 5 19. I also have the 19X and 19M. You can’t go wrong with a 19 of any flavor.

The argument for LEO/MIL duty guns went out the window with the Sig 320. That whole debacle really showed that these contracts are given out under serious corruption and greed.

---

The M18/320 is a fine weapon. Once they fixed the drop test problem it’s g2g (lets not pretend Glock isn’t immune from recalls). I would have preferred the military went with the Glock, but empirical evidence from those at the trials showed Officers shot the 320 much more capably.

As of today I would select the following firearms in order if I had to grab something to defend my life.

G19
G43X
P320
P365

So you spend $1,500/year for a retirement calculator? I did not see a free version.

---

Yes I do. I’m currently planning my drawdown strategy for retirement and the tools provided are the exact same thing you’ pay both a CFP and CPA for which would cost in excess of $1400 a year.

Week 1:
70% x5
80% x5
90% x5

Supplemental work week 1:
5x10 at 60%

Week 2:
65% x5
75% x5
85% x5

Supplemental work week 2:
5x10 at 50%

Week 3:
75% x5
85% x5
95% x5

Supplemental work week 3:
5x10 at 70%

Repeat the cycle but add 10lbs every 4th week.

To manage fatigue separate your working sets from your supplemental work by 2 days if possible.

Also if 5x10 is too much volume for supplemental work for you utilize a 5x5 FSL (first set last) instead. So if you’re first working set that week is 70% your supplemental work will be 5x5 at 70%.

I recently saw an ad for a Beretta M92 compact for $399. Anyone have experience with this gun? Ive only seen the full size. The compact looked nice.

---

I only have experience with the M9 and 92FS not the compact model. They are fine weapons. If it’s to add to your collection I’m sure it’s a great gun. However if it’s your only gun or if you envision it being your daily driver I would not recommend vs something like a G43/43X or a G19.

Any ideas on where to find one? Everywhere I’m looking says out of stock.

---

There’s some here but they are likely overpriced. My LGS has several in stock. Just go and talk to your LGS and develop a relationship. Might even try calling GT Distributors I’ve had a lot of success getting both a blue label 19X and 19M from them recently.

The Smith machine completely takes any stabilizers out of the equation. If it’s the only thing you have access to go for it.
