Don't blame the gun owners, it's the chicken **** California politicians!

Just gotta learn the layout and know which directions you can safely shoot, and weight the risks properly. #1 buck usually comes up best in self-defense-oriented ammo tests for shotguns.

Springfield is reputed to be "OK". Sig...they aren't really the company they used to be. Since manufacturing and design for the US market has been taken over by SigArms, QA has become problematic. The German Sigs are still top notch...US-made Sigs, not so much. I've had my P229 since 1996. It's seen an exceptional pistol and utterly reliable. I wouldn't buy a Sig these days, though. I see heaps of armorer frustration in the law enforcement market with the current versions of Sig's pistols.

I think Springfield's, especially the XD series, are fairly highly regarded. I'd say more than just "OK."

But as with any other gun out there, you really need to put hundreds of rounds downrange without a problem before you can really trust it to defend your life.

I shoot and train with a lot of cops, and do a lot of 3-gun competition. In those circles, people who shoot a lot, "OK" as a description for the XD series is pretty accurate in terms of how it's regarded. Modern Sigs OTOH are a little farther down the scale.

No problemo. I love the Pearce grip extension on one of my G26 mags. It's what I carry in the gun when I can get away with the added length of the grip... so fall/spring/winter.

I have the Pearce +0 on all my mags for my G36. Thought about getting the +2 for my G17 33rd mag. :D

Here is the Tacstar side saddle I just put on my new 870 today.

I will say I love my Dan Wesson Valor!!! From the second I pulled that gun out of the box it has shot consistently better... My first session with the gun it shot a 5 round 1" grouping at 25yds and I thought I had missed the target for half the shots! I think I got a gun blessed by God himself as I have not had any FTFs or FTEs or Misfires since I have owned the gun! I love it to death the only gripe I have is that my grip screws keep vibrating loose hahaha.

Here is a pic:

*Side note: I have put about 10k rounds through her so far...*

Nice! There's nothing better than a good 1911, IMO!
