A SSA loads kind of slow, and the S&W #3 has hammer reach long enough for firing to be a rather deliberate affair.
With regards to auto loaders; if it’s going to cost $1500 plus for a 15 round 9mm, I will wait till someone does it right and puts a p365 style mag in a grip frame the size of a proper 1911. |

I’ve carried strikers for years and years.
I’m leaning DA/SA more now. Carry condition 1, but reality is I like the choice. I have 1911’s, and SAO revos. I’m not opposed. But capacity and convenience matter in a carry gun. |

I became apostate in 1987 when I bought a Gen 1 Glock.
When I became a cop I was issued a S&W Model 10 and saw that I had pined in sin and error my whole life. I realized I had become a racially, intellectually and morally superior, (though modest and unassuming) being thenceforth. I try not to judge too harshly those that need the crutch of a single action trigger to be able to meet what passes for them as minimum proficiency standards, as they are merely Mundanes. |

Computers and phones are better enjoyed sitting down. Did you think about doing an 800? Or did I just pull that out of my ass? Was that during the "how mean is this course going to be?" @WhiskersTheCat - Yes, I believe I floated the idea of going to 800, and possibly 880 so we could claim a half mile shot. But the targets on that range aren't particularly generous, and I wanted to keep it to shots that I can generally make with a first or second round impact during typical match conditions, so 700-ish was where I drew the line. |

We still went above the effective range for MK262 which I think is 700 |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By WhiskersTheCat: We still went above the effective range for MK262 which I think is 700 Effective is subjective. Just depends on what you need the bullets to do when it gets there. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By feudist: I became apostate in 1987 when I bought a Gen 1 Glock. When I became a cop I was issued a S&W Model 10 and saw that I had pined in sin and error my whole life. I realized I had become a racially, intellectually and morally superior, (though modest and unassuming) being thenceforth. I try not to judge too harshly those that need the crutch of a single action trigger to be able to meet what passes for them as minimum proficiency standards, as they are merely Mundanes. My pistol is basically nothing but an amalgamation of several crutches. Steel frame for less recoil? Crutch. Optic? Crutch. Light, crisp SAO trigger? Crutch. WML for additional non-reciprocating weight and target identification in shitty light? Crutch. Extended magazines for accuracy by volume? Crutch.  Somehow, I’m weirdly ok with it |
