40 guy video was pretty funny. However it did exaggerate alot. Diameter wise, the .40 is between the 9 and 45, however, it has more energy than both. And in a full size gun, it only holds 2 less rounds 17 vs 15 than the 9mm. In small guns, usually only 1 round difference.

Got some pretty hot loads in my 10mm and 357 sig. Have a 200 grain hard cast gas check boolit in my 10mm cruising along at 1225 fps. Have the 124 xtp doing 1430 out of the Sig P229. Neither are too shabby. The 10mm is in a para-ordnance P16-40 which holds 16 rounds or 10mm and 18 with the +2...
10mm is my favorite. The 10mm short is 2nd in line, 45 acp, then 9mm is last when it comes to semi-auto rounds. On average 155gr 40 has the velocity of a 115gr 9mm. 40 extra grains is a lot more energy. I believe I own more 40 than any other cartridge and up until about 6 months ago, I only...
Well, now, if you have 2 guns, and both have a history of functioning 100% of the time, how is one of them "most reliable"? You can't get better than 100% reliable. :)
Now easy to shoot, is personal opinion, and no one can argue with that.
I have multiple firearms across multiple brands and...
Good point, let's see, my life vs a $900 gun?? I will opt for my life. When you look at it from that point, the most reliable, accurate weapon you can shoot should be the one to use regardless of the cost.
Now....if you are looking it from the standpoint of a throw down weapon, that is a...
I don't think a Glock is worth $500 new. To me, they are a $400 gun, always will be.
I see this the same as the mossberg shotguns. Someone buys a $200 shotgun, puts $200 worth of accessories on it, label it "home defense", "tactical" or the like and then think it is worth $400. You still...
I hate it when I find those dang "pregnant" 40 S&W cases that came out of those unsupported chambers. Have to run them all through the Bulge buster to straighten them out. Never see "pregnant" cases in other brand firearms.

I am with the OP. A simple No, is easy. I guess they may be one of those kind of control freaks that leave you hanging so they can feel more important, like they are in control. Or maybe they are just being rude.
No explanation need. If you don't like the offer and do not have a counter, a...
Did you inspect the primer? Was the firing pin strike significantly off center? One would think if it was out of time enough to make the bullet miss the forcing cone, the firing pin would miss the primer. But then again, I don't know how much off center it would have to be to blow up the gun...
I don't have a poly frame one, would never buy a poly frame revolver, that is just wrong IHMO.
I read that article on Forbes and seems most of those issues were leading up to 2013. I wonder when the quality started falling? I have had all of mine 8-15 years before that. Hopefully none of...
Just did a search on revolvers blow up and see pictures from a S&W and even a Ruger Vaquero. Even seen a picture of an AR15. Seems this kind of thing happens to all brands. I do wonder if it is more common with a particular brand. One of the pics looked like either a S&W 500 or 460. I can't...
Problem is, we are missing the barrel and other parts, without the full picture, it is hard to make an analysis. I would like to know what happened though.
I own several Taurus firearms, I have only ever had an issue with one that I had to send in for repair and that was a PT140, the spring that holds the take down pin broke. They replaced and sent it back, no other issues.

Any idea what caused this? No way a factory 38 special could have generated enough pressure to do this. Or is that a .357? Just curious. Since the cylinder is still intact, it couldn't have been the cartridge though. Had to either be a barrel obstruction or maybe someone broke it with a...
