Or 8+1 of .45ACP if I'm carrying the P220ST.Mike W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03425962910696301026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3274583756441452923.post-33149206437004527552010-12-01T14:02:53.911-05:002010-12-01T14:02:53.911-05:00Come over to the Glock Side!

They have a perception that if they are sitting at the computer in their cube, they don't want anything "Printing" through their clothing. Yet they also feel that a pocket .380 might not be enough to see them through trouble.<br /><br />But if you are wearing your Tinfoil Hat, you could always say that the Gun Companies are getting ready just in case the Obama Administration decides to re-impose the 10 round magazine limit, along with other gun control restrictions by using the Czars to force Unconstitutional Regulations upon the Republic.<br /><br />On the other hand, since the TSA has said that their Scanning and Pat Downs violate the Constitution, and they don't care, maybe there is something to the Conspiracy theories out there.<br /><br />Nah, that's a silly idea, right? With the SCOTUS rulings on Heller and MacDonald, such a thing can't happen, correct? I mean, it'd be just as silly as putting in an Oil Drill Ban in the Gulf of Mexico and keeping it running in spite of a Federal Judge ruling that it's Unconstitutional, right? Never happen.<br /><br />On the gripping hand, however, I think it's probably something to do with Manufacturing Costs and Marketing by the Gun Companies. 2 ounces less polymer per handgun, multiplied by 10,000 units per month, times the cost of the Petroleum to make the plastic in the first place, which gets passed along to the Consumer, yet one needs to keep the profits high, yeah, that might be it.<br /><br />But on the other gripping hand, if people trade in the Double Stacks for Single stacks, there will probably be some good deals out there soon at the Gun Stores.<br /><br />I think that covers all the bases.

I found that both felt more natural given the same grip angle as a 1911 than the Glock did.

If they want a fat double-stack, chock full of ammo, then that is also fine by me.<br /><br />I did once have a student who went overboard a bit, though. He was partially paralyzed in his right hand during knife attack by three teenagers. Since he was outnumbered when injured, he became obsessed with carrying extra ammo. <br /><br />Eventually he was carrying a 15-round mag in the gun, two extra on his belt, and he was using velcro strips to attach 50-round extended mags to his supenders.<br /><br />I called the suspender magazines his "nipple ammo".James R.

There are a few instances of 10 shots used. Nobody wishes for less ammo but no one actually uses more. <br /><br />I discount the panic firing situations that sometimes happens. Where the news reports says there were 43 rounds by police and none hit the suspect. In those cases their pistols could have been KelTec PMRs with 30 rounds per mag and not done much more good. The lesson there is more training so there is less panic under stress, not more ammo.New Jovian Thunderbolthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09452246769246304612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3274583756441452923.post-85660058620446612262010-11-30T07:22:23.096-05:002010-11-30T07:22:23.096-05:00Why do you want a single stack?

No one has ever made it through a firefight and said, "damn, I wish I had less ammo." <br /><br />I like my XD .45 Compact. I carry it all the time. It's easy to conceal.
