If you've tried to install the tungsten weights in your P320 X or WCP320 and they slide around/rattle a lot, here's a pro tip:
Blue painters tape! Just wrap a small amount around each one for a non-permanent solution. Works like a charm!
That is all. Just putting this out there in case anyone else has this problem ..read more

I'm wondering what the overall opinion is of this pistol.
I seem to remember a lot of commotion about it in the not too distant past and some reviews were favorable.
But I have seen it available for $299....which I thought was pretty low for a firearm with a $549 MSRP.
It seems to fit what I like in a carry gun as far as size, performance and weight.
So what's the story?
Is the caliber not getting the momentum it should....design or other factors I just don't see.
Or is it simply utilizing...

The 1911 platform has such a cult following that it's become the stuff of legend. There's a lot of info out on the internet touting it as the ultimate handgun, the matchless man-stopper, and a lot more that started to sound like tall tales after a while. I'm starting this thread to share my honest thoughts after recently trying one out for myself. If you have never shot a 1911 before and are considering buying one, I hope you will find this review helpful.
My impressions going in...

Anybody familiar with any good semi automatic .357 Magnums? I do know Coonan used to make some of the best but unfortunately they went out of business so they don't make those anymore. The Coonan will even fire rimmed cartridges unlike most semi automatics. Anybody familiar with any other good brands ..read more

From what I know about the 10mm round is that it was originally developed as an FBI round but the recoil was too much for many of the FBI agents so the FBI switched to either the 9mm or the .40 which was developed as a scaled down version of the 10mm, so you could say that the 10mm is sort of like a .40 Magnum round except that the 10mm came first and that the .40 wasn't invented until after the 10mm, and usually in the case of Magnum rounds its the other way around.
So anyway from what I...
