Hey Pepper Would you mind spicing things up by Loading your way over to the Introduction section and shooting us a few lines about yourself? Thanks.

I have to say after shooting and owning many brands and variations that the Glock 19 has been my favorite with the 17 right behind. Utter reliability and for some reason they allow me to hit what I'm aiming at, pitty I left all with family in the lower 48.

So far I could not be more pleased with this one.

Greenbeetle,
The gun is 24Oz unloaded. Comes with a 10 rd and a 17 rd mag. I went out yesterday and put about 175 rounds through it. Very happy with this one.

Drooling now.

The top looks like a mark III? I see a RING HAMMER and awesome LANYARD LOOP. <wipes drool from keyboard> Are those bakelite grips? Made when wood was at a premium late during the war I bet. Now I make out Inglis on the side. Soooo nice! There were some crazy postwar versions made in Europe too with lanyard loops, though I doubt they had bakelite grips. I think they were generally contract police and military versions for foreign governments.

P Moore,

Never shot a Ruger to be honest but I ilke the way they feel. That's a nice carry weight. Have you seen the LC-9? A friend has one. Not sure what to make of it. He describes it as "awesome", at which point I tend to think "for what? missing large objects past 10 feet?".

[p moore]

I saw one the other day and held it for a bit. I have a 709 slim I am paying off. After holding both side by side, I think the 709 still wins out. Plus the LC-9 is brand new. I would wait about 6-9 months to see how it works out before I looked at it too hard. I know it is a proven platform, but it is still first run.

Three things I hate about a 9mm.

1. It hurts like hell to get shot with one.

2. It takes weeks for the wound to heal.

3. When the hole scabs over it itches like crazy.

[kyratshooter]

But the key thing is that you will probably survive, espically if it is only one hit. Even to the head.

[LowKey]

Don't you find the grips on the Rugers to be uncomfortably short?

[GLOCKMASTER]

Depending on the task either a Glock 17 or 19 will do for me.

So by using that chart.....I have 7+1 rounds in the .45 and 15+1 in the 9mm...... that means I have 176% stopping power with the 9mm as opposed to 92%.

I need someone to do the math for me. I recently acquired a SIG P226 in 9mm. I have carried a SIG P226 in .40 for years. But, with the 9mm I have two 18 round mags and a 20 round mag coming Monday. I got to have like 190% stopping power.

[Rick]

You silly country boy. You can't have more than 100% of anything. What you have is 100% stopping power + 90% more. See?

[aflineman]

Picked up a Smith 59 the other day in trade. Very worn finish, but it shoots and functions well. Even feeds and fires the cone style hollow points that I had in an old cardboard box. This one is a keeper. I was looking for a Beretta 92, but this fits that spot really nice, and was much less expensive.

[Sidewinder]

H&K P2000, But I'm not a big fan of 9mm.

[hossthehermit]

Bought my P85 Ruger in 1992, never saw a need for another 9mm, liked it way better than the P38 Walther that I had. When ya get the RIGHT one, ya only NEED 1. I know there's a lot of new, high tech stuff out there that works just swell, but what are ya gonna do with a 9 mil, eh? It has one purpose.

[OhioGrizzLapp]

I am not at all a huge fan of 9mm anything. I do have a vintage WWII P-38 and a Canadian Hi-Power with the stock/holster. When I get 9mm's in the shop... I dang near wholesale em out as I do not rec them to anyone, no matter what ammo they use. I am a .45acp guy through and through for carry (when I carry, I use a Para-Ord Nighthog .45acp and a hidey gun of NAA .22 mag as a last ditch back up.) and for plinking I am a .22 and .38spl guy. In my Para .45 I use 230gr Black Talon (traded for 20 boxes long time ago). When I practice with the .45 I usually load my own for saving money sakes.
