You left out the category of DA/SA hammer fired with decocker, with or without safety.

Awesome review!

Is it made by Ciener or Kimber themselves? :)

Model 10 wasn’t made in 1899 , but I get what you’re saying

Oh, the gun has a stainless steel barrel and a stainless steel cylinder and an aluminum alloy frame have to read the manual to get this information.

I'm a new owner

It’s 14.4 ounces on a postal scale. The Houge grip has a spongey back strap that absorbs felt recoil. A good grip style will reduce muzzle flip. Reducing the strength of the mainspring also helps a lot After making these changes the gun is very pleasurable to shoot. Keep in mind that you need to practice with this gun a very very lot to become efficient with at all distances. The 3,3,3 rule does not work most of the time. In my area the news reports shootings almost everyday. The police place markers next to every spent case and I have counted 9 spent cases most of the time. All 9mm. Distances between groups of spent cases was across 50 - 60 foot wide streets. Very few shootings were belly to belly. This makes me think about the 3-3-3 speculation. Therefore you need to practice for every conceivable distance snd the. 442 is accurate enough for those 25 yard shots. Just have to practice with it. I put 7 rounds into a one inch group at 10 yards. That is less than a two and a half group at 25 yards. So this gun is an accurate shooter. Lastly 38 Specials were designed to shoot 158 grain bullets, the twist rate of the rifleling was specifically designed for the weight and length of the 158 grain bullet. Smith has now come out with a snuby design that shoots 125 grain bullets more accurately. Just thought I would mention some things you missed, it’s s great shooter at any distance. Just takes practice.

Get a red dot.

Love my Glocks period.

I prefer the FN FNX .45. 15 rounds of .45 auto. I dislke DA/SA, but the FNX can be carried ajd used cocked and locked like rhr 1911. Thr SA has a lot of slop but fairly light and the let off is nowhere as nice a s tuned 1911, but its livable. And much better than the Glock 21. Thr FNX has been very reliable for me without any failures to fire or any other malfunctions. It takes a Streamlight TLR-1 1,000 lumen light with the Picatinny rail, unlike the Glock.

If you have the Glock 17 Gen 4 you don't need a Gen 5. Not any significant changes to justify a new purchase in my opinion. Been a collector of firearms since 1983 and why it's in my collection. Most that I buy I don't shoot they are NIB.

Can you please not take long pauses while you swallow your spit and then smack your lips before you start talking again? If you can't learn how to take a swallow without everyone knowing about it, then stop fucking making videos. God damn this is annoying

Just changes mine. Why would you want to be hex wrench dependable?

AZ Trigger, I don't normally give accolades for those who managed to share their knowledge on different types of ammunitions, but you really did an exceptional job of doing your homework! Thank you.

Thanks for the insight. Maybe just simpler to to buy a compact 1911 in 9mm with a double column magazine. For now I will stay with the glock and will be switching over eventually to a SA/DA guns of some sort when I find one below $1,000 with features that I like.

I had a Remington made 336 30-30 the finish was horrible. Cheap wood stock forearm felt loose outta the box. Ended up selling it. I just bought a Ruger made marlin SBL 45-70 and its way better. I can tell Ruger has way better quality control than Remington

Check out defender tactical for the light option

Having great difficulty releasing the slide. You mentioned extended slide releases. Would this help? And how are they installed?

GREAT handgun, just got mine from Turners here in CA. (9mm). 300 bucks after Mail in Rebate. NOT BAD AT ALL. Fathers day special.

I had the Gen3 once. It failed to feed properly twice at a 150 round range session. I got rid of it because of that. 🤷 😕

Proper grip and trigger discipline may prevent that...

Gen 3 is best gen.

Other pistols may be better looking, lighter, have a better trigger, better sights, better placements of buttons and levers, but the PX4 still is one of the best, easier shooters out there - and it's cheaper!

Looks a lot like the fusion firearms reaction series I like those a lot

It’s definitely among the greatest handguns ever made, and its longevity in production and use are an obvious testament to that. Of course, I own one. However, just my personal opinion, but ergonomically, I consider the Browning Hi-Power a better design overall. I have a lot of company; the Hi-Power is the most widely used military sidearm in history, in terms of the number of countries that adopted it for military and/or police issue weapons (around 90). In that respect, the M1911 doesn’t even come close. Still, the M1911, in terms of the number of units built, remains one of the most heavily produced if not the most heavily produced semiautomatic handguns in history. Although it wasn’t adopted by very many organizations outside of the US, its extreme popularity among American shooters has kept numerous manufacturers quite busy to this day and will continue to do so for years to come. If the AR-15 is “America’s rifle”, then the M1911 is “America’s handgun”, though while the AR-15 is appreciated by many outside of our shores, for whatever reason, the M1911 is not so appealing to those in other countries. Perhaps it is lack of capacity, weight, mechanical complexity compared with later designs, I dunno, but the M1911 seems to be a firearm made mostly for Americans. And Filipinos; I know they make and love the M1911 too. The Philippines is the only other country I can think of where people also love the M1911.

I carried one as a police officer and I used 38 special +P hollow points. Great reliability and never failed. Agree with the summary at the end regarding recommendations on usage. Great review. 👍

Can u get a forgrip on it?

I just traded my Sig 1911 10 mm in for the high capacity of the P320-x10. Hope I did the right thing. (I haven't shot it yet)

The only Sig P320's with zero of these problems are the military ones. I am looking to install the safety soon. Having a safety lever even makes it more reminiscent of the classic Sig P22X series anyway

The mag design of this gun is the best of all 22LR semi autos. 14.5 oz with 17 rounds, cant be beat

For you fellas, who like the less blocky aspect of the gen 5s, you should try firing without makeup and eyelashes.

If you handload, check the Speer #14 load manual. It shows a top load of Alliant Power Pistol for a 158 grain bullet (I load swc) giving 950 fps from a 6" barrel - standard pressure load. So maybe 900 fps for a 4" - which is still a great load - talk about penetration and will cut a straight path with the SWC bullets which is why I like them. And get ahold of a post war - pre model 10 and check the action.

Buy the stoner then upgrade the barrel and you’ll be better off than all 3

My Glock 30sf is better

Sold mine after 4 trips back to Florida cause kept jamming with many brands of Ammo .... MB .

Glocks do not be innovative because they are "perfected".... BUY and support American made guns! I luv my LCP MAX 380

I take exception to the .38 Smith & Wesson cartridge being called out as too weak to be effective for modern day law enforcement, most especially the British .38/200 LRN. I own a series of Enfield, Webley, Colt Police Positive Special, and Colt Police Positive Revolvers. I use some good hand loaded 200gr. LRN in.38 S&W shell casings. Even the current factory made 145gr. LRN ammo will work nicely in the post-war made Colt Police Positive Special, that was chambered in .38 S&W. This was a large contract order from the Royal Hong Kong PD going to Colt Manufacturing for a large number of these compact Colt PPS six-guns in the late 1950's, into the 1960's. The pre-war produce Colt Police Positive (not Special) Revolvers sold widely and sold well, chambered in .38 S&W. In pre-WW 2 times, the .38 Police Positive was standard issue with uniform policemen. In those years (1910-1940), the Smith & Wesson small frame revolvers and the Colt PP, was carried by thousands of uniform cops, primarily in the north-east and west coast PD's. For over 4-decades this cartridge was used by US law enforcement, South American PD's, with the same cartridge in a 200gr. bullet being used by our British Allies during and after WW 2. The break-top Enfield No.2Mk I* and Webley Mk IV Revolvers of the British, would last way into the 1970's, with some of these revolvers lasting way into the 1980's in former British Colonies with their respective Home Defense Forces. Some may even be around and being used today.

Not just for the woods. Comparable with .357, which is said to be a prime revolver round for urban self defense.

I find it interesting that people talk about the new bullet technology of the 9mm now but the same can be said about the .40 & .45 The Federal HST 230 grain JHP will fully expand to the size of a dime now that’s some devastation!!

This guy is so full of BS

Great video Sir!👌🏻🫡 What about after the performance after swapping, any issues?

I can’t believe this man said the 380 is a fire and flea type round 😂😂 There’s a lot of men in the ground behind a 380 and a lot of them still above ground behind the 9mm,40 and 45 acp….. People need to get that out of their minds

Just got my Glock 21

Does this have the round or square smith and Wesson j frame grips?

Yea and Glocks walk on water, fanboy always gotta enter…🤣🤣🤣

Most of what you like better about the Sig is subjective person to person. The big issue is the Sig isn't optic ready, the magazines are expensive and the triggers are really mushy. You can't just put another trigger in it because that is your gun. Some pros some cons !

I've got the 22 conversion also. Bought it as the silver gray finish and it is peeling. So I want to cerakote it like yours as black or camouflage green or maybe just polish it as the aluminum finish. It fits to my Kimber 9mm 1911 and shoots great.

Not a glock fan, but finding the Gen 5 more appealing, and I like traditional rifling myself, so it might be the Gen 5, several people have encouraged me to get the Gen 3 overall, not really a fan of the finger grooves, and would rather swappable back straps.

I agree, the Smith & Wesson has a double reset that I don't like, the Sigg has been known to discharge without pulling the trigger, 1911s need too much cleaning in 10 mm, the Glock 40mos in 10mm is the only one in this group that is better than the 20 or 29. But the 40 is hard to carry for self-defense. But as a great gun for the woods. The only one other of these that I would recommend as being second on the list is the XM elite by Springfield.
