Re: Hampton Gun Show
If money were no object, I'd go with the Springfield EMP.
Since it is, though, I've become quite enamored with the Walther P99C and the Kahr PM45. The Walther is less expensive and a little easier to find. It has a rail for light/laser, and has a good solid feel. The DAO trigger is a little stiff, but that's okay for a last-chance gun. You can also choose a QA (quick action) model that's not as stiff.
The only reason I might choose the Kahr over it is because it uses the .45ACP. Aside from that, I'd go with the Walther all day.

Shitty ammunition causes the issue in Glocks and .45ACP 1911 because of the use of unsupported chambers.
Now, since a VAST majority of super .38 shooters reload, you'll see that it happens more frequently with them.
Again, the issue you're bringing up is not particular to Glocks, nor is it even prevalent in Glocks.
It's like trying to say that a particular make of car is shitty because it doesn't run well when you put water in the gas tank.

No. There is no way by ANY stretch of the imagination that you can rationally say that mixing alcohol and guns is a good idea. Ever.

So... just moved down here to VA from NY, and just wondering what the gun laws were like here. I see mention of a concealed carry course... Is that all you need? NY is freaking ridiculous!

Re: Hampton Gun Show
You have to be a virginia resident or military with PCS orders here, too. Take the class and pass a background check and that's it.

Re: Hampton Gun Show
Bah, todays +P 9mm rounds will do the same damage as a 40 S&W. Not so much on the .45 though.
To me, 40S&W is the best choice for carry. If it is a 1911 though, it WILL be a .45. 9mm has its place for carry though. Smaller guns, with a higher capacity.
Now we all need to write in and support the bill to allow us to conceal into restaurants and other facilities with consumption of alcohol on premise.

And like I said, my next gun will be the Springfield XD40 3 inch or the Kimber Ultra Carry 2.
