They make a subcompact double stack in 10mm (the G29), but it is shortened in both barrel and grip. They have a .45 version as well (G30) The standard mags for it are 10 round.
I wouldn't mind a nice lever gun in 45.70 or something like that. I don't have one of those yet either
Main difference is the grip angle. Glocks tend to be a little more extreme. M&Ps have the same angle as a 1911, and that was by design.
Whats the recoil like with that short grip? Are you still able to control it with a more or less standard grip or did it take retraining to handle effectively?
I wonder how hot you could load that cartridge safely? It would depend on your guns chamber and bolt design I'd think, but a lever gun might only be good for low power black powder loads.. Still a pretty decent round..
Go wood grips. I've always thought the mother of pearl or ivory to be a little too flashy to put on a deadly weapon. Seems disrespectful of its purpose. Unless its a true classic, then I wouldn't maim the thing changing the grips out.
Well they make an AR variant but those are new so too expensive for this brand new business owner Le sigh
Glock 30 is about as close as you will get. Grip is almost too short for me though, with out a mag extension.
Texas is an open carry state. If you can conceal you can open (in public). I don't tend to patronize businesses that don't allow it. My main concern is controlling the weapon drawing or shooting. I've got weak ring fingers on either hand from two separate injuries (boxer's scratch required plate to fix and mallet finger from a door leaving me with little feeling and some minor discomfort) so don't really trust a small grip. Non-cops are responsible 100% for each and every shot in my state (cops particularly exempted from the rule to check your backstop. such horseshit) and I'm not about to catch a manslaughter charge.
Looking at Texas Armslist, I see Ruger SP101s and GP100s for between $500 and $600. Equivalent S&W run $100-$200 more. I don't think I'd recommend Taurus or Charter Arms.
Like any other firearms, it depends on make, model and caliber, but I think you can find a good one in .357 for as low as $350. Nowadays, it's easy to Google any of the gun websites when looking at a firearm. I've done that a few times while standing in the pawn shop reading reviews and prices. I'm partial to .357s since I can use .38s for practice, espeically for the wife, then load it with .357 JHPs for home defense. In my wife's case, it's a +P .38 revolver, a good compromise. The top two are single-action, but that isn't a problem for me. The bottom two Taurus' are reliable and economical handguns. https://www.sportsmansguide.com/department/guns?d=185 http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/ttag-reviews/
Compact versions of all the popular calibers of pistols always give you more muzzle flip and felt recoil. 10 mm is a powerful cartridge. In a compact gun, it would give you a lot of recoil. Any time you go to a compact pistol you are giving up something for the ability to easily conceal it. You give up some magazine capacity and handling under recoil. I have a Glock 26 that I carry often. This is a compact 9 mm with a 10 round magazine. I find that this is a good compromise. The gun can carry 11 rounds (Glock also makes and 11 round magazine with a finger extension you can buy), and its handling isn't bad because it's a 9 mm. I've shot the compact .40's and 45's, and I don't like them. The full size Glock 21, which is .45 caliber, is my favorite Glock. But I don't care for the compact versions of .45. I've shot them, and there's more recoil and less accuracy. You mentioned that you've thought about a wheel gun. I would not consider buying one that wasn't a Smith and Wesson or Ruger. Other brands may tempt you because they're cheaper, but I strongly recommend paying the extra money.
I have no idea. I want the full sized Glock 20. It's a bucket list item. The only 10mm I've ever shot is the old S&W 1006.
I like those single-actions. So it's show and tell time? Oh ... OK Top: Ruger Mk IV 22/45 Lite with Yankee Hill suppressor and Holosun red dot 2nd from top: Smith and Wesson Model 19 3rd row: Glock 26 and Glock 42 4th row: Walther TPH and Ruger LCR (both are .22 cal) Not shown: Glock 21
Build it in 300 BLK I've thought about getting a Chiappa Rhino. I don't know enough about them though or anyone who has one locally. The round fires at the bottom of the cylinder instead of the top, which gives it interesting recoil properties from what I have read.
Yeah, it is! Good all-around handgun. Not so much for concealment, but if that is not what you have it for, it's a winner. Home defense, target shooting, or while hunting. I carried that gun in your fair state a couple years ago while hog hunting. It was a back-up to my AR.
S+W here ccw I have a single stack Taurus PT 709 slim as well as a Millenium 2 but the 709 is smaller, all are 9 mm
Yes it's beautiful, but it will set you back between $700 to $1200: http://www.gunsinternational.com/gu...ith-wesson-revolvers-model-19.cfm?cat_id=1322 The Taurus model 65 is comparable but at $400 more affordable as is the model 66. S&W model 19, 13 and 65 are similar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith_&_Wesson_Model_13 I used to have a S&W 686. Beautiful handgun and I loved it, but lost it to the ex.
OOOOO not a bad idea! Only thing with a rhino ( i thought about one for my first pistol but went with an automatic) is that if you put your thumbs in the wrong place the flare that escapes from the cylinder will burn the **** out of you. Other than that its supposed to be really intuitive to aim since the barrel itself is more in line with your own natural lines.
Yeah, well that's true of all revolvers though. Stick your thumb out on a 500 and bye bye. Interesting review here: https://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/2011/4/20/anything-but-ordinary-the-chiappa-rhino/
