  1. I own a Beretta PX4 Storm compact and an M&P Shield, both in 9mm. Both are a joy to shoot (I have the Apex kit installed on the Shield and it improved it 100%. The Storm has always been incredible right out of the box–over 2000 rounds so far and not one failure of any type).
    After evaluating a number of options, I chose the P938. Yesterday was my first opportunity to get some range time with it. I started with some American Eagle 124 gr, since it is widely reported that there are issues feeding the 938 115 gr. I put about 30 rounds of the Eagle through the gun with no issues, then tried 115 gr Winchester WB. Immediate FTE. I shifted back to the 124 gr. No problems.
    Following about 50 rounds I tried a number of different SD rounds…various Hormady, Federal and Remington ranging from 124 gr to 147. All fed and ejected perfectly. I then tried Hormady Critical Defense 115 gr and had no issues. Perhaps the nickel casing helps?

    In any event the gun feels good in the hand and is extremely easy to point and shoot. Recoil is no different than my Shield, as far as I can tell. My preferred SD ammo will be 135 and 147, just because it feels the best and had the best accuracy out to 7 yards.

    Dis-assembly is easy. Re-assembly a bit of a hassle but with practice I got the hang of it. I prefer the Beretta and Shield procedures and design but have no real issues with the Sig.

    The workmanship of the P938 is really nice and tight…very high quality. The biggest surprise was how easy it was to shoot well. I think because it’s not a polymer frame, the extra weight just makes it perform and feel better. I only have the 6 round magazine now, and have average size hands. I had no issues getting a good grip.

    I’m really pleased with the purchase after the first outing.

  2. Very very sad when a website like this monitors commentary & removes it weather it’s truth or not! Shame on you people , this is no different than whats already happening in this country, this isn’t a free & righteous forum to leave your opinion, sad sad sad

  3. Hopefully El Paso gets rid of Joe Pickett – D. Bastard killed the open carry bill by not allowing it to come to a vote. Then of course Perry didn’t make it part of the special sessions either. Texas seriously needs to clean house.

  4. The people will just lay down and take it! Even when the boot to their throat gets compressed even harder around their necks, they will still do nothing.
    Even when they do, it will be and is too late to change the course of this catastrophe that is about to happen here the former United States.

    It isn’t too hard to understand, once educated about the subject, that the moment the United States became the United States of America with a Corporate Board located in a Foreign Section of Land called Washington DC called Congress, the illusion of a free nation has been fully embedded in the minds of the zombies we call citizens.

    We are a Corporate Nation (thus why all your ID, Birth Certificate, SS Card, and all documents in your name are “CAPITALIZED”. Research for yourself.

    There is only one solution to our severe problem in this nation, and sadly it will never happen.
    The only solution that will change this nation back to it’s once great status, is this:

    We, the People, MUST throw the entire Federal Reserve Corporation Central Bank out of this country and make it LAW that banks can no longer ever again create deposits out of thin air. Then, We, the People, MUST throw the entire Internal Revenue Service out of this country and make it a LAW that the People’s labor wages can never be taxed again.
    Neither of these entities existed in this country until December 1913. That’s the date the entire financial system and the issuing of our own currency was taken from Congress and given to the Private Corporation Banking Cartel.
    The USA never taxed labor until 1913 when they changed the Constitution (16th Amendment) which change indirect unconstitutional taxation and made taxes a direct tax which is against the Constitution.

    97% of the American People have no idea in the world how our banking and financial system works. Therefore, they have blindly been robbed and have no clue.

    This nation is finished. There are Chinese and Russian troops on American Soil today. The big ship in San Francisco which people say is a data center for Google is something you and all of us should be very concerned about.
    Those ships are “Forwardly Placed Satellite Up-link Stations” !!!
    All War Nations use them for communications when they are in foreign lands readying for war or invasion. The USA does not use these for the simple fact that the USA controls all the satellites, and foreign nations can block our communications. But, we can block theirs.

    Your government has betrayed you! They are helping the invasion, and they are preparing to go underground until the invaders have taken care of the top dwellers!

    Our Forefathers would puke if they could see what the ignorant uneducated uninformed people have allowed these politicians to do to this country!

    And for those people who think they have it all figured out:

    It isn’t what you know that hurts you, it’s the things you think you know which are wrong that causes you harm. – Mark Twain

  5. That is just plain scary. If that’s not enough to make you move, I don’t know what is. The fact that the City has the right to summarily confiscate your legally purchased assets (?) – and collectible lever guns at that – and/or instantly deem you a criminal retroactively – sure is one heck of a scary dose of communism. I don’t know what else you can call that.

  6. My first Mosin…

    And as always that “declining ownership” nonsense is just that, saw scads of first time buyers in line ahead of me, including several women.

  7. NYC must be where evil cowboy action shooters go when they die. I’d like to see the statistics on how often any one of those rifles has been used in crime. I’m guessing close to zero for all of them. What a joke.

  8. My parents live across the street from PSA headquarters and store. Got a bag and pmag deal, and one of those ati pump shotguns for 150. Got 100 rounds of .223 and went and fired the AR I bought in the PSA preblack Friday deals. Also got a new cell phone and some jeans πŸ™‚

  9. They tell us, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a federal or UN guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance, by lying supinely on our backs, and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? We are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. One hundred millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Nebraska! The war is inevitable and let it come! I repeat it, let it come. It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace– but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is LIFE SO DEAR, or PEACE SO SWEET, as to be purchased at the PRICE of CHAINS AND SLAVERY? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH! ~ Patrick Henry

  10. Concerning SC and its “gun friendly” governor Nikki Haley, be aware she is a RINO for all intents and purposes. She gets friendly write ups in gun rags for posing with AR15s and lobbying gun businesses to re locate to SC, but she invariably shows her true colors by using state agencies like DHEC to close down midwife facilities, forcing pregnant moms to use hospitals for their deliveries at much higher expense. So much for keeping govt out of peoples lives. She was also in charge of the SC Tax Dept when hackers stole every single SC taxpayers info, after being told the dept had serious security problems. Given the chance she will probably waffle on gun rights as well. SC has a rep for being gun friendly but actually has some of the most anti gun cops and DAs in its bigger towns and cities, and they are ultimately the ones who determine your “gun rights.” SC is quixotic and weird, just look at Lindsey Graham for crying out loud, that pretty much sums up SC!

  11. Nothing. Not a single thing. Stayed home and hung out with the family. It was relaxing, didn’t cost me a dime.

    Besides which, I hate the crowds. I’ll save up a bit and pay a few dollars more on a day when I don’t have stand in line for hours and maybe not even find what I came for anyway.

  12. This is why you never, ever comply with registration. Period.

    “Oh, uh, yes. I seem to have lost all of those guns recently to [insert plausible scenario here].”

    Hell, report them all stolen and bury them somewhere for later retrieval if you have to. But this is absolutely proof-fucking-positive that the anti-Humanist, anti-rights, regressive, fascist, obstructionist gun control lobby DOES as a matter of INARGUABLE FACT want to BAN ALL GUNS. I’m not going to hear anything different from those Bolshevik piss-ants. I simply won’t listen to it, and instead I’m going to rub their faces in this and dictate to them to eat their words — and they’re going to do it and they’re going to like it.

    “We’re not going to take your rifle away.”

    Uh-huh.

    “We’re not going to take your shotgun away.”

    Bullshit.

    “We’re not going to take your handgun away.”

    Kiss my bleach-white Irish ass. We know how you think, motherfucker, and if your mouth is moving you are lying, SIR.

  13. I didn’t do any Black Friday shopping, but I was out and about doing some errands. I was in the market for a Hogue HandsAll Jr. for my CW9, so I swung by the LS and snagged one. Wow–a $10 great buy. The palm swell perfectly fits my hand, and the rubber gives a great tactile feel that is nonskid but not sticky. I would have bought some range ammo, but the only FMJ in 9 mm they had was Fiocci at $30 a box. No thank you very much.

    Nice little pocket pistol, Robert. New lady friend, I would guess.

  14. I wrote the company. They advised that they will have a .45 ACP Version and Sig .357 Version coming out in 2015. They also advised that a .22 Long Rife And .22 WMR version are currently in the works.

  15. It was a bittersweet Black Friday for me: I had to retire my CZ 82 from carry duty due to a persistent slide stop spring failure, and ordered a M&P Shield 9mm.

    I’ll definitely miss carrying the CZ and it will still hold a place of honor in my safe, but I am happy that I’ll be getting a modern, dependable sidearm with a good reputation as its successor.

  16. Yep – and we are going to devalue those collectibles by taking them to a gunsmith so he can saw down the tube magazines. That 1780’s technology is not acceptable to the ruling class in NYC.

  17. At this point, given all we have been through under the Obama administration, anyone who is not stocked up on ammo has nobody to blame but himself. Seriously.

    I have a permanent “reserve” of ammo for all eventualities, then I rotate stock in and out of my “range use/training” ammo stock.

  18. In the last year I’ve more than doubled my desired round count for centerfire calibers and am working towards keeping 10X as much .22 LR around. I’ll be making small purchases for quite some time building up to those new targets.

    A commonly mentioned figure for domestic ammo production was 12 billion rounds per year. With around 100 million firearms owners that comes to 120 rounds per year. Imagine the three box daily limit at wallyworld being an annual limit: one box of 50 .22LR, one box of 50 centerfire handgun rounds and one box of 20 centerfire rifle rounds.

  19. The problem isnt economic.

    The problem is socialism.

    The violence in ethnic neighborhoods is a direct consequence of socialist , neoliberal policies.

    What self respecting man takes a handout check?None. Crime may be a violent and harsh way to earn a living, but it offers something no government check ever will-self respect.

  20. As long as the Democrats rule America, our rights are not safe and I intend to buy up every single round that I can find at a reasonable price.

    I would advise all of you to do exactly the opposite.
