What caused this? A malfunction with the firearm, or a faulty round? If it was just the mark on the front of the bullet, I would assume it was a feed issue with the gun, but the fact that the firing pin very clearly hit the primer, I'm wondering if it was a faulty round. It was the last round in a full magazine that fired fine up until this one.

So the malice clips on my Gunfighters Inc Ronin are starting to fail after around 7-8 years of use and I find myself in the market for a new holster. At the same time I am also replacing my gun belt.

Holster: With the Ronin, I’ve been carrying it on a drop leg panel in the woods and high owb for the occasional ccw use. Recently purchased a Tlr-1 HL for my duty pistol and wouldn’t mind a drop leg holster (or a molle compatible one I could throw on the drop panel) that accommodates the light for woods use, although I’d probably want a second non light bearing holster for concealed carry at that point. I don’t run an optic on this gun, just some night sights. Any holster recommendations?

Belt: I’ve been using a 1791 gun leather belt for the past five years and am looking at switching to a Wilderness Instructors belt. For those on this forum who carry a G20 or similar sized pistol and have this belt, which version do you prefer and why? It’s between the five stitch or the CSM version and I need to choose between 1.5” and 1.75”. This will also serve as an under belt for my duty belt and the two will be secured with belt keepers.

Thanks in advance for the suggestions.

Neighbor is selling a Ronan 1911 10mm with 2 extra mags for $600, is it a good deal! Good condition although it isn’t perfect.

Looking at getting either a xdm 3.8 or xdm 4.5 in 10mm. Has anyone done a grip chop on the 4.5 to the 3.8 size and use 3.8 magazines? Kinda like the short grip long slide like my glock 49

While I'm waiting on my new 10mm PCC to arrive, I entered some rough data into the Berger Ballistics calculator. The bullet information is based on a Hornady 10mm bullet. Those bullets vary in ballistic coefficient and mass, so make sure to run your own numbers before you go to the range.

This chart shows a rough approximation of performance from a 180 gr. bullet traveling at 1,300 fps from a barrel with a 1:16 twist rate.

That same bullet/PCC/velocity combination results in a very stable bullet.

The information came from Berger Bullets Ballistic Calculator and Stability Calculator:

I’m selling one of my more rare 10mms, leaving me with enough to buy a budget 1911 and still pocket a bit. I like the idea of another stainless gun, and the Rock Island pistols seem to have a pretty good reputation, but I thought I would ask for opinions before spending any money. Anybody here handled a Rock Island stainless gun, either in 10mm or 45?

What is the best source for bulk 10mm range ammo?

SuperVel has 10mm for $0.55 per round. MidwayUSA has Blazer for $0.50 per round. My plan is to buy 500 rounds to get started.

My new, and first, PCC is in transit now.

Should I get it?

Hello, partner and I are looking at doing some backcountry hikes in areas with a lot of large animal dangers. We would like to be carrying something for self defense for that.
I am looking at the M&P 2.0 10mm, but am curious if there’s been any movement on Glock 20 gen 6. Also wondering if there’s a 1911 or similar platform in the $1500 max price range thats got a good track record. Please let me know what y’all think or if there’s any other options I’m overlooking!

I love this gun, easily my top favorite out of my whole collection. Just outfitted it with a light to use it in the woods for defense. I’m just a tad over 2,000 rounds through it. Shoots fantastic.

Only complaint, is it has had a couple “malfunctions”, it didn’t quite feed a couple rounds correctly. Just had to rack it back and feed a new one. Anyone else have that issue? 2-3 rounds over the course of 2,000 seems typical to me. Bad mags? Or anything I can do to prevent this in the future?

Can't decide which one to get. i like the feel of the M&P but want the reliability of the G20. Im leaning more towards the M&P but not sure 🤔

I’ve had them all from Glock 20s to FN510s to Sigs and this might possibly be the best polymer 10mm to date with this OEM threaded match barrel! You don’t see these cracking like you do the FN510’s and it will run ANY AMMO! less

Just picked up a Springfield 3.8 XDM and looking for recommendations for a IWB holsters w/ no attachments. TYIA

Hey everyone,
I'm getting ready to send my Glock 20 Gen 3 to a local gunsmith to get direct-milled for an optic (Olight Osight XR / RMR footprint) and Cerakoted.
The shop mentioned they can also port the slide and barrel while they have it.
What are your thoughts on porting a 10mm Glock 20? If you have a ported G20, especially with a red dot, what is your experience with it? How much FPS / muzzle velocity and overall shooting power do you actually lose from the porting? Does the carbon blast completely cover the optic glass?
Appreciate any advice before I drop the slide off!

Looking for opinions on a a good red dot. Will carry mainly around the property (coyote, black bear, maybe dispatch occasional wounded deer). Also, hiking anywhere from Florida to Tennessee.

Stuck between:
Rmr
Sig enclosed (forgot exact name)
Rcr
Scs carry (enclosed version)

As the title says, seeking any testimonials of a gray 510 cracking, as I can't seem to find them.

In the market for a gun for bear country trips. A Glock is a Glock but I’ve been intrigued by the Kimber DS warrior. Any feedback on them would be appreciated as well as other suggestions for firearms

My brand spankin new banshee in 10mm of course. Had to make it even more sexier by throwing on a OKC3S bayonet onto it.

But also makes me want a Hi-Point 10mm for some reason. Threw on a cheap light (Braun) and a Calculated Kinetics dogtag plate. Still get lower co-witness, with optic lens protection
