[@gerardboles1124]

@SickCall Ranger my dad has his M&P Shield kick brass strait back at him sometimes and my brother has that problem when he shoots my P365XL. I never have a problem with my P365XL but when he shoots it is kicks brass straight back about 40% of the time.

[@gerardboles1124]

@SickCall Ranger I don’t know. My dad is huge and my brother is pretty light framed. The shield only does it with Dad and the P365XL only does it with him and my bro. Neither if them get very high grips.

[@MrKingArthurhk]

@@gerardboles1124 That is an extractor issue. A Glock with a messed up extraction will pelt you with hot brass in your forehead every time. I am used to hot brass from qualifications where you might get brass down your shirt from the guy next to you. You get used to it. It doesn’t mean you have to like it and extractors can be fixed.

[@MrKingArthurhk]

@@gerardboles1124 Meat grips make great human ransom rests. However, they have a hard time working as subcompact. Skinny bastards like me tend to get too much finger on the subcompact trigger and push rounds left as a right hand shooter. Full and large frame handgun, don’t do that to me.

[@michaelmiles6398]

The barrel-chamber locks up with the top of the slide that's why the port is on the side of the slide. The barrel tilt is also reduced. All this is to improve accuracy.

Not a kimber fan. Bought a micro 9 had to send it back right after purchase. Wouldn't cycle a full mag. I thought a $750 pistol should work perfectly right out of the box. The other factor is that highpoint has a better warranty.

No Beretta, no CZ, no FN, no HK, yet Kimber gets it right with the superior design for optics. I’m sure I missed another manufacturer who hasn’t did the double stack in a single stack space yet. Not really surprised about FN. The 509 strikers will break on 1 out of 10 buyers and they still refuse to admit there is any issue. CZ must have been too busy buying Colt to design their own. Beretta took HK’s lead and continue to milk old designs. Did I miss anyone? WTG Kimber, nice to see you pushing the industry forward! 🤷‍♂️
