But such extreme situations aside, revolvers are still a lot more reliable than autoloaders.

Great bit of YouTube. Just an observation though. Why did he run the mags dry? If he'd kept one up the barrel on the reload he might have trimmed those few seconds off to get a sub 10mins. And those reloaders slow old gits

To make sure the slide locked back on a empty mag, thats all. Todd is the King in ISPC. He was lazy though, as Blackhawk, now Para http://www.para-usa.com/new/why_jarrett.php
teaches you to not use the slide release though,but pull the slide back and let it run forward.

I miss my Glock 23, I bought it in '91 and sold it in 2001. In the ten years it rode at my side it performed flawlessly. I've shot all kinds of pistol, colt, browning, star, astra, tokarev, FEG, CZ, Walther, beretta, taurus , SIG, ruger, S&W. the only handgun I would think of swapping the Glock with was the Steyr M.
When you carry a pistol everyday and work as an electrician in the African heat it's got to be compact, powerful, reliable and accurate.

That said I once used a beretta model 71 in 22lr to get myself out of a sticky situation. As luck would have it my Glock was away having tritium beads installed...

I thought you fell in love with the star model B Try CAR Tecnique with a glock (Centre Axis Relock), the glock cannot handle all the recoil and hence cracks

[Haggis]

No I learned stoppage drill with a star b, what do you do in CAR drill?

[Haggis]

OK found it, don't know why the glock would crack, we did all kinds of point shooting with no trouble.

I hear very good reports about the .40S&W model from America; apparently they were built for the cartridge rather than 9mm.
The designer was originally part of Glock and they were built with the idea of being an improved model, but Glock would not produce.

Steyr are a universal favourite, trustworthy quality.

I heard that at the time, about it being made by ex glock employee. I only got my hands on the 9mm version but it shot very well. The ergonomics are even better than a glock, which impressed me the first time I shot it. The sights were weird at first but it pointed so well I would ignore them and just point shoot it, like I did with my 23 anyway.
