Ok cool. I thought the G31 barrel had the same outside diameter of a 9mm barrel. If that’s the case, that both models, the G22 and the G31 have the same outside diameter of their barrels then you are good.

Seriously Ray? https://kkmprecision.com/product/22-match-357sig-2/ Did you even try? #messagetogarcia

This would work, but to do it right, you should use a conversion barrel. The opening in the slide at the muzzle that the barrel passes through on a Glock 22 is designed for the outside diameter of a .40 cal barrel. Putting a G31 barrel with the outside diameter for a 9mm barrel in a G22 slide will result in some slop. The conversion barrels will give you the proper outside diameter for the G22 slide on a .357sig barrel.

All you should need is a conversion barrel.

@T1Defense So, what kind of file do you need the desired graphic in to do that? If someone had a JPEG or PDF file of a graphic, can you do it? Or do you need the graphic supplied in a specific file format?

What’s uncomfortable to you may be just fine to me. What I find most comfortable is carrying a gun I know I shoot better than anything else. I also don’t find carrying a larger/heavier gun uncomfortable. Like I said in an earlier post, bad guys routinely carry big guns. They don’t care about how comfortable it is. They care only about one thing - winning. They live in a world where that’s the norm. That’s how it is and they won’t be caught “lacking” if the time comes. Why can’t a legally armed citizen have the same mindset? Yes, I agree - an AR 15 would be ideal and if I could look into my crystal ball and I knew I was getting into a gunfight, I would either stay home or make sure I had access to a rifle. But that’s not a realistic answer - and justifying the carry of a pocket gun simply because you can’t carry a rifle is silliness at best and petulance at worst.... you may shoot the rifle best (as do I), but I am sure there is something between an AR and a pocket gun that remains as concealable, is more ”shootable”, and is more capable than a pistol the size of a wallet. But anyway, since my crystal ball is in the shop, I try to stack the deck in my favor in a reasonable fashion and carry a pistol that is reliable, effective, capable, and still concealable. Like I said - I carry a G19/23 or G34/35 sized gun in plain clothes every day, all day, in all seasons. I don’t find it uncomfortable and it does not inhibit me whatsoever from doing anything. I have never printed or shown and never been caught carrying. Yes, some forethought is required, some planning, and smart equipment choices like a quality belt designed to carry a gun and a good holster must be made, but if you can carry a small gun, you can carry a larger one. YMMV, IMO, and all that..... Everyone lucky enough to be able to legally carry a firearm should carry whatever they want. Just be honest and realistic about what you choose and why. Acknowledge some guns are less capable and you are taking a calculated risk. And when giving advice to others, the responsible thing to do is to reveal the choices you made as part of a compromise and not an absolute.

Carrying a gun should be comforting. It doesn’t necessarily have to be comfortable.

Oops! Forgot a couple things...

Same. Just start where you think you need to. http://www.ironmind.com/product-info/grip-strength-training-tools/captains-of-crush-grippers/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwnKHlBRDLARIsAMtMHDHxj65t3F9aMGi1SGaVkipB8pQA3tKlu7_IMVHh6mfLjJgcmO63aDsaAmpDEALw_wcB They have a whole program to build strength.

Mindset should be - Winning a gunfight is the priority. That means having the gun I shoot the best available on the day I need to protect myself and my loved ones. Concealability is a concern, but shouldn’t be your primary decision point - IMO. Then build your concealment options around that. It isn’t hard to conceal a G19 sized pistol. Shit, bad guys routinely carry and conceal full size handguns. Hell, we took a replica Colt Walker (4.5lb black powder revolver) off a dude once. Didn’t know the guy was carrying until we put hands on it. Not for nothing, I conceal carry either a Glock23/19 or a Glock 35 every day, all day when not wearing a duty belt at work. Occasionally I’ll carry a 5” 1911, sometimes I will add a Kahr PM9 (almost the same size and weight a a G43) on my ankle front pocket, as a BUG. I have never ever had a concealment issue with full-size guns whether I’m dressed for Winter, spring, summer, or fall weather. It is a system - gun, holster, belt, clothes. At the end of the day, carrying a pistol is a personal choice. You should absolutely do what you think is good for you. I’m just saying, it is not difficult to properly conceal a more capable pistol than a G43.

From a pure shooting standpoint, the bottom finger of your grip - preferably the pinky - is the most influential out of all your fingers when considering speed and accuracy. Can you shoot well without your pinky on the grip? Sure. But nearly everyone on the planet will shoot better with all of their fingers in contact with the grip. It’s leverage. The longer (talking length - not time, here) your grip is, the more leverage you have to combat recoil induced muzzle flip. Would you swing a hammer with your pinky off the grip? Turn a wrench using only your first three fingers? Hold a baseball bat or tennis racket with your pinkies hanging out in space? Of course not. It feels weak and uncomfortable. I agree with Ray. I see it all the time when people are buying guns. They want the smallest gun they can get, then they realize they shoot it better with a full size grip and fix it with mag/grip extensions If you are gonna get grip extensions anyway, just get the bigger gun. You will shoot it better, it will absorb recoil better, your split times will be faster, your draw will be cleaner. Ok, sure, it’s a little heavier than the smaller gun. By what? A few oz? Example: Glock 19: 20.9oz Glock 43: 16.2 oz So in an effort to save 4.7 oz someone will choose to carry a less capable gun that they don’t shoot as well. Then add an extended mag that makes the grip (the hardest part of the gun to conceal) the same size as the bigger gun anyway? Doesn’t make sense. Smaller guns have their purpose in certain circumstances, but a full size gun, that you can get ALL of your fingers on - especially your pinky - will almost always be easier to shoot accurately and fast.

A laser will not help shot placement under duress. Just because your laser is on something, doesn’t mean your bullet will hit it. You realize that most POA/POI discrepancies have nothing to do with sight and sight pictures and everything to do with grip, trigger, and anticipation problems. You will have the same issues with a laser as you will with iron sights because the laser does nothing to help with the primary reasons for missing your target.. If you would have hit 3” low with irons, you will hit 3” low with your laser. The laser doesn’t clean up your trigger press, or fix your grip, or prevent anticipation. On the other hand, the light will let you identify and choose an appropriate area to target and will help with “Aim small, Miss small” conditions.

Why a laser? You’d be better served with a light and buying ammo to practice with the money you would have spent on the laser. As for light - Surefire X300U is my choice.

This is the “Sig” AR that has my attention. The Fire Control Unit’s X03: https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2019/01/30/shot-2019-fire-control-units-x03-a-p320-fcu-based-ar-15/ along with the other Fire Control offerings:

Just watched the Netflix movie “The Highwaymen” with Costner and Harrelson. Based on Texas Rangers Frank Hamer and Maney Gault while on the hunt for Bonnie and Clyde. Decent movie with lots of good classic guns: S&W M1917, Colt Monitor, cutdown BAR, Thompsons, 1903s, Remington Model 81, Winchester Model 1892 Pretty good way to spend a couple of hours.

FYI: the Honorable Roger T. Benitez was born in Havana, Cuba. He understands these communists and sees right through them: "This conclusion should not be considered groundbreaking. It is simply a straightforward application of constitutional law to an experimental governmental-overreach that goes far beyond traditional boundaries of reasonable gun regulation."

My first duty gun was a 4013 TSW - the .40 version of the 3913. It was a pretty good gun. Low capacity and heavy though for a duty gun. If I ever see a 4013TSW with the light rail for sale, I will scoop it up.

Same videos, wa talked about this in late 2017: https://www.njgunforums.com/forum/index.php?/topic/88250-crazy-russian-training-video/&tab=comments#comment-1134674

That was not an ND. That was an intentional shot to the ground. It’s a crowd control move they use to disperse people closing in.

Look at the Ruger American Ranch rifle. Same concept, excellent accuracy, about 1/2 the price and it has a plastic stock you don’t have to worry about. Mag fed and comes in .223, .300blk, and 7.62x39 amongst other calibers. https://ruger.com/products/americanRifleRanch/models.html

Names of other 'shooters/martyrs' and some famous historical battles against the Muslims. For example: Shipka Pass (Balkan Mountains in Bulgaria) and Vienna 1683 were turning point battle against the Ottomans (Muslims). Acre 1189 was a battle/siege (1189-1191) against the Muslims lead by Saladin. The battle of Чесменская('Chesme' with Russians vs. Turks) was a major defeat of the Turkish navy. The battle of Скутари ('Scutari' with Serbs & Montenegrins vs. Ottomans) a defeat of the Ottomans and one of the last battles pushing them out of the Balkans.
