I only had an occasional stovepipe on my 2 Marks. I slightly rounded the corners on the magazines as shown and installed VQ exact edge extractors. I have not had a stovepipe since.

I don't know of a sticky for this one but this may help with your problem.

All of my defense rounds are hydra-shock. I have never had to use them but the stats look good and all of my carry weapons like them.

For this reason, we ruled out anything with a safety. This left us with either a DAO automatic without a safety or a revolver. Just something to ...

Probably best to let her look and try a selection. You might be surprised with what she likes. Shooting a variety is also a good idea. Some of the smaller pistols, like the Air Weights have a bit of unwelcome recoil for some folks. Good point, my girfriend watched me shoot an LCP 380 and wanted no ...

After looking at many different handguns, my girlfriend chose a Walther PPS 9MM. She has small hands so anything with a double-stack mag was ruled out. After looking at, and holding many different models it came down to either a Kahr P9 or the Walther PPS. She chose the Walther based on comfort and ...
