I must say, I’m glad to see this video from Ryan:
When we were on handgun radio we talked about Kimbers and their reliability issues, and Ryan got angry emails. We chuckled over this. He also talked about bad reports from the Glock 42, and we all mentioned how we didn’t really get it.
Still the idea that you can put a .380 into a 9×19-sized subcompact, what you will get back is still a defensive caliber, and very good sized gun, but much less recoil. I’d still prefer a bigger caliber, hence why my pocket guns are in .357 Mag, and .45 ACP +P. Still I’m a big guy and I can control a lot of recoil.
See? Not everything in the gun blogs is people getting down to hate guns!
Hell I’d say the issues with the Remington R-51 are just the opposite! So many of us wanted to LOVE the gun. I have no need for a subcompact 9×19, but DAMN I really was wishing this gun well. We’re not hating, we’re disappointed.
Maybe now Glock will move up to the G43 subcompact 9×19 or better in .40 S&W since it will more easily be retrofitted to 9×19.
