Anyone still .40 S&W?

[Waylander]

I'm leaning heavy toward the P30L. Was the factory trigger decent? I've shot Pappabears 9mm, but he often mods triggers and stuff.

It depends. I have dry fired P30 DA/SA and the long heavy pull from hammer down is brutal! I own the LEM which is the closest to striker fire and it’s great. If I were going to carry a P30, if I couldn’t get an LEM it would have to be a model with a safety and I’d carry cocked and locked.

$279 ain’t a bad deal…

I was poking around Aim's site and noticed the Gen 2 G22, in worse finish condition is $70 more.

I use/used 40 S&W for my game guns. Little bigger bullet for those "break the perf" misses and loaded to minor power factor in my G35 is like shooting a 22lr. When you suck as bad as I do any edge over the younger/faster shooting buds is welcome.

Some of you guys would never have survived the old Colt Official Police revolvers. I can fire a P30 DA long pull trigger all day and it's a dream compared to some of the things I've shot. I was 9 years old shooting a Ruger Security Six as my regular range gun.

I was eyeing a USP 40. But the P30L caught my eye. It's 3/4 the price, and Pappabear said he preferred the P30L over the USP.

The P30's are more ergonomic and adjustable to your hands than the USP. The USP feels sort of like a brick in comparison, both are quite robust however and generally very reliable.

I got that Aim Surplus Gen 4 G22 yesterday. Curiously, the foam in the original Glock box was totally deteriorated and falling apart and kind of sticky. Some of it was sticking to the pistol. I didn't get a pick of the mess because it was too nasty NOT to clean up immediately. All of the foam had to be trashed, and I had to sweep up and vacuum the area where I was working. Weird.

The gun had the mag catch set for a left handed h0m0. So I had to learn how to fix that since I'm the only remaining gun owner in American who ISN'T a certified Glock Armorer.

The slide has finish wear from holster and being laid on a concrete shooting bench. I detail stripped the slide and it didn't appear to have had many rounds based on the lack of carbon in the firing pin and extractor holes. The gun was filthy from imbecilic storage, but it seems to have been from a department with low training budget allocation. Night sights are about 50% glow. If the gun runs well, I'll put good target sights on it.

I'll add a pic later in case anyone is interested.

I didn't think a Tennifer G3 G22 could rust until I examined some Police issued ones...

I wonder how they got them to rust. Bad storage probably.

Getting out of cold office or car into hot, humid air. Condensation plus never wiping it off or keeping a little oil on it.

Here's that Gen 4 PD trade in below my old Gen 2:
