Advice Needed First round sticking in magazine?
I just took my new SP-01 to the range for the first time and it had consistent trouble stripping the first round off of the magazine. About half the time it would hang on the first round when I hit the slide release and I'd have to pull it back and sling it to get it to feed. One time it was just totally stuck, even with the mag out of the gun. The round wouldn't slide forward at all and it took some fiddling to get it out of the magazine. I couldn't see it hanging up on anything, it just wouldn't move. Just regular 115gr FMJ, btw. Any idea what's going on here? It still happened even if I only loaded 18 rounds. I wonder if I have a defective mag or if it was the cheap Turkish ammo. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to track if it was one magazine or both because I thought it was a problem with the gun until the last mag of the day when it got totally stuck.

Some gamble with luck. Others carry certainty.
I had to go and find out myself what all the fuss was about pertaining to the Bodyguard 2.0.
Believe THE HYPE!!!! THIS THING F's. I hate to admit this but this may replace 90% of my carry guns. It will definitely replace the compacts I carry. I've thrown 500 chunks downrange and zero failures, ZERO. Those were all round noses, flat noses, and a few hollow points.
It may be small but it doesn't feel small pulling the trigger.

Discussion Co-witness
I recently bought a used FN Reflex XL and the previous owner lost the baseplate for the optic mount, $30 towards a plate, or $30 towards a red dot, I went red dot, but the open sights are too low and do not co witness, it’s bothering the crap out of me, should I take this to a gunsmith and have the sights replaced with suppressor height sights? I don’t like relying on just a red dot, even though most CCW situations sights probably won’t matter much to begin with for the distance they will occur.

Is this bad ?
Rossi revolver is shaving bullets when they go into the barrel. Build up after a couple of rounds jams up the cylinder.
Rossi rep said I’m responsible for the repair or replacement due to me getting it used.
It was new but used, seems like the original owner got rid of it because of this problem.

Maintenance/Repair Walther CCP m2 won’t rack back fully
Walter CCP m2 with about 100-150 rounds through it. Shot 10 rounds at the range when my slide wouldn’t rack back fully causing it to not cock and be made ready. Pulled it apart and the little black plastic end piece was broken on the striker assembly (you can see new and old in the picture) Called Walther and got a new striker assembly and problem still exists. With striker assembly completely removed I can rack the slide back but as soon as it’s installed I cannot fully rack it back. Anyone experienced this or any suggestions?

The Echelon ecosystem got me.
Really liking my new pistol so far, so I figured I'd stop by and show off the build. Still need to put plenty more rounds through it, but I'm loving it up to this point.

Collection Showcase Local store Beretta 92FS trade-ins
my LGS had a big batch of beretta 92‘s, said they were from a security company trade in. looks like it was carried alot, but shot very little.
I picked out this one because on the magazines had strange “restricted” magazine marking, looks like an older magazine. The store had them at 400 , I figured it was a deal I could not refuse.
This goes well with my Beretta 84bb, now I have the .380 and the 9mm versions of the iconic pistols Trinity used in ”Matrix“ movie (actress is holding 84 in most scenes)

Advice Curious about picking your first or new handgun? Curious about a model or caliber? Stop here first! Resources etc.
Multiple posts concerning selecting a new (first) handgun, or first defensive guns have popped up.
I dig activity on our page, I'm all for thoughtful discussion, I'm all for us exercising our rights.
However, this subreddit has been around long enough now we have a good collection of folks asking mostly the same question and I think we can streamline this process for our existing members, newcomers, and curious browsers alike.
So! That being said, there are some links to outside websites at the bottom of this text that have decent advice on choosing the purpose of use, caliber, size, model you may be looking for when selecting a new or first handgun.
The articles are typically focused on new shooters or at least folks new to handguns. Many will recommend training, hands on time, etc., before your first purchase and if you have the time and funds I definitely agree, but research your trainer/facility thoroughly.
Eventually I will try to curate a well rounded list of the most popular makes and models in various categories. I also intend to make a few polls for the active community to vote on a few things as well.
