40 and 357sig are the same case from the point of view of the gun.  Same mags, extractor, etc.  Only the barrel is different. 

As well as the 10mm & 9x25 Dillon - as long as the gun in question is a 10mm platform.

To clarify, 40sw is a cut down 10mm case, but you can't use 10mm rounds in a 40sw magazine.

9x25 Dillon is so rare as not to even merit discussion.

But yes, if you were nutty enough to carry around a 10mm hog, you could pick up barrels for 9x25, 40, and 357sig and they'd all function.  I wonder how the 357 would load though given the huge distance there'd be in the magazine and the breech?

But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Had my eye on the Colt 1911, and the HK USP.

I've shot the 1911 and I like it, but I'd have to get an extended slide stop as it's a bit awkward with the stock piece.

If I remember correctly, I've shot a Glock long ago, and didn't like it much...but I don't ever recall shooting a USP.

Any pros/cons or opinions regarding the 1911 vs the USP?

Your question fits in this thread just fine.

Two gun threads is plenty for a moto forum.

I didn't like the Glock when I tried it.  I was impressed with the Sig P229, and have been itching to give an H&K a try too.  1911s are almost too big for my hands.

What's wrong with a stock 1911 slide release? Millions of owners want to know? ;D And there are aftermarket extended ones if needed.

I can't reach the slide release without altering my grip.  It's just not ideal for all people if you know what I mean.  Almost makes it a 2 hang operation.

If I went 1911, the extended piece would be a must.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

If you are right handed and can switch your gun to a left handed slide drop try it.  I am right handed and have all my guns with a left handed drop that way I can us my right middle finger for a drop and not shift my grip "at all".  Probably will not work with all size hands but give it a try if your gun is made to switch.  My 911's took a bit of work but Brownells sells a supposedly drop in kit.

Yeah, just not getting the 1911 slide release problem. Although I certainly believe there is one for DarkStar. But I've got small/medium size hands at best and I'm right handed and I just don't have a problem at all hitting the slide release with my right thumb. And no, I don't shift my grip. Of course you could also try inserting a fresh magazine and with your left hand just pull back and release the slide and let it go into battery. I often use this technique on my Glocks. They even have a smaller release (except the 34/35s) than the 1911. But then again, if an extended release would work better for you then so be it! [thumbsup] No biggie. 1911s are great pistols, there is no end of goodies out there to make it exactly what you want. Well worth the effort in the end.
