convert mac 10 9mm from single stack to double stack.

I’m done at 30-40 with a G43 and my hands ache afterwards.

I'm not quite at that level-I’m usually good for a hundred rounds in a G19 before accuracy starts to drop and another hundred before the wheels really come off, but my hands aren’t sore when I’m done. Most of these guys can shoot 2-300 rounds in a double-stack 9mm pistol before times and scores start dropping, and they're reporting performance degradation much sooner with the smaller guns. They report that these guns are as accurate in slow fire as larger Glocks, but that the sharper recoil affects their times and scores when working at speed. They're starting to work seriously with the Glock 48 and 43x. I post on another site for hardcore pistol shooters-cops and soldiers who shoot tens of thousands of rounds a year and who measure performance using timers and scorable targets on a standard set of recognized drills.

Not so much if we're talking about more realistic defensive drills. Their smaller design and reduced profile may produce a snappier gun and increase felt recoil to your palm, but I'd wager most people that struggle with that have a hard time with double stacked guns to begin with. In the 1911 platform I cant see a reason to choose the 9 over the 45 I'm a 45 ACP fan and usually carry a 45 S&W Shield if I'm going to end up with the same magazine capacity or within a round I don't see the reason to choose the 9. I can see the value of the sub compact single stack 9's for concealed carry more controllable for some that may find the 40 or 45 a bit much in a small pistol. Even a Glock 43 mag is easier than a Sig 365 spare magazine which is only a 1 1/2-stack. Spare-carry-wise a 1911, 9mm magazine is a piece of cake compared to a Glock 19 mag. Rightly or wrongly I've deduced that a single stack with a spare magazine is better than a double stack without a spare-at least for me. However, over the years I've had MANY magazine failures so I'm equally comfortable with the 'probability' that a speed reload due to a magazine failure is a possibility. I'm comfortable with the 'probability' that a speed reload in a civilian encounter due to the expenditure of ammo is statistically irrelevant. I have searched and searched and can find no documented case of any civilian shooting that included a needed reload (well, there was one, but the perpetrator was a mountain lion - not a human). As a concealed carrier with no legislated 'sheepdog' responsibilities, any legitimate use of my firearm would be in a civilian-selfdefense scenario only. 45ACP junkie growing up, the 9mm was a hard pill for me to swallow as a carry cartridge (DocRocket from the Campfire changed my mind on that one) and I clung to the perk of higher capacity. Leomort-I understand your thinking but have come to drift away from that conclusion-as a born-again. Not sure if my logic or reasoning makes sense, but if I'm having magazine restriction, why not move up to larger cartridge as it already has limited capacity due to size. I'm also considering that if mag restriction start to become more common, I may just back to my 1911 45acp.

Not to mention that single stack 9mm appear to become a fade now, It was very snappy and my fiancé did not care for shooting it.Ībout the only reason I can see for the single stack 9mm is carry conceal and I'm not sure how much of benefit you get from that as oppose to something like a Glock19 or M&Pc in 9mm. Have a single stack 9mm defeats the high(er) capacity of the 9mm and drastically increase the recoil. For me, the reasons for 9mm is high(er) capacity and softer recoiling with big side benefit of cheap practice ammo. In my honest opinion these small single stack defeat most of the reason for the 9mm. I'm not sure how other's feel about them but I had some interesting thoughts/conclusion after shooting them. We tried the S&W shield, Walther PPS, and friends subcompact 9mm that was about same size. Up until then she only had shoot doubt stack 9mm. She tried a few different single stack 9mm's. This past weekend, my fiancé and I went out to an indoor shooting range.
