They took their name (adding an 'm') from the location of a German tragedy where 80 people were hurt and killed as the result of a crash during an American Air Force flight show. (The literal translation of 'ram stein' is a battering ram made of stone.) Word of Rammstein's horror/romanticist blend of theater and music -- one-time Olympic swimmer Till Lindemann would sing entire songs engulfed in flame from head to toe -- spread quickly. The band's first album, Herzeleid (Heartache), built on the grounds created by the band's live reputation. Scaling the German charts (and remaining there until the release of the second Rammstein LP some two years later), the album also introduced the band to the world outside of the Germany/Switzerland/Austria region. As Rammstein's second album, Sehnsucht (Longing), was released, the band was headlining throughout Europe to crowds of 10,000 to 30,000 people. Sehnsucht entered the German charts at number one immediately upon its release and came very close to doing the same in Austria and Switzerland. Within weeks, entries on other countries' charts had Sehnsucht rubbing elbows with the Prodigy, Radiohead, and the Rolling Stones on Billboard's cumulative Eurochart. From there the fever spread, transcending any perceived language barrier. Mutter followed in 2001, Reise, Reise in 2004, and the live collection Volkerball in 2006. Liebe Ist fur Alle Da followed in 2009. A limited edition of the album was packed in a metal suitcase that also housed six sex toys, one for each member of the band. ~ Ed Nimmervoll, Rovi. A gasoline station in, Gasoline or gas for short (), or petrol (), is a transparent, -derived liquid that is used primarily as a in. It consists mostly of obtained by the of petroleum, enhanced with a variety of additives. On average, a (159 L) yields about 19 US gallons (72 L) of gasoline when processed in an, though this varies based on the crude oil source's. The characteristic of a particular gasoline blend to resist igniting too early (which causes and reduces efficiency in reciprocating engines) is measured by its. Gasoline is produced in several grades of octane rating. And other lead compounds are no longer used in most areas to regulate and increase octane-rating, but many other additives are put into gasoline to improve its chemical stability, control corrosiveness and provide fuel system 'cleaning,' and determine performance characteristics under intended use. Sometimes, gasoline also contains as an, for economic, political or environmental reasons. Gasoline, as used worldwide in the vast number of internal combustion engines used in transport and industry, has a significant impact on the environment, both in local effects (e.g., ) and in global effects (e.g., ). Gasoline may also enter the environment uncombusted, as liquid and as vapors, from leakage and handling during production, transport and delivery, from storage tanks, from spills, etc. As an example of efforts to control such leakage, many (underground) storage tanks are required to have extensive measures in place to detect and prevent such leaks. [ ] Gasoline contains and other known. Contents • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • History [ ] The first automotive combustion engines, so-called, were developed in the last quarter of the 19th century in Germany. The fuel was a relatively volatile hydrocarbon obtained from. With a boiling point near 85 °C (octanes boil about 40 °C higher), it was well suited for early carburetors (evaporators). The development of a 'spray nozzle' carburetor enabled the use of less volatile fuels. Further improvements in engine efficiency were attempted at higher, but early attempts were blocked by knocking (premature explosion of fuel). In the 1920s, antiknock compounds were introduced by and Boyd, specifically (TEL). This innovation started a cycle of improvements in fuel efficiency that coincided with the large-scale development of oil refining to provide more products in the boiling range of gasoline. In the 1950s oil refineries started to focus on high octane fuels, and then detergents were added to gasoline to clean the jets in carburetors. The 1970s witnessed greater attention to the environmental consequences of burning gasoline. These considerations led to the phasing out of TEL and its replacement by other antiknock compounds. Subsequently, low-sulfur gasoline was introduced, in part to preserve the catalysts in modern exhaust systems. Etymology and terminology [ ] 'Gasoline' is the term that is used in North America to refer to the most popular automobile fuel. The Oxford English Dictionary dates the first use to 1863, when it was spelled 'gasolene', and gives a derivation from the word 'gas' and the chemical suffixes '-ol' and '-ine' or '-ene'. However, the term may also have been influenced by the trademark 'Cazeline' or 'Gazeline'. On 27 November 1862, publisher, coffee merchant, and social campaigner placed an advertisement in: The Patent Cazeline Oil, safe, economical, and brilliant possesses all the requisites which have so long been desired as a means of powerful artificial light. This is the earliest occurrence of the word to have been found. Cassell discovered that a shopkeeper in Dublin named Samuel Boyd was selling counterfeit cazeline and wrote to him to ask him to stop. Boyd did not reply and changed every ‘C’ into a ‘G’, thus coining the word 'gazeline'. 'Petrol' is the preferred term in most Commonwealth countries. 'Petrol' was first used as the name of a refined petroleum product around 1870 by British wholesaler, who marketed it as a solvent. When the product later found a new use as a motor fuel,, an associate of, suggested to Carless that they register the trade mark 'petrol', but by this time the word was already in general use, possibly inspired by the French pétrole, and the registration was not allowed. Carless registered a number of alternative names for the product, but 'petrol' became the common term for the fuel in the British Commonwealth. British refiners originally used 'motor spirit' as a generic name for the automotive fuel and 'aviation spirit' for. When Carless was denied a trademark on 'petrol' in the 1930s, its competitors switched to the more popular name 'petrol'. However, 'motor spirit' had already made its way into laws and regulations, so the term remains in use as a formal name for petrol. The term is used most widely in Nigeria, where the largest petroleum companies call their product 'premium motor spirit'. Although 'petrol' has made inroads into Nigerian English, 'premium motor spirit' remains the formal name that is used in scientific publications, government reports, and newspapers. The use of the word gasoline instead of petrol outside North America can often be confusing. Shortening gasoline to gas, which happens often, causes confusion with various forms of gas used as car fuel (, and ). In many countries, gasoline has a colloquial name derived from that of the chemical ( e.g., German Benzin, Czech benzín, Dutch benzine, Italian benzina, Russian бензин benzin, Polish benzyna, Chilean Spanish bencina, Thai เบนซิน bensin, Greek βενζίνη venzini, Romanian benzină, Swedish bensin, Arabic بنزين binzīn, Catalan benzina). Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay use the colloquial name nafta derived from that of the chemical. Octane rating [ ]. Main article: Spark ignition engines are designed to burn gasoline in a controlled process called. However, the unburned mixture may autoignite by detonating from pressure and heat alone, rather than ignite from the spark plug at exactly the right time. This causes a rapid pressure rise which can damage the engine. This is often referred to as or end-gas knock. Knocking can be reduced by increasing the gasoline's resistance to, which is expressed by its octane rating. Octane rating is measured relative to a mixture of (an of ) and n. There are different conventions for expressing octane ratings, so the same physical fuel may have several different octane ratings based on the measure used. One of the best known is the research octane number (RON). The octane rating of typical commercially available gasoline varies by country. In,, and, 95 RON is the standard for regular unleaded gasoline and 98 RON is also available as a more expensive option. In the UK, ordinary regular unleaded gasoline is 95 RON (commonly available), premium unleaded gasoline is always 97 RON, and super unleaded is usually 97–98 RON. [ ] However, both Shell and BP produce fuel at 102 RON for cars with high-performance engines and in 2006 the supermarket chain began to sell super unleaded gasoline rated at 99 RON. In the US, octane ratings in unleaded fuels can vary between 85 and 87 AKI (91–92 RON) for regular, through 89–90 AKI (94–95 RON) for mid-grade (equivalent to European regular), up to 90–94 AKI (95–99 RON) for premium (European premium). South Africa's largest city,, is located on the at 1,753 metres (5,751 ft) above sea level. So the recommends 95 octane gasoline (petrol) at low altitude and 93 octane for use in Johannesburg because 'The higher the altitude the lower the air pressure, and the lower the need for a high octane fuel as there is no real performance gain'. The octane rating became important as the military sought higher output for in the late 1930s and the 1940s. A higher octane rating allows a higher or boost, and thus higher temperatures and pressures, which translate to higher power output. Some scientists even predicted that a nation with a good supply of high octane gasoline would have the advantage in air power. In 1943, the aero engine produced 1,320 horsepower (984 kW) using 100 RON fuel from a modest 27 liter displacement. By the time of during both the RAF and USAAF were conducting some operations in Europe using 150 RON fuel (100/150 ), obtained by adding 2.5% to 100 octane avgas. By this time the Rolls-Royce Merlin 66 was developing 2,000 hp using this fuel. Stability [ ] Quality gasoline should be stable for six months if stored properly but gasoline will break down slowly over time due to the separation of the components. Gasoline stored for a year will most likely be able to be burned in an internal combustion engine without too much trouble but the effects of long term storage will become more noticeable with each passing month until a time comes when the gasoline should be diluted with ever-increasing amounts of freshly made fuel so that the older gasoline may be used up. If left undiluted, improper operation will occur and this may include engine damage from misfiring and/or the lack of proper action of the fuel within a system and from an onboard computer attempting to compensate (if applicable to the vehicle). Storage should be in an airtight container (to prevent oxidation or water vapors mixing in with the gas) that can withstand the of the gasoline without venting (to prevent the loss of the more volatile fractions) at a stable cool temperature (to reduce the excess pressure from liquid expansion, and to reduce the rate of any decomposition reactions). When gasoline is not stored correctly, gums and solids may be created, which can corrode system components and accumulate on wetted surfaces, resulting in a condition called 'stale fuel'. Gasoline containing ethanol is especially subject to absorbing atmospheric moisture, then forming gums, solids, or two phases (a hydrocarbon phase floating on top of a water-alcohol phase). The presence of these degradation products in the fuel tank, fuel lines plus a carburetor or fuel injection components makes it harder to start the engine or causes reduced engine performance. On resumption of regular engine use, the buildup may or may not be eventually cleaned out by the flow of fresh gasoline. The addition of a fuel stabilizer to gasoline can extend the life of fuel that is not or cannot be stored properly though removal of all fuel from a fuel system is the only real solution to the problem of long term storage of an engine or a machine or vehicle. Some typical fuel stabilizers are proprietary mixtures containing,, 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene, or other additives. Fuel stabilizer is commonly used for small engines, such as lawnmower and tractor engines, especially when their use is seasonal (low to no use for one or more seasons of the year). Users have been advised to keep gasoline containers more than half full and properly capped to reduce air exposure, to avoid storage at high temperatures, to run an engine for ten minutes to circulate the stabilizer through all components prior to storage, and to run the engine at intervals to purge stale fuel from the. Gasoline stability requirements are set in standard ASTM D4814-14b. The standard describes the various characteristics and requirements of automotive fuels for use over a wide range of operating conditions in ground vehicles equipped with spark-ignition engines. Energy content [ ] A gasoline-fueled internal combustion engine obtains energy from combustion of gasoline's various hydrocarbon species with oxygen from the ambient air, yielding and exhaust. The combustion of octane, a representative species, performs the chemical reaction 2 C 8H 18 + 25 O 2 → 16 CO 2 + 18 H 2O. Gasoline contains about 46.7 /kg (127 MJ/US gal, 35.3 kWh/US gal, 13.0 kWh/kg, 120,405 BTU/US gal), quoting the lower heating value. Gasoline blends differ, and therefore actual energy content varies according to the season and producer by up to 1.75% more or less than the average. On average, about 74 L of gasoline (19.5 US gal, 16.3 imp gal) are available from a barrel of crude oil (about 46% by volume), varying due to quality of crude and grade of gasoline. The remainder are products ranging from tar to. A high-octane-rated fuel, such as (LPG) has an overall lower power output at the typical 10:1 of an engine design optimized for gasoline fuel. An engine for fuel via higher compression ratios (typically 12:1) improves the power output. This is because higher-octane fuels allow for a higher compression ratio without knocking, resulting in a higher cylinder temperature, which improves efficiency. Also, increased mechanical efficiency is created by a higher compression ratio through the concomitant higher expansion ratio on the power stroke, which is by far the greater effect. The higher expansion ratio extracts more work from the high-pressure gas created by the combustion process. An engine uses the timing of the valve events to produce the benefits of a high expansion ratio without the disadvantages, chiefly detonation, of a high compression ratio. A high expansion ratio is also one of the two key reasons for the efficiency of, along with the elimination of pumping losses due to throttling of the intake air flow. The lower energy content of LPG by liquid volume in comparison to gasoline is due mainly to its lower. This lower density is a property of the lower of (LPG's chief component) compared to gasoline's blend of various hydrocarbon compounds with heavier molecular weights than propane. Conversely, LPG energy content by weight is higher than gasoline due to a higher to ratio. Molecular weights of the representative octane combustion are C 8H 18 114, O 2 32, CO 2 44, H 2O 18; therefore 1 kg of fuel reacts with 3.51 kg of oxygen to produce 3.09 kg of carbon dioxide and 1.42 kg of water. Density [ ] The density of gasoline ranges from 0.71–0.77 kg/L ( 719.7 /; 0.026 /; 6.073 lb/; 7.29 lb/), higher densities having a greater volume of aromatics. Since gasoline floats on water, water cannot generally be used to extinguish a gasoline fire unless used in a fine mist. Finished marketable gasoline is traded with a standard reference of 0.755 kg/L, and its price is escalated/de-escalated according to its actual density. Chemical analysis and production [ ]. An oil rig in the Gasoline is produced in. Roughly 19 US gallons (72 L) of gasoline is derived from a 42-gallon (159 L) barrel of crude oil. Material separated from via, called virgin or straight-run gasoline, does not meet specifications for modern engines (particularly the octane rating, see below), but can be pooled to the gasoline blend. The bulk of a typical gasoline consists of with between 4 and 12 atoms per molecule (commonly referred to as C4-C12). It is a mixture of paraffins (), (naphthenes), and olefins (), where the usage of the terms paraffin and olefin is particular to the oil industry. The actual ratio depends on: • the oil refinery that makes the gasoline, as not all refineries have the same set of processing units; • the feed used by the refinery; • the grade of gasoline, in particular, the octane rating. The various refinery streams blended to make gasoline have different characteristics. Some important streams are: • straight-run gasoline, usually also called naphtha is distilled directly from crude oil. Once the leading source of fuel, its low octane rating required lead additives. It is low in aromatics (depending on the grade of crude oil), containing some cycloalkanes (naphthenes) and no olefins (alkenes). Between 0 and 20% of this stream is pooled into the finished gasoline, because the supply of this fraction is insufficient [ ] and its is too low. [ ] The chemical properties (namely octane and ) of the straight-run gasoline can be improved through and. However, before feeding those units, the naphtha needs to be split in light and heavy naphtha. Straight-run gasoline can be also used as a feedstock into steam-crackers to produce olefins. • reformate, produced in a has a high octane rating with high content, and relatively low olefins (alkenes). Most of the,, and (the so-called ) are more valuable as chemical feedstocks and are thus removed to some extent. • catalytic cracked gasoline or catalytic cracked, produced from a, with a moderate octane rating, high olefins (alkene) content, and moderate aromatics level. • hydrocrackate (heavy, mid, and light) produced from a, with medium to low octane rating and moderate aromatic levels. • alkylate is produced in an unit, using as feedstocks isobutane and. Alkylate contains no aromatics and alkenes and has high MON. • isomerate is obtained by isomerizing low octane straight run gasoline to iso-paraffins (non-chain alkanes, like isooctane). Isomerate has medium RON and MON, but nil aromatics and olefins. • butane is usually blended in the gasoline pool, although the quantity of this stream is limited by the RVP specification. The terms above are the jargon used in the oil industry and terminology varies. Currently, many countries set limits on gasoline in general, benzene in particular, and olefin (alkene) content. Such regulations led to increasing preference for high octane pure paraffin (alkane) components, such as alkylate, and is forcing refineries to add processing units to reduce benzene content. In the EU the benzene limit is set at 1% volume for all grade of automotive gasoline. Gasoline can also contain other, such as (deliberately added), plus small levels of contaminants, in particular compounds, but these are usually removed at the refinery. Additives [ ]. A plastic container for storing gasoline used in Germany Almost all countries in the world have phased out automotive leaded fuel. In 2011 six countries were still using leaded gasoline:,,,, and. It was expected that by the end of 2013 those countries would ban leaded gasoline, but it has not occurred. Algeria will replace leaded with unleaded automotive fuel only in 2015. [ ] Different additives have replaced the lead compounds. The most popular additives include, and (usually or ). For technical reasons the use of leaded additives is still permitted worldwide for the formulation of some grades of such as, because the required octane rating would be technically infeasible to reach without the use of leaded additives. Main article: Gasoline, when used in high- internal combustion engines, tends to autoignite ( detonate) causing damaging ' (also called 'pinging' or 'pinking'). To address this problem, (TEL) was widely adopted as an additive for gasoline in the 1920s. With the discovery of the extent of environmental and health damage caused by the lead, however, and the incompatibility of lead with, leaded gasoline was phased out in the USA beginning in 1973. By 1995, leaded fuel accounted for only 0.6% of total gasoline sales and under 2000 (1814 t) of lead per year in the USA. From 1 January 1996, the banned the sale of leaded fuel for use in on-road vehicles in the USA. The use of TEL also necessitated other additives, such as dibromoethane. First European countries started replacing lead by the end of the 1980s and by the end of the 1990s leaded gasoline was banned within the entire European Union. Reduction in the average blood lead level is believed to have been a major cause for falling violent crime rates in the United States and South Africa. A statistically significant correlation has been found between the usage rate of leaded gasoline and violent crime: taking into account a 22-year time lag, the violent crime curve virtually tracks the lead exposure curve. Lead replacement petrol [ ] Lead replacement petrol (LRP) was developed for vehicles designed to run on leaded fuel and incompatible with unleaded. Rather than tetraethyl lead it contains other metals such as potassium compounds or (MMT); these are purported to buffer soft exhaust valves and seats so that they do not suffer recession due to the use of unleaded fuel. LRP was marketed during and after the phaseout of leaded motor fuels in the,, and some other countries. [ ] Consumer confusion led to widespread mistaken preference for LRP rather than unleaded, and LRP was phased out 8 to 10 years after the introduction of unleaded. Leaded petrol was withdrawn from sale in Britain after 31 December 1999, seven years after regulations signalled the end of production for cars using leaded petrol in member states. At this stage, a large percentage of cars from the 1980s and early 1990s which ran on leaded petrol were still in use, along with cars which could run on unleaded fuel. However, the declining number of such cars on British roads saw many petrol stations withdrawing LRP from sale by 2003. MMT [ ] (MMT) is used in Canada and in Australia to boost octane. It also helps old cars designed for leaded fuel run on unleaded fuel without need for additives to prevent valve problems. [ ] Its use in the US has been restricted by regulations. Its use in the EU is restricted by Article 8a of the Fuel Quality Directive following its testing under the Protocol for the evaluation of effects of metallic fuel-additives on the emissions performance of vehicles. Fuel stabilizers (antioxidants and metal deactivators) [ ]. Substituted and derivatives of are common antioxidants used to inhibit gum formation in gasoline (gasoline). Gummy, sticky resin deposits result from degradation of gasoline upon long term storage. These harmful deposits arise from the oxidation of and other minor components in gasoline (see ). Improvements in refinery techniques have generally reduced the susceptibility of gasolines to these problems. Previously, catalytically or thermally cracked gasolines are most susceptible to oxidation. The formation of these gums is accelerated by copper salts, which can be neutralized by additives called. This degradation can be prevented through the addition of 5–100 ppm of, such as and other. Hydrocarbons with a of 10 or above can be protected with the combination of unhindered or partially hindered phenols and oil-soluble strong amine bases, such as hindered phenols. 'Stale' gasoline can be detected by a test for produced by oxidation of the gasoline. Gasolines are also treated with, which are compounds that sequester (deactivate) metal salts that otherwise accelerate the formation of gummy residues. The metal impurities might arise from the engine itself or as contaminants in the fuel. Detergents [ ] Gasoline, as delivered at the pump, also contains additives to reduce internal engine carbon buildups, improve, and to allow easier starting in cold climates. High levels of detergent can be found in. The specification for Top Tier Detergent gasolines was developed by four automakers: GM, Honda, Toyota and BMW. According to the bulletin, the minimal EPA requirement is not sufficient to keep engines clean. Typical detergents include alkylamines and alkyl phosphates at the level of 50–100 ppm. See also: and European Union [ ] In the EU, 5% ethanol can be added within the common gasoline spec (EN 228). Discussions are ongoing to allow 10% blending of ethanol (available in Finnish, French and German gas stations). In Finland most gasoline stations sell 95E10, which is 10% of ethanol; and 98E5, which is 5% ethanol. Most gasoline sold in Sweden has 5–15% ethanol added. Brazil [ ] In Brazil, the (ANP) requires gasoline for automobile use to have 27.5% of ethanol added to its composition. Pure hydrated ethanol is also available as a fuel. Australia [ ] Legislation requires retailers to label fuels containing ethanol on the dispenser, and limits ethanol use to 10% of gasoline in Australia. Such gasoline is commonly called by major brands, and it is cheaper than regular unleaded gasoline. United States [ ] The federal (RFS) effectively requires refiners and blenders to blend renewable biofuels (mostly ethanol) with gasoline, sufficient to meet a growing annual target of total gallons blended. Although the mandate does not require a specific percentage of ethanol, annual increases in the target combined with declining has caused the typical ethanol content in gasoline to approach 10%. Most fuel pumps display a sticker that states that the fuel may contain up to 10% ethanol, an intentional disparity that reflects the varying actual percentage. Until late 2010, fuels retailers were only authorized to sell fuel containing up to 10 percent ethanol (E10), and most vehicle warranties (except for flexible fuel vehicles) authorize fuels that contain no more than 10 percent ethanol. [ ] In parts of the United States, is sometimes added to gasoline without an indication that it is a component. India [ ] The in October 2007 decided to make 5% ethanol blending (with petrol) mandatory. Currently, 10% Ethanol blended product (E10) is being sold in various parts of the country. Ethanol has been found in at least one study to damage catalytic converters. Main article: In Australia, the lowest grade of gasoline (RON 91) is dyed a light shade of red/orange and the medium grade (RON 95) is dyed yellow. In the United States, aviation gasoline () is dyed to identify its octane rating and to distinguish it from kerosene-based jet fuel, which is clear. In Canada the gasoline for marine and farm use is dyed red and is not subject to sales tax. Oxygenate blending [ ] blending adds -bearing compounds such as,,, and biobutanol. The presence of these oxygenates reduces the amount of and unburned fuel in the exhaust gas. In many areas throughout the US, oxygenate blending is mandated by EPA regulations to reduce smog and other airborne pollutants. For example, in Southern California, fuel must contain 2% oxygen by weight, resulting in a mixture of 5.6% ethanol in gasoline. The resulting fuel is often known as reformulated gasoline (RFG) or oxygenated gasoline, or in the case of California,. The federal requirement that RFG contain oxygen was dropped on 6 May 2006 because the industry had developed -controlled RFG that did not need additional oxygen. MTBE was phased out in the US due to ground water contamination and the resulting regulations and lawsuits. Ethanol and, to a lesser extent, the ethanol-derived ETBE are common replacements. A common ethanol-gasoline mix of 10% ethanol mixed with gasoline is called or E10, and an ethanol-gasoline mix of 85% ethanol mixed with gasoline is called. The most extensive use of ethanol takes place in, where the ethanol is derived from. In 2004, over 3.4 billion US gallons (2.8 billion imp gal/13 million m³) of ethanol was produced in the United States for fuel use, mostly from, and E85 is slowly becoming available in much of the United States, though many of the relatively few stations vending E85 are not open to the general public. The use of, either directly or indirectly by conversion of such ethanol to bio-ETBE, is encouraged by the European Union. Since producing bioethanol from fermented sugars and starches involves, though, ordinary people in much of Europe cannot legally ferment and distill their own bioethanol at present (unlike in the US, where getting a distillation permit has been easy since the 1973 oil crisis). HAZMAT class 3 gasoline Environmental considerations [ ] Combustion of 1 U.S. Gallon (3.8 L) of gasoline produces 8.74 kilograms (19.3 lb) of carbon dioxide (2.3 kg/l), a. The main concern with gasoline on the environment, aside from the complications of its extraction and refining, is the potential through the production of carbon dioxide. Unburnt gasoline and, when in the, reacts in to produce. Vapor pressure initially rises with some addition of ethanol to gasoline, but the increase is greatest at 10% by volume. [ ] At higher concentrations of ethanol above 10%, the vapor pressure of the blend starts to decrease. At a 10% ethanol by volume, the rise in vapor pressure may potentially increase the problem of photochemical smog. This rise in vapor pressure could be mitigated by increasing or decreasing the percentage of ethanol in the gasoline mixture. The chief risks of such leaks come not from vehicles, but from gasoline delivery truck accidents and leaks from storage tanks. Because of this risk, most (underground) storage tanks now have extensive measures in place to detect and prevent any such leaks, such as monitoring systems (Veeder-Root, Franklin Fueling). Production of gasoline consumes 0.63 gallon of per mile driven. Toxicity [ ] The for unleaded gasoline shows at least 15 hazardous chemicals occurring in various amounts, including (up to 5% by volume), (up to 35% by volume), (up to 1% by volume), (up to 7% by volume), (MTBE) (up to 18% by volume, in some states) and about ten others. Hydrocarbons in gasoline generally exhibit low acute toxicities, with of 700–2700 mg/kg for simple aromatic compounds. Benzene and many antiknocking additives are. People can be exposed to gasoline in the workplace by swallowing it, breathing in vapors, skin contact, and eye contact. The (NIOSH) has designated gasoline as a carcinogen. Inhalation for intoxication [ ] gasoline vapor is a common intoxicant. Users concentrate and inhale gasoline vapour in a manner not intended by the manufacturer to produce and. Gasoline inhalation has become epidemic in some poorer communities and indigenous groups in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and some Pacific Islands. The practice is thought to cause severe organ damage, including mental retardation. In Canada, Native children in the isolated Northern Labrador community of were the focus of national concern in 1993, when many were found to be sniffing gasoline. The Canadian and provincial governments intervened on a number of occasions, sending many children away for treatment. Despite being moved to the new community of in 2002, serious inhalant abuse problems have continued. Similar problems were reported in in 2000 and also in. In 2012, the issue once again made the news media in Canada. See also: Australia has long faced a petrol (gasoline) sniffing problem in isolated and impoverished communities. Although some sources argue that sniffing was introduced by stationed in the nation's during or through experimentation by 1940s-era sawmill workers, other sources claim that inhalant abuse (such as glue inhalation) emerged in Australia in the late 1960s. [ ] Chronic, heavy petrol sniffing appears to occur among remote, impoverished communities, where the ready accessibility of petrol has helped to make it a common substance for abuse. In Australia, petrol sniffing now occurs widely throughout remote Aboriginal communities in the,, northern parts of and. The number of people sniffing petrol goes up and down over time as young people experiment or sniff occasionally. 'Boss', or chronic, sniffers may move in and out of communities; they are often responsible for encouraging young people to take it up. In 2005, the and began the usage of in remote areas prone to petrol sniffing. Opal is a non-sniffable fuel (which is much less likely to cause a high) and has made a difference in some indigenous communities. Flammability [ ]. Uncontrolled burning of gasoline produces large quantities of and. Like other hydrocarbons, gasoline burns in a limited range of its vapor phase and, coupled with its volatility, this makes leaks highly dangerous when sources of ignition are present. Gasoline has a of 1.4% by volume and an of 7.6%. If the concentration is below 1.4%, the air-gasoline mixture is too lean and does not ignite. If the concentration is above 7.6%, the mixture is too rich and also does not ignite. However, gasoline vapor rapidly mixes and spreads with air, making unconstrained gasoline quickly flammable. Use and pricing [ ]. Main articles: and The United States accounts for about 44% of the world’s gasoline consumption. In 2003, the United States consumed 476 (126; 105 billion ), which equates to 1.3 gigaliters (340 million U.S. Gallons; 290 million imperial gallons) of gasoline each day. The United States used about 510 gigaliters (130 billion U.S. Gallons; 110 billion imperial gallons) of gasoline in 2006, of which 5.6% was mid-grade and 9.5% was premium grade. Europe [ ] Unlike the US, countries in Europe impose substantial on fuels such as gasoline. The price of gasoline in Europe is typically about three times that in the US. United States [ ]. This section needs to be updated. Please update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information. (April 2016) From 1998 to 2004, the price of gasoline fluctuated between 1 and US$2 per. After 2004, the price increased until the average gas price reached a high of $4.11 per U.S. Gallon in mid-2008, but receded to approximately $2.60 per U.S. Gallon by September 2009. More recently, the U.S. Experienced an upswing in gasoline prices through 2011, and by 1 March 2012, the national average was $3.74 per gallon. In the United States, most consumer goods bear pre-tax prices, but gasoline prices are posted with taxes included. Taxes are added by federal, state, and local governments. As of 2009, the federal tax is 18.4¢ per gallon for gasoline and 24.4¢ per gallon for diesel (excluding ). Among states, the highest gasoline tax rates, including the federal taxes as of 2005, are New York (62.9¢/gal), Hawaii (60.1¢/gal), and California (60¢/gal). About 9% of all gasoline sold in the US in May 2009 was premium grade, according to the Energy Information Administration. Magazine says, 'If [your owner’s manual] says to use regular fuel, do so—there's no advantage to a higher grade.' The Associated Press said premium gas—which is a higher octane and costs more per gallon than regular unleaded—should be used only if the manufacturer says it is 'required'. Cars with turbocharged engines and high compression ratios often specify premium gas because higher octane fuels reduce the incidence of 'knock', or fuel pre-detonation. The price of gas varies during the summer and winter months. CO2 production [ ] About 19.64 pounds (8.91 kg) of carbon dioxide (CO2) are produced from burning a (US) gallon (3.78l) of gasoline that does not contain ethanol (2.36 kg/l). About 22.38 pounds (10.15 kg) of CO2 are produced from burning a (US) gallon (3.78l) of diesel fuel (2.69 kg/l). The US EIA estimates that U.S. Motor gasoline and diesel (distillate) fuel consumption for transportation in 2015 resulted in the emission of about 1,105 million metric tons of CO2 and 440 million metric tons of CO2, respectively, for a total of 1,545 million metric tons of CO2. This total was equivalent to 83% of total U.S. Transportation sector CO2 emissions and equivalent to 29% of total U.S. Energy-related CO2 emissions in 2015. Most of the retail gasoline now sold in the United States contains about 10% fuel ethanol (or E10) by volume. Burning a gallon of E10 produces about 17.68 pounds of CO2 that is emitted from the fossil fuel content. If the CO2 emissions from ethanol combustion are considered, then about 18.95 pounds of CO2 are produced when a gallon of E10 is combusted. About 12.73 pounds of CO2 are produced when a gallon of pure ethanol is combusted. Biodiesel fuel is sold with various amounts of biodiesel content. B20 is a commonly sold biodiesel fuel. B20 contains 20% biodiesel and 80% petroleum diesel fuel. Burning a gallon of B20 results in the emission of about 17.90 pounds of CO2 that is emitted from the fossil fuel content. If the emissions from burning the biodiesel in B20 are included, then about 22.06 pounds of CO2 are produced. About 20.77 pounds of CO2 are produced from burning a gallon of B100 (100% biodiesel).

I gave this a 5 because the scenery is beautiful, and the actors all had chemistry. I couldn't fault the movie on those aspects. I watched this movie on the Feeln app. This movie is NOT what I expected. My emotions ranged from feeling empathy for Erica to feeling a bit repulsed at the idea that she almost cheated on her husband while he was deployed, before his death. It did not have to include that aspect in my opinion. The story could have been lovely without that thrown in, in my opinion. It was really hard to move beyond that and enjoy the remainder of the movie. WORLD PREMIERE: Erica (Courtney Ford) left her Iowa hometown after she lost her soldier husband, but three years later she returns for her sister's wedding and has to face the love she left behind. Starring: Courtney Ford, Ryan Caltagirone, David Standbra. Executive Producer: Rob Fried. White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders conducts the daily press briefing at the White House on Monday in Washington, D.C. Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images In the wake of the horrific shooting in Las Vegas this week, the White House faced questions about whether President Trump would support stricter gun legislation. Press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders didn't give a definite response to these questions, but her statement showed a White House hesitant to create new regulations. 'I think one of the things we don't want to do is try to create laws that won't stop these types of things from happening,' Sanders said Monday. 'I think if you look to Chicago where you had over 4,000 victims of gun-related crimes last year they have the strictest gun laws in the country. That certainly hasn't helped there.' Pointing to Chicago to suggest that gun laws don't work is not a new talking point — Trump Chicago had 'the toughest gun laws in the United States' in a 2016 presidential debate; his fellow Republican candidate Chris Christie as a place with high crime despite tight gun laws. And the rhetoric goes beyond politicians. The site has many posted with containing phrase This can sound like a potent talking point — it is a huge city with a notorious crime problem, which Trump already used regularly to. It also packs the added rhetorical punch of being closely linked to President Obama, whose actions Trump has worked hard to undo. But while gun violence in Chicago is high, the rest of this common talking point doesn't really hold water. High crime and tough gun laws It's also true that there were in Chicago in 2016. It's also true that Chicago has suffered a massive amount of gun crime recently. In 2016, homicides in Chicago sharply rose, mostly as a result of gun homicides, as the University of Chicago crime lab. Gun homicides in the city rose by 61 percent between 2015 and 2016.

December 5, 2017 - Threatpost Developers Targeted In 'parsedroid' Poc Attack; November 30,. Stay one step ahead of threats with Check Point’s industry leading cyber security products for threat prevention, mobile security, data centers, next-generation. San Carlos, CA — Thu, 26 Oct 2017. Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP) a leading provider of cyber-security solutions globally, today announced that its security researchers have discovered HomeHack – a vulnerability that exposed millions of users of LG SmartThinQ® smart home devices to the. That helped make the gun homicide rate in Chicago particularly huge compared to other similar cities. The rate was 25.1 per 100,000 residents in 2016, compared to 14.7 in Philadelphia and just 2.3 in New York. It also had a relatively high number of guns recovered — 243 per 100,000 residents. That's roughly on par with Philadelphia and much higher than Los Angeles or New York. But it's not true that Chicago has the toughest gun laws in the country, as other have also repeatedly found. It is true that Illinois has tougher gun laws than many other states. The state is one of seven that requires licenses or permits to buy any firearm, and it's one of five that requires waiting periods for buying any firearm. The Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, which tracks gun laws nationwide, has given the state a B+ for its gun laws. Chicago itself has some tough laws — there is an assault-weapons ban in Cook County, for example. But it's not true that Chicago has the strictest gun laws in the country. At one point, it did have much tougher laws — it had banned handguns in the city limits, but a declared that ban unconstitutional, and a reaffirmed that. The city also had had a gun registry program since 1968, but ended it in 2013 when the state the concealed carry of weapons. 'We generally think of California as having the strongest gun laws in the country,' said Hannah Shearer, a staff attorney at the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence. 'The whole state's laws are pretty strong.' The center has given California an A rating and ranks it No. 1 in terms of the tightness of its gun laws. California bans the open carry of guns and requires background checks on private firearm sales, among other things. 'Some cities go even beyond that,' Shearer added. 'San Francisco has a, requiring that guns kept in the home are kept locked.' That's a regulation that Chicago, for example, does not have. Quibbling over exactly what part of the U.S. 1 in terms of gun-law strictness, however, isn't the most compelling part of Sanders' statement. She also said that having gun regulations 'certainly hasn't helped' in Chicago. That's a much more controversial claim — and it doesn't stand up to scrutiny. State lines don't stop guns It's important to remember here that Chicago is very close to two states that have relatively weak gun laws: Wisconsin and Indiana. So while it's easy to pick on Chicago (or any other high-crime city) for its ugly statistics, says one expert, taking bordering states into account weakens this gun-advocacy talking point. 'It's not a scientific study. It's an anecdote,' said Philip Cook, a professor of public policy studies at Duke University. 'They might have pointed to Washington, D.C., back in the days when D.C. Banned handguns and yet had high gun-violence rates. Those bans are only at best partially effective, because the borders are permeable.' Borders Virginia, which does not have strong gun laws. (It gets a D from the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence.) Neither Wisconsin nor Indiana requires licenses or permits to purchase a gun, for example, nor do they require waiting periods. While Illinois has that B+ rating from the law center, Wisconsin has a C- and Indiana a D. And there's good evidence that being next-door to those states keeps Chicago criminals well-supplied with guns. A of guns in Chicago, co-authored by Cook, found that more than 60 percent of new guns used in Chicago gang-related crimes and 31.6 percent used in non-gang-related crimes between 2009 and 2013 were bought in other states. Indiana was a particularly heavy supplier, providing nearly one-third of the gang guns and nearly one-fifth of the non-gang guns. Other evidence corroborates this — a found that Indiana accounted for 19 percent of all guns recovered by the department between 2009 and 2013. New firearms trace data from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives released last week likewise shows that Illinois as a whole faces a massive influx of guns. Of around 8,700 firearms recovered in Illinois and for which the bureau found a source state, more than half came from out of state — 1,366, nearly 16 percent, came from Indiana alone. By comparison, 82 percent of guns recovered in Indiana and traced were from within Indiana, suggesting that criminals in that state don't have to cross state lines, like those in Illinois, to get their weapons. All of this might suggest that criminals will just go to whatever lengths necessary get their hands on guns, regardless of whatever laws are in place. But that's the wrong way to think about it, Cook said. 'No one's in a position to say that Chicago's various special regulations and Illinois's regulations are doing no good,' he said, 'because we don't know what the homicide rate would be in the absence of those.

Close Methodology & Procedures Definitions Projects covered include state-owned and private projects in the Infrastructure, Electric Power, Oil & Gas (excluding upstream), Water and Waste, and Mining sectors. Where applicable, a project is considered as such until the end of construction and ramp-up to full capacity (with the exception of mining projects, where the date of commissioning signifies the end of the project). Projects must have a: a) Start date b) Estimate for completion c) Initial investment estimate Data For state-owned projects, initial information about the start date and estimates for completion and investment are taken from original signed contracts, along with addendums and annexes. If original contracts cannot be obtained, information is taken from public documents, presentations, news articles from BNamericas archives, and external sources. In cases where contracts are subject to approval by legislators, the start date is the date of the law or legislative approval. In the case of private projects, information is taken from public sources, such as stock exchange filings, annual reports, company presentations, third party research and press releases. In judging the timing of investment decisions for private projects, great care was taken to differentiate between large projects receiving environmental approval and proceeding directly to construction, and smaller projects where the investment decision hinges on securing financing. Best care is taken to ensure that recorded data is correct at the time of entry and that each entry is backed with a relevant source. The greatest care possible was taken to ensure consistency of information in order make a like-for-like comparison in project costs. Insofar as the figures rely on disclosure by the organization or company responsible, the figures can be considered to be conservative in nature. No attempt was made to adjust figures for inflation during the course of research or for consideration of the time value of money. Validation In the case of state-owned projects, validation is carried out where possible with either a member of the consortium, EPC contractor, a relevant state agency or advisors to either party. Currency Projects costs are measured in US dollars. Where project costs are measured in a local currency, amounts are converted to US dollars at the date of the relevant announcement, signature or report. Severity of deviation from original estimates The severity of deviation from original estimates is defined according to set criteria.

Is expanding its recently acquired crowdsourced shuttle service called Chariot into New York City. This is the fourth city the company is now operating in, with the goal of offering cheap shared rides in areas that do not have public transit within walking distance. The company also hopes to lure riders away from buses or subways they find too crowded for their liking. Ford acquired the San Francisco-based startup in 2016 for a $65 million, and it has since expanded from that city to Austin and Seattle. Ford's ownership has helped Chariot to more quickly expand. In return, Ford has access to a business that may help it participate in the rapid changes happening in transportation, such as the rise of the so-called ride sharing industry pioneered by companies such as Uber and Lyft. 'With Ford, we can scale operations really, really quickly,' Chariot CEO Ali Vahabzadeh told reporters at an event in Manhattan on Thursday. Ford has intimate knowledge of the vans it provides Chariot, so it offers the benefits of vertical integration, said Ford City Solutions group director Jessica Robinson, in an interview with CNBC. For instance, the company can support vehicle operations and maintenance. The service will cost $4 per ride, about $1.25 more than a single one-way ride on a New York City subway or bus. At first it will offer two routes, one that travels through a portion of Brooklyn and another that runs along the east side of Manhattan.They call both areas 'transit deserts' where public transit is often not available within a convenient walking distance. Chariot also hopes to scoop up some commuters frustrated with New York's often cramped public transit. The service debuts in New York at a time when subways The company plans to have 60 vehicles operating in the city by fall. Users sign up through an app, where they provide information on their commute, such as time and distance. The app will give them pickup and drop-off locations, along routes Chariot has designed, and times when the next shuttle will be headed toward their stop. But groups of people of at least 50 can collectively ask for a route to serve their area if they choose. Unlike Uber or Lyft, it is not quite door-to-door service, and it is not on demand in the strictest sense. Once a route is set up, users check the app to see when a Chariot shuttle will next be in the area and reserve a seat. The vans already offer WiFi, Vahabzadeh told reporters, and Chariot plans to consider offering other perks for riders. For example, he said, they may begin experimenting with seating arrangements, or offering locations for plugging in devices or stowing bags and coffee cups. Ford's business has historically sold vehicles to individual drivers, but ride sharing, and hype over emerging technologies such as autonomous cars, have fed concerns that consumers may yet lose their interest in owning their own vehicles, preferring instead to make use of the patchwork of public and privately owned transit services. Indeed, Lyft co-founder and president John Zimmer has car ownership will 'all but end' by 2025. Of course, that claim has its skeptics, but some automakers are preparing anyway. Ford recently, and abruptly, replaced CEO Mark Fields with Jim Hackett, who has run the company's 'Ford Mobility' segment, a subsidiary charged with exploring autonomy, ride-sharing, and other new concepts. That division was and still is charged with showing that Ford can keep up with rapid changes, and be a potentially formidable competition to new and potential rivals, such as, or even cash-rich tech firms such as. Despite overseeing several profitable quarters, Ford's stock has languished. Shares hovered around $11 Thursday afternoon. In contrast, Tesla shares were down about 4 percent Thursday afternoon, trading around $330, but have soared 50 percent since January alone. This disparity is despite the fact that Tesla is deeply in debt and delivers just a fraction of the vehicles Ford sells in a year.

Ford-owned shuttle company Chariot confirmed plans this morning to expand its service to Seattle, adding another company to the mix of transit providers. Acquiring firms like Chariot is particularly critical for Ford's future success, Robinson said. Data from around the world indicate that more and more people are moving into densely populated cities, where car ownership tends to be less common. 'The way we have done things in the past is not going work for the next chapter of our company's future,' she said.

MORE INFO In the early 1980s, Alice Coltrane Turiyasangitananda formed an ashram in Agora Hills, California. There a beautiful, multi-ethnic and multi generational religious community grew up around her. The highpoint of living in this very special and loving environment took shape on Sundays when Alice would lead the community in a musical ceremony, mixing both gospel and Indian chant, to create a music she wholly invented - it was something extraordinarily powerful. The Ashram is still there today. There are still some who live there and there is still a weekly Sunday service that is open for everyone. The folks who populated the Ashram world of Alice Coltrane Turiyasangitananda were a very special group of people. Many of the adult members were musicians before having moved there, and many of the younger followers have become musicians and film makers as they grew older. One these amazing artists is John Panduranga Henderson. Panduranga played organ, piano and sang with Ray Charles in the 1970's where he was a star performer in Ray's band. When he joined the Ashram, he became in essence a star performer there as well, though of course there were no 'stars'. Alice sitting at the organ would say, 'Panduranga' and John would come to the front and let loose one of his amazing gospel-esque solos praising Rama or Vishnu or Jesus, Muhammad, Moses and more. He made one record under his own name - a record so obscure it's not listed on Discogs, nor found on the interweb? Today, for you dear listener, we would like to present Panduranga Henderson's 'Ocean of Love.' A1 Hari Nameste (Greetings) (10:04) A2 Hari Haraya (12:20)B1 Rama Rama, Sri Bhagwan (11:39) B2 Om Namah Shivaya (6:14). MORE INFO In 1967, audiences at the Monterey Pop Festival experienced the powerful voice and stage presence of Janis Joplin, many for the very first time. Her work with Big Brother & The Holding Company and as a solo artist was a defining force in the changing soundscape of rock music in the 1960s. Her passionate vocals on 'Piece of My Heart,' 'Cry Baby' and the posthumous chart-topper 'Me and Bobby McGee' inspired generations of female singers to pour their hearts out. Being released for the first time on vinyl in 27 years, Janis Joplin's Greatest Hits (originally released in 1973), will be repressed on green smoke colored vinyl in the U.S. For Record Store Day Black Friday 2017.

Born in 1933 in Abbott, TX, Ol' Willie is still going strong at the young age of 84! For RSD Black Friday, Modern Classics is re-releasing Spirit, Willie Nelson's forty-ninth studio album, originally released in 1996. The album differs from Nelson's other work because his band used fewer instruments on the recording (two guitars, piano, fiddle) and it has a more classical/Spanish influence. Spirit reached the US Country top 20 when it was released, and David Fricke from Rolling Stone describes it as 'low-key, acoustic, stripped to the rugged fundamentals of a good song and a superior voice.' Spirit is an emotional concept album illustrating the forlorn tale of a man abandoned by the great love of his life.

MORE INFO It's clear that garage music has had an international resurgence in the underground music community over the last decade. It's easy to find bands young and old paying tribute to the fuzzy, high-energy sound that originated in American garages of the 1960's. Sadly, some of the recordings that helped start it all have long been lost to obscurity in the digital age.

MORE INFO Bernie Worrell's 1978 solo debut All The Woo In The World, could easily pass as a lost Parliament/Fundadelic release. Worrell, the man himself, who passed away in 2016, needs little introduction. He was an American keyboardist, arranger & composer best known as a founding member of Parliament/Funkadelic and for his work with Talking Heads. All The Woo In The World was Bernie Worrell's solo debut album, originally released in 1978, and featuring P-Funk alumni George Clinton, Bootsy Collins, Maceo Parker, Fred Wesley and Eddie Hazel. When you hear All The Woo In The World it's no wonder David Byrne wanted Worrell to record with Talking Heads. In only seven tracks, Worrell shows how important he was to the P-Funk sound. It has everything: layered sounds, a toe-tapping midtempo beat, and incredible horns. It proved to be a classic platter of cosmic slop: funky and loose R&B. Heavily sought after by collectors, All The Woo In The World is an essential funk album by an artist who leaves a legacy as big as his career. Available for the first time on limited edition colored vinyl, All The Woo In The World is being released exclusively for RSD Black Friday 2017 and is only available in participating record stores starting on 11/24/17. 1.Woo Together 2.I'll Be With You 3.Hold On 4.Much Thrust 5.Happy To Have (Happiness On Our Side) 6.Insurance Man For The Funk 7.Much Thrust (Reprise).

MORE INFO Arkansas-reared, avant-roots/RnR raconteur Tav Falco is set to make the holidays merry with his first collection of Christmas standards, A Tav Falco Christmas. A fixture on the international music scene since 1981, Falco has been described by The New York Times as “A singer, guitarist and researcher of musical arcana who hasn’t let his increasingly technical expertise and idiomatic mastery compromise the clarity of his vision.” At the start of a scorching hot July in Memphis this year, Falco and his distinguished group of American/Euro vagabonds ensconced themselves at Sam Phillips Recording Service studios in Memphis. The lineup includes bassist Mike Watt (Minutemen, the Stooges), guitarist Mario Monterosso, and drummer Toby Dammit (currently the touring keyboardist in Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds). The album comes on a holiday red color LP, exclusively for Black Friday. MORE INFO Highly respected record label Light In The Attic is celebrating the 50th anniversary of 1960s sunshine-pop band The Free Design's debut album, Kites Are Fun, on limited edition colored vinyl. Kites Are Fun is a sunshine-bubblegum-daisy-puppy pop masterpiece that stands the test of time. Fans of the Beach Boys will wonder how they ever overlooked this 1967 gem, long admired by the likes of Beck, Madlib, and Belle & Sebastian. The Free Design was born out of the the Greenwich Village scene of 1966, and before disbanding in 1972, they had released six albums with tightly-knit vocal arrangements and intricately beautiful melodies. Nine of the songs on their debut Kites Are Fun are originals, notably the title track, which became an instant soft-pop classic. Well-chosen covers, including the Beatles' 'Michelle' and Simon & Garfunkels' 'The 59th Street Bridge Song,' complete the collection. For Record Store Day Black Friday 2017, Light In The Attic is proud to introduce The Free Design to a whole new generation of listeners. 1.) Kites Are Fun 2.) Make the Madness Stop 3.)

MORE INFO 2-LP gatefold on swirled red/white and blue/white vinyl, with two bonus songs and an exclusive Black Friday RSD 7' of 'Lady Don't Tek No' (produced by DJ Shadow) 20 years after its initial release, the Bay Area uber-classic Latyrx: The Album - lyricists Lyrics Born and Lateef The Truthspeaker, with production from DJ Shadow, Chief Xcel and Lyrics Born - still stands as a seminal recording. It has gone on to resonate with successive generations of listeners, and influence countless artists. Recorded over a two-year period, it was the first full-length release from the legendary Solesides collective, and encapsulates a highly creative and influential time in hip-hop, frequently dubbed The Golden Age. Over the course of the original release's 42 minutes, not only can you hear Lyrics Born and Lateef literally growing into themselves as artists, but you can also hear the germination of the Solesides sound, first given birth at California's UC Davis in the early '90s, driven by brothers-in- beats-and rhymes Blackalicious and DJ Shadow. Partially by design, and partially out of necessity, Latyrx-and the Solesides crew as a whole-became trailblazers. Lyrics Born remembers (in this set's lengthy liner notes), 'We really wanted to explore. New styles, new subject matter, new textures, new vocabulary. It came down to even wanting to do words in the English language that you had never heard in a rap song before. It was all about pushing.' And push they did, with game-changing lyrical exercises like 'Say That,' 'Balcony Beach,' 'The Wreckoning' and 'The Muzappers Mix.' Beyond cuts that back-in- the-day fans know from the original sequence, the two bonus tracks included in this edition are: 'Looking Over A City' [produced by El-P], originally released on the Quannum compilation Spectrum. And 'The Last Trumpet,' which closes this new deluxe edition. Originally appearing on the 2003 Lyrics Born solo album Later That Day, it's one of Latyrx's most-realized collaborations, and one of their most overtly-politically-themed songs. This deluxe, 2-LP issue of Latyrx: The Album is a must for longtime fans and newly-initiated listeners alike, with in-depth liner notes by veteran Bay Area journalist Eric Arnold (including input from Lyrics Born and Lateef The Truthspeaker) and packaged in a gatefold format. And for Black Friday Record Store Day only, 1,000 lucky buyers will have the addition of a first-time-ever 7-Inch of the group's 1997 single 'Lady Don't Tek No,' produced by DJ Shadow.

MORE INFO $2 from each copy of Smile Now, Cry Later sold on Black Friday Record Store Day 2017 will go to The Greater Houston Community Foundation to help with relief for areas of Texas that were affected by Hurricane Harvey When it comes to living legends in the Texas and Latin Music pantheon, few have been at it longer and are more revered by their fans and peers than vocalist, songwriter and bandleader Sunny Ozuna. Born and raised in San Antonio, where he still resides, Sunny became a star right out of high school in the late '50s and hasn't looked back in the six decades since. After releasing dozens of albums since the mid-1960s (in Spanish and English), Sunny still keeps a busy schedule and loves performing as much as he did as a teenager. His classic 45s regularly change hands for hundreds of dollars among collectors around the world, affirming his timeless appeal. As a logical next step after Big Crown's excellent (and Sunny-approved) Mr. Brown Eyed Soul compilation from September, the label has started digging into the vaults of Sunny's Key-Loc Records label to unearth some legit soul classics - which are hard to find even in San Antonio, and clean originals will cost you a pretty penny if you ever luck into one - and have not been on vinyl since the late '60s. Each has been remastered and includes original album art. First up is Smile Now, Cry Later, a 12-song platter which first hit in 1966. As with most Sunny LPs, this is a mix of soulful originals - most notably, 'Smile Now, Cry Later' and 'Put Me In Jail' - and provocative, wide-ranging covers. Cases in point on the tributes side of this great album include the Sam & Dave shouter 'Hold On I'm Comin'; 'Forever,' made famous by both the Marvelettes and Marvin Gaye, and a song that Sunny performs to this day; and the '60s Louis Prima crooner special 'Just A Gigolo.' The band is tight, the sound is honest, the vocals are dusky and deep, and the album is an undeniable soul and Texas music classic, ready to be discovered by a whole new generation of music fans.

MORE INFO $2 from each copy of The Missing Link sold on Black Friday Record Store Day 2017 will go to The Greater Houston Community Foundation to help with relief for areas of Texas that were affected by Hurricane Harvey When it comes to living legends in the Texas and Latin Music pantheon, few have been at it longer and are more revered by their fans and peers than vocalist, songwriter and bandleader Sunny Ozuna. Born and raised in San Antonio, where he still resides, Sunny became a star right out of high school in the late '50s and hasn't looked back in the six decades since. After releasing dozens of albums since the mid-1960s (in Spanish and English), Sunny still keeps a busy schedule and loves performing as much as he did as a teenager. His classic 45s regularly change hands for hundreds of dollars among collectors around the world, affirming his timeless appeal. As a logical next step after Big Crown's excellent (and Sunny-approved) Mr. Brown Eyed Soul compilation from September, the label has started digging into the vaults of Sunny's Key-Loc Records label to unearth some legit soul classics - which are hard to find even in San Antonio, and clean originals will cost you a pretty penny if you ever luck into one - and have not been on vinyl since the late '60s. Each has been remastered and includes original album art. Second in the reissue series is The Missing Link, a 10-cut, all instrumental album, and the tracklist is a wild ride indeed. Ranging from hip soul - James Brown's 'Soul Pride,' The Inclines' Muscle Shoals groover 'Pressure Cooker,' and the Meters classic 'Cissy Strut' - to a wide swath of '60s Texas Latin party essentials ('Uno,' 'Rosita Bonita' and 'La Pecosita'), the Sunliners are in top form all throughout. It won't take much to envision a San Antonio backyard BBQ in the early '70s with this long player spinning in the background, on repeat. Instrumental party albums were all the rage back when this hit in the late '60s, and Sunny Ozuna and crew show here that they could groove with the best of them. Throw it on, break out the back deck smoker, and let the good tunes roll. Soul Pride A2. Cissy Strut A4. Rosita Bonita A5. La Pollera Colorada B3. Pressure Cooker B4.

MORE INFO Richard Hell and the Voidoids’ Blank Generation is an iconic album that has influenced countless rock bands with its image, its attitude, and its blistering performances. Released in 1977 on Sire Records, the album was received ecstatically by critics such as Lester Bangs and the New York Times’ Robert Palmer (who called it one of the ten best albums of the decade), but as was the case with most original “punk” albums, it wouldn’t get mainstream recognition for decades. Now its place in music history is secure as one of punk’s most significant records. Recently, Rolling Stone magazine lauded Blank Generation as one of the “40 Greatest Punk Albums of All Time,” giving the innovative and literate band its well deserved credit on the cusp of its 40th anniversary. This seminal album is being recognized on its 40th anniversary this year with limited edition double-CD and double-LP deluxe editions to be released on Record Store Day’s Black Friday. Produced for release by Richard Hell, the album has been expertly remastered—by Greg Calbi of Sterling Sound, who mastered the original LP—as well as restored to its original 1977 track listing and sleeve imagery. BLANK GENERATION: 40th ANNIVERSARY DELUXE EDITION includes a second disc, with previously unreleased, alternate studio versions, out-of-print singles, and rare bootleg live tracks from the band’s first appearance in 1976 at CBGB. The booklet also contains many previously unpublished photos of the band by Roberta Bayley (the renowned CBGB photographer who shot the LP’s original cover), a revealing essay by Hell along with compelling images from his notebooks and private papers, and an extensive new interview with Ivan Julian by Hell. After establishing his reputation as founder of legendary bands the Heartbreakers and Television, Hell went onto to lead the Voidoids which included Robert Quine (who later played in Lou Reed’s Blue Mask band, as well as for Tom Waits, John Zorn, and many others), Ivan Julian (who would record for Matthew Sweet and numerous other artists) and Marc Bell (“Marky Ramone”). Along with the Ramones, Television, Blondie and Talking Heads, Hell and his band helped to define the early New York “first wave” punk scene. The song “Blank Generation” became a slogan and an anthem and later was emulated by the Sex Pistols for their track, “Pretty Vacant.” Such songs as “Love Comes In Spurts” and “Blank Generation” were originally recorded at Electric Lady Studios, but were re-recorded prior to release at Plaza Sound during Sire Records’ transition to Warner Bros. Records in 1977. At Plaza Hell reworked the album, leaving behind alternate versions and outtakes from Electric Lady that now appear on the second discs of these deluxe editions. The music sounds as fresh and abrasive today as when it was first released. Hell retired from music in 1984, refocusing on writing as his vocation. He’s the author of two novels and several books of nonfiction including his acclaimed autobiography, I Dreamed I Was a Very Clean Tramp.

Highlights include impressive romps through two of Hooker's signature tunes, 'Boom Boom,' which simply blazes with raw energy here, and 'One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer,' which is delivered as a wonderfully paced barroom cautionary tale.

MORE INFO Texas funk music is amongst the highest regarded styles in the genre, a unique mixture of jazz, blues, R&B and James Brown's syncopation that evolved in metropolises like Houston (Kashmere Stage Band), San Antonio (Mickey and the Soul Generation), Austin (James Polk and the Brothers) and Dallas. Dallas birthed a variety of independent labels, Soultex and Doin Our Thing amongst them. But no one in Dallas, Texas or America, created a run of 7' singles like Timothy McNealy did on his Shawn imprint. When it comes to heavy, funk music, in Dallas - in Texas - Timothy McNealy is king. This means that when it comes to funk music, in general, McNealy is hallowed. Yet McNealy's music has never been collected as an album, nor reappraised in its totality. A series of 7' single reissues have come out in the past 15 years, including his masterpiece 'Sagittarius Black,' a psychedelic funk instrumental that has been a cornerstone in every fan's rediscovery of the genre for the past 20 years. But this is the first time that his music is presented in its totality, giving the enlightened fan an opportunity to hear the breadth and depth of his Funky Movement. 'What's Going On?'

MORE INFO When it comes to authentic, ride-or-die hip-hop, few crews have as much resonance as Mobb Deep. Featuring two double-threat MCs who also produced - Havoc and the sadly-departed Prodigy - the crew changed the hardcore rap game in 1995 with their sophomore classic The Infamous, and went on to rule the dark corners of hip-hop for the second half of the 90s and well into the 2000s. After multiple Mobb Deep platters in the '90s, Prodigy entered the 2000s as a solo artist with force, rolling over a stomping, piano-freaked backdrop laced by producer The Alchemist, with 'Keep It Thoro.' It has held up over time, proving itself as an anthemic classic that the streets and clubs still respect. Flaunting a smooth-but-menacing flow, Prodigy's no-nonsense lyricism on 'Keep It Thoro' is prototypical modern age brag rap. Countless MCs have followed his flow, from Fabolous to Joey Bada$$. The song is short and sweet, clocking in at just over 3 minutes. There are no wasted verses, just hardcore rhymes that stay with you. But 'Thoro' was the tip of the iceberg on what proved to be one of the more coveted rap full-lengths of the era. The album boasted other charting singles, including 'Rock Dat Shit' and 'Y.B.E.' (featuring B.G.), but it can be argued that the album's real gems are buried deeper. 'Genesis,' 'What U Rep' (featuring Noreaga) and 'Three' are all sinister yet pensive. 'Wanna Be Thugs' and 'Delt With The Bullshit' are strong and evocative Mobb Deep cuts, featuring production and vocals by Havoc. And alongside other standouts, perhaps the deepest cut of all - especially in light of Prodigy's recent and way-too-soon passing due to complications from Sickle Cell Anemia - is 'You Can Never Feel My Pain,' which details the health issues and challenges this talented MC and producer had been facing his whole life. Was Prodigy's first solo album, but it is perhaps his best. Among fans he will never be forgotten, for his skills, his storytelling and his no-B.S. Approach to the art of MCing.

MORE INFO Scream was formed in 1981 by vocalist Peter Stahl, his brother Franz Stahl on guitar, Skeeter Thompson on bass, and Kent Stax on drums. The next few years would see the addition of second guitarist Robert Lee Davidson and keyboard player Bobby Madden. Following three LPs on Dischord Records, Scream's No More Censorship was released by reggae label Ras Records in August 1988. A seminal album of the DC punk scene, the album was the first to feature Dave Grohl, who replaced Stax for the album and stayed with the band until they disbanded in 1990. This was the first Scream album the now world famous musician ever played on. Since disbanding, several incarnations of Scream have reunited/resurfaced for random tours and recordings since. Members of the band went on to form countless other influential actis, including Nirvana, Wool, Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age, Goatsnake, The Suspects and others. Southern Lord is proud to be chosen to reissue Scream's everlasting No More Censorship album. The band found the original multi-track tapes and Southern Lord had them prepped for a remix at Grohl's 606 studio. The new mix sounds vital and intense: the entire packaging, layout and design is completely different from the original, with the inclusion of photos, lyrics, poetry and other personal writingfr from the band during that era. Pressed on red/yellow vinyl with unreleased tracks and an extensive 32 page lyric book.

MORE INFO The World of Studio Ghibli is Vitamin String Quartet's refined interpretation of the wonderfully emotional music found in the films of Japanese animation giant, Studio Ghibli. This collection delivers an unlikely twist on the studio's most iconic works, producing an album that brings the child out in all of us, while highlighting Ghibli's ability to shine detail and beauty on the simplest themes. With tracks from the entire history of Ghibli animations, including a supernatural version of 'On a Clear Day' from 1988's Kiki's Delivery Service, to a poignant rendition of 'Fine on the Outside' from 2014's When Marnie Was There, VSQ are honored to tribute such deeply nostalgic and masterful pieces. Grampa’s bullet delivery system was the 1911. While the 1911 has never fallen out of favor, even its most ardent supporters must acknowledge that the hundred year old platform is showing its age. Thus, the 1911 has been challenged for.45 caliber supremacy by more moddish pistols made in strange and distant lands with exotic names, like Porto Alegre,, and Springfield, Massachusetts. However, despite all the competition, two manufacturers continue to rule the modern.45 roost — Glock and SIG SAUER. Glock claims to be “America’s Gun,” an assertion that the folks at SIG SAUER would dispute if they could speak English. In a replay of the Austro-Prussian War and hoping to provoke a border incident, I shot the Austrian pistol side by side and round for round against the Swiss-German pistol to try to determine, for myself if no one else, which gun from mitteleuropa does the better job of firing the cartridge from Middle America. The results will shock some, inflame others and put 1911 lovers to sleep. So, on with the show. Checking Them Out, Side by Side This comparison isn’t a matter of potato against potahto. This is an epic throwdown. As sportscasters are apt to say, these two pistols flat out don’t like each other. This is the Red Sox against the Yankees, Ali against Frazier and Mothra against Godzilla (without the singing Japanese midgets). Both guns fire the same caliber, both dress in basic black and both guns use an adaptation of John Browning’s short-recoil, locked breech system. That’s it for points of convergence. The differences twixt the G21 and the P220 are far more abundant. The G21 has a polymer frame; the SIG’s is alloy. The Glock carries thirteen rounds in its double-stack magazine, while the P220 loads eight cartridges stacked up like spoons. The American Planning Association has announced its 2017 Great Places in America. The Great Places award acknowledged five winners each in three categories—Great Neighborhoods, Public Spaces, and Great Streets.

Reception: Thursday, November 30, 6:00 - 8:00pm. SVA Gramercy Gallery 209 East 23rd Street New York, NY 10010. High school students throughout the United States answered the call for submissions from the BFA Photography and Video Department at the School of. The Glock is a striker fired, DAO pistol. The SIG is a hammer fired, SA/DA pistol. The two pistols have about as much in common as Khloe and Lamar, and we know where that’s going. More than any other functional factor, it’s the triggers that set these pistols apart from each other. Okay, sure, they both have them, but they work differently. Because it’s a DAO pistol, you’d expect that the Glock’s pull would be as long, tedious and heavy as the album version of “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.” Well, it isn’t. The Glock’s short-ish trigger pull trips the sear at a gentle 5.5 pounds give or take a few ounces. But worry not about carrying the gun safely. Even if you tuck a Glock into your Thunderwear and testicle carry, the gun will not go boom unless someone or something presses the trigger. The someone is you; the something I leave to your imagination. The SIG’s sublime SA pull is rated at an even more ultralight 4.5 pounds, which is probably too light for an SA pistol without a safety. SIG makes its feathery trigger as safe as a Nerf gun, without any safety, by means of a decocking lever that lowers the hammer. With the hammer down, it takes a 10 pound long-ish double-action pull to touch off the first spark. Subsequent shots are SA. And carry away, lads and lassies, because toting the P220 decocked is just as safe as carrying a revolver with its hammer down, which is a hundred times safer than not carrying at all. You will not go all Tex Grebner on your own ass with the P220 unless you do something really dumb, like carrying the pistol in Condition Zero. There’s another difference between the two pistols that more subtle, but obvious once I looked. The barrel of the Glock is much thicker, and while I didn’t put either barrel on a scale, I’ll bet it’s heavier, too. That might equate to better long-term durability, but it might not. I just thought I’d mention it to keep y’all guessing. Finally, there’s the acid test for all things that must be purchased, and that’s the price. Stretching our armament-buying dollar, the G21 Gen3 sells for a measly $500 or so of our hard-earned US American greenbacks. That’s not a lot to pay for a high quality, big-bore handgun. On the other hand, the SIG lists for a palpitation-inducing and wallet-emptying $993 bones. That’s a whole lot of scratch for a duty/service type pistol. I think it’s fair to say that the G21 is a gun for everyman, while the SIG P220 is a gun for everyman with a trust fund. Capacity also favors the Glock by 13 to 8, so why the face-off? The Glock’s the clear winner, right? If the proof of the pudding is in the eating, then the proof of the pistol should be in the blowing up of, uh, stuff. So, to the range I went, armed with the two guns and enough ammo to storm Tora Bora. Man, I love my job. Touch Testing the Triggers and Stocks Both pistols are justifiably famous for their triggers. I found the G21’s trigger pull spongy and somewhat vague, but it’s still a good trigger. Interestingly, several hammer-fired DA pistols, such as the, utilize a similar partial pre-cocking system lighten the trigger pull of hammer-fired pistols. Proof positive, I think, that in the world of guns there’s nothing so novel that another manufacturer can’t copy it. SIG chose something different for the venerable P220, using the DA pull in lieu of a safety. I was expecting two different trigger pulls for the P220, depending on whether I was firing DA or SA. What I found instead was one trigger pull with two different weights and lengths. Both pulls were very intuitive, easy, smooth and crisp. The DA pull broke like the proverbial glass rod. The SA pull, being lighter, snapped like one of those skinny Alessi breadsticks that they serve up in the neighborhood trattoria. The SIG’s trigger isn’t just good or even very good. It’s great, in either mode. As for the stocks, I placed one pistol atop the other to show how different the thicknesses are. It’s a huge deal. The SIG is a single stack pistol with a handle that’s as sleek as Kathy Ireland. The Glock, being a double-stack pistol and, well, a Glock, has a handle about as comfortable as sharing a sleeping bag with Rosie O’Donnell. Guys with hands the size of oven mitts will love the Glock. Those of us who are less deformed will prefer the SIG. Slide to Slide Shooting Comparison I have never liked Glock’s goofy plastic sights, especially the rear with its inexplicable U-shaped highlight that does nothing to help form a sight picture. In contrast, the SIG sports conventional three dot sights. Lo and behold, in the low-light conditions of the indoor range, the Glock sights fore and aft remained highly visible, while the SIG’s rear dots tended toward obscurity and the front almost disappeared. I didn’t see that coming. Peering down the barrel of the Glock, I formed the best sight picture that I could and slow-fired five rounds of hardball at five yards. The shots formed a lovely cloverleaf, all in the red. Take that, SIG. From a previous expedition to the range, I knew that the SIG’s sights were maladjusted, aiming low and as far left as a Massachusetts Attorney General. I’d had the front sight drifted, but it wasn’t by enough to correlate point of aim with point of impact. I should have tapped the rear sights along with the front, but I didn’t, so sue me. I compensated for the skewed sights by holding a couple of degrees to the right. I got a very nice four shot grouping, still left but very tight. Trying to hit dead center, I overcompensated on the last shot, hitting the red but losing contact with the group. When all was said and done, at five yards the Glock outperformed the SIG. Not by much to be sure, but the results on paper could not be denied. Videos shot from the side revealed another telling point — the Glock exhibited less muzzle rise than the SIG. Comparing the two pistols side by side, it was apparent that the Glock’s bore axis is slightly lower slightly than the SIG’s, which reduces muzzle rise somewhat. Glock achieves this by placing the barrel close tighter to the guide rod and by flattening out the top of the slide, which makes it work a little bit better but makes it look like the slide got a buzz cut. It’s butch, but ugly. Both pistols returned to point automatically, as they should. Still, once again, the Glock was marginally outpacing the SIG. Both guns proved boringly accurate at five yards as I burned through a couple of million rounds of Winchester 230 grain ammo. Feeling confident in both pistols, I ran the target out to 25 yards. After watching the Glock kicking the SIG’s butt, I was expecting more of the same. What I got instead was a big dose of WTF. Shooting offhand at a target that I could barely see in the range’s, uh, romantic lighting, I managed a 3.5” group with the SIG. Naturally, I expected the G21 to top that easily. The Glock didn’t come close, barely managing an 8” group. I imagine that shooting either pistol from a Ransom rest or sandbags would have shrunk these groups down by at least 50%, but the point is that the SIG was more accurate offhand than the Glock might have been if it was benched. That’s another thing that I didn’t see coming. As an SD pistol, I awarded the red ribbon to the Glock by a razor thin margin. In truth, any BG on the wrong end of either gun would find himself drilled like Abu Dhabi. On the other hand, shooters of targets and plates might find the SIG more to their liking. Conclusion These are two outstanding pistols. They’re powerful, accurate and, like 18 year old Macallan’s, they satisfy shot after shot. I’d be very confident shooting either one of them in competition or in defense of hearth, home or heinie – especially my heinie. Still, to quote Connor MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod, there can be only one. Independent of price, I’d choose the SIG. It’s an all-metal, German-made Swiss watch of a pistol. It felt better, looked better and had a better trigger than the G21. Price dependant, I’d choose the Glock, because it’s a damn good shooter, as reliable as an old bluetick hound and let’s face it, there’s just no way that the P220 is worth almost twice the price of the G21. And now, if you don’t mind, I’d like some syrup and whipped cream with my waffle. I love 1911’s too but your why buy a copy when you can get the original is flawed logic. Why buy a modern car with new designs when you could get a ford model T? Because things have advanced. Sure, you could trow a nice DOHC modern Direct Injected Engine into a model T and give it modern brakes and suspension but it’s core design is still a model T. To get a 1911 that I would trust as much as a Glock or a Sig out of the box, I would have to spend some serious bucks or have a 500 round break in period. This is false! Glocks became famous because movie good guys carried them and falsely gave the impression that they were all plastic. Then tons of law enforcement agencies purchased them for their reliability, ease of use and price tag. Glock was the sexy “operator’s” gun, all the gun magazines wrote about them, so like all things, folks ran out a gobbled up what law enforcement & movie good guys carry, so they could live out their pipe dreams. This was no “gangbanger” gun because for the longest they were too expensive. Contrary to popular belief, the average “gangbanger” is a broke, insecure person, who had to gravitate to the pack because he lacks the courage to be a lone wolf or leader. The money guys or upper echelon guys may carry more expensive weapons but they rarely get involved in activities that could get them arrested, the low level wannabes do most of that and the only way most of the wannabes could own a Glock (average $500) is if they stole one. Remember, these types don’t prioritize the best, they may have about $500 of weed to smoke, maybe $150 in sneakers, $500 on a phone but they will hit a pawn shop for a used bulky Ruger 9mm or a cheapo Lorcin.380. That is the most ignorant thing I’ve heard today, but then again it’s still early. Yes, bangers occasionally have glocks and every rapper has a lyric about them but Glocks are the most commonly carried LE pistol in the US. I’ve always disliked Glock, not due to the weapons themselves. My disdain is due to the way that these Austrian Chevys swept the American market by forcing their product on cops by offering freebies and cheapies to the brass in exchange for orders. I’d say the most common pistol I’ve seen on bangers and deviants could be a toss up between Taurus revolvers and low end S&W polymer frames. Maybe one or two G17 or G19s per month. I am so done with 1911s. I have owned two, a Springfield Loaded for which hollow points nose dived into the feed ramp and a Les Baer Commanche that failed to go into battery about once every 50 rounds. Come to find out Les doesn’t machine the Commanche frames to commander spec, it’s a full sized frame with the dust cover cut down. The slide doesn’t travel back near as much as a 5″ gun. I’m sure they can be tuned to run well but that’s just it, why deal with a two pound gun that holds 8 rounds that has to be tuned? I’m so happy I went to the G21. It’s just as accurate as the Baer at reasonable distances and it just plain runs. I have to admit that I like 1911s on an emotional basis but when it comes down to it I want an appliance. Nobody wants a 1911/Glock war. I do like 1911s and I will probably own one again. But, I tell you, I can’t get that Glock to fail. I tried to hold it as limp as possible and I can’t induce a failure. It’s the old, “In theory, theory and practice are the same, in practice they are not.” Somebody smart said that. Just think how many parts need to be in very close tolerance for a 1911 to link down properly. The link pin needs to be just the right length. I’m talking tolerance on the order of 0.001″ to do it right. The lower lugs of the barrel need to contact the frame in just the right way so that the portion closest to the barrel hits first without loading the pin. It is supposed to leave a bow tie mark on the frame if correct. Now lets look at the Glock. The cam on the barrel just has to hit the loading block and done. No tight tolerances required. This is just one example of why the simple design of the Glock lends itself to production with a very low error rate. You can certainly tune the 1911 to work just great but the design requires many more parts to be fit just right. Just take the Les Baer that I had. If I needed to replace the frame it would be $1000 where a brand new pistol is about $1600. This is because of all the hand fitting that is required. I could take a table of parts for 100 Glock pistols. I could grab any random combination of parts and it would produce a functioning pistol with no smithing required. I don’t get how 1911 aficionados don’t appreciate the beauty of this. In my mind, beauty is not just a finely tuned machine but also a design that doesn’t require fine tuning. Now, shall we talk about extractors? I get it, some run great. But, if your mil-spec breaks and you need to replace it I would wager that there is a much higher chance of picking up another one that doesn’t run great as compared to the Glock. Say you just want to replace the barrel, is it truly drop in or does it take a little careful filing here and there? Just the variety of magazines with different follower designs kills me for 1911s. You have the McCormicks, the Wilsons, the Colts, etc. Why on earth are they not built to the same spec? Why do some guns like certain mags but not others? I no longer have to concern myself with such questions. Go to a USAF special ops school and then say they don’t count. I wasn’t the one suggesting that us specops community uses glocks, but I do know this — the numerous entities of the large socom community experiment with numerous duty pistols, and glocks have been included in those experiments for years, and SEALS have tested glocks. Just guessing, but I’d hardly be surprised if glocks weren’t used somewhere sometime. They have all kinds of specialized missions where they need to go sterile, and that typically mandates non-issued weaponry. It is not because of their training I consider them insignificant, it is because of their numbers (they make up a small% of the USSOC family) and their role of assimilating into other units. Yes SEALs and others tested Glocks, and they passed on them. Traditionally when go sterile you either use the same firearms as the indigenous forces, but in some cases you will use those of another nation’s forces. So while there is a chance our other boys have used a Glock in the field it is very unlikely. I consider it unlikely that one of the USAF operators has either, since due to logistics and the great advantage of having the same equipment, ammo, mags, etc. As everyone else in the unit, they have most likely adopted what ever sidearm the rest of the unit they are attached to has. Considering most SOC groups use 45s would you want to be the one man using a 9mm? No ability to share mags, and worse yet you cannot even strip another’s mag for the rounds since they are not the same caliber. Even if you happen to be assigned to that one SEAL group that is apparently still using 9mm handguns you still can’t grab a mag from them since Sig P226 mags aren’t going to fit your Glock. I’ve worked with one CCT and trained with a couple PJs over the years and I have never, even at the range, seen them with a Glock. No heartburn here. FWIW, years ago a seal told me the springs on the glock rusted easily in salt water. Seems to me that’s an easy solve, but whatever. I’m not a guy who looks for the next shiny object to come out of the teams or otherwise, for several reasons, a big one being that there’s often so little transferability between specop needs and civvie needs. That said, the glock strikes me as a perfect specops pistol. Durable as hell, reliable as the devil, intuitive handler, with plenty of options. First, gangbangers almost always have some shitty old revolver, not like what you see on tv, second, the Glock is not a copy of a 1911. I have been in bad places with guns a few times and yes, have actually had to deploy a handgun, which sucks by the way. I have been issued all sorts of 1911”s and all sorts of Glocks. I will take 13 rounds over 7 any day of the week! Also the Glock is half the weight loaded, the Glock is far tougher and easier to carry. I never had to but I could find Glock parts all over the world. The 1911 is finicky, lacks firepower and is a pain in the ass to keep clean and working in mud or sand. You need punches screwdrivers and hammers to take apart a 1911, none of that nonsense for the Glock. The Glock does not care about sand, saltwater, dirt or abuse, plus it’s far far easier to carry! People who just have guns always chose 1911’s. People like me who shoot for a living choose the Glocks for the reasons I have stated. Firepower means EVERYTHING in a fight! Do not kid yourself!! This being said I own five 1911’s including a Ed Brown and Wilson Combat. They are much better looking and expensive. Save you’re cash and get the Glock it is a far superior platform. These facts are from real world experience, not from couch commandos. Well, tdiinva,I don’t agree that the Glock was designed specifically for criminals. I do believe that the Glock was designed for the Austrian military who demanded a very high level of performance which the Glock exceeded. The Glock is some pretty reliable “tupperware”. I have carried duty pistols since 1986, S&W m-10s to Glock 22s. During my career as a Sheriff, we transitioned from the S&W 5906 to the Glock 22 and the qualifying scores with the Glock were vastly improved over the miserable little Smith. That 5906 had the worst trigger of any pistol I have ever fired. I think that to intimate that if it ain’t built in “Umerica”, it’s crap is ridiculous. My first love was a veteran 1911 and I still say that Browning got it absolutely right. We are very fortunate that the 1911 was such an excellent design. However, that excellence ensured that any and all production handguns, from anywhere, had to at least equal old slabsides or go out of business. Even the venerable Smith & Wesson company has produced guns with miserable workmanship. [ Bangor Punta]. So, whatever the “homies” choose to pack, these days, keep holding your guns sideways. It gives me such a chuckle. Well tdiinva, I’m a retired lawman and have carried pretty much everything from S&W model 10s to the Glock 22. Your assertion that Glock is somehow a criminals gun is ridiculous. More LEOs in North America carry a Glock than any other handgun. I really love the old 1911, the way I love Bogart movies or ’55 Caddies. Having said that, a Lawman needs something utterly reliable when bad things happen. The old 1911 is not “utterly reliable” and is prone to incompatible magazine issues,ammunition sensitivity and extractor problems. A box stock Glock will exhibit none of these problems. I’m a fan of lots of neat handguns, including revolvers but, for carry use, I trust nothing but Glock. It’s obvious that you have never had to carry a handgun for a living. Nostalgia doesn’t win gunfights. Gangbangers are a lot more likely to use a Taurus, Ruger or (gasp) S&W than a Glock. Don’t believe me. Check actual data, most obviously, Chicago’s breakdown of guns seized by police. Glock is too expensive for gang-bangers. Of course, so are Colt and NEW S&Ws, as well as SIG, re: the article this comment thread is under. The guns used tend to be older ones floating around (stolen from somebody’s closet or “borrowed” from Uncle Tyrone). If purchased by a thug, they generally get the cheapest thing possible. Take your polymer frame sissy pistol back to barbie land. Real men like all metal guns. Seriously though, the glock IMO is “good enough” for 90% of shooting applications but for a little more scratch I will take the SIG any day. I would also like to mention you should do some shopping around for SIG’s next time, the near $1,000.00 price tag is on what I would call the high end of SIG retail prices. While the $500.00 is on the low end for the glock. If you wanted to average them out I would say while the Glock might set you back $550.00 on average the SIG 220 can be had for $850-$900. I was thinking that too, until I tried one. It’s not terrible, but way too chunky for someone with average hand size. The trigger is nothing special and afer firing it for some time it became very uncfomfortable to hold. I’m still shopping for a nice plastic.45. I’ve tried the G21, HK45, FNP45, XDM 45 and M&P 45. To my surprise, I shot the M&P the best. I really wanted to like the Glock and its larger mag capacity, but the M&P performed better for me. Yes, the trigger is gritty, but I was more accurate with it than all the other guns (all stock, no modifications). No love for the XD/XDM series? I would thin, given your reference of the 1911, that the XD would warrant at least a passing mention, better yet a full review. Having shot both the glock 21 and the XD45 before I purchased I can say that the XD45 is superior, at least in my eyes. The glock and the XD have basically the same finish quality, similar price, same mag capacity, same trigger style and the XD has the added benefit of an unobtrusive grip safety. The all metal sights of the XD are a plus, but the insanely tight front sight doesn’t help much. Most of us civvie shooters take pretty good care of our shootin’ irons, so it’s probably not a huge factor, but IMO one of the prime advantages of the Glock is its near indestructibility. I’ll try to find the link to the site where the guy tried to “torture test” his G21 by, among other things, running it over with a large truck, burying it in the sand and then shooting it, “lubricating” it with an extremely abrasive compound, and dropping it out of an airplane at ~1000′ or so. He never could get it to break. The Glock, being a double-stack pistol and, well, a Glock, has a handle about as comfortable as sharing a sleeping bag with Rosie O’Donnell. I’m impressed with the effort you made to find an apt comparison for the G21 grip. Double-stack versus double-sack? I myself would not have been willing to hop in a sleeping bag with Rosie just to, uh, flesh out a gun-grip comparison, though I’m not surprised she was willing to join you. Above and beyond. (A heavier gun and lighter trigger make a difference at 25 yards, no? My 5-inch steel 1911’s are easy at 25 yards compared to the Glock. At 5 yards on defense, though, I’d rather have the Glock. And the cops can keep it for six months afterwards for all I care.). Ralph, there are a few things we need to talk about. If you are taking “shots” of McCallans, I may very well show up at your house and kick your ass (but in a nice way) with my size 14 boots. Sip it and don’t be a twit. If you must take shots, go get some Evan Williams or something else that doesn’t cost a fortune. Nobody really thinks its cool to waste money on expensive booze that you can’t really taste and enjoy because you just tossed it down your throat like a college freshman. If you can’t do better than an 8in group with a modern semi-auto (of practically Any brand) you should give up and take your ball home. What is it with TTAG writers that get brand new pistols from reputable manufacturers and somehow manage to make basketball sized groups at 25yds? If I shot an 8in group with a new G21 I certainly would not post pictures on the internet to advertise the fact that I am a rank amateur. Now, go buy a case of ammo and call us when you can keep five shots under 4in at 25yds. I’m glad we had this talk. I think there is hope for you because the rest of the review was decent. Well first off, I am somewhat of an asshole from time to time. Since you called me out here is a group shot with a 20+yr old Ruger P85MKII (not known for being tack drivers). This was shot at 25yds (I think this was rested, not off hand but I honestly dont remember). I bought this gun used about four years ago and have put about 2000 rounds thru it. I have no idea how much it was used before it came into my possession. For reference, the playing card in the picture is 2.5 x 3.5 inches which makes this group about 5in x 3in: The point was not that Ralph should quit and go home (although I did say that). Later on in my post I said he should go get a case of ammo and practice up. I dunno if you have noticed, but there is quite a bit of sarcasm and snark on TTAG. Both from the writers (Faragofor instance) and from the A-hole peanut gallery (me and others). 8in at 25yds with a brand new G21? You have to be kidding. Is that a rapid-fire group? I admit it, I got carried away and was unfairly harsh to Ralph. I don’t really think he should quit, and he is not a “rank amateur” (that was over the top). But, Ropingdown, I expect someone who writes for a gun magazine or blog to be able to shoot better than the average police officer. You make a fair point that picking up an unfamiliar pistol and shooting for accuracy is difficult. Which is why I would expect a gun writer to take the time to get familiar with the tool in question before making statements about its accuracy. Maybe try some different ammo brands. If you don’t do your due-diligence its easy to lead people to a wrong conclusion based on incomplete information. That is not particularly helpful if someone is trying to make an objective decision on how to spend their hard earned money. For the record, my comment about Ralph taking whiskey shots was just teasing. I’m not going to show up at his place and try to kick himbecause he’s Armed with couple of.45 Auto pistols and would likely use them if I did. If I shot an 8in group with a new G21 I certainly would not post pictures on the internet to advertise the fact that I am a rank amateur. While you do state it a bit more forcefully than I would, I agree with the general sentiment- why do so many firearm reviewers think we give a rat’s about how well they can shoot the thing? The firearm is exactly the same mechanically regardless of what hand you’re holding it in. If the group opens up, it is a flaw of your offhand technique, not a flaw with the firearm. Put it in a rest for the accuracy test. If you don’t have a rest, get one. We want to know about the inherent accuracy of the design, not how well you can shoot the thing offhand (even if you’re doing a backflip while blindfolded). That’s my only quibble in an otherwise decent review. Well, that, and if TTAG is paying you well enough to do Macallan’s 18 by the shot, I might have to get in on this gig. I didn’t put either pistol in a rest, and haven’t for any other review, because I want to see how the pistol will work without one. I’m not testing the rest, or the ammo. Just the gun. And no, I don’t think you give a rat’s hat about how I shoot, nor should you. The review is about the gun, not the shooter. Which doesn’t explain why I shot a much smaller group with the SIG under the same circumstances. But what I wonder about most is whether you’d still be complaining if the SIG/Glock results had been reversed. The loyalty of Glock enthusiasts is commendable until it borders on the cultish. But what I wonder about most is whether you’d still be complaining if the SIG/Glock results had been reversed. The reason for wanting a rest test is because it takes the human factors out of the equation. Individual ergonomics are so variable that how well it shoots in other people’s hands isn’t useful information. For example: I have gorilla-sized mitts, the G21 is comfortable for me, and I can shoot it accurately. A friend of mine has small hands, and he has trouble keeping it on paper. But it also means that my assessment of a gun isn’t very useful to him, and vice versa. With proper technique and sufficient practice, you will learn to shoot an accurate gun well. But no amount of practice can compensate for a bad design or poor manufacturing. So when I read a review, I mostly want to know which guns are crap designs or are poorly made. I don’t care in the slightest about the fanboy thing- variety is the spice of life, I think someone who only shoots one gun is missing out. Great review, I don’t agree with the comments from the peanut gallery (as others have called it) on the 1911 suggesting unreliability or needing to have a 500 round break in period, or that you must spend $993 dollars for reliability. I have tested the SR1911 extensively including with hollow points and no failures up to this point, I have also tested it in a ransom rest I am absolutely amazed by it’s accuracy. I also have a RIA 1911 that is my bump in the night pistol loaded with 185gr Hornady Critical Defense rounds. Basically saying I trust me and my families life to it, if I ever have to rely on it or fight my way to my long gun. The Glocks and other synthetic polymer type pistols have made great advancements so has the 1911. Just because the 1911 base design is 100 years old doesn’t mean it has just stood still, there are basic 1911’s on the market in the $500 dollar range that should be just as reliable out of the box as these two. Again great article Ralph. Nice article. Technical point but aren’t DOA and striker fired two distinctly different things? Don’t own a glock so can’t speak from experience but striker fired (i.e ‘partially cocked’) is in my mind more like an SA ( a la 1911) pistol than a true DOA, and therefore more prone to going “all tex grebner on your ass”. Would give me the heebie jeebies to carry one with a round in the chamber. To each his own though. Also I’ve never understood the idea of putting a safety that you have to pull on top of the thingy you pull to make the gun go bang. I’m not a gunsmith, am I missing some other internal function of the trigger safety? It prevents some object as thin, or thinner than the 1/2 trigger on either side of the safety blade from depressing the trigger? I suppose there are those times you might have left a pencil in your holster and forgot about it. Nice article (funny too why do people have to hate?) I vote sig Technical point but arent DAO and striker fired distinctly different things? Don’t own a Glock so really dont know but to me striker fired (“partially cocked” ) is much more like SA (a la 1911) than DOA and therefore more prone to go ” all tex grebner on your ass”. Also I’ve never understood putting a safety you have to pull on the thingy you pull to make the gun go bang. Am I missing some other internal function of the trigger safety? Is it there to prevent some object that is as thin or thinner than the 1/2 trigger on ether side of the safety blade from depressing the trigger? I suppose there are those times you leave a pencil in your holster and forget(?) Both great guns, to each his own (sorry if i double posted). Three things — first, most people’s doughboy grandpappies were as, or more, likely to be pulling the trigger on a revolver than the 1911. Second.sigh.about 1911s. Let’s cut the crap — for serious work, 1911’s are so yesterday. I carried them, in the colt versions, big and small, tuned and untuned, and they simply are not as reliable, accurate nor efficient as a variety of modern pistols like glock, sig, hk, springfield, even ruger and sw, esp in m&p. There’s a reason that 1911s need so much tweaking and aftermarket parts. Reality check — the biggest appeal about the 1911 is romantic. It has a strong emotional appeal. But when my life was on the line, 1911s were several spots down the list as my choice of combat pistols. And let’s forget that “it’s the gun of swat teams.” First, most of those teams chose 1911s years ago. Second, those 1911s are HIGHLY tuned and highly maintained. Third, specops, esp LE, operate heavily in a monkey see, monkey do environ. They “benchmark” off of what bigger or famous agencies do, whether that’s FBI or LAPD. Fourth, those special teams are migrating to modern pistol designs anyway. Third, there’s little functional diff between the p220 and the g21. It’s mostly just a matter of personal preference. Both are highly reliable, accurate, durable, ergonomic gunfighting tools. Lastly, about glock — I carried them, and no longer carry them lately, ONLY out of current personal carry preference toward revolver. But I respect the holy f*ck out of them. Glock is the most important pistol design of the 20th century, and most influential. Note: the 1911 was designed in the 19th century. Bash the Combat Tupperware all you want — but those guns run. I’d bet my life on them in a NY minute. I only prefer sigs as my first choice because I carried and taught sigs for so damn long, not because they’re superior or not superior to glock. I’m a big time Glock supporter. I wouldn’t call myself a fan boy, but I do appreciate the simplicity of the design and the pure functionality of it. The G21 is a combat accurate pistol. It is capable of producing better than 8″ groups at 25 yards. I think in this case the ergonomics of the Glock fat frame were a detriment. Personally, I like the standard Glock frame. It fits my hand like a glove, so to speak. Both pistols are fantastic. The real question revolves around the individual shooter as the grip size and ergonomics vary widely between a fat double stack and a skinny single stack. All I know is I’ll take one of each please. Personally, I’m a SIG man (no Freudian slip intended). I’ve never fired a Glock, but I got a great deal on a new SIG P220 through an offer to the military. My father was classified Expert Marksman with the Colt 1911s in WWII. He picked up a Walther P38 from a German artillery officer who happened to walk out of an alley when Dad had a rifle pointed in his direction. He’d picked up a Luger from some other German soldier. He preferred the Walther & left the Luger. He said that he always shot better with the Walther than a Colt 1911. Even today it can put 50 rounds in a 4.5″ circle at 25 feet. Both guns shoot better than I do. I have a P220 with Crimson Trace grips that will put 5 rounds in 3″ at 50 feet using a modified Weaver stance. I don’t use the DA — pulling the hammer from de-cocked to ready-to-rock on the draw. I prefer hammer guns to striker-fired. I’ve been called a Luddite, but my sense is that I am certain of the gun’s condition without ever diverting my eyes from the threat. I’ve shot Glocks, but never owned one, and would not be in a great hurry to trade in my Sig for one. As far as mag capacity is concerned, 8 rounds is probably seven more than you’ll need with a projectile like Hornady’s Critical Defense. A spare mag ain’t such a big deal, if you feel the need. How about the Glock 21 vs Sig Sauer’s 1911 TacOps? I went from the Glock 23 to the TacOps and I noticed a huge difference in accuracy and control. I miss having the extra rounds (13 rounds vs 8 rounds), but I have become a better and more confident shooter with the Sig TacOps simply because I can handle it better and the sight system is better. I haven’t shot the Sig P220, but I’m looking at a P226 TacOps and even at a Glock 22. One thing, I have not had to make any adjustments or upgrades to my Sig, but to put a Glock on par with my Sig I would have to make upgrades which would ultimately cost more (i.e. Night sights, grip, trigger). The great thing about Glocks is that you can do all of the upgrades yourself so long as you have an eye for detail. But one thing that really got to me with Glocks was in a mag change. I’ve had mags in my Glock where I had to shake the gun to get them to fall or speed up their drop so I could reload. I have not had that problem ever with the Sig mags (P220 and TacOps mags are the same). I just push the mag release and throw in a new mag. For my first 13 years on patrol, my department issued Sig p220’s. The Chief decided to issue Springfield XD tactical to the SWAT team, mainly because of the extra ammo capacity and I had to turn in my SIG. Fortunately, I was given the option to purchase my SIG from the department and took them up on the offer. Now my duty belt weighs twice as much and my right hip kills me from the extra weight. I’ll pay twice as much for a superior weapon any day of the week! All of the female officers and a few week wrist-ed males on the department carry Glocks. Girls like GlocksMen Shoot SigsNuff Said. First of all great review Ralph! Second in my opinion Sig over Glock, Sig wins hands down but that is just my preference. I own sig p226 9mm and sig p220 and love them both. My buddy owns a Glock 17 and Glock 21 and to him nothings better then his glocks. I’ve shot his Glocks almost as much as my sigs and him vice versa.I shoot the Sigs better, he shoots better with the Glocks.The question is would I trust a Glock with my life? Ya, if I forgot my Sig at home. The Glock just doesnt feel right, it feels force and uncomfortable. However, everyone likes what they like. He loves vanilla ice cream and I love mint chocolate chip. The beauty is we have 29 other flavors too choose from if we want. First of all great review Ralph! Second in my opinion Sig wins hands down. I own sig p226 and sig p220 love them both.

The beauty is we have 31 flavors too choose from. I eat SIG’s for lunch! What $500 dollar Glock? My G-21 with a set of Meprolights cost almost $700 dollars. Then there was the: trigger stop, the Wolff guide rod, the extended slide lock, the extended slide stop, 4.5# connector, aluminum slide cover, and custom-fitted Bar-Sto Precision barrel. With an additional 6 standard capacity magazines the total price approached $1300 dollars. The 100% mirror-polish action job was free. (I did it myself.) I’ll be frank! (I’m not Frank; but I will be, anyway.) My polymer frame pistol will still be tight and shooting when anybody else’s alloy frame pistol will be rattling on every shot. It’s a good, very well written review, Ralph; but, I’ve got to ask you: Do you really need to aim at 5 yards? Good thing I didn’t see this before I bought that used Glock 21. But haven’t shot a pistol in over 6 years never pulled the trigger on a Glock. When I took mine out on the farm for some fam fire, I shot at 20 and 25 yards. At 25 yards it pulled a 4″ x 5″ group right of center. After wondering why I pulled right ( I always go high left when I am not on) I noticed the rear sight was off to the right. But the group itself was a chest beater. If my new/used 21 had come in any worse I would have tossed it in the creek. Me like things that go bang. It’s fun to make big holes in stuff. While not a connoisseur I do appreciate the sigp220 it ismm mmm (mine is a super macth) Much too good for a slovenly, uncivilized so and so such as I. However I also liked my G30 so much I got a second one. All three are second hand, all three work flawlessly. I was turned off.45s by a Colt officers Model’s utter unreliability. But me likes makin big holes. So I found what works for me. I also have a S&W 4506 that only makes on hole, but won’t feed reliably, workin on that right now. I guess have matured and become more patient. Just got a Governor too, what’s life without whimsy. I have had a g23, then a g19, and now a p229 in.40 s and dub. To put it into terms my friends and I brainstormed over pepsi max and goldfish (pizza flavored, b-words), “Glocks would be better than sigs if you were on the defensive, and sigs would be better for the more offensively minded ‘operators’.” For example, if you scouted a place you wished to raid, then sig all the way. You already know what to expect, and accuracy would trump capacity due to the previously established intel. Now on the other hand, if you were the defender, and unaware of what was coming and in what numbers, well then the less accurate yet higher mag capacity gun might seem preferable. But one thing is for sure, if it was a freaking beauty pageant, sig would equate to a jessica biel/miranda kerr and glock would be equivalent to a rosie o’donnell/peter from family guy/ that 100 year old lady from that tv show with all that plastic surgery, yeah you know who im talking bout. This has been a great read for me! I have both Glock and a Sig P220. I also have a variety of other weapons each chosen for it’s own attributes, personalities and “looks.” Kind of like picking out women to date, and those to marry. There may have been one or two that I might choose to “throw under the bus.” My engraved, nickel plated Colt, 1911 was produced in 1918 and shoots like a champ. I don’t shoot it much since it’s just too pretty and it’s always kept clean. My N frame, Smith & Wesson 629, 44 Mag revolver in stainless, ported rib, smithed 2 lb trigger, is the most reliable and accurate for me, handgun that I own but it is a revolver and only has 6 shots. I would only need more if I were attached by a gang of more than 6. The 629 is also a little large to stuff in my shorts! I do not want to change my gender. Many years ago I purchased a Walther PPK, stainless with a serial number that starts with 007. It is one of my favorites since I can shoot the balls off of a fly at 25 yards. However, its no good for Zombies and crack addicts. Very reliable, feeds and ejects perfectly with whatever I feed it. Then came the Glock 23, Gen 4 and the Sig, P220 Combat, TB in FDE. At the range they are 2 wonderful animals! Different and yet the same. Both feed and eject perfectly. The Sig fits “MY” hand perfectly, feels balanced, is deadly accurate, and has a sophisticated, refined level of excellence in fit and finish. It only shoots 8 or 10 rounds but hopefully that will do the job. The Glock also fits “MY” hand nicely, not perfectly, but still a favorite. I see day light when looking between the slide and the frame. It looks like a brick though a “pretty” brick. Balanced, accurate and reliable to the T! Oh, 13 rounds in case I am a “sh**ty shot or I am being attacked by a large herd. There is even a 30 round magazine floating around out there. OK, I know the Glock 23 is not a 45 ACP like the Glock 21 but it is still the “same” concept and manufacturer. The Glocks are “cheap” or maybe I should say “value priced” compared to the Sig. Let’s cut to the chase.I don’t think that can be done. The Walther PPK is incredible for a “little one.” The Smith Model 629, 44 Mag is the ultimate if I am only need a few of shots, massive knock down, kill power and “totally” unquestionable reliability. What can break? Glock 21 or 22, 23 or whatever. How can you go wrong? You can’t!!!!! I will trust my life any day of the week on one of these machines! Sig P220 or 226. My choice, hands down, without question, with my life, with the lives of others, in the salt spray, the sand, the mud or multiple zombies. Just let me have plenty of magazines. A simply great article! Your sense of humour is sublime and I had a good chucklethanks. Most modern firearms [that sell well] are pretty darn reliable as the competition for a market share is fierce. Remember, a firearm is a delivery system for a bullet. At the end of the day, we are very fortunate to have a vast selection of handguns that are so close in quality, it boils down to what you can shoot well and how much you train. No cosmic blaster can replace training and good tactics. Buy a decent piece, train with it and use the best ammo you can buy. The Glock design is a masterpiece of modern manufacturing and, perhaps, the Sig is a bit old school. Both function beautifully. Good shooting all. Came to the same conclusion when comparing the Glock 22 and the Sig P 226, in.40 S&W Glock 22 +’s. More reliable; shoots anything without malfunctions, whereas my SIG 226 has stove-piped when shooting low-cost ammo like Blazer. The G22 is somewhat more recoil ergonomic manageable, due to that low bore axis, important with a snappy round like the.40 or.357 SIG. The G22 is lighter and slightly smaller than the P226, yet it has a slightly longer barrel. The G22 is cheaper; you can almost buy 2 for the price of one P226. And finally, modularity: if you carry a Glock 27 for backup, you can use the mags from the Glock 22 in it, if someone manages to take the larger duty gun from you. The SIG P226 is more accurate, especially with high-quality ammo. The Sig has more robust, less fragile sights. The G22 is more susceptible to negligent discharges, which means anyone carrying it should be even more trigger finger management aware. The G22 has a blocky grip, which often requires a grooved sock to make it more comfortable and aesthetic. G22 precision and accuracy begins to deteriorate past 15 yds. SIG is not a modularized weapon system. Which led me to conclude that Glock is a better choice for routine self-defense situations and line officer operations, while the SIG would find it’s niche in target shooting or SWAT or other tactical situationsbut interestingly enough most SWAT units use a SA 1911 in.45 ACP. Interesting as well how the US Marshal’s and FBI and most US Police use the Glock, while Secret Service, Air Marshal’s and USCG and USN use (or have used) the SIG. I similarly compared a SIG 226 and a Glock 22 in.40 S&W. SIG minuses: two trigger pulls, more moving parts, a hammer that can snag, a slightly shorter barrel, a higher bore axis, it’s more likely to FTE in.40, it’s heavier to carry around all day, and it costs around twice as much as a Glock. Glock minuses: somewhat higher probability of ND’s, ka-booms, more jumpy in.40, takes more training and practice to get SIG level of safety and accuracy. What clinched the Glock 22 for me as a day to day duty weapon is magazine interchangability with a Glock 27 back-up gun. In a tactical situation where extremely high accuracy is called for a high end/ boutique 1911 is the ticket. I’m sure that your beautiful collections are safely tucked away in Fort Knoxian gun safes by you elite readers. I’m a utilitarian kinda guy and my Glock 21 fits my meathook hands, and needs, perfectly. I’ve never fired a Sig Sauer, but can attest to my 21’s ease at target re-acquisition – I practice by keeping (or trying to) a solid core tennis ball, really my Rottie’s chew toy, in the air for the full clip – of-course I’m never able to do it – perhaps I’ll next try a hot air balloon. I’m a retired mechanical engineer and have never liked to use phenolic composites in high stress applications – period. Ever since I owned a Mustang II V6 with a composite camshaft gear – which ran ever so quietly (but tended to disintegrate at temperatures below +20F, unless you woke up at 4AM to crank it gently and allow it to warm-up until 7:45), when I left for work. I only used them in non-critical applications. So I also have a blued-steel Ruger GP-100.357 with a 4″ barrel for whenever I’m in doubt. I bought my 21 from a wholesaler who sent it to my local, but very rural gun shop about 12 years ago, after hearing Tommy Lee Jones tell Robert Downey Jr to buy one in “US Marshalls”. Tommy Lee referenced their ability to operate in an AK-47 environment, after dropping them into really nasty goo. I like that feature. While I care for my firearms, I’m not a fanatic about it. I clean ’em after I shoot ’em and hose them down with a good gun oil whenever I remember to between ball-killing sessions. I rarely shoot my Ruger as all of my Lumbar disks have danced their last dance. As twisting is painful, I like my 21 because it expends most of its recoil energy in chambering the next round – it’s a comfortable AND FUN pistol to shoot. I bought mine about 12 years ago, and even though I’m a GA native, I’m glad mine was made in Austria. I’m sure the Glock plant in Smyrna, GA, phased in the 21 frame after the more preferred calibers and frame sizes were up and running, and with all new production kinks (that invariably occur) worked out. I read the accuracy reports and can only say that the wallop of a 230 gr.45 caliber bullet will cause the aggressor to have second thoughts even if I’ve missed my primary target by 4″ at 25 yards, especially with him knowing that my DAWG has 12 more bites left in her before I bring in the reserves. At 5 yards, if you can’t hit an aggressor anywhere, I’d consider a different method of self preservation. The story about why Police Officers were issued.38s, instead of.45s, is that if you are hit by a.38 in the shoulder, leg or arm, it would cause a perp to become very compliant and cease his hostilities. The.45 would disarm him, literally. Colt.357 Pythons were issued to State Troopers Nationwide and to some Sheriff’s Deputies, as help might be some time in coming. Collateral damage is also a major concern – apartment walls are made from recycled something-or-other, and supplied by the Chinese – incapable of stopping even the sickliest housefly. In today’s world of ultra-violent urban conflicts between Law Enforcement and the Bad Guys, I’d want the sex appeal that Ma Deuce provides (me and Sly Stallone), when i drape the cartridge belt over my shoulder as I step out of the SWAT-mobile. The last thing I have to say, finally, is that while I’m an ardent supporter of our Second Amendment liberties, we, as responsible gun owners MUST do everything in our power to stop the random an mindless assassination of our Children and Grandchildren while they are in their classrooms, or merely walking down the street. I don’t give a rat’s behind if those involved in gun thuggery kill off each other at a rate so high as to have ZPG become a reality. But to save the lives of the innocent is a sacred trust was given to us by whichever higher power we as individuals answer to. Thanks for giving me the platform from which I can talk about the Glock.45ACP Frame 21 that was made specifically for me, and of the responsibilities we must assume as gun owners. It is our RIGHT to bear arms; it is our DUTY to ensure that that Right is not abused. Regards to all. Alright, I was really interested in the article, so I read on. I must say that if the sights were off on the SIG then the accuracy test wasn’t all that. I did some trade work for a retired Deputy for a SIG P220 with the intent on trading it in for a 1911 Until I shot it. I bought the dirtiest nastiest ammo I could find, TulAmmo 230 grain. I wanted to see how it performed with crap ammo and see how well it shot. I was skeptical mainly because of the bore alignment to the tang didn’t seem like target reacquisition would be that great since the recoil would appear to be absorbed by the upward motion and not in a straight line through the radial. Anywho, I set up some 1 gallon water jugs at 25 yards and aimed center mass hitting my targets with ease. Sight alignment was nice and the trigger just blew me away. My brother asked to shoot it so I loaded up all the mags and handed it over. He went one handed, aimed and started popping of the blue caps from the jugs! When he finished, I was just standing there in awe at what I just seen. I had to know how accurate this thing was so I set up pie plates at 50 yards and unloaded each mag in 3 seconds and managed to hit the pie plates approximately 75% of the time; You should have seen the fish I caught earlier that day to (yeah, I might be stretching it a bit but the thing is accurate). I never really cared for Glock as the angle of the grip forces me to push the gun further down than what I’m used to. While pushing the outward from my chest from “MY” natural stance the barrel to target alignment is too high for me; I’m sure with practice it could work but then if in a pinch I switched platforms it wouldn’t be optimal. My point is this, each operator becomes proficient with their own tools and with what they are most comfortable with. It’s like martial arts, which one is better? It’s not the art that makes it good but the practitioner who masters it. I own a Glock 9mm which was my LE duty weapon for 4 years. I haven’t been a PO For 14 years so I didn’t need another hand gun.but I really wanted one. I have always wanted a Sig.45 p220 because I’ve shot them before and they fit my smaller (female) hands so after getting my taxes back I decided to treat myself and bought the Sig, brand new, on sale for $739. I shot over 200 rounds today and fell in love. I realize the difference in caliber, heaviness yada yada but without dissing the Glock (too much), the Sig would be the overwhelming choice for me. You get what you pay forspend the extra cash. Well said, Ceapea! I imagine if any of us were surrounded by hostiles, aiming to whack off our heads, we wouldn’t be persnickety about which one we’d pick up and start letting the big bore bark. Chances are, we’d have our hands on both of them and shot whichever was closest to our target. But I do have a question for all of your pistol strummers – does the.45 Colt have more powder than the.45 ACP? I guess I could look it up – I’ve been intending to actually, but while in the midst of a bunch of aficionados, it’s easier just to ask you. Navy Seals also eat MRE’s, but I prefer Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse for my meals. All kidding aside, most specialty teams and special operators use tools specific for the job. The rest of the shooting population uses a different benchmark for acceptable tolerances when it comes to choosing a sidearm. Any military application of a sidearm is going to be utilized in combination with a main battle rifle (or equivalent). If your use of a pistol is completely secondary to your rifle/smg/shotgun, then look at what those military/paramilitary units carry. If you are a civilian firearms enthusiast and typically carry for protection, the Glock makes an excellent choice. I love the Sig and I love the Glock, just use them for slightly different needs;). Glocks work period, that’s why I have several for 20+ years. I have carried for 43 years and seen every gun come and go except for Glock. The reason being they are reliable and run forever. 1911’s are for show and competition not for Duty guns. You need a polymer hi capacity 9mm or 40 for that period. The two that got popular were the first two to flood the market, Glock and M&P. The rest are playing catch up since it wasn’t just a fad. Now you have Sig and H&K, a little late to the race, making Striker fired guns, doesn’t that tell you something? Every manufacturer is trying to play catch up to glock, including the premium priced Sig and H$K, Walther, Ruger and anyone else who missed the first boat. Military and LEO, want hi cap, lightweight, reliable guns that can shoot all day without a Failure to feed or fire. It’s that simple. Hi Wills It sounded like you are putting the Glock 21 in the same categories as just another Saturday Night Special. It is not, plain and simple. By your rating standard, so is the AK-47. The AK-47 has the distinction of being considered the most lethal firearm on the planet, but not because of it’s elegance – it is a mud ugly weapon. It is so crudely made that you can dump the parts of 10 working 47s (manufactured at 10 different sites) into a bucket, stir them really well, then pull the parts out randomly and re-assemble 10 working 47s. Infiltrate an enemy’s camp through a gooey bog, and it will come out shooting. That’s what makes it the standard terrorist weapon – not because of it’s balance or aesthetics. But you are playing with a marked deck by saying “If you want a.45, just buy a Colt 1911.” When I bought mine, I could afford the Glock, but couldn’t afford the Colt. My Glock 21 was among the last few made in Austria, but that doesn’t imply that it’s better than any of those manufactured in Smyrna, GA. It has nearly twice the magazine capacity of the Colt, and costs 25% of it’s USA counterpart. But only costing 1/4 as much as the Colt doesn’t affect its dependability, or its lethality. Of course I’d like to have the legendary Colt.45 ACP as the center piece of my collection of what would be a 3-piece arsenal; the two.45s and a Ruger.357. Neither of them would be classified as a Saturday Night Special, IMHO. There was a comment towards the top that talked about limp wristed shooters. For some reason my wife can’t shoot an automatic. She does not have the strength. So she carries a revolver for her protection. The point I wanted to make was, when she shot my G21 Gen4 it jammed on her because of her light grip. She fires my Colt 1911 and it fires perfect every time. She gets the biggest smile on her face from the power and feel of the gun. So I think there is something to be said about the “tired, old” 1911. It shoots when you pull the trigger. I carry my Glock in the winter because it weighs less and I have no issues with jams. My summer carry is the Glock 36 which also shoots very nicely. A little late to the discussion, but I’d like to add something. I’ve owned 1911s (Colt, STI, RIA, Kimber, Remington), Glocks (G21 & G23), Sigs (P2022, P226, and P229), and fired other Glocks and Sigs. I think there are many good arguments here about the merits of each weapon (ie weight of the glock for the specops operators, the outdated factor of the 1911 coupled with the tools needed to break it down etc). I am not a specop operator who has so much necessary gear that every ounce matters. I am a civilian who carries concealed every day, and shoots for leisure and to keep my familiarity. What matters most to me are the factors which my life depends on: reliability, accuracy, magazine capacity, and concealability (is that a word)? That is why I carry a an STI 2011 Edge. It is the modern version of the 1911, and the only tool I need to take the slide completely apart is a paperclip. It holds 12 rounds (with the double stack magazine I use), shoots tighter groups at 25 yards than any Glock, Sig, or 1911 I have ever fired, and has little recoil due to the weight. It is extremely reliable, but it definitely is heavier and bigger than what most people would consider an ideal carry weapon. The.45 is still my favorite CCW round due to its tendency to not overpenetrate compared to some other popular calibers. If you are looking for a good service weapon, an every day carry, or a concealed carry if you have the right body type, consider a 2011.45 pistol. I find them superior to 1911s and their modern competition. I own a kimber tactical HD, which is my safe queen, and I love it but I wouldn’t use it for CCW. I own three p220’s (a combat, a carry Equinox and a regular carry which I carry IWB) the reason I chose the SIG over a G21, which I was considering when I bought my first P220, was the grips. My hands aren’t small but they aren’t oven mitts either, I couldn’t get a good purchase on the glocks grips, where the sig fit like a glove. I have nothing against glocks I plan on buying a G43 in the next few months, but for a.45 I would choose the P220 all day. I also find myself extremely accurate with the SIG compared to the G21 which I think for me is due to the trigger on the SIg being more to my liking. • 1994–2000 • 2007–2008 • 2012 Labels Website Past members • • • • • The Spice Girls were an English pop formed in 1994.

The phrase itself had also appeared in a few songs by British girl groups and bands since at least 1987; most notably, it was the name of British pop duo 's 1996 single and album, later credited by Halliwell as the inspiration for the Spice Girls' mantra.
