Test Fitting Some Weapons

One thing for certain with a Glock, parts are available everywhere and lots o used ones out there. Personally I don't like Glock as they feel like I'm holding a 2X4 in my hand. XD line feels much better. Glocks are well made and accurate, however for a carry gun I myself like a thumb safety.

Yeah I"m not a big GLocker but I have a model 29 in 10MM carry
for on the bike, what I like

1) It's 10mm
2) If I drop it, it's a glock so what
3) its 10mm
4) it goes bang
5) did I mention, it's 10mm
6)Ghost Trigger connector smoothed out pull
5) oh yeah It's 10MM

JB would do well to pick up a used glock 19 for home and range
and a G26 for carry, BTW the 17 is the FS glock, the 19 is the compact

If he really wants to have a 45 then get a G30 or G36 for carry
and a G21 for range/home defense, for under a grand he could have
both...

From what I was picking up from what JB was saying he likes the 45 cal and was concerned about lack of safeties on some pistols. He may come on here and say something totally different, yea know him.

Yep,

my take on safety is that it can be as much a help as a hindrance,
you need to remember to set it so you don't pull the trigger on an SA like
a 1911 if you carry condition 1 or cocked and locked which is the way you
should carry.

If you don't you risk having a carry ready to fire with a light trigger.
if you do put the safety on, now you have one more thing to put into
your motion to remember to unlatch the safety, and in a fight stuff
moves quick, while you unlock the safety the bad guy pulls the trigger
on a glock, you better be bringing it up and clicking it off on the way
up and that takes practice.

a DAO gun like glock, walther ppq, sig's p series, are loaded, there is a
round in the chamber but it's not going to fire until you pull back the trigger, you don't need that extra safety, it's in the way, JMO...

Even though I carry a P938 with a safety, go figure...

That Springfield is a really nice gun but remember its 37 ounces so not a light weight firearm for concealed carry, especially in the hot summer months. But, each to their own. I have a really nice Sig compact 3 inch 1911 45 cal but not great for summer carry. I actually much prefer a Polymer pistol for carry due to weight issues. The new XDS Springfield 45 is a good carry gun but yes, it's Polymer.

Check out the two below, full metal, meets that requirement
one is a 1911 compact carry, both FLHT and I have this gun, it's a thin
full metal 1911 carry very accurate, night sights and can be had with CT laser.

the other is Sigs P220 carry, the smaller version of the P220 45, it's advantage is
it's battle proven, thin (not real thin it's a 45) and has DA/SA, meaning the gun
is loaded, a round put into the chamber and then the decocker is pressed lowering the hammer. From that point it's harness and carry, no safety to turn off. First pull is DA long smooth about 10 pounds, that's the safety you can't just turn off a safety and have a 4 pound trigger that's easy to press.
Once you fire the first DA round it goes SA for every shot after at 4.4 pounds, same as a 1911. Advantage, no safety, full DA pull and round in the barrel..


One is a 1911 Sig C3


Other is P220 Carry

I really like that Sig C3 its a very sweet short 1911 but pricey.

Blue jean shorts that's a scary thought :roflmao:

i dunnow whats wurse, CB in jorts
or HarleysLR thinkin of him in daisy dukes.... :roflmao::roflmao:

God I'll be glad when Spring and Summer return, :roflmao:

Yeah it's here, I've had a sinus infection for two days, daughter has it as well with touch of bronchitis, got mine working in yard clearing out leaves from under some older shrubs
I'm removing. fugging pollen is bad, my black truck looks yellow...

Wen spring hits here the Douglas Fir trees which are native to the Pacific Northwest put out a yellow pollen. My poor Blue Dodge pickup turns yellow and the stuff is like cement when it dries. Pretty trees though but what a mess they can be.
