...do it, it's fun. I put a hundred rounds through a Glock 17 today at a local gun club I joined- had an absolute ball. Wonderful little pistol to shoot. It's the best fun you can have with your hands. It even beats fapping.

I was shooting it in 9mm. Eventually I'll move up to 9; a glock in .40SW is what my local police force carries, and that's my career goal. I'd like to be proficient with the gun before I join. Besides, shooting is fun. :D

I'm not really a glock fan myself. I like the feel of my Colt .45 better. It's a Commander, so it's really light and therefore feels like a cannon even for an automatic. Very fun.

Meh for the Berrettas. I can shoot pretty darn good with my dad's 40 S&W Berretta, but there are two drawbacks to it-

It's unbalanced. Even with the bulky clip in it the recoil is pretty heavy for an auto. Definately go with a 9mm if you buy a Berretta.

Secondly, I can dissasemble it while it's still in your hand in a couple of seconds. Alot of cops won't carry it because of that. Push a button, pull a swith, voila the frame pops off and you're left standing with a plastic grip and no frame or bullet. Always nice.

ROFL. You think you can do that, eh? You think anyone trained in its use will GIVE you a couple of seconds?


As a police officer, is a suspect attempts to disarm you, you plug him; it's that simple.

I get your point, but I wasn't talking about officers I was talking about the gun itself.

Don't laugh until you've tried it though-it's easier than you think. A couple of seconds is all it takes-bear in mind I said if you put it in my face, I could pull it apart. Very simple. One button and off the slide goes.  Now from five or ten feet off that's different, but point blank the slide's coming off. Most officers don't get that close anyway, so it's really just a non-issue. Really it was just an observation, not a brag.

Ive shot 2, the smallest one and the 21 or something like that, friends dad is a officer and he had a birthday party at the county range, fun fun. Shooting .223 tracers through his dads AR swat gun was quite a blast. But Im a kimber .45 ACP man, those......are awesome.

I had a Glock 9mm, and didn't really like it, the trigger pull is so heavy it seemed that by the time you squeeze the trigger enough to fire it you aren't as accurate. I am more of a revolver type of guy though, I have a S&W .357 Magnum and love it.

The trigger on the glock was heavy- I noticed that; it's not got a hammer, so calling it a double action would be technically incorrect, but it's similar. All the safety is built into the trigger mech.

The glock can be fired with serious accuracy by a highly proficient pistol user, so I won't go blaming the gun for why my marksmanship was mediocre at best. The relatively heavy trigger (which still doesn't hold a candle to a service rifle) didn't really bother me much.

I've never shot a handgun, but I've shot my fair share of rifles and am a pretty good shot.

My rents want to pay for gun lessons for me so I can handle a handgun well since I'm going to college for criminal justice.

A handgun is a whole new ballgame. I'm a damned good rifle shot, but I'll only call myself proficient with a pistol. Shooting a pistol well is HARD.
