You probably messed with a 36 like mine. I get a ton of complaints about the grip..my dad hates it. For a guy my size, I have total lady hands, so it fits me like a glove. Here's my gun with and without the magazine extension, PS3 controller dropped in for size comparison- |

I was playing around with a Glock last week... I want to say it was a 30 something, compact model in mens (.45 ACP) caliber. I honest to god could not find a comfortable grip using two hands on the thing.

I actually shot a DOA SIG fairly well. it takes some getting used to. The reset on the DA/SA sucks. I like everything else about SIG, but the trigger pull is important to me. The short-reset trigger group might make a big difference, but I wouldn't know. Pistol shooting is a totally different animal than rifle, and improve your rifle skills as well. I haven't belonged to a gun club in ages, i miss having to actually make wind-calls to shoot rifle. Name of the game has been practical hunting ranges and skills lately.

Oddly enough, it's the trigger that makes me love my Glock. Both Glocks and Springfield XD's have a great feel to me.
The only DAO gun I've ever owned was a Sig, and I absolutely detested it. The trigger pull was so bad it was offputting...a Fort Worth PD officer tried to teach me how to pull it properly, but I eventually just swapped it for my H&K and never looked back. That's no diss to Sigs of course, I wouldn't mind owning a real one, but the DAO variety just didn't appeal to me at all.

no im not a tatto artist. i just needed a little spending cash while i was unemployed for 2 weeks, and wanted to get rid of one of my high end assault rifles. so i walked into a gun store with it and planned on just selling it, but i can never just walk out of a gun store without getting something new. so i took a trade and some money. |

"a totally obtuse DA pistol" This is what a Glock feels like to me. I can still squeeze off rounds fast with one. It's just a totally bizarre feeling to pull a Glock trigger. Edited by Lightningbolt - 22 December 2011 at 4:41pm |

Then get the M&P.
Personal preference will be a biggie, but if you are wanting something to fight with, the Glock is hard to beat. Generally speaking the trigger pull on a combat handgun will be more than the weight of the gun. They are all pretty much horrid. Honestly I can't tell the difference between most pistol triggers. Unless it is a totally obtuse DA pistol, or a custom SA trigger they all pretty much do what I'm expecting. Especially if you run the gun on trigger reset.

I gotta say that I hated my Glock, something about the plastic doesn't inspire confidence for me. My CZ, now thats a gun I can put rounds on target with. The grip is natural feeling in my hand, and with one hand I can reach all of the controls, which is something I look for when I'm playing with a new pistol.
Also, the Glock Safety Action feels absolutely terrible to me.

I don't like the grip angle of a glock... It points up when I aim it. (personal preference thing)
I love my S&W sw9ve sigma. For me it is perfect, and very accurate. For the money it just can't be beat. but the handle is too long for it to be a daily carry for me... I got it for $225 with 4 high capacity magazines back when it came out... (they had a $50 rebate, and included a card for 2 extra magazines with purchase.) I've put over 600 rounds through it so far, easy to clean, and no safety to mess with. Trigger pull is a little much, but if you shoot pistols a lot, it isn't a big deal.

Basically you can contribute to any pistol discussion by saying Glock > everything. Maybe M&P > Glock > everything. Especially when it comes to cops and civilians who aren't limited by FMJ only. Heck even in many military situations 9x19mm > any other pistol caliber. Mainly because all pistol calibers suck, and you can generally shoot better with the 9x19mm. Glocks are the AK's of handguns, without the accuracy drawback. Hell even AK's don't have much of an accuracy drawback, unless you comparing it to long range custom AR's. But then the Glock will lose to custom tuned handguns as well. But like the AK it'll keep on ticking no matter what. The M&P, except for a few teething issues, is basically a Glock with a nice grip..... KBK |

I'm still determined to buy myself a really nice rifle. Something along the FNAR/m1a/EBR lines.

One of my favorite rifles to shoot is my MKIII .303 Enfield. She did survive the flood, it was one of the ones in the gun cabinet. After a bit of cleanup, you can't tell that it was covered from stem to stern in mud and silt. Those military rifles are awesome like that.
My .22 is a savage that I bought years ago. It had the cheap wal-mart scope on it, but if I could see it, I could hit it. I just threw away the scope because it too was in the flood. I have cleaned the rifle and am going to put some test rounds through it when it gets warm again to make sure that its still shooting well. All of the barrels were plugged with mud. My kingpin to my small collection though, is my M1. I bought it as a shooter for $500. it's a CVI. That one was not in the flood, and remained safe with me at our place while its bretherin took a beating. I have practically 0 experience with pistols at this point. With NY's gun laws bordering on absolute violations of the 2nd amendment, lack of time and money, I have still not got my pistol permit. That's in the works for the spring though. I feel a little less of a man for not having much of a clue what the rest of you guys are talking about in your pistol threads...I'm only a half step above "NEED ME A DESERT EAGLE LOL" I think. |

Lol, it is in the Enfield family. My dad is unsure which model and I've never seen it in person, but it is WWII era. Yes, I get jealous that in some places in the States, all you need is a valid drivers license and a nice AR-15 can be yours. (AK-47 and all variants of it are also prohibited) |

Rofl: What .303? I am not familiar with any Commonwealth weapons in .303 other than the Enfield family.
...or move back to the United States

From my personal experience, I bought one of their HK G3 knock offs with a Hesse receiver many years ago. It worked, nearly flawlessly, but I couldn't hit the paper at 100 yards with out aiming off the paper approx, 2 feet low and right. You are looking at an AK variant, it's an AK, it ain't supposed to hit anything smaller than a man at 200 yards. It just has to work! I kid! I had the WUM-1 years ago, I liked it. I only paid maybe $300, new and unfired. I found this on my first google search http://www.atlanticfirearms.com/storeproduct765.aspx Edited by Ceesman762 - 21 December 2011 at 7:24pm |
