shaneman153a 39 Posted August 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 (edited) Shane, get serious and get a Glock. I know it's a pain to learn how to shoot them DAO if you are a 1911 guy, I went through that myself. Funny Steve, I was catching up on this post and thinking to myself "maybe I should go check out Steve's compact Glock again" and then you said that!! I told you I like the compact one with a hogue grip, but the angle would have to change and the trigger would have to go! Shane ps - Robar is a cool site, I'll keep browsing. Trouble is, once it's tolerable, it'll be 900 dollars. Edited August 25, 2007 by shaneman153a Quote Link to post Share on other sites
busy_squirrel 1 Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 I didn't see this before: i don't carry because i feel i am too immature to carry one... too hot headed Props to you for knowing enough about yourself to be safe. I used to be the same way, but I mellowed with time. After alot of thinking, and about ten years, I finally said "Screw it, I gotta grow up, and learn patience someday!" so I started carrying. It's amazing how much less aggresive you tend to be when you have the capability to "take it all the way". It's kinda like the difference between no limit poker and limit poker. In no limit, you get out each hand as soon as you realize that you don't want to go all-in. You'll be ready when you're ready, no rush. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

greatmoose 4 Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 I know some consider it underpowered, but I carry a CZ-83 in 9mm Kurz. Most accurate pistol I've ever shot, and it FEELS right. Also goes bang, EVERY time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Zebra 0 Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 there much of a difference between 10mm and .40s&w i will say that hardcore 10mm supporters refer to the .40s&w as the ".40 short and weak" and it was too much recoil for the FBI's tastes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paladin 37 Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 (edited) I carried a GLOCK 27 for the last 2 years, it felt small and light at first. But it got heavier. I wear t-shirts and light shorts in the summer and on my build (6' 190lbs) it printed. I just switched to a P3AT and WOW-it's totally comfortable bending, sitting down, etc. It is not noticeable even if I tell you I'm carrying. Added a clip and a +1 mag extension. Took some fluffing and buffing to get it reliable but well worth the effort. 380acp is the min. cal. to penetrate 12" of gelatin and I hedge my bet by loading up with 8 rds of Cor-bon DPX. I did feel bad about putting the G27 away, so I went out and bought a G35! :wub: Edited October 28, 2007 by Paladin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I, too, use the Cor-Bon DPX. I found that the 1+ tended to cause the mag to "drop itself" from the gun occasionally, so I took it off. I use a left-hand clip and keep it small-of-back frequently (for right-hand draw). Or, a "sticky-side-out" soft pocket holster, that completely eliminates any printing. Made a "note to self"...."Don't try to fire 250 rounds through each of both P3AT's again (mine and the wife's) in one range visit" 'cause the huge blister on the top of my right index knuckle took a week to heal....

Respectfully posted, guido2 in Houston I just installed the +1 ext. so I'll have to see how it does. I'm thinking it will help me hang on to the little bugger doing double taps. I've got the same kind of holster (great minds think alike?) But I usually just tuck it in the front. I can draw very quickly from there. And yes, not the weapon for extended range time! Have you tried the trigger shoe? with the heavy trigger I felt it to be more comfortable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

busy_squirrel 1 Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 there much of a difference between 10mm and .40s&w Simplified answer is max powder behind the bullet. I've been carrying my Kimber Ultra Carry II for six weeks or so, )the 4013 needed warranty work). It's a little bit wider, but I've been paranoid about wear since I intend for the 1911 to be an heirloom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JHP 500rds. $239.95 10mm 200gr. JHP Controlled Expansion 500rds. $254.95 That's only .03/round. I also have a .40 S&W barrel for my Glock 20 so I can shoot .40 anytime I want. Back in my wheelgun days I always had a .357 mag for the house and a .38 spcl. snubbie for the road, it's too bad I switched to autos before they came out with j-frame .357 mags. Now I go with a 10mm Glock 20 and .40 S&W Glock 27. Same sort of thing, I just have to do a quick barrel swap whereas my .357 mag will eat .38 spcl. as is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My buddy's got a G20 and he'll never go shooting because of the cost of ammo. Here locally it's a PITA to find 10mm let alone range ammo that you can afford to practice with.

Just a barrel, everything else remains the same including the magazine and recoil spring. You can get an excellent quality Lone Wolf conversion barrel for $100. I got the dual port extended barrel but you can get stock length or even six-inch if you want. http://www.lonewolfdist.com/Products.aspx?CAT=241 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
