9mm suggestions...

Custom made 1911, I know a good guy that builds them

Whats funny is I really don't like shooting handguns compared to any riffles--I would rather get a nice protection device and spent $$ on another riffle.

I refuse to be a victim if I can help it :cool:

 

[wentz912]

I see what you

Also the Sigs fit my big wide german hands with short fingers perfectly. Most of the popular models are also available in SA/DA. With the decocker you can carry the first round in the tube with a heavier double action pull, and the subsequent rounds are all at outstanding Sig single action.

What's your asking price?

My choice is buy one of everything..
I love my 1911!!!
But I still daily carry my Glock. It works for me.it is lite,and durable. I am moving fast sometimes,and dropping on the ground( cars don't slow down when you are on the roadside hooking up).and my Glock(my opinion) has handled it. I forget its there sometimes(litewieght). my Glock works every time I use it. mine is comfortable to me..I carry the gen3 23 .40
My roommate has a ruger 9mm . Nice gun but just not that comfy to me.

It's safe with a heavy-ish trigger pull on the first round, since it doesn't have a safety, light enough to be very usable after that.

I have dropped a Glock in mud, and gravel .Then picked it up and shot it.
I worked at a gunshop of my bro-in-laws for a while about 20 yrs ago. We had a prodeal with Glock that stated we did not clean the firearms they lent to us for our indoor range rentals.
Never cleaned. We utilized FMJ only.
I shot the model 21 .45 in scenario shooting trials, and never had a "gun" problem. It was always user error.


I currently like my model 22 40cal. It is second generation beauty.Was a LE firearm that I picked up used.It had been taken to the local Glock shoot every year , and had its small parts replaced for free, as well as being inspected by Glock factory Armorers.

It shoots straight as an arrow. It has Trijicon night sights on it. It's sexy overall.

I believe in these pistols because I have seen them through hard use, Have friends(that shoot semi-pro) that have not cleaned them for thousands and thousands of rounds, and never heard of one failing in an emergency.

That being said, Carry pistols are like shoes. If they do not fit
YOU, you are not going to want to wear them.....

Pick up a bunch of 9's.Which one fits your abnormally large hands?
:fawkdancesmiley:, and is small enough for you to want to carry.
cheers

They are all great guns. Buddy Has a XD9 and Sig 226 and after shooting both i would pick the xd9 over the sig anyday. I would really like to get a full size MP9 though.

Just got done blazing away with my M&P and my XDM today.

The hippies in the woods sure don't like it when you are shooting in a perfectly safe, perfectly legal area.

They sure are timid when they approach you to let you know they don't like it. :D

So what did you say to them?

 

[KarlVP]

So what did you say to them?

I was very respectful. I stopped shooting when they approached me, put my guns on the hood of the car, stepped away (from the guns and the car) and engaged them.

They told me "you can't shoot here". I was respectful and replied that I could and I was within the law of the USFS. They left in a huff.

The second group (guy and girl) parked while I was shooting and asked if it was okay to shoot there. I replied that it was. The guy puffed up and said that it wasn't and he knew the rules. I didn't have any weapons in hand and I sheepishly replied that he should talk to the USFS rangers if he had a problem with me shooting where I was.

I waited for them to leave (let them get about 5min away on their hike) then did a couple mag dumps, cleaned up my targets and left.

Where at? Only place I know of is at the top of jacks pass (and perfectly legal per rangers)..

Giving away my secret locations? Me thinks not so much.

They are perfectly legal to shoot at though. I asked at the Skykomish Ranger Station. :awesomework:

all goes back to the Vet conversation :haha:

 

[Rix]

Mike, if you get down to Tacoma I can let you borrow all my 9s.
Ruger sr9 and p89
Steyr m9
Walther p99 and p38
Browning hi power
Or any other of the non 9mms you'd want to try.

 

[crash2]

Thanks for all the input guys--really appreciate it..

Went and picked this up today and just got back from throwing a few rounds thru it and I am not one bit upset with my purchase..

I now just gotta get a better holster but the one I have is good enough for open carry..

 

[monstaru]

Nice firearm for sure.:cool:

 

[jruz]

Can't go wrong with a Springfield. :awesomework:

 

[hlb3]

Great choice.

 

[KarlVP]

Nice find.

May I reccomend the crossbreed supertuck.

I carry my XDm. Under a t-shirt and it conceals nicely.

There is a fullsize pistol in this photo. Carried at about 3 o clock. In a crossbreed supertuck :awesomework:

 

[KarlVP]

You can kind of see it in this photo, but it doesn't print at all.

Word to the wise - they take a lot longer to receive than the typical off-the-shelf variety. I ordered mine on the 4th and likely won't receive it for another 2-4 weeks.

I hear they are worth it though... :redneck:

 

[crash2]

a what......

 

[nickb]

You will not be disappointed with that gun. And I doubt you will but if you ever have any issues call Springfield and they will take care of it.
