I wasn't sure if this type of gun talk was cool topic but I'm glad you brought it up. What do you think of Glock, some gun owners consider it a tupaware pistol but I'm impressed with it. Also I don't think that Smith & Wesson gets the respect that it should, they make some fine a*s revolvers. I love that new model 340 it's a 5 shot 357/38+p and only weighing in at 12 ounces.
Gun talk is encouraged on GotApex?.
Glock- People seem to like them, I don't. They are too boxy and not ergonomic enough for me.
S&W- I don't know who is badmouthing them. Smith makes the best revolvers in the world. Granted they are hella expensive for revolvers but the quality is there.
I have a Glock 19 and love it. Granted Glocks aren't for everyone especially whose with small hands, but it fits me perfectly. It's the most low maintenance gun I have.Originally posted by TERRIBLETOM

I have to say they are the easiest to clean.Originally posted by Leon

I'm not saying that Smith & Wesson was bad mouthed I just don't think they get the respect that they should, The revolvers are pricey but I think it's due to the hi-tech alloy's that they are using now. Your best bet is to try and hook up with one at a gun show. That's what I'm hoping to do in March.
excuse my ignorance, but that looks like a pistol grip to me... what other kind of handle would you put on a weapon such as thatOriginally posted by Cantacuzene

Thats a pistol rear grip. I get a pistol fore grip next week. Fore grips go on the slide. I can't really use the gun without one right now because my hands are too big for the slide now. I burn myself when I fire it holding it that way, so I need the pistol fore grip.
Not to mention pistol fore grips look badass.
In his statement he said "pistol fore grip" which means it is a replacement pistol grip for the forward slide grip...Originally posted by Nija

ok, totally glossed over the fore part of his statement.
thanks for clair-ifying
Pardon my igonrance . . . but why exactly do you need a shotgun with a grip like that? Would that actually be used for hunting? I would think if you were going to use it for hunting and needed any amount of accuracy, you would need a butt on that gun to stabilize against your shoulder.
I used to be into sadism, necrophilia and beastiality, but then I realized I was just beating a dead horse
I use it for drive by shootings.
A pistol grip shot gun is probably one of your better home defence weapons, all you really need to do is point it in the general direction of your attacker.
Speaking of the S&W's...my uncle just bought a S&W stainless steel .40 pistol for my cousin in the Marines. It's awe inspiring! I'm dying for a Desert Eagle .50
Desert Eagles are useless IMHO.
true - but they look badassOriginally posted by Cantacuzene

i have become comfortably numb......
I like glock, but the whole issue of the missing safety bothers me. I just don't think any gun should come without a safety these days...not that I ever really trust the safety that much, but some is better than none...

Cantacuzene is so badass
It all depends what you consider a safety, for example on the S&W there is a safety lever that when it is in the safe position you can pull the trigger and nothing should happen, but remember this if you have no intention of firing the weapon your finger shouldn't be on the trigger to begin with. On a Glock they have what they call a "safe action system" Within the trigger itself there is an additional lever that must be depressed before trigger travel can be accomplished and with in that two other safety mechanisms within it that have to be activated before the internal hammer is allowed to hit the primmer. They say you can drop a loaded Glock from a plane and it will not go off, the trigger has to be physically pulled.Originally posted by ProMinx

My Taurus pistol has a traditional safety and a key operated lock built into the slide. Its extremely safe in a house with kids. Well, as safe as any gun can be in a house with kids.
Yer damn right.Originally posted by nickelback

My Walther is the same way, It's good for when storing it. For the others I use combination trigger lock.Originally posted by Cantacuzene

Do any of you have a LTC, and if you do what is your holster of preference. I think I have pissed away some change just looking for the right one, I've tried ankle holsters but you have to wear damn bell bottoms just to conceal them there. Then I went to a shoulder holster and after a while those straps get to be a nuisance. I looked at those in the pants waist holsters but I'm not into buying my pants two sized bigger just for that. I finally settled with a paddle holster with a thumb break. Another issue is leather, nylon or plastic, I personally like the nylon.
I've tried a lot of holsters trying to find one that is comfortable enough for regular use. For an In-the-Waistband holster, I prefer the designs by Milt Sparks, Galco and Kramer. I really like the Kramer stuff because it is horsehide, rather than cowhide, and holds its shape and wears better.Originally posted by TERRIBLETOM

My all-time favorite carry holster, however, is the Bianchi PDQ. It is a high rise, open front scabbard type with a thumb break. Very secure, very comfortable, very concealable with a short jacket or shirt, yet very quick to draw due to the open front design. I've tried shoulder holsters, but I find them cumbersome (not to mention expensive). For my Glock 22 I prefer a Kydex holster (a sort of black thermoplastic, similar to the frame of the Glock), in a Yaqui Slide configuration, which is like a regular holster with the bottom cut out.
It took me a long time to join the Glock "bandwagon", preferring my S&W's, Ruger's and Sigs to the "plastic pistol". Having spent a lot of time shooting the Glock, however, I have come to believe that it has no equal for a carry gun in terms of price, magazine capacity, accuracy, and ergonomics (flat sided=nice to carry
I had my eye on a sig for a while, but my wife will not allow any guns in the house (except for the rifles I already have that are locked up tight and hidden away). I have a Remington 11-87 12 ga. auto that is the special left-handed version (I shoot southpaw). I also have a Ruger 10/22
In case you were wondering, yes I do clean & cook everything I shoot including pheasant, duck, goose, dove and jackrabbit.
I think over again
My small adventures, my fears.
The small ones that seemed so big,
For all the vital things I had to get and to reach.
And yet there is only one great thing, the only thing:
To live to see the great day that dawns,
And the light that fills the world.
