Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Educate me, carry pistol.

Lasers are great until they aren't.

Which is 90% of the time.

Don't bother.

UBER-DUBER???

Improving on awesome is always.... awesome.

I need reasons.

Ability to see is largely dependent upon time of day, lighting in the room, and color of your intended target.






Travis

And no, that wasn't a black joke.

I'm referring to clothing.

The Lazer can aid in speeding up accurate fire at small targets. For ccw the range is typically short and one can damn near point shoot and get center mass hits. Also to9 many folks start to rely on the dot and never practice with their irons thus when the Lazer goes TU they can't hit shcitt.

I have ever a few due to super good deals but I do not rely on them except for shooting for fun.


Yes Deflave the Apex is smooth and feels like a well lubed womens........ well you know.

All true; and you'll develop the bad habit of dicking around looking for a dot, when you ought to be pointing and shooting.

Bicycle?




Travis

Front sight.

Can I ask why you have an aversion to revolvers?





Dave

Not to mention it gives your opponent an aiming point...

Hunting them in the dark freaks them out pretty good.

I have carried the P229 and G19 quite a bit. I prefer the G19 because its lighter and thinner. Magazines are cheaper and are easy to find. The G19 is striker fired and will have the same trigger pull each time. Standard P229s are double action/single action. This isn't a big deal if you train with it, but why bother?

I carried an issued G22 until I could afford a Sig P226. Same controls as a G19 vs P229. I learned to shoot the P226 well and I still have it, but I also went back to the G22 as a duty weapon. As a fighting handgun, its really hard to beat.

No expert but here are my choices in 9mm,Glock 43,S&W shield,CZ 75D PCR compact.

I've owned a few, and just not looking for a revolver at this time,

although I do understand there are some handy little compact revolvers out there for ccw.

I got a Colt 25 acp that isn't ugly.....

If this is in response to your riots, and you're only now feeling its time to arm, and you are not a pistol person, then "trendy" isn't what you want.

You aren't buying to brag about your pistol - you're buying to get something you can carry every freaking day, that works.

Since you are far from a pistol guru, then a single stack 9mm IWB (Glock or Smith) or the non-trendy 442, or LCR.

If you want cool factor, than get the stainless Sig and rosewood grips. They're perdy.

A .25 saved my life a couple weeks ago.

If you change your mind, the LCR's are really hard to beat.

But if I were you I'd be looking at the G43 or Smith and Wesson Shield right now.

It's the tack Hammer of Thor...

First, Damn a snake.

Second, a question.

Was the bastid all coiled up and one 25 ball round stitch him in three different places, or did you have to shoot him three times to slow down his slither?
