Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns single stack vs double stack 9mm

In slow fire, you can stop and readjust your grip between shots. You can't if you want to shoot El Presidente, Mozambique, The Test, or any of dozens of other standard, timed, scored drills AND get a passing score within the par time.

Yep. And the faster you want to go, the harder it is with a smaller, lighter gun.

I get it.

I'm trying to understand what it has to do with what I wrote.

You sound like you enjoy talking...shooting...not so much.

You couldn't be more wrong.

When I do go shooting I only bring two cartridges.

That way I'm sure to exercise all the fundamentals.

Doing it once a year double secret probation makes me concentrate.

Pffft!


Be sure to turn your head to the side so that nothing in your face gets in the way of the target.

I hear the Marine Corps is switching to 5 round mags.

My girlfriend bought one and I have shot it a bit. I was impressed. It almost made me want to buy a .380. Almost.

It's the first gun my wife likes to carry in the woods when she hikes. It's loaded with Buffalo Bore hard casts. Glockdoofus would have a stroke, so let's keep that between ourselves.

The EZ?

Yes

I gots to get this over with already...

What holster does she use for it?

El cheapo nylon with a strap that goes over the rear of the slide and snaps on the side. If you are used to a Glock trigger, this one is different and the reset is different.

You might wanna try the LC9s or the XDs. Better triggers than most service pistols...

Walthers have better triggers than both of them, and Sigs do easily in DA.

Which Walther of comparable size has a trigger better than the LC9s?

The LC9S has one of the best striker fire triggers out there.

I prefer my single stack 9mm over the double stack other than if I was going to worry about how many rounds I wanted to carry in the gun and on the belt. I have a CC permit, but rarely use it and people leave me alone because I am such a nice guy. Still, I haven't worried so much about all the nuances of self protection as much as what gun I have and how well I can shoot it.

I prefer my PSP over the M13 9 out of 10 times. It isn't as light as the plastic stuff, but I don't worry about that enough to get a plastic gun. The holster with the PSP is easy enough to conceal and the gun has a fantastic trigger, it is more accurate than any of the other guns out there, with a trigger that is perfect and always the same...

The XDS trigger is horrid, very heavy and stacks to all hell....if you start changing springs & honing metal it might get better. The LC9S is certainly an improvement over the LC9, which was a screwjob to Ruger customers...but both that I tried had a lot of take up, and too much over travel for me. Though the LC9S didn't stack, and the wall reasonable for a carry piece.
