WV338
355th TFW
For daily carry I like my Sig P938 then S&W 360PD and sometimes the Kimber Ultra Carry. But that's just me. I know there are many others that are just as good and serve the members well.
Personally, I love both the PPK and Makarov. That said, neither is comfortable to shoot. (Neither firearm is the absolute best choice but what is the best is relative.) I've carried the Makarov for years as it was affordable at the time I needed it. (The PPK is a safe queen. Both have historical interest for me. I no longer carry the Mak)Sorry but the author of that lost me with the first two... Glock (which ever one) and the Walther PPK? give me a break... I did not read any further , but has he or she actually shot a PPK?
There are a multitude of better choices in that realm.... just because it was made famous by Ian Fleming who was as knowledgeable about firearms as Joe Biden....does not make it a good concealed carry choice. This person obviously had drunk too much of the Glock Kool-aid. But then I'll admit my prejudice is that I just personally don't care for them.... swore for years I would never own a Glock... but never say never... I own 3 and my prejudice still stands... other than they aren't nearly half as ugly once you own one.
Midway has a Glock takedown tool. Very handy.I've owned a Glock 19 and Glock 20. They were OK to shoot but I had difficulty taking them down to clean. My off hand (right) is very weak (due to a mis-set double compound fractured wrist while in the military). Glock take-downs are just too awkward for me to do.
S&W M&Ps are my carry guns. I like the angle of the grip, and takedown is very easy.
I want a pistol that is reliable, easy to maintain and can be made to shoot accurately - a hurdle some pistols fail but most pass. For pistols that pass that hurdle, I suspect personal preference is the major reason people have a favorite.
You're right. But when Glock is the gun your required to carry. It's about as good as it gets. Glock was state of the art many years ago, now days seems most pistol makers want to copy some aspects of Glock and really update some pit falls Glock has. One is the take down. My S&W shield has a better take down method. In Dec. I was helping a new shooter with the Glock sub compact in .45 auto. He has large stubby fingers. Those small tabs are terrible for him to feel.kmoore I'm not as ornery as I seem here and will give your method a try,.... but regardless of how 'easy' that method is compared to the official special handshake method Glock suggest... it is still a joke compared to a Sig .... just my prejudice. Heck, I just realized I've got a Glock 19 in my highway emergency kit beside me as I type this.... so, here goes....
Edit (three or five minutes later): you are right it works much better than the suggested method from Glock but is still not easy.... you have to find a squared corner on the table and then maybe it is just me but it is very hard for me to push those small tabs down together, at least on my Glock 19x they just barely stick out.
Why would a 45 or 10mm be indefensible?Glock in 9mm yes. Try defending a 45 or 10mm in court.
PPK no way. I dont like cruchen-tickers.
Nothing wrong with an American revolver for most of our needs.
