    Then you probably won't like a glock slide-release either.

     

    What didn't you like?

    Hard to hit?

    Too much tension?

     

    It was tough to just press down with only one hand on the gun, otherwise you had to pull the slide back just slightly to release it. It was also just a little too far forward on the slide. Now I know I could go in there and dremel and polish the release and it wouldn't be too much of an issue. Or maybe a skinnier grip under the beaver tail. But if I remember correctly the m&p doesnt have an extension for it either

    In regard to the ruger, they haven't been making a decent semi-auto hand gun for long enough to trust them. I Don't doubt that the sr9c is a great gun but if you look at the brand and look at the others in question, there is no doubt your buying a gun from a company that has a good history of making great guns, not a few years of making a good gun

    Spend $100 more and buy my M&P .40C :)

     

    The slide release sucked ass! And It wasn't just that one specific one, I've messed with 3 and they were all the same. So just off that it was a no go. I want it to be comfortable.

    thanks eric, yeah it will ultimately come down to whatever feels best shooting but if 2 feel great i need a pro con ! also looking for info on things to watch for if buying used. because some of those that would be the only way i could get it, atleast sooner than later.

    alright guys so im looking at getting a carry pistol. im trying to keep it under $500 too but i know some are more than that. heres what ive narrowed it down to based on hand fitment and such:

     

    Springfield XDM 40 compact. (perfect with the extended mag)

    Sig P250 (need to see how it feels with extended mag, ok without tho)

    Sig P229 (my brother in law carries,equinox with wider grips, feels nice ive shot it plenty of times)

    Glock 23 (ive shot but dont remember much, this is what my other brother in law carries)

    also throwing around the Beretta storm (it felt nice and comfortable)

     

    bonus to the Sigs is that you can get aftermarket grips. and i theme all my stuff to black and white, and hogues checkered aluminum is pretty slick looking. so i could in turn theme my sidearm as well! also they have a combo to where you can get the fullsize and compact together, since its the firing mechanism that has the serial it can be swapped.

     

    glock and sig both have .22 conversion kits for those guns which is a bonus as well.

     

    whatever i get will be a compact and fire .40. mainly because both brother in laws shoot .40 and we can all buy in bulk to get a discount online. i was undecided between 9mm and .40 but that kinda swayed the decision.

     

    my number one choice right now is the XDM. so im really hoping its a dream to shoot as well.

     

    i know i need to go shoot them all, which we are doing next week, but i would like to know what everyone opinion of them is. anyone have any first hand experience with all or any of them? know of any other pros and cons to any specific ones?

  18. Help! cant get this to look right

    trish i love both of yours, expecially this last one! but for the client the first had too much contrast. if it was for me i would have gone with either of them. my client is using them for christmas cards and so just a simple b/w with the red bow that had some detail is what she wanted.

     

    i really appreciate both of your help with this. along with the tips and additional ideas.

    alright fellas, i did a shoot his morning for some family friends of mine, but i cant get this to look right. i cant pinpoint it but something doesnt seem right. she wanted just the bow on the wreath to be in color, which i did but any additional help would be greatly appreciated.

     

    one thing i forgot was my grey card so i was using auto white balance. i also had a gold reflector. if that helps with editing!!!

    oh and i couldnt find my 200mm so i was using my 24-105mm.

     

    ive got the RAW and PSD file i can email if someone has a second to help!

     

    heres what ive got so far (just remember this is converted to jpg so quality isnt the best)
