Murse Posted December 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 One of the guys I used to work with carried the m&p 9mm and his was the same even after the hundreds of rounds that has been shot through it. The HK P30 would deff be on the list but I'm really trying to keep it to around $500. And even used those aren't cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be iffy to find an HK in that price range. Maybe one of the older USP trade-ins. Just don't buy a hi-point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EssFo Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 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 I had similar doubts before I bought my SR9c. I've put over 1000 rounds through it and so far it's performed flawlessly. I'm sure it didn't win the Shooting Industry Academy of Excellence handgun of the year three years in a row on accident. I would say they got this one right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stangsn95gt Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 I agree with Marks list, and if you don't like the slide release on a glock I put an extended slide release on all of mine and they work great. http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/pid=23432/Product/EXTENDED-SLIDE-RELEASE-LEVER-for-GLOCK- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Am I the only one who only pulls the glock slide back after reloading a magazine? I can use the release if I want but I have no issues with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRocket1647545505 Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Am I the only one who only pulls the glock slide back after reloading a magazine? I can use the release if I want but I have no issues with it There's nothing wrong with that method (called the slingshot method), however, I wouldn't train using ONLY that method. You never know when your support hand will be taken out of the fight (broken, shot off, etc.), so I'd throw in some practice with dropping the slide using the lock, as well as racking the gun using the sights.

Yeah I thought about that. I've seen videos of someone field striping with just one hand. I've been practicing that but I can't do it quickly...yet :fuuuu: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, I practice all the methods, fairly good at all of them. Usually rack the slide by hand, but also use the sights on my pocket to rack it while practicing. With the extended slide release on a glock it 10x easier than the stock one to release it. Its good to be well versed in all of them.

Otis Nice Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 I had similar doubts before I bought my SR9c. I've put over 1000 rounds through it and so far it's performed flawlessly. I'm sure it didn't win the Shooting Industry Academy of Excellence handgun of the year three years in a row on accident. I would say they got this one right. Over 3000 through mine. Not a problem. Also, P95 had a killer article in the last magazine I read. I agree Ruger may not be known for their SA but I wouldn't discount them...especially with the SR9/40c or P95.

2pointslow Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 I dont know if you are interested in revolvers. I just picked up a s&w 38 special airweight, never thought i would own a revolver other than my 44 mag but i loved the feeling of this gun in my hand. http://www.championfirearms.com/v/vspfiles/photos/163438-2T.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want one for myself eventually. GREAT CCW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murse Posted January 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 No I never thought about a revolver for my ccw but I'll deff shoot one to see. Me and both brother in laws are going to head up to Black Wing in a few weeks to shoot all the prospects. We were unable to go durring Xmas so we're going to check out that range since neither of us have been there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got-Boost? Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Not sure about OH law but in TX if you qualify with a revolver you can only carry a revolver. If you use a semi you can CCW anything.... Since I'm late to the party I would say P229, XDM, Glock and forget the others. See which one feels/fits the best and try renting them all to shoot (if you can) before purchase. You really can't go wrong with any of those three...

Murse Posted January 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Yeah as of right now it's; XDM, P229, and then glock. But I haven't shot the xdm or the others on the list, only the 229 and glock. I'm hoping BlackWing has all of them to rent and shoot when we go up there.
