Hello all! I wanted to introduce myself to the community. I've been lurking for a while and am impressed with this community and the respectful way everyone can share ideas/opinions and keep it high road. I salute you all!
As for me, I'm a single 29 year old who recognizes his right to carry (got my CCW when I was 21 but didn't start carrying daily until a few months ago). I was fortunate to grow up in a very pro-rkba family and started shooting when I was 8 or so. Contrary to the anti's beliefs, I've had access to guns my whole life and have managed to avoid shooting myself or anyone else (it's amazing what educating your kids about guns can do huh?)
To keep this gun-related, I got a new pistol today. A Glock 23. My daily carry gun is a Springfield XD9SC but I miss my Glock 19 and decided to get a .40 S&W in the same frame size. So far I'm very impressed with it. I popped off a couple mags worth after I got it and I'm anxious to do some bench-rest shots tomorrow because this gun can outshoot me offhand! I don't remember my G19 being anywhere near this accurate.
The gun definately has some bite though. I'll try more rounds and do a comparison tomorrow but it seems to feel about the same as my Star PD (4" barrel .45 1911) recoil-wise. I didn't expect the recoil to be on par with my .45, but that said, I still like it :D I'm looking forward to shooting the bejeezus out of it and hopefully start shooting in the local IPSC matches.
