SIGs. :uhoh:

Tis a sad day for me. I have tried to convice her of their flawless functioning and outstanding accuracy but she just isn't buying.

The next thing you know she will be bringing Glocks in the house. It always starts small with things like "Yeah I know the Walther is a plastic gun but it's still a German gun." Then it's "But the SW99 compact is really just a tiny little brother to the Walther and I love the feel of the Walther and the Walther is really a German gun."

It can only lead to one thing.........a Glock. I am beginning to think the Walther P99 was a gateway gun.:D

Sorry I was just bored and I got to thinking how it is funny how people can find two things so completely different and how when we ask each other for advice it is funny how everybody has something that works for them but couldn't imagine a carrying a gun that works for somebody else.

I was just musing. It always amazes me that two people can have such wildly differing opinions without either being wrong.

Ok, done musing.

Ahhh..one has seen the light. You dear Sir in time will also be assimilated. Resistance is futile. :D

Good Shooting

Look on the bright side...at least your SIGs are safe. When I let Robin try out the P232, she really liked it, and now I have to contemplate getting her one just like it.

Just for the record, I wasn't bashing Glocks just stating a personal pref.

I was just thinking about how different people's tastes are.

Glocks are starting to get outdated as far as plastic fantastics go.

P99 type guns are the plastic wave of the future.

If the P99 does nothing for her, try a good old 1911...Repeat after me- No Glocks! No Glocks!...(keep this up for an hour or so) ;)

Resistance to the dark side is a noble thing! :D

No, she loves the P99 and the feel of the smaller SW99 compact. I was just joking that I was sad I couldn't bring her over to the SIG side.

I was just making a joke about the plastic P99/SW99 being a gateway gun to the Glock.

I've never handled or fired a SIG but Glocks just don't do it for me. And I took an oath that I would never buy a plastic gun. I am a confirmed 1911 lover. Then one day I happened to see sitting at the local dealers shop a P99 in the case. Needless to say I got it (should have seen the tap dance I was doing for the wife :uhoh: ) and am quite pleased with it. But when all is said and done, the one I reach for is old slab sides.

If she has lost faith in the One True Sword, it's only a matter of time before she brings home one of those soul-less Glocks.

At least with the P99, there is some heritage to back it up :)

I had a plastic Walther also once. I was 6 years old and squirted everyone in range with my Yellow P38. Now I have a green and blue 1911 used to discipline the cat. And thats as far as plastic guns go in my house :)

Are Glocks microwave safe?? ;)
