THIS! I went to look at a P210, with the thought of making a trade to get it. They wouldn't give me squat on the trade, so I ponied up the money anyway. Racking the slide was all it took.It feels like the slide is running on greased linear bearings
Oops, misinterpreted the title of the thread for a gun for targets only as in a plinker.The SA 35 is no target gun.
Hi Powers are have some cool history and I own several of them, but from a performance standpoint, they leave a lot to be desired by today’s standards.
I’ve decided I need 9mm target gun. All informal so it doesn’t have to fit a box or power level or anything at all. I have it narrowed down to a 1911 (Kimber or Springfield likely) or the new Sig P210. Looking for opinions.
I have plenty of 9mm defensive pistols so mag capacity is a non issue.
Obviously the correct answer is to buy both but let’s just say money is a slight issue, so which one first?
I think that’s the right choiceI think the P210 American is calling my name the loudest. As I said, no competition shooting, I just want as much accuracy as I can get from 9mm. Planning to sell several lesser guns and buy quality.
Super nice pistolsThat Pardini is pretty special looking. Wasn't on my radar but I'll bellowing at them tonight even though it's way out of my league.
It’s absolutely has the best trigger of all my pistols & is purely a range toy.
Well, you got me beat, by #’s.!
The question has become, how much accuracy do you want (need?), and how much you are willing to spend.
I bought sometime back a late model S&W Performance Ctr. Professional M1911 in 9mm.
What a pretty piece of garbage! The throat is long enough to chamber a .356TSW 147gr XTP loaded to 1.169”, the longest that magazine will accept. It shoots basketball sized groups at 50yds. I may some day send it back to S&W for another barrel…
OTH I’ve got a Tisas M1911 “Service” that has many of the features of the S$W except it came with a non-adjustable Novak style rear sight. I’ve replaced it with a Dawson adjustable rear. It shoots 3” at 50yds! Cost me $350 plus the rear sight.
Go figure!
Sounds like a great haul you’ve got there. I don’t own any standard 3rd gen Smiths any longer, but I do have quite a few more PC models in addition to those 952’s. I love the old Performance Center autosWell, you got beat, by #’s.!
I’ve just got a bunch of S&W’s Performance Center 5906’s, Super 9, M1911, and a garden variety Gen 3 5906, that holds its own.
