That's not the first time I've heard and read people saying "In the gunshop I didn't like the way the Glock felt in my hand; however, after
shooting the Glock, it was a totally different story."
In the end, it's not how comfortable a gun is in your hands, but how well you shoot with it! When that criminal is running and bobbing all around, you're not going to think in your head after accurately shooting him down "Man, this gun felt weird in my hand! I mean, I was dead on accurate with it, but *uhg* I hate the way it feels!" LOL!
That's why I don't go by the "Go to the gunshop and see how they feel first, then make your decision" type of answer anymore, when someone is seeking a new pistol to buy. I say "Go to the gun range and see how you SHOOT with these guns first, if anything."
True, I'll still suggest to go for one gun over another, if that's all you want as an answer. But, in the end, it really is how you shoot with a pistol, as long as the other in comparison is close to equal in reliability and durability.
If you shoot great with a very unreliable gun (usually mouseguns aren't known for reliability) but crappy with a very reliable brand, then I'd suggest not getting the unreliable gun, and keep practicing with the reliable brand until you've become a good shot with it. So there're certain things to weigh when picking a gun you need to rely on to help save your life one day.
It's not just how a gun feels in the hand, but rather
how you shoot with it, that
really matters in the end.
We'd be amazed at how many people use their bias to pre-judge Glocks before even shooting them, and think "They look blocky, I won't like that!" Or even more "I even held it, and it's too blocky, and doesn't feel right in my hands."
Then they just put it down and go for another gun; never knowing that a gun can shoot different compared to simply how "it feels" in your hands alone. Ah well, they're missing out on a great pistol brand, and don't even know it.
Anyway, good choice my friend. I'm getting a Glock 29 (sub compact 10mm platform) for woods protection and CCW for defense against two-legged criminals, as well. It'll be a multi-tasker pistol!
If hunting with a Glock, then yes, you'll most likely want a Glock 20. Yes, the grip is bigger than usual, but others (like Ted Nugent) have no problems using their Glock 20's to hunt with at all.
Check
www.Georgia-Arms.com for 10mm canned heat. Buy in bulk from them, and it's roughly $14.70 for every 50 rounds.
Check
www.DoubleTapAmmo.com for good "hotter than usual" 10mm defense rounds! I'm going to be using the 200 gr. FMJ for bear defense, and most likely 180 gr. JHP for two-legged BG defense.
