The decision has been made. Here are the reasons.
10. Good home defense gun for me/wife. No experience with shot guns and wanted to purchase something soon. Next shotgun training class is atleast a month away. Also, recoil even with "less recoil loads" maybe a little much for my wife. Revolver trigger pull was too hard for wife. She hated shooting one. No cash for trigger job. May need more than six/seven shots in a hurry. Never know.
9. Wife can shoot it pretty well. If I go down she can defend herself/avenge me.
8. Springfiled XD. Almost. Didnt quite feel right in hand. Plus grip-safety. Again if I get blasted may not be able to fire back. This maybe a moot point but you never know
7. HK USP compact. Like it alot...but... Wife is left handed. Safety is in bad spot for her. Also cant afford one. For that matter cant afford two Also non-safety version unavailable and again to much loot. Also, never got too shoot one.
6. CZ p0-1/CZ85b. Almost. Glock was only a litte more than p0-1 and cz 85b. Never got to shoot one, but felt good in hand.
5. Walther p99. Almost. rented this at the range alot. Wife shot well with it in sa and da. Little pricey. Glock was simpler parts wise. Still was really close.
4. Kimber Custom. Pricey. Liked but never got to shoot one. .45 ammo little pricey. Im on a budget. Wife may have had trouble with safety/ recoil etc.
3. Gun shop/Range employee mostly had them(Glocks that is) . Must be something when that many people who are far more knowledgeable of guns have the same thing. Or atleast have one.
2. WWHSD? What would Han Solo Do? "Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side kid? I think Han would have a Glock
1 1/2. THR Great information and responses from some seemingly great people/personalities. I took all the comments and applied them to my decision. Is it for home? Are you going to carry it? Have you tried revolvers? Go rent/shoot the guns you like? How does it feel in your hand etc? All the questions and comments made me ask others and myself more questions. Therefore more knowledge the better.
1. I shot it. Like how it felt in my hand. Seems like it will be ready to go right out of the box. Have continued to rent/practice with it until I get mine next week. Have gained confidence with it and in it.
Well thats all. Thanks again to all. Responses and comments welcome.
