Reviews seem all over the place.

 

Wow, just read some myself, not much middle of the road. I don't like the size of it. It's too "mid" for my taste.

Glock 20 10mm Olive Drab

 

I think a Glock 20 may be in my future. I hear good things about 10 mm and it seems the 1911's are having trouble with full power 10 mm but Glocks handle them just fine. I may join the Glock Sport Shooting Foundation to qualify for the discount gun purchase coupon after a year of membership and that would probably be the Glock I would get.

 

How difficult is it for you to find 10mm rounds. I haven't seen much and what I have seen is the underpowered rounds that are comparable to a 40 cal. Sounds like the powerful Underwood rounds can be had and while not cheap, are not stupid expensive.

 

The nice thing about the Glock 20 is that conversion barrels are plentiful so you can also shoot .40 cal or you can get the slide for the Glock 21 and now have a full sized .45 ACP Glock.

So called "Semi-Pro Football team. Older guys playin for free actually.

Well, I was at Lotus Gun Works in Jeffersontown looking for a magazine part and a Smith and Wesson 686+ .357 Magnum with a four inch barrel somehow followed me home.

 

I am loving this revolver.

It's just awful isn't it? It's like crack. I have the same problem.

This is a gun that I have wanted for a while, and I was going to pass it up but I knew once they put it on their Facebook page it would be GONE and who knows how long it would be before another would come around so I sucked it up and bought it.

 

Someone once told me any gun enthusiast will probably have three types of guns in their gun safe (among others). A 1911, a revolver and a Glock (or similar high capacity striker fired gun like a S&W M&P or XDS,etc.) I have the Glock and the revolver and I really liked firing the 1911 at the range. Saying that, there are so many variations of 1911's that it will take quite a bit of research to figure out which. Even though I am pretty sure it will be a 5 inch Kimber or a 5 inch Sig, each of those companies have so many variations of their 1911's that I really don't know where to start.

 

I know Sig has two lines of 1911's, a traditional line and (I guess it is called) a non traditional line. At first glance the only difference I can tell is the non traditional line has an external extractor where as the traditional line has the more common in 1911's internal extractor. How that affects the functionality of the gun, I haven't a clue. I know old school, traditionalist 1911 owners say having an external extractor is heresy and John Moses Browning will haunt you if you go that route. As far as I am concerned, if the extractor being external means it is more reliable, the traditionalists and Brownings Zombie can gripe and haunt me all they want.

I know there are two sides of the argument as to whether you should a) carry a gun locked and cocked (in single action mode with the safety on) or b) carry a gun in double action (would eliminate 1911's since they are single action only) with no safety so in a moment of extreme stress, you don't have a stress induced brain fart and not swipe the safety off. I think it is interesting that Heckler and Koch gives you the option of either on some of their guns. Their guns run similar to many of the P series Sig Sauers where they can be Double Action on the first trigger pull and in Single Action after each follow up shot assuming you don't hit the decocker. The difference is the H&K's have a safety so you could also pull the hammer back but engage the safety when holstered. I could see cases where it would be nice to switch between single action with safety engaged or double action with safety disengaged.

That's where I bought mine. Right around the corner.

Once I get my permit, mine will be locked and loaded with one in the chamber. Seems silly to do it any other way if you are going to carry, IMO.

Like I say, might as well conceal a ballpeen hammer then.

Unnecessary post.

Agreed, if you do not feel safe/competent to carry with a round chambered, you need to train and practice till it is second nature. There are quite a few people who were carrying Israeli style (round not chamber, firearm needed to be racked to fire, often called condition 3) and their weak arm was preoccupied fighting off the attacker and they could not rack the slide. Many of those people lost control of the gun and had it used on them.

 

While many people worry about the risk of a negligent discharge if a round is chambered, in the long run it is safer so long as you always follow the 4 rules of gun safety so you will be prepared should that awful day arrive when you need the gun to protect yourself.

 

I have heard the Israeli military and the Mossad, no longer carry Israeli, they to carry Jeff Cooper's condition one.
