Cheflife15 455 Posted June 19, 2020 Looking for another pistol to have some fun with. Right now I have a cz sp01 tactical at cajun gun works getting the pro package and a polymer walther ppq q 5 match (that i may keep still). I love shooting 9mm (mostly cause of the price of ammo and ease of recoil). With that said im looking for my next range toy. Im torn between saving for a nice 1911 like a dan wesson dwx or something of the sorts, and between buying a glock 34 and customizing it both aesthetically and with upgraded parts. Looking for you guys and girls to sway me a bit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would have to try a revolver before purchasing No revolver, regardless of PC or otherwise, will have a match grade trigger out of the box. That's part of the fun of owning a revolver. Plus, even if it was a "good" trigger, it is vastly different than anything you'll encounter on a semi-auto - even the vaunted PPQ. Adios, Pizza Bob 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fishnut 2,358 Posted June 19, 2020 1911 every one needs at least one 1911 in their collection but then you really should get a revolver too. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pizza Bob 1,488 Posted June 20, 2020 P2P is shorthand for "Permit To Purchase" If you insist on getting another bottom feeder, Tony13 certainly has the right idea. While purists may insist that ALL 1911's should be .45's, a 9mm 1911 is a thing of beauty. Even I have one...

Can i ask why you have such a love for revolvers They're what I grew up with. Even when I was shooting IPSC in the 80's (with a .45 ACP 1911 I might add), the only semi-autos that you would see were 1911's, a smattering of BHP's and every now and then the oddball S&W 59. Just look at the beauty of them - something that will never be achieved with "tactical tupperware". They are more challenging to shoot, but if you can master a revolver (I haven't thus far) you will shoot your semi-auto better. They teach things like concentrating on the front sight, a smooth pull of the trigger with follow-through. I just enjoy shooting them a lot more than any bottom-feeder I own. But, I am old.

Adios, Pizza Bob<---still thinks you should go for the 9mm revolver I've got both a .45 and a 9mm 1911. The 9mm is SUCH a soft shooter...almost like shooting a .22 LR. And ammo is cheap (at least is was, until the current Wuhan Flu bugaboo hit). Still prefer a nice .38 or .357 revolver, though..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
