Who talks about the glocks on that (lightbulb) light bulb thread?

Sorry, mine was a 1066... fat fingers or old brain. I would have loved a 1076 FBI with decocker like a SIG. I liked it but it was concrete block heavy when loaded. And the recoil impulse when shooting really torqued your wrist. It seemed like the spring was so stoudt, the recoil had to find somewhere to go and up was the easiest. It was unholy accurate, but not pleasant to shoot alot of. I found the Tanfolgio to ab easier shooter and the G20 the easiest. Plus almost as accurate and lighter and carried more rounds. I will say it possibly every day from now till the day I die.... Two of the best guns ever designed are the G19 and the G20, and both are the best in their categories.

I think all 3rd gens were the same.... so here is what I did on a 1076. At the bottom rear of the grip, there is a pin, drive out this pin . Then pull the factory grip down and out. Make sure they are not slippery and you may need to use a brass screwdriver for wedging. It can be a beyotch the first time you try it. Getting them back on is trickier because you have to account for the main spring and the main spring plunger into the little pocket inside the new grip panels.

I would like to see transcripts of this trial. I am really interested to know what the white hat friend of victim was doing. In the surv videos it certainly looked as if he was pulling a gun from IWB at 4:00. Maybe a knife? Probably all about a woman.

You know what... this state is so screwed right now, you could probably get CCW passed if you made it with a stipulation that "Firearm eligible to be use as Concealed Carry weapons have barrel length no longer then 2" and have the ability to have a capacity no greater then 2 rounds." I bet it would fly.

stop tyoing and go eat a cheeseburger will you.

Just trying to get as much money as possible out of this company before the leave the state. I can see the AG saying behind closed doors, "If they are not going to pay our taxes... then fine them till they go bankrupt".

ha... Shane, that has been my plan all along, I would wield him like a saber.

Shane hit it... G17 standard mags are 17rd, therefore verbotten. G19 standards are 15rd.... Go g19, you will never sell it.

Prince is a lucky bastard.

oh yeah... sorry for my rude behavior. Welcome and pull up a chair... it can get mighty entertaining around here.

spend that money... otherwise you will spend it trying every gun under the universe until you find one that works for you.

I am sorry to say the Mr Greenwald and I are high school compatriots. I need to go have a talk with him.

Having seen Shane45 shoot... I know where my money is going.

I have taught many a new female shooter...It was a hobby. Dont be suprised when the missus out shoots you! Women take the ego out of shooting, they have no expectations of being gunfighters. My wife can shoot with the best of them, she chooses not to shoot often. I have seen the smallest women handle .45 and .357s well, when they get over the initial shock. Also caliber is only part of the equation, gun make, grip angle, gun weight, type of mech. Some 9mms recoil worse then some .45s. Case in point, I have a Glock 20 in 10mm that in my hands recoils much less then a Walther p99 does. Not the same for other people. Recoil is subjective many times, it really comes down to grip and comfort. The P22 is a good place to start, but rent one... dont buy. My wife likes my M19 .357... she thinks big holes are cool. But she will shoot my G19 more because it is easy for her. She does not like 10mm or .45 for some reason. I dont think she liked the grips on a 1911. She has shot and liked a Taurus PT92 I had I foolishly traded away. I would auggest keeping her away from .40s&w to start, sometimes it can be harsh for first timers.

I will look for you also. Avoid the chicom... http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=215428505 Unique.... lose the plastic. or a DS http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=215790597

Proof of intelligent life in Western Europe?

The xd is a fine handgun for a lefty, but there are many others. I am a lefty and have run the course of just about every left handed friendly gun made and many that were not. Let me just say this... do yourself a favor and avoid the P22. There are some P22s out there that are flawless... I have yet to shoot one and I have owned two. They are just great feeling little guns, that flat out dont work sometimes. PLUS, they have an unusual manual of arms, safety, decock etc that makes the gun tricky to use quickly. If this is for plinking and paper shooting alone, I would rethink that choice towards a Ruger 22/45, Browning Buckmark, Beretta NEOS or S&W 22A. XD service is a very good gun, but in NJ it is a non starter for me in that you will only receive 10rd mags with it and the 15rd are hard to find. There are many other great lefty handguns out there. The Walther P99AS comes to mind, a very lefty friendly gun that can be found used in excellent condition for about $500 and uses 15rd mags. The Glocks, especially the G19 is the perfect lefty gun and has 15rd mags. Their are many metal guns out there that work also, Browing/FN HiPower or P35, 13rds... Beretta 92 or M9, CZ85, S&W 3rd gen 5906, SIG P226 or 228. HK has some odels that work, but they are way expensive so keep that in mind. What I am getting at is go rent a plethora of guns at one of the ranges has a rental board. Spend about $100 trying every gun they have that will work for lefties. It will save you some heartache and cash and stop you from an impulse buy that you figure out down the road, does not really work for you. As a lefty, I love the Walther, I own three Glocks, The Smiths and the Beretta 92 or I even prefer the Taurus version the PT92.

Probably at lunch. Here is their FB page.... ask them questions there. http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/RayCo.FirearmsAmmunition Seem like great guys. Let me know how things work out.

My hate for Walmart stems from my past days as a hippie-environmentalist in the south. Down there Walmarts have destroyed small town america, putting up huge stores between numerous small towns, usually unincorporated county areas where there we low to no taxes. Then their merchandise was usually cheaper and yes more convenient then the stores in the towns. Killed mom and pop stores across the nation. So when people **** that there is no personal service, relationships or miss the old towns.... I 100% blame Walmart more then any other factors. And yes I was pissy and thanks for calling me on it.

Flipping of the magentic poles. I have a 1 Million dollar insurance rider on it happening.

I dont think they import the TPS anymore. Last ones I saw were in CDNN's catalog. Or http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=215254078

That looks to be a certain flinch creator! Heck that guy knows what is coming and he still flinches like he has been hit with a bat.

What pistols doe you own? I would consider a dedicated 22lr rifle (bolt, semi, lever) what ever you want... but I would really consider a 22lr conversion if avail for whatever handgun you shoot for training and practice. I have a GSG5 and I really like it. It is fun and I am going to put it through the accuracy paces here at an Appleseed shoot in the spring.

If you can use a .22lr I might leave the XCR at home and run it with the GSG. I would be more then willing to share my rifle.
