Very well put! And if you're cheap like me and shoot steel cased ammo, the ammo cost goes down to $185 shipped Trigger feel is very subjective. Personally, I'm not a big fan of the stock M&P trigger. I find it to be "vague" and the trigger reset is a bit soft for my taste. Is it useable the way it is? Absolutely. Is it going to win any awards in the trigger category? No. But, again, it's a very subjective thing.

I think holster selection plays a VERY big part in comfort... as does body type. I'm average height with an above average mid-section, but I'm reasonably comfortable carrying a Glock 19 in a Raven Concealment holster all day.

All are good choices, but my vote is for the 19. Unless you have a particular aversion to Glock ergonomics, you'd be hard pressed to find a better all around gun. Relatively easy to conceal without being too small, 15+1 capacity, reasonably priced magazines, a ridiculous amount of holster options, and mostly importantly, VERY reliable.

Great first gun, 7-3-2. My first was an M&P 9 as well. Congrats and enjoy it. Negative. M&P 9 come with 17 rounders OR 10 rounders. The mags pictured are 10 rounders. However, S&W makes 15 rounders just for us lowly NJ folk.

Not everything has to be logical... some things are just fun.

In my experience, the silo range is the least "formal" of all the ranges... so more often than not, if someone new shows up, the people that are shooting will usually call a cease fire within 5 minutes of the new shooter showing up. If for some reason they don't just walk over to them and ask for a cease fire.

Dunno if anyone has mentioned this to you, but, you can bring your own spinners and what not to the silo range.

From what I remember reading, the quals were changed some time after 9/11 because not enough people were able to pass the test and they had a lot of slots to fill.. I've had this link bookmarked from 2-3 years ago, so I don't know accurate it is as of 2011: http://www.frfrogspad.com/miscellp.htm

I finally got to finish it this morning - luckily it saved the last level I had gotten to and I didn't have to redo it all over again. Either way, I suck lol

I guess I never officially stated my vote even though I hinted at it, so yes, my vote is for the 19.

Great meeting tonight! The Rabbi is a very good speaker and brings an interesting perspective to the 2A argument. Thanks for continuing to bring these events up north See you all next time

And I'd be happier than a pig in sh*t (hey, we can't agree on everything )

Gotcha. Glock needs a punch or "glock tool" (which is really just a punch) to do a detail strip.

Easier than a Glock? (I ask that having ZERO 1911 experience, so don't take it as glock fanboy-ism)

Factory is about 5lb (+/- .5) trigger pull.

Congrats!

NYC cops have what's called the NY1 trigger spring in their Glocks.. makes the trigger pull like 11-12 lbs. http://www.glock.com/english/options_triggerspring.htm I didn't realize their offduty guns had it as well tho

As long as no last minute work stuff comes up, I'll be there.

Thanks Shane - I guess I'm more tolerant than most, since I use fixed sights with the H1

haha I gave up for now - have a meeting in a few minutes. Gonna try again tomorrow

Dammit - I can't get past level 14

I'm curious why you say that. I run an H1 on a lower 1/3 mount on my ARs and have never noticed an issue
