Welcome to Glock World. Have two myself--G22/G30 and getting real fond of both. No experience with the G32, but do have an XD in 357sig and agree that it's quite a potent round.

Since the cat is out of the bag and the rabbit died...

Congratulations!!! God Bless You Both. -
I Will Not Forget! I Cannot Forget! Some may, I won't. It's burned into my memory as long as I live. Like many others, I cried unashamedly that day and still do seeing those images again. I'm sorry for those that have forgotten. I'm terribly sorry for the lack of respect given to Firefighters in general these days and that those short-lived days of thanks and rememberance for you have ended. Please accept my heartfelt thanks for your commitment and service to the community. I thank you as I try to do with others when the opportunity arises.

You're absolutely right. I had to learn the hard way.

You misunderstand, sir. That's the basis of the Liberal Value system: Do as I say, not as I do for me. It's ok for me, not you. I know better than you, let me take care of you. Just give me all your money, you're to ignorant to know how to best spend it. And any other two-faced, self-serving platitude you can come up with.

You said laser/light combo didn't you. Unless you have above average to large hands you might not care for the CT lasergrips. I put a set on my xd9sc and found it increased the girth of the grip considerably. Just an fyi comment. I should have known that since I was happy with the Streamlight unit on my 4" 357 xd.
-
Really nice. You'll like the way it handles. I'm toying with the idea of a compact to go with the xd9sc.
-
Yes. At least that's what my wife says.

Congratulations on your first gun. I believe you will like the Sigma. A solid, dependable gun. Not flashy, but will function for you. And in the end, that is all that is important. Practice with it consistantly, get comfortable with the trigger, and you'll be fine. Good Shooting to you.

Wife needs to see this if she hates guns

I've seen this weveral times and it still gives me a chill each time. Show this to everyone you can. Tell them it might just save their life by watching. -
Well, Bless me! I forgot the Sig 1911's.:stare:
-
Alright, I'll play devil's advocate for you. Don't do it. You'll hate yourself in the morning. It's too big, too heavy, and way too expensive. There. Did that help? No? Then go get the freakin' Sig.
-
Glad you like it. Seems like a gun that has a small place in the gun world. I would like to pick up one at some point as well. As you know, lots of negativity about the Judge in all its forms, but I'd consider it at least as useful as some of the monster caliber guns in production today.

I'm puzzled too. The comment that you have to have an FFl to buy and sell at a profit? I'm not fussing at Strick, I'm really curious. I've not heard of that. What about anyone who trades at a gun show and gets a better deal than the other guy? Could that not be considered profit? I've traded guns that were bought sometimes years earlier when I decided for whatever reason to let go of them. Some I got ahead on and some I got behind on. And some I lost my but on because of impulse buying and hating what I got after shooting it. I know none of us like coming in behind in dealing, but usually someone does. Usually me. But no one forced me. No one held a gun to my head and said "Buy this at a great profit for the seller of I'll shoot." We all decide relative worth to us on an individual basis, if it's to high...walk away. But I'm not aware that it is illegal to make a profit, even here. Is it a TGO thing, or have we all misunderstood this thread and transaction?

I'll pretty much echo the senitments of others here on the keltecs. I've had a P32 for about four years as bug and pocket carry It's light, snappy with the right ammo, pretty accurate for no sights. With practice, 6" patterns at 20/25 feet is doable consistantly. But, Practice with it! Stay used to the long trigger. Run a few round thru at each range session. As for ammo, I practiced with fmj and winchester silvertips , using the latter for carry. Then found some prvi partisan fmj; liked it better than the winchester and kept it loaded withe the pp since. I would recommend the 32 over the 380 for all the usual reasons--caliber similarity, etc, and the ease of getting 32 ammo. Had a first gen PF9 and absolutely hated it--Long sloppy trigger, harsh recoil and fte's. Sold it as fast as possible. I do understand the newer version is better.

That's the problem.. it's simple for a bunch of computer geeks, not for everyone else.

A short-haired border collie/blue heeler(?) mix. Has lines, legs and body of the border collie, and the coloration and markings like the heelers. Sweet, lovable, hyperactive bundle of love. Rescued from the humane society when her owners couldn't handle her at 12 weeks old. Molly is 18 months now and still allows us to have a small portion of the bed at night.

Never owned a Kimber. Seems like a love or hate relationship with them from what I hear and read of them. Having no personal experience with them I won't degrade them. I have had several SA guns, among them a Lightweight Champion Operator in a Commander style 4" barrel. I can say that I find it to be the equal, if not the better of 4 1911s I have currently. And one was a considerably higher priced gun with a matching reputation--a Performance Center SW 945 Micro Pistol. The springfield is more accurate, feeds anything I put in it, and was priced at about what you are finding. As you can guess, my vote would be for the Springfield.

I was there, Guess I just missed it. Going blind in old age. But I'm looking forward to it also. Really like the idea of a semiauto 22wmr. I'vve got an old S&W K frame, a 4'' Combat Masterpiece that is an absolute dream to shoot. A little loud, but very accurate. The only complaint I ever had... it would lock up after about 15 rounds. Had to cool down and wipe it down before firing again. Had a good smith check it out and was told that the frame/cyclinder tolerances on it were so close because the pistol was produced as a target gun and probablly not shot much until I got it. Anyway, a little filing and fitting and about 15 minutes had it corrected.

Very subtle, you little devil.

So is the Rabbi!

You don't have to sign in to take the test or get results. There's some other tests there too. Some are even fun to take. Well...maybe that's a bit untrue. They're at least not too long.
-
Mike, where'd you see the prototype? BTW, I ran an bodyshop parts truck thru Arrington for Keystone up until last year. Did we possibly meet?
-
So i'm the idiot who just had to read the mall ninja saga and take the test. Great. Maybe Rabbi can come back, retake the test, and make me look better?
