Glocks have been nothing but trouble for me. I can't stand 1911 either, everyone I have got has gone down the road. I just don't like the fit and feel of them. They all ran fine but the glocks were always having problems.

Might be adding a shield in a few days.

I bet your a limp wrister

:chuckle: First time I have ever heard that :chuckle:

I wasn't joking.

It comes from shooting big revolvers.  There is no place for the recoil to go on a big revolver so you must "limp wrist" them during the barrel flip, it's a terrible way to shoot an auto though where you must "stiff wrist" them.   

So a guy that's accustomed to big bore revolvers has a terrible time with autos.

Everyone knows I am a handgun buff. I put around 3-5k threw my semi autos and do very well with most. I just do not shoot the 1911's well they are to much of a brick for me in my hand. It's the design of the gun for me.

I think if I limp wrist this 500 s&w and 4" 44 mag sitting 6 feet from me or the 454 they would snap me like a tooth pick :chuckle:

Now the glocks fit me well. They just have not been reliable for me.

Only six shooter I have ever shot with barrel flip was the single action 454 Casual.  The Redhawks, GP100, 626 and 29s have always come straight in.  Even with the additional reloading I always shot my best IPSC scores with the six shooter. So I don't think there was much barrel flip there.  Always thought the recoil just went into my shoulders. :dunno:  Just started getting used to the Sig about the time I quit the IPSC thing.  I expect with that I could have bettered my scores in time.  Glock Long slide was a disaster for me >:(

I didn't know you shot autos so much but knew you had big revolvers.  I'll quit playing internet range instructor now  :chuckle:

Some guns that cost twice as much barely shoot this good. There are a lot of people that don't like the first or second series of Kimbers, but mine runs fine.

I hated mine,  heavy POS you couldn't pack around or find holsters for.   All flash and no utility.


I have a shoulder holster and pack it around a lot, it's also been mag-na-ported
That's my one shot.

I'm very fond of my HK USP Compact .45ACP. Fits my hand very nicely, no adjusting to get sights on target when I point it, and the recoil is very manageable  :)
