Firearms question

[CMike]

I am getting my concealed pistols license.

I am trying to decide between a glock 19 9 mm and a s&w mp .40 caliber.

Suggestions?

just between those 2 ? no contest---glock

 

[CMike]

Why?

 

[hjmick]

1911.

 

[Mr. H.]

I just purchased the S/W 40ve Sigma series. It's not the mp but it's less expensive and I liked the feel much better. I've run about 100 rounds thru it so far and I like it. It has a long trigger pull but that's part of the safety mechanism.

Are you plinking or want stopping power?

40 cal and S&W is may choice, one of my Smith's is twice as old as Glocks have been in business and as true as the day I bought it

 

[CMike]

I appreciate the input.

 

[Mr. H.]

Mike- narrow it down to a half-dozen models then take the time to handle each one. If you're allowed, load a full clip into the pistol and see how it feels. Decide how and where you'll be carrying it as a concealed weapon and take that into consideration. For concealed purposes you probably aren't concerned about hitting a target that's 40 ft. away so why pay extra for improved accuracy?

 

[CMike]

I shot 50 rounds in the glock 19 and 50 in the s&w mp .40

I like them both, that's the problem.

 

[hortysir]

You don't think they're a little large for carry?

 

[CMike]

I think the glock would be easier for carry.

 

[hortysir]

And here I thought my .380 was a little heavy

 

[CMike]

The glock 19 is a compact.

 

[hortysir]

How many round clip?

 

[Mr. H.]

What the hell- buy 'em both!

 

[CMike]

15 in the magazine one in the chamber. Buying them both now is a bit overkill, forgive the pun.

 

[hortysir]

1 for work, 1 for play

 

[CMike]

If I buy both now, my wife might take one of them and shoot me with it.

 

[hortysir]

We'll sell her my .380 and I'll go get one of those Glocks too !!!!
