It is set to a private album.

Edit: I have set that way because I don't want those pics popping up on the main page.

Probably getting a handgun permit soon. What to get for range use? I've been looking at the Walther PPQ m2 9mm

BoneZ · 07-26-2016, 10:56 AM

Glock 19

Then try out an XD or M&P. Functionally pretty much the same as the Glock, but the designers actually took the time to make sure it felt good in your hand.

Or just buy a 1911. The answer is usually 1911.

Depends on you hand. The G19 fit me like a glove. Important point being, try several to find the one that's best for you.

Go rent a bunch at the range and see which fits you best. I already had multiple Glocks before I bought my M&P subcompact, but had I tested it before all the Glocks I would have gone that direction.

Best advice

Rusty · 07-26-2016, 08:29 PM

With the S&W M&P full size. You get 3 different back straps you can change.

I've shot a lot of Glocks, thinking that I might get one. But in the end. I always end end with something else. Glocks for some reason, I can't get to like them. Just not my cup of tea. They are good pistols thou.

DeliriousClam · 07-26-2016, 10:21 PM

I remember when I was young there were a few referred to as "glocknades" Don't know how relevant that is still. Either way just don't like em. Once I get my permit, the local range is going to let me test a couple guns. (all 9mm for starting) Walther PPQ M2, Beretta M92 (I've had a love for them but have a feeling I'll be let down by it) Beretta PX4 Storm, Springfield XD and a few different M&P's. I want to take a look at H&K's lineup soon

Rusty · 07-26-2016, 10:45 PM

Have a 9mm Beretta 92 FS. Nice shooting gun. But the grip is on the large size if you have small mitts.

On Glocks. If you reload. You might not be able to reload because of a thing called the Glock bulge. Anyone here experienced this? Have a couple of friends who have.

The Berreta 92 is a great gun. Some of the newer variants have thinner grips. Especially the the latest M9A3 which has a thinner grip and uses wrap around grip panels to change the thickness of the grip.

IIRC Glock bulge has more to do with the .40 S&W (and 10mm) models due to the higher pressures those rounds have. I've heard that 9mm and .45 ACP (and GAP) models don't really have that issue but it is possible when shooting very hot loads. It comes from the chamber not being fully supported. There are some reloading dies out there that will fix cases with Glock bulge. For 9mm I wouldn't worry about it and IMO reloading 9mm is not worth it due to very cheap bulk ammo out there.

Rusty · 07-26-2016, 11:53 PM

I seen the bulge in 9mm on both Glock and S&W M&P Shields. My wife's Shield doesn't like +Plus loads.

I reload everything I shoot. Cast my own bullets for pistols for target shooting. Just got done reloading 1200 rounds of 38 spl for my brother inlaw. Have 800 rounds of 9mm waiting to be reloaded. And 1800 rounds of 40 S&W waiting too.
