I was in the store, about to buy a P10C for a CCW piece.
I ended up buying a Glock 43x with the tritium night sights.
it’s the Glock that I never knew I always wanted. IWB perfection.
Yeah, given that same situation, I'd go glock there all day.I was in the store, about to buy a P10C for a CCW piece.

NoDid you get any tacos today for National Taco Day?
Best stock Glock Trigger I’ve ever used. But, the wall is stiff. Really stiff. But a short reset. While the P10C has the best stock SA Striker fire trigger the world has ever seen, Glock triggers have really come a long way from the Gen 1 17 of my youth.Yeah, given that same situation, I'd go glock there all day.
I/We/ our household has Ruger on us now but we have carried S&W MP shields to Glock to Beretta to Ruger and CZ would only be to try it out. We tend to go compact handguns though now due to circumstances.
You will love your Glock compact. I personally haven't shot a 43x. Let me know how it treats you man.
Are you hitting the wall and then still needing extra pressure to engage the pin? Or is there a wall delay? I think most glock triggers are specific but once you get used to it, most other triggers will iritate you.Best stock Glock Trigger I’ve ever used. But, the wall is stiff. Really stiff.

Overpriced...Kimber 6 shot revolver
So anyone care to discuss the argument between .45 and 9mm?
I'm curious what people think I lean towards .45 myself.

Let me preface this by saying, I don't really have an issue with guns. I respect the 2nd amendment and don't really give a shit what other people do. I don't personally own one nor will I ever as I don't see a need.
Can you explain this line of thinking to me? How many times in your life has a gun in a public situation been advantageous for you? Have you ever even drew it or had a reason to draw it in public?
Shown where? I never get in confrontations anymore. In fact, since I’ve carried, ive actually worked harder to diffuse them. The truth is, I know I can be more patient, calmer and less combative or intimidating, in order to keep the situation from escalating. When I was younger, and dumber, I was more prone to simply smashing someone in the face, as soon as the conflict arose.Let's just say I don't believe that is necessarily a universal law all gun owners strictly adhere to. It's been shown a person carrying is much more likely to assume others are carrying also, and perceive threats where there are none. Or perceive them to be greater than they are.
It’s for the same reason why I wear a seatbelt in a car, or a helmet on a bike. Don’t plan on crashing either, but it’s better to have it and not need it, then need it and not have it.
”Feel like I have to feel safe by carrying a gun” LOL. I have a hard time believing that you’re as well travelled as you claim, while being so smug, and condescending.I'm sorry you feel like you have to feel safe by caring a gun. I've never lived or visited a place like that. Kinda seems stupid to me and I was raised in the midwest. I've traveled all over the world (Thailand, UK, Africa, China, Ireland and Australia to name a few.) All of these cultures that I experienced helped me articulate my position on American politics and how fucking stupid the people are here. I recently went to Mexico and you wouldn't believe the amount of people there that wanted Trump to die. I would ask them if they wanted to come to Amercian and they said straight to my face "Fuck NO, I hate Donald Trump". Yeah, YUGE national crisis at the border.

And, could you tell me, what Trump, and Mexicans’ opinions of him, have to do with this thread?
Anyway, My 8y.o.’s favorite restaurant (a steakhouse) out here had a shooting a few months back.
There was an active shooter hiding out at the Yard I work out of, looking to take a hostage for getaway a few weeks ago.
The park where my kids regularly play at, and play soccer and football, just had 4 dogs get out and tear a nanny and the children she was watching to shreds (I LOVE dogs, but if a dog ever came at one of my kids, there is no decision to make, I’ll put it down), leaving them disfigured for life. They also tore up the jogger who ran out and pulled the toddler out of their jaws, and held him up by over his head while they tore at his legs.
So, it’s like carrying insurance. Or in Chris Rocks’ words “in case shit happens”.
I also carry a first aid kit when we go hiking, or camping. Although I’ve never needed it, I have it, just in case. It, like the gun, is not a security blanket for me to “feel safe”
Well, not to long ago, Williston was like the Wild West, during the last boom. Women were getting raped and murdered at a high rate. And yes, even men were getting raped and murdered. A grown ass man was gang raped, in the Walmart parking lot, in broad daylight. The ho track, was also at the Walmart, at the money services counter. Hookers, strippers, and dope dealers from all over the country were coming up here.North Dakota seems like a very violent place. 62 years in suburban Chicago and I've never seen anything like that. It's a good thing that you always have a gun and a first aid kit with you, a terrible way to live, but at least you're prepared.
Maybe it’s why I find it funny when you debate me, as to what desperate people will and won’t do, and the “feel safe” bullshit.
