Brand new. I've always found S&W triggers to be spongy right before the break, in addition to the trigger reset being terrible.
Mainly just putting rounds through at the range. I have a Sig P238 for when I may choose to conceal but it isn't all that much fun to shoot.
I shot both when I was trying to decide on my first handgun purchase. I found the glock more comfortable to shoot, so that's what I went with. If I could have afforded two at the time, I would have bought them both.
I think you'll be happier in the long run. Glock has a lot of things you can do to customize them, but as a stock gun they're fairly boring and those plastic sights are awful.
Loved my 92FS, but if I could go back I would have bought the Glock. Beretta is pretty, but you can buy 2-3 Glock mags for 1 Beretta.
One other note about the Beretta... the thumb safety is opposite pretty much every other pistol. This became problematic, as I always second guessed myself when carrying. Ultimately, this was the reason I got rid of it & now steer clear of thumb safety/hammer release for anything I might carry
I've been through 5 holsters, all types of materials. I've finally settled on kydex strictly for retention. My is a modded Bladetech. Got it at Cabelas then started cutting it down for comfort. You basically want something comfortable because you could be wearing it all day.
Tennessee requires training... but even the training was bullshit. The concern with National CC is that the standards of licensed CC are vastly different from state to state.
Get ready to waste an entire Saturday of your life. You will learn the following: The difference between a revolver and a pistol The difference between rimfire and centerfire what a trigger is what it means to chamber a round what a magazine is any other common sense shit you can imagine Quite honestly... after taking this class... it made me really worried that people that don't know this and need this information still being able to carry is scary as fuck.
Fun fun. Speaking of. When we going shooting? I invited Capstone 88 next time I go. Royal range in Nashville is pretty bad as a.
In Texas the class was more concerned with when you shoot and he legality of it. Where you can and can't carry. They explained this was not a class for intro to shooting. However when we went to the firing line the guy next to me who was younger obviously had no clue bc he was loading rounds into the magazine backwards. Instructor stopped him and told him he would need to come back after he learned to shoot.
Anthony Marfione custom Sigil MK6, collaboration with D. Monroe Marfione is the owner/inventor of Microtech knives. I think it's one ugly bastard of a knife, especially for $900, but the quality of their stuff is hard to question. And no, it does not shoot 9mm.
Not hating, do what makes you jizz. I would spend that shit on the baddest shooting schools I could find.
I can put holes in paper like a motherfucker, not a fan of rolling around on the ground and getting dirty first though.
Part of me wants a couple AdV's, but I've heard from many who say he's a colossal asshole of a human and collectors shouldn't support him. I'm torn, I adore his tank-like built knives.
There was a guy in my class that had to have help from the instructor passing the written test, all I could think was holy shit this man is going to be allowed to carry a firearm now.
Oklahoma is 4 hours classroom, 4 hours range. The classroom is all legal stuff, the 4 hours range are to demonstrate your ability to safely discharge your weapon. Had my M9 qualification form from the AF so they waved my range portion.
I had a person who was clearly not totally there in my cc class. During the class time he couldn't help but shout random stuff about himself such as: he was a Vietnam vet who apparently was a machine gunner, had killed multiple people, and that it wasn't really that big of a deal. Said his daughter got molested by her step-father and that he once shot a bunch of times at a truck he suspected of stealing his calves. The gun he brought to the range was still in its Cabelas bag and the instructor had to help him figure out how to shoot it. I am very uneasy knowing he passed.
It really is alarming how easy the exam is for CC. What's even more alarming is that they only require a 75% to pass. What's even more alarming than that is that some people that attempt to get CC still struggle to obtain a 75% on an exam that is easy as fuck that they just spent 4 hours immediately prior going over everything the need to pass exactly. Then, if the individual fails.... they can always sign up again. Furthermore... these exams are left up to instructor discretion and in a state where the instructors are allowed to run these courses as a business in which they make their living.. I see a HUGE conflict of interest. I think CC programs are great but this is 110% what is wrong with them.
In Philly you don't have to do a goddamn thing but fill out an app with 3 references and wait 45 business days. No training, no course, no test.
See... this is a fucking problem. I'm all for RESPONSIBLE gun ownership. I'm all for a national CC law. But please, dear god, make it something that we as Americans have faith in the fact that those that obtain the national CC permit are in fact not retarded, mentally ill, of financial means to just pay for the license, etc. etc. CC programs are a step in the right direction but jesus... there's nothing to stop someone that is a schizo from paying for the class, passing the test, passing at the range, and then BOOM.
