Guns, Bows, Shooting Sports, and Hunting Springfield Armory or Glock

[SHobbs]

Seems to be a toss up on a brand to go with. I do like the safety on the H and K. The trigger safety on the Glocks concerns me a little. If you need to draw it would you remember to NOT touch the trigger? I know kinda petty but, it is in the back of my mind. Kimber Ultra Carry II seems to be on the small side, does it effect accuracy, not sure. I have a few gun stores in mind so I can get my hands on a few of these to see which one I like better. I do appreciate all the comments and please keep them coming.

If you get a Glock, be sure and get a trigger protecting carry case. Most have it anyway, but I've seen some that allowed your finger on the trigger when drawing..... as for keeping your finger off the trigger, you can learn how to do that, and if the holster doesn't have a finger hole, that helps. I draw and put my finger on the forward trigger guard. You never cover the trigger until your ready to shoot. If you're in a desperate situation, you go ahead and finger the trigger. If you fire early, you still may hit your assailant low. Reciol helps bring it up, so trippple tappp. One good thing on the newer pistols, they usually have rearward canted grips, which helps with aiming. And pointing your finger down the trigger guard helps you aim, as well. With your finger straight down the side of the frame on the triggerguard, you can point at your target, and where on that target you want to be. This helps you train yourself with that pistol and it's feel.



The Springfield has the grip safety, so you can't shoot it unless you have a good grip on it, same as the 1911s. I like that. I think it's kept many people from shooting themselves. My problem with the H & K is I don't think it's worth the money difference, IMHO.

Went with the Kimber Stainless Ultra Carry II. Coworker had one he wanted to sell and I was surprised just how good it fit in my hand. It's just a little larger than my Bersa Thunder . 380. So far I am very happy with it.



I also added a 1903 Springfield to my collection. Took a while to find one that I wanted and finally found one. Receiver serial number, barrel date and stock are all correct for the year 1934. Also came with an M1907 sling with original markings, B. T & B. Co. which I understand was sometime around the early 1900's.

Yep, you won't be dissapointed, I bet.



Still a few of the '03s floating around... . lots of fake and repro accessories, too. I had one that had been opened up to 30 Gibbs. It shot pretty well, but I didn't keep it. I just didn't like the feel of it, my preference. I've had a couple of the Lend-Lease rifles, with the yellow paint on the stock. They're pretty rough.



Let us know how it shoots.
