Yeah it actually is pretty amazing how cheap guns are, but there really isn't all that much to em in terms of machining. Like your average handgun these days is basically a brick of metal with a few cuts matched to an injection molded polymer frame. Then since guns are durable, used guns are even cheaper and basically just as good as new ones since most shooters absolutely never put enough rounds through their firearms to actually wear them out.
Just get a glock 19
Anybody who tells you to get a 10mm as a first gun is either a complete goof or doesn't like you very much.
Is it worse than being recommended a 5.7 for a first time purchase? Didn't seem to end well on the tranch.
I meant to say 19, I misremembered and was thinking 20 for some reason
They need to make more grip modules. The stock one is too small for my hands. I run the large backstrap on my G45
IMEZ Russian Makarov chambered in .380 acpSomeone told me a Glock2019 (my dumbass misremembered and wrote 20)as a hand gun suggestion. You guys have any other suggestions for a first time hand gun?
Listen, here's what you do. You get a glock 19. Then you get it milled or you get a decent optics plate (my recommendation is forward control design MOS plates) then you get an optic that costs more than the gun, then you get a x300T and then you never shoot the thing like all the redditors
We indeed do in this same subforum.
While there is nothing bad about a glock and they are very reliable guns I personally don't enjoy shooting them. I do enjoy shooting a walther quite a bit and my ruger lcp max is better to me than any glock i've ever handled. Also have a sig 365xl that is okay. I'd try shooting a Glock 19 and if you don't hate it you should be good.Someone told me a Glock2019 (my dumbass misremembered and wrote 20
Even if they were available, I still can’t add back straps to make them big enough for my hands. To shoot pistols effectively you need room for your support hand on the grip.
I, myself specifically in this case, had success with the "revolver" hold, as demonstrated by Paul suggesting its use with the 92fs to nobody in particular but as an option and specifically to large-frame handguns,
Bersa is about the only one I can think of that meets all 3 criteria with the TPR X/XT. They're actually really nice, reminds me of the p 89 not as bulky.
Glock 19 is fine, there’s nothing wrong with Glocks. I carry a 19 sometimes despite the fact my one true love for CCW is pocket guns. I’d still recommend a Taurus tx-22 for a first gun along with electronic ear muffs, and about 2-3k rounds of ammo. Get bulk ammo in 500 round bricks and a few sticks of cci stingers or minimags to see what actually good 22 ammo is like.
I don’t see any of the top guys doing this, and I’m sure there is good reason. I’m interested in performance based shooting and being fast and accurate.I've had success with the "revolver" hold, as demonstrated by Paul suggesting its use with the 92fs,
regardless of the grip size on guns as opposed to the thumb-forward hold. But that's just me.
