The Perfect CCW Weapon

[Rick]

Is that why they had little black covers on them?

My favorite is a kimber but sigs and glocks are nice also. I find the 40 cal is a very good cal- good knockdown plus I find more accurate that 45s. I have heard some good things about the springfield and I know two guys who have them. When I go to the range next week I will try to get some feedback from them for you about that model.

[Rick]

Thanks!! I like any information I can get regardless of the subject.

Rick sorry it took so long I have just been swamped no pun intended. I was told that they are very hard to change the sights on if you want some aftermarket or high vis sights put on. They also said one had problems with the ambidextrous clip release activating when shooting but with a change of grip style it didnt happen anymore. How does it shoot? Do you like it?

[Rick]

I've had it to the range a couple of times and I really enjoy it. For a short barrel it doesn't have all that much kick and it feels "right" in my hand. My shot placement isn't all that good but improving. I just have to get used to it.

I haven't had any problems with it at all. The magazine spring is tight and you won't hand load it with more than a half dozen. The thumb loader is a must to get all 13 rounds in the clip. At least for me. I'm pretty tickled with it. I just need to find THE holster. I have some that I like but haven't found the ONE yet.

Repeat after me I will not say "CLIP" ever again when I should say "MAGAZINE". Bad dog.

[Rick]

Okay, I got one magazine and one clip so that evens out doesn't it?

[Sourdough]

You should not have a clip for your handgun, unless it is a "CLIP-ON flashlight......?

I guess you could have a "CLIP" that you use to somehow speedload the magazines....I guess....?

[Sourdough]

There is no spring, (Feed spring) on a clip, and a clip only has two sides and the back, no bottom........A clip is used for top feed blind box magazines.
Think stripper clip

[Rick]

Hey, it's my gun, dang it. I'll call it Gertrude if I want. So I took the clip out of Gertrude and pushed ever harder on the spring, 'cause it was strong, and I needed to shove them bullets into the gun. There. Guests can not see images in the messages. Please register in the forum.

[Sourdough]

I scored two turkeys they are 5 weeks old.

[Rick]

[crashdive123]

Were they drunk?

Must have had - dare I say it - Wild Turkey involved.

[Rick]

Parump bump! Hey, folks. Crash and I are here most evenings for the 5:00 and 7:00 shows. The buffet is in the corner, the bar is on your right and the jokes get funnier the more you drink.

My CCW of choice depends upon what I'm wearing, so that it's actually concealed and not bulging out for the world to notice. With cellphone and PDAs hanging from everyone's belts these days, many folks who CCW have grown careless. I often spot OC"C"Ws (Obviously Carried "Concealed" Weapons) when I'm out and about. I'll bet Ranger does, too. (Feel free to chime in on this, Ranger.)

But regardless of which caliber I CC, ( 9mm, .32 or .22) it's a BERETTA Right, Coot?

[Sourdough]

No....The school kids in Anchorage Incubated the eggs to hatchlings plus 5 weeks. There were on craigslist "FREE" my favorite price......The farm is getting bigger.
