9mm Target Gun

[gyrfalcon]

believe it or not gyrfalcon, there are 9mm pistols out there that feel better in the hand, are more comfortable, have better triggers, shoot nicer, and have better groups at more than 20 yards than glocks.

believe it or not user293, I actually own a number of such pistols and while a glock might not be as accurate as a thompson encore it's damn accurate.

At 20 yards if your groups are bad it's not the glock, it's YOU.

Name a pistol that a glock is more accurate than. Hi point doesn't count.

This is a simple issue of the use of "accurate" or "accuracy". The gun isn't inaccurate. You may not be either. It's what gun you can accurately shoot. I have a feeling that if you put a dozen guns in a dozen vices, they won't be that far off from each other. If you personally don't accurately shoot a Glock, don't get one. Same goes for a [pistol make/model]. I can't shoot 1911's worth a damn. Just is what it is.

+1... unless we're talking musket balls

This has nothing to do with the statistical accuracy of a glock. All this proves is that some guy can fling lead and hit a 12 MOA target a couple times PRONE.

This would equate to being able to hit a 3" target at 25 yrds sometimes, PRONE.

That is ******* accuracy for a handgun.

Read a more scientific analysis of why the glock is really just a close quarters tool.

I have both the CZ75B SA and Shadow. The 75SA is as good as any "out of the box" for accuracy that I have in my possession. The Shadow is very nice also...trigger was a bit too light for my tastes though.

I don't know the price... but I see that Sig Sauer has started making P210's again....

No such thing!

Springfield 1911 Loaded, 9mm, 5", Stainless

Mine looks just like this except for a FO front sight. I also sent it in to the Springfield Custom Shop for a blended magwell and a trigger job.

That would be a cool gun if it was a 45

You should check out the Walther PPQ.

Got one in 45, love it. My only thought was to have something just a little different, otherwise this was my original plan.
