Does every branch have their own side arm now?

Notice the Screaming Eagles emblem on the side of the helmet.

Modular, so girl hands will fit it. And every Sig i get my hands on is blocky and heavier than it should be.
Sig is very overrated.

I rented a SIG 320 and was not particularly impressed, as there was nothing about it that was any better than a whole lot of other striker-fired handguns. Didn’t hate it, didn’t like it.

I did not know ergonomics was something which could be quantitatively measured (“greater” vs. “lesser”). I’ve always thought of it as something which depended on a qualitative analysis ( “better” vs. “worse”).

My Sig Sauer P320SC subcompact and P320F full-size pistols are my favorites and the result of trading through many other brands and models over the years. The subcompact is my favorite. I do have a Glock 42, which is great when I have limited concealability. I use the P320F for competitive IDPA and USPSA matches.

I’ll give them $100 a piece for their 4-month-old Glock 19s...

Sure it can!

Anybody for whom the Glock grip angle is a “natural pointer” has a deformed wrist!

I wonder how much they wasted by adopting the glock for such a short period of time.

But that means you think it has poor ergonomics, not that it has “less” ergonomics than some other weapon.

I don’t know, but my offer stands. $100 per pistol.

Come on now, let’s not drive up the price.

Why not conspire with me to get them for $100 a piece and then we’ll split them 50-50.

I mean, what’s a little bid-rigging among friends, right?

;-)

Probably as good as any and better than most.

We really do have a lot of great handguns to choose from now. The Beretta model 92 is probably as reliable as any handgun ever but it does have a large grip.

Unfortunately I can’t afford a new handgun right now. I have two old Browning Hi-Powers which are perfectly good but I would pick something else, a double action, if I could pick any one I wanted.

Actually if I could just choose one it would not be a 9mm but a full size Glock 10mm even if it is not DA. Can’t remember the model numbers.

Nothing wrong with that.

No, it means that “less” people need to adjust their grip to compensate for the angle.
