Borrow and shoot someone's DA revolver.

My old 686 is less prone to an ND than the G19 I used to have.
For matches, I use my black diamond composite.
Draw a hot 1911 with the safety off, place it on the table.
Without touching any controls except the trigger, fire one round from each weapon.
Was there a different firing process between the two?
You've probably seen this jack-ass. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4322659058549628092#
“one-day sales of pistols in Arizona leapt 60% on January 10 - the Monday after the shooting, compared to the previous week.”
Can we lighten the typical lib hysteria here?
A 60% “leapt” over the previous week could be 16 sold this week vs 10 sold the previous week.
Comments from elected officials, Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA), pushing for even more gun control, make me incensed.
Folks are purchasing the weapons because they are afraid gov't will take them off the market. That says a whole lot about our gov't.
I’m definitely shelling out for one. It looks perfect for concealed carry.
Well, it’s been so long since the boating accident in which they were lost, I can hardly remember... But it seems like mine had a 1951 stamp. :)
"Who do you get to help you pull the trigger?"
LOL! It does have a...stiff...DA pull. 16 lbs., or so I'm told. I put a Wolff spring kit in mine. It helped considerably. My wife still can't pull it.
Not the same at all, but the Glock does require a good holster that completely covers the trigger guard. It's more like carrying a double action revolver, except the Glock has a lot better trigger. The Springfield XD is very similar to the Glock, but has a grip safety as well, which could be a plus or not, depending upon how you look at it. Treat all guns with respect and you shouldn't have a problem.
I’ve been wanting a P250 ever since they came out with that model.
Keith Olberman just announced that he is packing an Armineus .22 with an 8 shot cylinder...so that he can “overpower any conservative nitwit with a Glock...”. He further stated that any “redneck retard conservative” that challenged him would have to reckon with his high-capacity cylinder...
;_; I tear up just thinking about it. Ah, for the good old days...
In .45 ACP:
1. Para-Ord P.13-45 — a 14-shot (13+1) version of the M1911A1.
2. G.I. M1911A1.
3. Colt Combat Commander, Series 70 with CTC LaserGrips.
4. Glock 21 with 2-round extension on magazines (15 rounds+1)
In 9x19 NATO ((mm Para):
1. Browning Mk 2 No 1* (Inglis) Hi-Power (13+1).
2. Beretta 92FS with CTC LaserGrips (15+1).
3. Glock 17 (1st Gen) with 2-round extender (19+1) and LaserGrips.
4. Walther P.1 (8+1).
In .38 Special/.357 Mag:
1. Colt Trooper Mk III with 7-5/8 barrel in .357 Mag.
2. S&W Snubbie with LaserGrips in .38 Special.
Analysis:
1. Both revolvers are very accurate (surprising for a snubbie). LaserGrips wroks great for quick targeting. Long sight radius makes the .357 a tack driver.
2. Walther P.1 is exceptionally accurate. Inglis HP is accurate and has an outstanding trigger pull for a HP. Glock 17 fits the hand well, the LaserGrips aid quick targeting, and 20 rounds is a plus. The Beretta is a fine shooter, but it is thick in the grip.
3. The Para-Ord works as flawlessly as the M1911A1, except it carries six rounds of insurance. P-O grip is 1/8-inch thicker than M1911A1, but eith aluminum frame it weighs the same with 14 rounds as the M1911A1 in steel and 8 rounds. The Series 70 Combat Commander has the advantage of being smaller than the M1911A1 and LaserGrips. The Glock 21 is slightly thicker than the Glock 17, but works very well.
Likes:
1. LaserGrips for quick targeting.
2. Increased capacity of P-O, Glock 17, 21.
3. Softies on P-O, M1911A1, Combat Commander, P.1.
4. Loaded chamber indicator on P.1.
Dislikes:
1. Glock “anti-drop” safety in both pistols.
2. Thick grips on Beretta 92FS.
3. Small thumb safety on Inglis HP.
All are great, “go to war” sidearms that you can bet your life on.
Without looking, is it the ATF agent in the classroom?
A heavy trigger pull, unmodified Glock is very different from firing a cocked 1911. Very, very different.
I’ll now post and go look.
I knew it!
Cops carried revolvers without safeties (other than a holster and what happens between the ears) for decades. Now, that guy? Not much happening between the ears.
Borrow and shoot someone's DA revolver.
No need to borrow.
And a holster that covers the trigger is plenty of safety.
Quite frankly, since my holsters are all belt holsters, designed for carrying on my belt, my pistols and revolvers are only in a holster when the holster is worn on my belt. Make sense?

This sits naked on the night stand.
