Re: Gun Sales In May Hit Record Again
Me too.
I have 2 liberal friends in particular (who don't know each other) who keep asking me questions via text, but...I'm not well versed in firearms, TBH. I usually defer to my other friends who are.
They think I know all about them though because of my political persuasion...which I think is funny.
Regardless, 2 people who I thought NEVER would come around on the gun argument...have.

Re: Gun Sales In May Hit Record Again
Have you watched Paul Harrell on youtube. At first when I saw him I thought "who is this gun nut jackwad" but he's kind of infectious. Very measured, a dry sense of humor and kind of goofy. Dude knows firearms. Some might disagree with what he has to say but he knows a LOT. Whether you agree with him or not, there is useful information to be learned watching his videos.
I own one gun and several old air guns btw. I'm not a big gun guy by any means. I bought the Ruger more as a gadget guy and bucket list thing. I don't get to shoot any of my guns nearly as much I want. My wife has expressed a desire to shoot guns lately (way before the tragic stuff going on now) but when she saw one of my pellet pistols the other day she was like "WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT!?!!!!!!". I was shooting a beer can in back yard. I was like, "I've had this for years!". So it's hard to read her.

Re: Gun Sales In May Hit Record Again
Now that the ranges are opening back up near me, I'm going to try and get over there and put a few rounds through this and dial in my scope.
Also, because I finally got around to getting my HQL, I'm going to get a handgun as well. I really like the 1911's...I like that single stack pistol. I know everyone loves Glock, but honestly...I've shot a few different Glock pistols and I've never been overly fond of them.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

Re: Gun Sales In May Hit Record Again
Funny. Ive got a G17 which is a great gun, goes bang every time but not the most ergonomic gun. rRecently bought a HKVP9. Went to the range to shoot them booth... shoot the Glock much better. Go figure. After this settles down and stores get inventory again Ill probably get a G48 or G19 as my carry gun and retire the HK, but thats what Im using for now.

Re: Gun Sales In May Hit Record Again
I have owned a G19 gen 3 &4.
Simple 5tools that do what they are intended to as reliably as possible. The safety, is IMO, perfect.
I have only shot a 100 rounds or so through a. 1911 at a range but in my less than huge hands found the ergonomics rather antiquated and off.
YMMv.
I am NOT a fan of the sub-compact frame Glocks. To me, it was very unnerving have my pinky off the handle.
1911s sure can be beautiful. Kimber, Wilson, many great choices, just not my cup of tea.

Re: Gun Sales In May Hit Record Again
A lot of people don't care for the safety "squeeze" mechanism on the upper handle of the modern 1911's. I have heard of them going off when guys tried to pull them out of holsters.
I'll have to shoot some other glocks...and some other models. I just felt like a lot of the Glocks had "wide/thick" handles/grips? Maybe I'm weird. I dont know. :)
I may try out some revolvers as well.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.
