Haha, for sure. Many a bad guy (good ones, too) have thought the same thing.... awww, cute!yikes wrote:My bro-n-law just picked up a G40 and G37 for him and my sister. They're soooooooo cute.
I think I already posted this but I shot a friends 10mm compact Glock a couple weeks ago. That gun is anything but cute. Angry, ugly, pissed off... and damn fun to shoot!
Roger. Good guns. I was super close to switching to ditching the M&P and going to a Glock platform because I couldn't get magazines for my M&P's... magazines are available again. All is well in the world.yikes wrote:Correction....it was a G26 and G27...the little compact 2 finger pistols. 9mm and .40 cal

Browning Hi-Power...... all steel construction, 13 rounds, accurate, comfortable, deadly. Just get rid of the magazine disconnect and its a great pistol.yikes wrote:No CCW. Target and home defense.

If your ok to do a little machining

Re: The Gun Thread
I got a kimber custom II and I love it. You can get it for under a grand. If I was going 1911 I would go kimber and full size .45. Super accurate. Just buy the 8rd clips for it and its not bad. I love mine.yikes wrote:Heavy steel. Not interested in light weight or compact. Not planning to carry. I liked the idea of a 9 to keep ammo costs down (vs .45's), but it looks like the rounds don't stay on the shelf long these days. .40's I'm told are more available, possibly due to being a common round for law enforcement?Ford 4 US wrote:Do u like plastic or steel
Nick - I like 1911's. Their not as comfortable as some, but I like a little uncomfortable and heavy. Feels like a weapon and maintains my respect of it. Personally I feel less likely to make a mistake with a gun that forces my attention. No, I don't want a Desert Eagle. Haha!
Back to the question, but let's say a standard .45 1911 to calm the purist. Best value? Kahr maybe? Would love a Kimber, or Springfield, but hoping for a nice piece for well under a grand.
