Well some of you know I am headed to Africa for a hunting safari this may. I decided to test my willpower by stopping by my LGS. With a sizeable pile of money for Africa burning a hole through my wallet, I figured Id try out some pistols that are in my list to buy once I get back
I am thinking DW pointman or specialist, then the m&p competitor. I also saw that Glock released the model 28 and will probably get one of those
- S&W all metal competitor - WOW an awesome edition of the M&P. The trigger was nothing like the polymer models, had some takeup with a very light break. I think I might buy this to use as my church carry gun with an SRO
- S&W 1911sc e series scandium 1911 - Lightweight, front stippling is good but not as good as dw,great trigger but slide takes effort to pull back. Not sure how the light frame would do with 45 recoil
- Dan Wesson Pointman 9 - Simply outstanding in everyway. The slide is like butter. Effortless to move.Trigger is probably the I best have ever felt. Weight and balance are perfect. Front checkering is aggressive as it should be.
- Beretta 92x SA only model - This pistol would be excellent but the front stippling is non existent. Wth beretta? Trigger is excellent. I think id still buy one but the smoothness in the grip is not good. RDO ready though
I havent even brushed on my rifle to buy list yet. Anyone own an m&p competitor?
A scandium framed S&W Commander has been my EDC for 20 years. If you have enough money to buy the ammo to break the frame then the cost of the firearm is moot.
Also remember that the lightweight commander has been around longer than you've been alive.
Of course a 45 ACP commander has a stronger recoil spring than a full size 9mm. I've met ya, you're a strapping lad. If my old broken hands can do it I know you can.
