Nah the wookie is all about the bow caster. His partner Han usually wields the blaster.

Still waiting on op to buy a Glock

Are there any TGT members that have not replied yet?

I haven't replied yet. I guess I'll do it now.

The only 9mm that I have is 1 open end wrench, which I really, really like and I guard it with a Glock 22 gen 4, 40 S&W

Ive had a couple of folks I know buy the new Springfield HiPower clone and they like it. If I did not have the real thing I would certainly buy one myself. Here's my real HiPower that I have slightly customized using Cylinder & Slide components.

I hated Glocks for a long time. Last year I succumbed... and I have no regrets.

Nothing at all wrong with my Tupperware 17+1 Ruger.
Nice & slim for a double stack with excellent fit & finish for a very good value.

These pistols definitely don’t get the respect they deserve. Great shooters for the money & come with extra magazines.

I had one back in 2011 and shot & carried it a lot. Won a few informal competitions with it as well.

Taught a few people how to shoot with it & now it belongs to a young lady who I taught to shoot with it & now it’s her carry pistol.

I bought three SR9 and one SR45 Pistols. Gifted all except the one SR9 to family.
Paid $430 for the first 9 at a gun show in 2008, and $250 for the last one in 2019 at a closeout from Sportsman’s Warehouse.
Should’ve bought a few more to turn over a year later when the Covid panic drove prices into the crazy levels.

As someone who is new to guns, G19 was first handgun I shot and fully enjoyed.

Just got to try out Moonpie’s browning high power, and his Dan Wesson commander 9mm. And a few of his other guns.

I really liked the high power, it seemed to fit my hand well and aim naturally. I may have to pick one up once the funds become available.

I didn't read the thread... and of course this is a wide-open thing - so many choices. You don't specify pricing parameters but I gather that's not a big issue.

If pricing were an issue I would recommend the Taurus G3. It's a compact full size but it's really a great pistol. Seriously. Not too long ago I would not recommend one of their polymer pistols no way no how. But they've hit a home run with the G3 series. I own one along with a G3C which I have on my hip right now - that's how much I like these.

And I would recommend a police turn-in or otherwise used classic Sig or Smith & Wesson. They are just cool - kind of along the lines of your hi-power interest. Magazines are still available for them and they can satisfy like no new model can.

Cz also makes a fine pistol and there are a lot of fans of them. My Dad owned one and really liked it.

If you like the military association - the Berretta M9 would be a good pick too = especially if you hands are on the large side. Mine are medium-large and I found the one I owned to be comfortable for me but the trigger reach was a bit long... Cool pistols though and it would be a good mate for your 1911.

I would say you should at least check out the new Beretta APX A1.

They're definitely better than the Security-Nine series guns Ruger foisted on the market. They really need to bring back the SR-series guns.....

 

[Byrd666]

Yes they do. I'm on my second SR 9, after firing how how ever many thousands of rounds through the first. And I'd still have the first if a fantastic trade offer hadn't opened up. Worked out in my favor, got what I wanted and needed in the trade, and got the second new for less than 1/2 the price of the first one new. Great pistols, overall.

You can't go wrong with a Hi Power, but seeing as you have been with the striker fired Springfield, you might consider what they used to call their Tactical Model before they came out with the M series. 5" barrel, 17 round, and striker fired. You mentioned the other XD fitting your hand well.

 

[Sam7sf]

Kind of weird op spent time at the range with moonpie and didn’t shoot any glocks. Figured moonpie would have every model made.

Op, when are you buying a Glock?
