The local Sherriff office issue them, and for the non enthusiast rank and file deputy, the gun is a nightmare. On the other hand the Glock is a service weapon, very forgiving and simple to use and maintain. In 9MM is arguably the best weapon in the world. The shooter is the safety, that's the button line.<br />Later and happy Thanksgiving to you all!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-8184785496083520452013-11-26T13:25:20.726-08:002013-11-26T13:25:20.726-08:00Glock or 1911.

Several decades ago, while visiting a friend<br />at a pistol range on an army post, I noticed that a tough Army sergeant shot one-handed -- like this:<br /><br />http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51FVXeUlcaL._SL500_AA280_.jpg<br /><br />It's reasonably accurate if you lock your elbow before firing each round.<br /><br />2) If you have the next magazine in your left hand beside your right (shooting)<br />hand, then it only takes a split second to drop magazine 1 and put in magazine 2.<br /><br />Mel Tappan recommended the "Six Pack" -- six 45 mags. Counting the one in the pistol that's 49 rounds. If you think you are going to fire more than that without being hit or ending the fight, then you are kinda optimistic.<br /><br />3) Re "something better" the CIA adopted the pistol of the future back in the 1950s:<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tU98uP7pXA8 <br /><br />Anyone want to guess why I argue that?<br /><br /><br />Don Williamsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-5406321908624242402013-11-25T14:03:59.324-08:002013-11-25T14:03:59.324-08:00"They said" the glock is the equal of t..."They said" the glock is the equal of the 1911.<br /><br />Just remember what Mr Rate said:<br /><br />"The moment you think you've got it figured ... you're wrong."<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mn60YWO218kDon Williamsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-84084987430194393922013-11-25T13:56:06.761-08:002013-11-25T13:56:06.761-08:003) The Glock 45 is an improvement on the 1911 only...3) The Glock 45 is an improvement on the 1911 only if you have hands the size of a baseball player's catching mitt.<br /><br />4) Re Glock action vs single action, IDPA insists on pistol competition that matches real life and they ban use of magic , impractical pistols. They only allow use of concealable firearms that are near stock.<br /><br />5) If you look at IDPA's rule book<br /><br />( http://www.idpa.com/compete/rules,<br />right hand side) you can see that Para 9.6 says a person qualifies as Expert with a Glock 9mm if they clear the course in 110 seconds or less. A person with a 1911 45 is given 1 second longer --111 seconds. <br /><br />That is not much more time given that multiple shots are fired and the 1911 45 acp has much higher recoil (see para 8.3.1) <br /><br />In fact, it says that a 1911 shooter can carve out 60% more wound channel volume than a Glock in about the same amount of time.<br />(Note: volume of wound channel is function of caliber SQUARED. 9mm => 81. 45 acp is 11.4 mm ==><br />130. 130/81 = 1.60. Yes, we're talking FMJ here but the greater momentum of the 45 gives similar results for hollow point.<br /><br />It takes a little over three 9mm shots to equal the wound channel of two 45ACPs. So the Glock 17 would need 110 * 1.6 or 176 secs to create the same wounds that the 1911 created in only 111 seconds.<br /><br />6) And don't tell me about brain shoots -- the likelihood of hitting the brain in a moving target is close to your chances of winning the lottery. <br /><br />The 45 stops in a way the idiotic gun magazines haven't heard about yet -- each shot blows two big holes in the perp's lung (entry/exit)-- causing explosive decompression like a tire blowout on the interstate. The 9mm only causes a slow leak --which is why you need 5 or 6 of them. <br /><br />A 45 double tap with FMJ blows FOUR big holes --two in each lung. Two collapsed lungs pressing on a perp's heart and causing it to start skipping --along with his inability to draw a breath -- gets his attention.

(I don't care for the firing pin safety in the Series 80 either.) <br /><br />Pandering to the wannabes who never shot anything other than paper targets, who couldn't shoot<br />a decent group and who would pay extra for a magic gun would fix their lack of skill.<br /><br />2) Have a good gunsmith file some looseness into it like Glock has (Google Glock Kaboom) --and like the WWII 1911s had -- and reliability will improve. Plus you might have him cut a notch into the slide rails near the front so the frame has someplace to dump the carbon it pulls off the rails.<br /><br />Don Williamsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-44954401299625075482013-11-25T08:05:14.707-08:002013-11-25T08:05:14.707-08:00William
