After looking at 45ACPs after owning Ed Brown

Riverpigusmc · #1 01-28-2012, 04:54 PM

I owned a Glock 21 and also a 30, both of course in .45 ACP. They went bang every time, and were fairly accurate and easy to clean. Notice I said "owned". They had the feel and soul of a brick, and almost impossible to conceal carry without a briefcase. The 21 was just HUGE, and I have big hands and carry a fullsize 1911 every day. But, if that's what you want and like, then get one. My only thought on lasers on weapons is just like flashlights on weapons..they can attract bullets from a bad guy as easy as send bullets INTO a bad guy..just my opinion, YMMV

I currently own a G21SF. I will tell you that it goes bang every single time. The reason I purchased it was that I wanted to keep the manual of arms in the house as simple as possible, and Mrs was used to the G19. Would I buy it again? No, I wouldn't. It's thicker than my 1911's, and harder for me to conceal. (Just my honest opinion). Is it a quality weapon? YES. Is it accurate? Yes. Reliable? It's a Glock. Mind you... although I wouldn't buy one again... I'd be hard pressed to not take it with me in a true bug out situation.

All this said... no, mine's not for sale! (chuckling)

Shooter, besides what I PM'd you earlier, I'll add that I only have experience with Lasergrips on my pistols and on my wife's M&P. I like them.

Yeah, I'm on my 3rd 1911 with CT's, I'm pretty much sold on them also. Mike

well I have owned a few Glock 20's including a SF I personally couldn't tell the difference in size. The 20 Is the same size of the 21. I have been carrying mine for the past week no issues oh did you mention Crimson Trace?

I can't speak to the Glock question - I've never owned one. My nightstand gun is an XDm 9mm. It has a Streamlight light/laser combo on the rail that I'd highly recommend if you decide to go with something that is rail mounted.

I have a

for the simple reason that they work well and if I am not home the wife can pick it up and just shoot no questions asked, no fumbling safteys, nothing to do but pull the trigger. I have a

23 that is ported and do like it, but not nearly as accurate at any of my 1911's and not a purdy either! Glad I own one but will only own the one....

Didn't you give me crap about owning a Kimber? If not, I'm still gonna give you a hard time about your Glick. Look your's even has headlights.....

I would go crawling back and see if I could get the 1911 back. LOL I don't understand how a 1911 was to much gun but you are now looking at high cap 45's. I use CT's for practice only. They will show off your trigger management issues. IMHO I think lasers are to slow. I prefer fundamentals and a good sight picture.
