I need a new handgun...lets talk guns today. :D

Someone has quite the memory. And I still stand by my previous statement. But Darwin's theory was right on the money. Ever seen the video of the dude getting hit hat blown off as he looks down the barrel of a shotgun? Lots of people out there plenty capable of fucking up the simplest of tasks.

 

Yay black friday

Talon grips to the rescue.

Now I just need to get to the range and zero the RMR on this one and the one on the P320.

 

Am I the only one who goes outside before utilizing the decocker after chambering a round?

 

Here are the 3 largest .45’s that I have for comparison. I didn’t include my smaller ones because they aren’t in the same category.

Sig P227 TACOPS
H&K 45
FNX 45



The HK is the lightest, and narrowest.
The FNX is the “fattest”, which is why the grip is just as short as the HK, but the FNX holds 15+1 rounds compared to HK only holding 10+1.

The FNX mags being fatter puts the rounds more side by side, so it can hold more rounds in a shorter mag. The HK is so narrow that even though it is technically a double-stack, the rounds are damn near on top of each other.

The TACOPS holds 14+1.

Side note, when I laid the Springfield XD 45 on top of the HK, they are the same length, but the XD holds 12 rounds (2 more than the HK).

I’ve got some 13 round mags on order for the HK.

I’ll report back once I’ve been to the range. I’ll take all of them and shoot them back to back to get a good comparison.

 

Completely unrelated, but I just walked in the bedroom and remembered something.

The H&K VP9L Tactical has by far the best/brightest sights I’ve ever seen.

It stays right beside the bed, on the nightstand and it isnt even on the top shelf. It sits on a shelf underneath the top, so it doesn’t get that much exposure to light.

But I can go piss at 3am, and I will be able to see the sights glowing from all the way across the room.

 

Sweet.....I'll take the FN

 

The HK looks badass with the John Wick Compensator on it.

But I had to make a choice between the Compensator or a light. So I took it off and put the light back on it.

I just wanted to put a Comp on it and take it to the range to see if it really made a difference. It did, but the H&K had the least recoil of any of them (45s) anyway.

 

You do realize Tritium sights don't need "recharging"? They kind of generate their own light https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tritium_radioluminescence

 

Anyone have any experience with https://www.itargetpro.com/

 

Wellillbedamned. I honestly didn’t know that.

I’ve always known the Tritium sights were good, but I have never actually taken the time to look that shit up.

That shotgun looks badass!

 

Nice on the safe!! They're all sold out for any of the locations by me.

 

They're good for about 5-7 years and they'll need to be replaced.

 

I might be a bit biased but I think you’re going to be very happy with it.

 

Anyone tried a Springfield Ronin in 45? I don't have anything in 45 caliber and have been jonesing for one for a while.

 

The Ronin is kinda odd to me. They talk about it’s “tactical” rear sight and “speed” trigger (whatever that means) yet no front strap stippling or ambi-safety. I have several Springfield Custom 1911’s so I’m a huge fan of their pistols, I just don’t see the niche that the Ronin is supposed to fit.

 

Traded my mpr for this S&W 1911 ta plus cash. May change out the light if anyone has suggestions on a light/ place to buy a holster

 

what made you go with the obsidian 45 can?
