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

EXCELLENT trade. The cz75b is still one of the best feeling guns in my hand that I've ever held. Liked it so much I went out and bought one new. Problem was I never shot it much the first time, and found those skinny good feelings grips actually suck for me. I was super inconsistent with my aim. Eventually sold it to fund my FNP45, which is the best pistol I've ever shot.

 

Interesting that you say that because changing out the grips is first on my list. Well, first is to actually shoot the damn thing

 

Too be honest I never had an issue with any magazines until we switched to the Sig from Glocks.
Well I guess that’s not true...

The Glocks we were always told to download one from the mags. But I never had a magazine failure issue.

We were all re-issued new magazines for the Sigs.

As a run down...
I’m my career from 1994 to 2019 with the Pennsylvania State Police I was issued :

Beretta 96D (silver in color) 40 cal

They were then replaced after a few years with a new:
Beretta 96D (black in color). Standard replacement. were replaced because the life expectancy and use of the weapons was calculated and it was just time. The second Beretta was then replaced as the department was seeking a new caliber.

The department then went to Glock:
Glock was a 37.
Huge mistake by the department. The department went this route with concern of females on the job not being able to handle a full size 45 frame. The .45 GAP round fit the bill. Power of .45 acp round but shorter to fit in a more compact gun. The caliber never really caught on with other agencies. Supply issues and costs were high so the department then went to the:
Glock 21 in .45 acp. We had this gun for I think one year. The recall issues with the 4 gen 21 ended the Glock.

Sig 227 in 45 acp was next and what is still issued.


I worked in our Bureau of Criminal investigations in either an organized crime unit, narcotic unit and was detached to the DEA for a few years so I rarely carried our full size duty carry guns. I would use them on search warrant entries and other specific planned tactical situations but for me a large portion of my career was as a UC so I carried compact guns I could hide easily.

But to your point yes I’m sure they could also be an issue from use standpoint.

Had a delivery today some may consider interesting...2 pallets - 145 cases - of ammo, 9mm and 5.56 all ball. 4176 lbs! Guy wasn't expecting it yet as he ordered it Monday. I had it on my truck yesterday but broke down and didn't get there before they closed.

 

Yeah, that was a mistake...it was supposed to go to me so I'll just go ahead and send you my address ok thanks!

 

Does anybody have one of these Taurus TX22's? Seems like a neat rimfire pistol - and 16rds instead of the standard 10. $250 after rebate.

That's $250 before rebate. Damn, tempting...

 

That's right. The email says "$199.99 after rebate". And all the reviews seem positive.

 

Yes it is!

 

No mention of the new Springfield Hellcat???

3" micro-compact 9mm. 11 round magazine and 13 round magazine with micro dot optics ready.

Looks pretty damn tempting.

I saw that and agree. Very tempting!

Kel-tec P17 is $199 msrp. I want to shoot both before buying one, but for those prices, i may just buy both.

New toy! One of the first in SC.

Springfield 9mm Hellcat

A smidge bigger than my Glock 42 which was just a tad small for my bear paws. With the extended magazine, this thing fits perfectly in my hand.

Can't wait to get to the range with it.

 

Super cool. Have you tried the Sig 365? Curious to hear a comparison of the two.

 

I have not, but the dealer I bought the Hellcat from has the Sig on their rental range.

It may be to late for me, but I could do a comparo for ya.

 

If you don’t mind

My local range has them for sale (the 365) but not to demo unfortunately.

 

bought a 509 tactical last week. was supposedly "used" but pretty sure never fired outside the factory.

headed to a show in FL next week, might see if I can get an Apex trigger for it, they are supposed to be there.

 

Only thing I notice on the Hellcat is the optics version has an LCI hole right on top. Sig is currently replacing barrels on the X5 Legion's because debris shoots up through there and fogs the optic. Might be something to wait a bit and see if that is happening after some people get rounds through them.

 

I did not get the optic ready version.
