Re: First Firearms II
 

My dept. just got 3 Wyndham Weaponry .223s for the patrol cars. I've tested two optics so far that are "cheap" and I can't recommend them to the boss man. Anyone have other red dot type optic suggestions? Boss was on a entry team and he wanted Colt Commandos with full auto but this little dept. doesn't have the funds for those or the Trijicon sight he had either! If money were no object we'd be ok. We might and I say that with a big gulp, might be able to float $600-1,000 total for 3 optics.

Re: First Firearms II
 

I run an Eotech and it is perfect, I have the short bodied XPS that takes the standard 123 battery, love it! Other guys like the small Aimpoint, personal preference I suppose.

Re: First Firearms II
 

Take a look at the Vortex line of optics. The SPARC II is only around 200 each and is a great micro red dot and it carries a lifetime, no questions asked guarantee. ;) I have one on one of my rifles and love it!

You can also look at Primary Arms. I have no experience with them but they get great reviews as one of the best budget options available.

Re: First Firearms II
 

Aimpoint PRO possibly.

Re: First Firearms II
 

Anybody here like Browning High Powers? Lately some Mark III models have been imported from Israel. They were police/military issue for many years. I would guess there can't be that many left in the supply pipeline. Conditions vary but I just got a pretty nice one for about $500 plus tax.

New production BHP's run about twice that. And since FN/Browning has gone full tilt into making polymer handguns now, I believe the day of the High Power is coming to an end soon.

Re: First Firearms II
 

eotech, aimpoint pro, or vortex sparc ii

Re: First Firearms II
 

I think his department would be hard pressed to buy 3 eotechs or aimpoints for 1k.

Re: First Firearms II
 

Anyone considering new Glock 43?
I think I am sold, just going to wait for hype to die down and price to normalize.

Re: First Firearms II
 

That's a great little carry piece right there.

Haven't heard much about them. What's supposed to be different with the 43 vs their others on the market currently?

Re: First Firearms II
 

cuz its a glock. ;)

Re: First Firearms II
 

I'll stick with my Shield :tu

Re: First Firearms II
 

Glock model 43 is a single column 9mm. A bit bigger than the G42 in .380, but closer to it in size than any of their other (double stack) offerings.

Guy at the range let me try out his model 43 last week. Very comparable to the 9mm S&W Shield in handling, recoil, etc. as you might expect.

Re: First Firearms II
 

I just pulled it up online. Smart idea to do the single stack. Is that Glocks first attempt at doing a single stack design?

Re: First Firearms II
 

g42 was a single stack 380

Re: First Firearms II
 

Nah. The 36 I believe is a single stack .45 ACP. I think that was their first.

Re: First Firearms II
 

Yeah but the G36 is almost as chunky as the double column G30. Both are in .45acp by the way.

And yes emo the G42 is a single stack .380. I have one and rather like it. However it cried out for "pinky" extension floor plates on the magazines. For me it made the gun a ton more shootable but still fits in a front pocket.

I've only once laid eyes on and handled the legally-very-hard-to-import Model 28, a double column .380. It is the same size as the models 26 and 27, as best I remember.

Re: First Firearms II
 

I love my Shield which is what I think this Glock will be like in size but do love the way Glocks perform also and what the heck, who can ever have too many guns?:D

Re: First Firearms II
 

Just got off the range, to took some hot .223 brass right down the back of my shirt, gotta love that....ouch!

Re: First Firearms II
 

That'll make you move quick Remo!

Re: First Firearms II
 

Ya, sucks. Just gotta take it, guys shooting next to you, gotta keep your barrel down range .

Re: First Firearms II
 

I've been out of the loop with glocks. Last one I owed was ten plus years ago and I sold it within a year of having it. They shoot well and function well but I keep going back to nineteen elevens.

Gotta love doing the hot brass dance. ;)

Re: First Firearms II
 

Love the challenge of the range with flip flops for that special hot brass between toes effect. :r

Re: First Firearms II
 

Luckily the range I go to most often has some nice screen barriers that you can roll down to keep that from happening!

One of my buddies has a shotgun that I swear ejects shells about 15 feet. We always make sure we are on the proper side of him when shooting clay or else a shell will smack you right in the face!

I love the smell of Hops in the morning...

Re: First Firearms II
 

I got on Glock's bc its our dept. issue, I carry the G22 duty carry and G42 BUG. 1911's look cool, and have alot of history but I couldn't imagine carrying it on my hip all day, even CCWing I'd be scared my pants would fall off:D

Re: First Firearms II
 

I carry the Glock 23 on my hip and CCW. Great size gun.

Re: First Firearms II
 

My 21 is my favorite handgun to shoot. Power and accuracy.

Re: First Firearms II
 

Thats what i shall be getting issued soon :)

Re: First Firearms II
 

It could be me or just the weight of fun but I find the recoil to push gun at you rather than flipping tip of barrel up. Makes it super easy for a tight grouping.
The sound of a 45 going off is priceless.
Only negative is weight but I always say if it jams, I'll throw it at their head.
It's my bedroom defense weapon with a Crimson Trace just in case.

Re: First Firearms II
 

To me the 45ACP round pushes more than 40S&W. To me the recoil impulse of the 40 is more snappy than 45.

Re: First Firearms II
 

Picked this M1A up for my dad who has a birthday coming up next month. I really want to shoot it. ;)

I've been wanting a HK pistol for awhile I was considering a P30 until I heard about the VP40 decided to go that route instead.

Re: First Firearms II
