Quote HistoryQuoted: HK USP's Yep, this plus glocks. I respect glocks and I even own one, as well, but I'm not a glock fanboy by any means. As far as polymer pistols go, the Smith & Wesson M&P series of guns are my preferred choice of sidearm while the 1911's get my vote when it comes to steel framed handguns. As for the H&K USP's, they just never felt good to me. Ergonomically, I felt like I was holding a 2x4 stud in my hand. |

FAL on a good day they shoot 8 MOA and they are very ammo finicky. I have 3. Great Ergonomics, shitty execution. yep a lot of designs I could nit pick them and send them back to the drawing board for a redraft. The FAL could have been better if they mounted both of the rights on one half! The inch triggers aren't that bad.....for a combat rifle. The ergonomics were good but people still complain about them. They were different than the m14, garand, and ar. The Garand design was pretty good for it's day but the achille's heel to me is the clamp system holding it all together. Fine for a battle rifle but a bit lacking for the long haul accuracy as the wood gets compressed. (not a problem for a long army supply train with armorer support). I love the ergos of the hi power and CZ. The high power needs a trigger job and the CZ's mostly just have a trigger that's out of reach for small hands. Colt Pythons......are slick but I prefer the staging feel on the Smiths. Oh and most rugers just feel like paving bricks to me. The best bargain per pound though.

Not into 1911 so much...low capacity, expensive, don't like the sights.
Not into Glocks so much...don't like the sights and grip angle. Not into Hi Powers so much...grip doesn't fit me too well. Not into Garands...too bulky and heavy. |

As a young kid, my dad raised me up on colt and ruger single action .22 caliber revolvers so, by the time I became an adult, I was completely used to single action triggers and my 1911 purchases just cemented that even more for me. I'm an old dog now and I just don't have any desire to learn any new tricks. |

Polymer pistols, striker fired pistols. My first gun was a Glock, and it works well enough. It sits in my nightstand to this day, but it just has no soul.
Besides, I prefer CZ's.
Bull pups. I respect what they can do, but they have weird ergonomics to me. Haven't shot one yet, but I am not in a hurry to. Sig P210. Was always one of my grail guns, and I guess in a way it kind of still is. I love the history of them and respect the craftsmanship. I thought shooting one would be a life changing experience...and it was just kind of..meh I mean it is accurate and nice to shoot, but it didn't do anything more for me than a high quality 1911 would. Just doesn't feel like a gun that is worth the price tag it demands. Maybe my expectations were just too high. Good gun, but not worth the hype I had given it IMO. Plus with it being a full sized single stack 9mm, there really isn't much practical use for it outside of bulls eye shooting at the range. Revolvers. I have an sp101 in 22lr. It is nice looking and very well made, just not a fan of wheel guns in general I suppose. It's probably been 2 years since I shot the thing. |
