The First Step is Admitting You Have A Problem
« on: November 11, 2007, 02:04:01 PM »
Hi, I'm Matt, and I have to face facts...

I shoot my ugly little Glock 19 better than any other gun I own.

Sigh.  You're right, it's time to come clean.

I'm RevDisk...   and... *sob*   I bought an M4 recently. 

I feel so dirty.  I know it's not a real firearm, and I swear I'm just using it for educational purposes!

Since we are under the Tree of Trust, I hate shooting tupperware no matter how much I would have liked to warm up to it.

I tried to warm up to it, having owned a G17 for a while. I just couldn't make it work for me.

I don't begrudge others owning them, but I won't be worshiping at the Altar of Gaston any time soon, nor will I be owning Tactical Tupperware again in this lifetime, save for maybe a Glock knife.

I, too, must confess: my G21 is an ugly, chunky piece of black plastic.

But, no matter how hard I try, I just cannot get it to NOT do what it is designed to do: it goes "BOOM" when I pull the trigger and I am point-and-shoot combat accurate out to a significant distance.

I can't do that with any other handgun.

Wow. You sure do read a lot into someone else's handgun preference. Can't you simply accept that your opinion is not sacrosanct?

Oh, and here's my confession.
In truth, I only own a Winchester 1400 and a Remington Viper .22.  All my other guns...are my dad's!  (That I stole.)

I shoot white tail deer with a Plain Jane 870 Remington express, 18" smooth bore with iron sights. I even shoot Brenneke KO slugs too, none of that fancy assed copper partition gold sabots here.

Hi, I'm jfruser, and it was my (new to firearms) wife who led me to consider the 1911 platform.  I tried everything else & found it worked best for her.

Now, I prefer that platform to all other semis.

How accurate is it? I thought about getting one for deer and 'yote hunting. My dad had a 742 in the 70's and he told me it would keyhole.

In my youth, I once experimented with . . . a Sig 226.

I got help!

The one I have was my Grandfather's.  It actually shoots very well as long as you use factory ammo.  It no likey handloads.  It's goshawful heavy.  Not something I'd want to lug around for long.  Plus, it's a pain in the rear to clean.
