Guns That Have Changed Our Thinking & Why??

[fightingquaker13]

I say the same thing (minus 1 glock add 1 M&P) when I worked in Steubenville/Wheeling every morning from 4am till usually about 2pm.
Security blanket?! SURE!

And what the hell is wrong with that? Mine stood me in good stead on a dark street in Charleston. We should all have the option of having that "blanket". I haven't drunk so much Kool aid that I can't rattle off the names of a half dozen pistols I'd be happy to carry. Push comes to shove though, it would be  J frame or a Glock and 11 beats 6 every time.

Been thinking of getting a M&P just have not got around to doing it.

There are many "great" brands out there. I have a dark side approved "G" pistol and an M+P, both do what they were built to do without even a hiccup.

All I can humbly say is M+P got the chips to fall right with this one.  Maybe Santa can get one in your stocking?

Santa says no right now, been working over time to get a ak.

1) AR-platform -- I hated them...until I tried one.  Now I have 7 of different variations.  I love the modularity, ability to create what you want, variations.

2) XD -- I didn't like plastic...and my experience with Glocks confirmed that.  However, it ended up being that I didn't like the grip angle of the Glock.  My XD eats anything, shoots like a dream.  It would be my go to fighting handgun, even though my sentiments are with the 1911.

3) AK -- I thought I hated them, so I bought one to confirm.  I still don't love them but I appreciate what they can do.  I have 3 variants -- AKM, Galil, Saiga-12.  I prefer other rifles over them, however.

4) HK91/G3 -- thought I loved them...then I bought one.  Ergos are horrible and they are "clunky"....reliable and tough but not refined like a FAL or AR.  I own a PTR-91 and a CETME, but I wouldn't choose them in a bind...I wouldn't refuse one but I prefer the FAL or AR.

See, I dont like the grip angle on the XD -- or more so that you have a grip safety in conjunction with that grip angle. I'm not a big fan of the Glock grip angle, but I am used to it. I could also get used to the XD grip angle if it did not have the grip safety. I could  not 100% trust myself to have to engage a grip safety in a defensive shoot unless it was more of a true 1911 angle grip.

I also dont care for how light the trigger is on the XD.... its much like the "NY style" Glock trigger.... I much prefer the OEM Glock trigger weight

Been doing chin-ups with your trigger finger, eh?

Better pick your nose with the left finger or you'll cause brain damage.

You will never see a Glock framed on any ones wall except MAYBE Gaston's.

Even This one?

hmmm.
 I'm going to say  merkel 1620e  it converted me form single trigger to double trigger.

mini 14, total convinced me that ruger makes crappy rifles.  You could not hit a pie pan at 100 yds with it.  I can hit a clay bird at 100 yds almost every time with a M1 and surplus ammo standing.
