RE: [Combat-Handgun] question?

Glock - try the model 27 in 40 cal or perhaps the new Springfield XD that is
just about the same size as the Glock.

At the IDPA match that I was at today, I noticed 6 1911a failures to
function, one Sig/CZ and one I don't now what the h*ll it was, but it didn't
function...not one of the Glocks that I saw missed a beat except for a mag
that fell out after the first shot, and I think we all know why that happen
:-)....and I'd guess the total Glocks outnumbered everybody else today...

And no I didn't shoot a Glock today, I blazed away with my oversize tactical
1911...and I carry a shorty 1911...

Subject: [Combat-Handgun] question?




in your opinion, what are some of the better CCW guns and why? I
just moved to a state that allows it and i have never carried all
the time and want something with some power and some accuracy (
sorry for the spelling) but without the big size. i have a model 96
berretta .40 now
thanks

Hi Roy, If you're content with a 9mm I think the Glock 19 would be a good choice. If you want to make bigger holes I think a basic 5" Colt or Springfield 1911...
