A pistol failure story…

[rileybassman]

A more defined wall and crisper break is exactly opposite of what a Glock trigger needs- unless dropping trigger weight low. A smooth rolling break with almost no defined wall is much better.





DA/SA I can understand.




Fully cocked strikers with no external safety are pants on head retarded. Pull your mind out of the gun world a bit and just think about it clearly- it’s insane.



There are lots of pistols that are safe to carry, etc. Not just 1911/2011’s. Though they are about the most foolproof.

Thanks for your thoughts - appreciate it!

So, what I'm hearing is you would not recommend PDPs or M&P (like 95% cocked) or similar types of striker guns? Do two sears like an echelon etc. change the narrative for you?

Just generally curious what your opinions are on striker guns or if you only recommend SA or DA/SA?

Man I use them all. But, when I have a choice- I choose the best pistols. That very often isn’t a striker fired gun (because of what is available). The M&P with the thumb safety I would be more inclined to. I haven’t shot the Echelon enough to say.
The PDP is laughable as a carry gun. As a toy- why not just get a 2011 or CZ game gun?

But again- I don’t get the desire of most to shoot and use lessor pistols. Maybe because I have so much time and rounds on Glocks, M&P’s, Sig M17/18’s, Walter’s, CZ’s, etc. that they have lost the novelty to me. There is no real argument that a proper 1911/2011 is not bested by any gun from a user experience and performance standpoint. Now that there are $400 versions that work without much fuss- $700 Glocks seem pretty dumb.

Is this a typo? im not sure what you mean by this. are you saying there is no argument that a 1911/2011 is bested by other platforms.

No, he used a double negative to say the opposite of that. A proper 1911/2011 beats all other platforms, in his august opinion.

Poor engrish as Q noted.

There are no pistols that are better from a user experience and performance standpoint than properly built 1911’s/2011’s.
