Isn’t that relative? Do you believe that a person with zero functional skill (the vast majority of people that carry and shoot pistols), and a USPS Grandmaster are meaning the same thing when they say “shootability”?
Absolutely not. I just don't think it's as big a deal as people make it out to be.
The best shooter I've personally been around shot a match at our club with a Glock 26 and made a lot of folks see in person that the craftsman really matters.
DA/SA is a silly solution to a non real problem. Single action only with a thumb safety, or striker fired- preferably with a thumb safety.
Are you being serious about the PMR 30? If so, why not an M&P 5.7?Despite people saying that Glocks are the Tikka’s of pistols- they are not. Not even close. Tikkas are extremely reliable, AND extremely high performing. Glocks are reliable, and mediocre performing. They can be used and shot to a very high level, but it takes significantly more skill and work to do so compared to other pistols.
Glocks are the Ruger M77’s of the pistol world. There is no Tikka equivalent in pistols when factoring in price- the closest would be a CZ Shadow 2.
What I write below is based upon actual shooting performance with scored targets and timers, under stress, and with relatively large amounts of people.
This is a good thought. But also eliminates Glock.
The single stack Glocks are harder to shoot well- significantly so. The G45 is an excellent pistol of the type. But no manual thumb safety and does demand more of the shooter to equal the same performance.
Despite media and hysteria, the M18 with thumb safety is a good pistol. 100% you will want to swap the grip module for the Brouwer M1811 module. The P365 with thumb safety is a very pistol as well. Even though it is smaller, it is quite shootable.
Very good guns. They are definitely the highest performing pistols on your list, by quite a margin. Reliability wise they are solid.
Yes, but maybe not noticed if you are just shooting cans in the backyard. You could say it like such- if you knew without a doubt you were going to be in a shooting, and you had any base skills at all- you would absolutely choose the Staccato’s.
The G45 yes. Functionally the G48 as well , but there have been more issues there.
Yes. Regardless of hand size (within reason).
This is a bit harder to address. The Gen 5 9mm Glocks are probably the “most reliable” pistols made. But that I mean- most mean rounds between stoppages (MRBS). However, functionally- there isn’t a real difference. It doesn’t really matter if it is 10,000 MRBS or 25,000 MRBS- both are beyond reliable enough.
Yes.
That isn’t going to do much for you. You stated you aren’t a pistol shooter, don’t really have skill, and aren’t knowledgeable about them. How a pistol “feels” has almost zero bearing on how well it can or will be shot, and any relevance it does have is almost always to the negative- feelings lie and “good feeling pistols” often perform worse in actual measured shooting.
Based on your stated goals/use, I would be narrowing it down to either-
The P365 with thumb safety if weight is a primary driver
Or
The Staccato C or CS if max shooting performance is the main driver.
Or…. Keltec PMR 30.
I don't understand the glock love. The lack of thumb safety options really sucks.
I shot 1911’s hands down the best, but reliability of small but important parts (extractor, etc.) was an issue that left me doubting it early in the morning
