Glock LBP

24" and less, a place to discuss all things handgun related, section 7.3. Long barrelled revolvers, long barrelled pistols and section 5. Overseas contributions are more than welcome.

Either or both. Its in the future the former but knowing of some nice examples of the latter for the now goes a long way, though I can't help but love my buckmark.

Beretta PX4 was real nice. The Steyr M9 feels a little weird at first, but really good. But the choice for me would be the S&W M&P.
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Guns dont kill people. Dads with pretty Daughters do...!

Thanks, I know its not likely for the future but I can see myself ending up in the Isle of man and to be fair, I aint a glock fan. I just don't feel it would be for me so an M&P in 40 S&ww is what I'd buy, a decent smith in 357, a ruger in 44 and a Mk3 in 22lr, and a 45 and 9mm to round things off, 1911 for the 45 and a cz for the 9mm. That sound like enough to keep me happy Sim?

It wouldn't keep me happy..... Revolvers, that where a handgun is for me really. I'd still have a couple or three semis, but a whole bunch of wheel guns!!

I like the blackhawk and the smith, I also like the Python, but feel by the time I'll be able to get..... they'll be out of my reach financially. I refuse to pay more than a set amount for one. As a lefty I feel more comfortable releasing a mag with the index finger than doing a revolver release (though I can do it when (I just move my index finger, let gravity do the work when I tilt to the right (this was from my dad's redhawk (my force pretty much said we could use each other's gun's and its on our certs and I learn revolver shooting that way)) then reach my right hand over and knock the empties out, it works but its more of a pain than the method with semis.

Still love my K22 and know lots of people that still love theirs too. Best build quality I've seen in an LBP (not handled a low mill) and very accurate. First few had reliability issues, the rest don't seem to.

Are there any decent, nice and fun to shoot polymer frame pistols out there ?
The HS2000 is nice & affordable. For me it was a strong contender but I still went for a G17 that I like the same way I like my AK.

I was shooting the PX4 a couple of weeks ago and I hated it! Horrible gun but then I think its all down to ergonomics, I'm a left hooker so that immediately limits the number of guns I get on with. I think Beretta don't like us cack handed fellas as the 92f is impossible to shoot well if your thumbs keep catching those little levers under the slide!

I'd like to have a go with a sig P320, been hearing some good things about them?

But the 92 has a reversible mag release these days though? Saying that I prefer index finger on release every time (I have stubby fingers).

it would work better if you used your index finger on the trigger
