I haven't bought a centerfire firearm in 7 year's I wasn't aware of the newer generation of guns I still have all my idpa guns i shot for 25 year's Or so. My widowed sister needed a firearm Mine were not to her liking After research and many positive reviews So i bought her a taurus g3 9mm 17rnd and a flush fit 15 rnd mag 249.00 She had only shot a .22 pistol before but she did very well. I couldn't get her to stop the revolver grip But her fingers are so small it didn't matter luckily lol 21ft idpa target she started with a m&p compact .22 and switched to the taurus
I was so impressed with the g3 i bought a g2c 9mm on the way home 229.00 AT 75ft it shot good for a compact It's 12rnds came with 2 mags I really like the trigger system it's a restrike setup With a good imho trigger pull My sister preferred the g2c so i traded her for the g3
When you first charge the pistol The trigger has has a bit of takeup then when you hit the wall It's around 4-5lbs but a crisp break. You can pull the trigger again for a bad primer For example but it's a heavier pull 6lbs plus. I really like this system it's very quick to transition from glock to this for me. The new g3 has a wide face trigger As opposed to the g2c which is very glock like And narrow.
I went on a bit of a taurus kick and bought a Tx .22 For a more affordable pistol for fun and her to practice with This to has been a excellent pistol imho Very accurate and a great trigger pull Over 1000rnds no jams Several bad primers with Remington thunderbolt Wouldn't fire in another pistol either. i shot it against a glock 44 .22 and preferred the Taurus and it's 130.00 or so cheaper than the glock. The glock is a fine pistol too it feels just like my glock .23 just lighter.
Another Taurus Tried out a th9c 9mm it's a traditional Da/sa but has cocked and locked and a decocker It's my neighbors he wanted me To check it out and make sure it functioned properly. Shot great with a good single action 4-5 lbs but a heavy double I didn't like But it works i put a couple hundred rnds through it on the plate rack no issue's Accuracy was good. I think he gave 239.00 or so for it.
I’ve always been different so here goes. Doing some research on an Umarex .50 cal. air rifle. Need to get a bit more info before I “pull the trigger” on buying one.
I looked that pistol up after I read your posts. That looks like a really nice gun for the $. I like that it has a safety, unlike Glocks.
I'm glad the safeties are small but useable. She's a new shooter so it gives her More confidence having a safety Me it doesn't matter I'm used to glock type The m&p line has safety versions available too.
My friend bought a couple rifles i had never seen before Thompson center Dimension rifles with interchangeable barrels. There's dozens of calibers available They come with the tools to swap barrels But the additional barrels cost extra. They were pretty expensive at 5-600.00+ But they clearanced them out for around 200.00 we shot a .204 ruger and a 7mm rem mag Both were consistently hitting at 300yds No adjustments to the scope that was impressive. Nice trigger. They are very well built I'm going to try to find one.
Tried out my friends ruger AR15 At 100yds with just a cheap 20-30.00 green dot holo scope It's a very good shooter i was hitting a 4" plate Seemed like non stop First time I ever shot it Accurate well made rifle. There's not many shots over a 100yds here The tree's and terrain are thick I don't even have sights on my ARs for coyote hunting Might get one of these sights it worked great.
Well I was at a rural king and they actually had the very hard to find g3c compact 9mm It's fairly new to the market. So I bought it 259.00 comes with three mags it's much smaller than my glock 23 and g3 full size Actually the 23 and g3 are nearly identical sized In my eyes. it's much smaller and lighter than my s&w .40c Which holds 10rnds it's my favorite of the Taurus line that I've tried It has the new wide trigger with a crisp break. I ran 250 124gr jhp through it on the plate rack Very accurate little gun I shot it almost as well as my old glock 23. And fit my g 23 outbags leather holster perfectly. I'm selling the g3 full size to fund this one lol It was just too hard to pass up.
Great nephew has a large bore air rifle I never shot it he likes it. I did shoot his 22lr level air rifle it's very accurate.
Yes, the m&p with the safeties are another one I like. That and Walther, pretty sure there's at least a model with more than a trigger safety like glock . My s&w 9ve had no safety and while it's ok, the trigger on the gun is super stiff due to the lack of a normal safety.
Last Friday at the range. Earlier CZ75 that my Brother got in Germany and gave to me. Only has a couple boxes through it. Like the target says 15 yds and 40 rounds. Modified quick fire. Rifles are more my style and my eyesight is going south as I get older but I am still modestly proficient. I couldn't get the 1943 Colt 45 to group that well but I was shooting some rather anemic reloads and the gun (like most military weapons) has a decided preference for full boat loads. First time out in a long while!
Wish you had a pic of the pistol Czs are some of my favorites I have cz75sa single actions a 9mm and a .40 excellent pistols.
tried out my friends new mark 4 ruger standard Shoots excellent but only the action pins kept working loose you can see the rear one loose here. I've had 6 or 8 of these and the 22/45 versions Never saw this before. The safetys and mag release and take down are much improved over earlier one's.
Very nice in excellent shape. I foolishly sold a cz Colt had a failed collaboration with cz called the cz40 a futuristic 1911 style da/sa lol Extremely accurate only 300.00 But my friend wanted it Hard to find now. All kinds of clone czs now because they are so good.
