from another thread: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=36739" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;TLynnHughes wrote:Well I'm going to have to change course. The Kimber is not for me I shot the Pro Carry today and was really disappointed. I'm reasonably accurate with my H&K but I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with the Kimber. I've shot my brother's .45 and I even do ok with that. I'm sure glad I rook the time to shoot before I plunked down the $$$.
Back to shopping. Any thoughts?

Not entirely! I still have my plastic guns. And nothing will ever replace my beloved H&K USP. I don't know if it's possible to bond with a gun but it's close.

They're nice looking guns and everyone has spoken so highly of them. Oh well...

TLynnHughes wrote:Oh it absolutely was NOT the gun. Williamkevin shot just fine with it. It was me and the gun as a team. I still think they're fine weapons, they just aren't for me. My H&K has had a trigger job so after the initial DA trigger pull, the subsequent SA ones are short and light. I love it and I actually liked the trigger pull on the Kimber. I think it was the single stack vs a double stack. I have fairly large hands and really long fingers, so it just wasn't a good fit. I couldn't get the heel of my palm on the grip. I dunno if that made a difference or not. Overall, I just wasn't "feeling" it so to speak.Excaliber wrote: Yes. It's most likely not the gun.
The problem is very likely the difference between a long, heavy double action trigger like the H&K that you're used to and the short light single action trigger of a 1911. If you're leaning toward going with a single action gun of any brand, you'll have to spend a little time on single action trigger technique or you won't be happy with any of them.
I am going to take a look at that Sig since more than one person has recommended it. I have a coworker who is in love with his Kahr and I'd like to shoot that. If I don't love either one of those, I may just stick with the H&K Compact for my carry and spend the money on a Texas edition Bushmaster.
And RiverRat, if I'm ever up that way, I'd like to take you up on shooting those guns. Those are fine looking firearms!

Walthers?? REALLY??austinrealtor wrote:T Lynn, can't remember if you've mentioned Walthers? I really like my PPS 9mm for concealed carry. It disappears in a Crossbreed holster under a tucked shirt. Great little shooter too - easily at same level as even a full-size Glock inside 15 yards (haven't shot it beyond that).
Don't your Glocks feel betrayed?

An added bonus...because the price of the Glock is much less than the Kimber, I have money left over to buy my Bushmaster!

But you're right... the venerable .45 ACP will stop blue whale.
Ahem!! As Cordell Walker, Texas Ranger, Chuck carried a 1911 in what appeared to be a Yaqui slide.austinrealtor wrote:A Glock was used to stop the Gulf oil leak. Everyone knows the great Chuck Norris ONLY uses Glocks, the greatest handgun ever made (and if you don't believe this, tell Mr. Norris - I DARE YOU to). So Chuck Norris flew over the Gulf (without an airplane or helicopter, by the way, he can jump that far), stared into the spewing mouth of the leaking oil well and said "Stop leaking oil or I will shoot you with my Glock."
The well immediately stopped spewing oil and apologized to Mr. Norris, knowing full well that a single shot fired underwater from a factory-equipped Glock, would have ended its very existence.
And notice there are no smilies at the end of this story. Chuck Norris does not like smilies.
Blasphemer...Chuck Norris could have stopped the leak without the use of a handgun.austinrealtor wrote:The Annoyed Man wrote:Blue whales don't have tracks. Everybody knows that, you big silly.7075-T7 wrote:Not the venerable .45ACP, that'll stop a charging blue whale in it's tracksMoJo wrote:
