Views On Common Gun Models

coming soon:

SIG Sauer

Simply awesome, combine the best features of a handgun (most models.)These are duty guns, made to defend yourself. Availible in all major calibers, ranging in size from concealed carry to duty sized. They are solid feeling, made of metal. Confortable grip angle, break down nice and easy, have a nice DA/SA trigger, are accurate, almost 100% reliable and durable as hell, plus SIG has good customer service. Stock night sights is a great feature. In a sense, DA/SA sigs just fit me.

I think there is almost no difference in West German and modern SIGs, id take either but modern models most likely.

Now, not all SIGs are like this, first, stainless frames are hard to come by right now, so that is an issue. Second, the p250, DAK, and DAO models suck. I hate the 250 since its A. DAO. B. Ugly.

DAO triggers suck, bad, long heavy pull each time, its a crutch for lack of training by agencies too afraid of an accidental shooting that they dont care if their guns are easy to shoot on duty.

DAK sucks, being a DAO, its a little better, averaging 6.5 lbs, not 10-12, but then again it is still a long pull, and the intermediate reset is heavier than standard pull, resets should be same weight, and all DAOs are hard to shoot fast or accurately at range, especially under stress, and to add it to a very bad trigger, its catching on amongst law enforcement everywhere, many departments trading in DA/SA guns for this crap! Some say "the consistent trigger helps people shoot." I say a consistent trigge ronly helps if its consistently good......

Shotguns

I love pump action shotguns for versatility and reliability, being able to shoot light trap loads to full out magnums. I need astock on it though.

Mossberg Vs. Remington:

I like the controls (safety, slide release) way better on a mossberg, however a remington feels more natural. Mostly the slide position, so in the end remington wins by a small margin, also, recoil pads suck on both and need replacing.

Pistol grip only shotguns are just a tacticool mall ninja thing, they offer no control or accuracy beyond contact range. If storage space is an issue get a folding stock, so you can fit it in a more compact package but can still unfold the stock and use it for control.

Trigger types

I will say views on:

Remember, not all guns are the same so this is generalized.

Squared vs. rounded trigger guard

Some gunwriters decided it was cool to start hating squared guards, some saying its unnecessary and looks ugly, some claiming it will get caught on clothes during a draw, all kinds of crap. I prefer squared, neither type is a dealbreaker, but i like squared as a preference. First, i like to put my finger on the front of the trigger guard to keep it off the trigger, feels more secure and natural than along the frame. Second, it looks more flush when mounting a light on a rail, and not jacked up like a curved guard.

Magazine Disconnect safety

Unnecessary. First, for some reason every gun with this has a heavier trigger pull than the same model without. Pretty much everybody who can removes it. Second, sometimes the round in the chamber is all you got. Id hate for a gun to not go bang in a fight if the magazine was loose due to a bent feed lip or inadvertently hitting the release. It should not be on any gun.
