Shooters do you have a preferred set up?
My brother and I were talking pistols. I preferred the shield over glock

I carry a G23 (.40) because its concealable, fits my hand well, and I am very accurate with it. My most accurate Glock is the G21 in .45. I had the grip modified so its easier to handle and the sights replaced as well as the trigger. But it's too big and heavy to carry. We have other handguns of many different manufacturers , but glock is the only one you can drop in the mud , pick it up and it will continue to function, no matter what. Kimbers and HKs tend to jam after the next shot . Yep I did the mud test. I need a gun that is accurate and dependable.

@NativeOregonian Thats precisely why I like them...Low muzzle jump and getting back on target more easily, Doesn't matter what you carry as long as you are competent with it. another reason I like glock is that there are so many aftermarket mods available for them, just like the Remington 700 action in rifles.

@Powderflask If you live on a ranch/farm, or a rainy area, it could be a very important factor.

@Powderflask in a gunfight , since I’m not a professional with battle experience ... I try to imagine worst case scenarios . And I just won’t carry a gun that will jam if it’s dirty .

@NativeOregonian yep we have a farm , I hunt , and I carry . If you carry stuff is going to find its way into your weapon

@NativeOregonian my family does have a ranch but my "field gun" of choice is my 870. A 3 inch barreled 9mm is not a predator gun

@TexChik Most definitely will, firearms seem to attract all sorts of debris.

@NativeOregonian I shoot every Friday when I’m home at the indoor range . At the farm we have a box canyon where I can shoot anything . We have reactive steel targets , platforms for bottles and a cable suspended across the canyon to hang swinging stuff on . With all the rain this year , water melons are growing everywhere . We shot a lot of those down there last summer and now the seeds have germinated .

@TryingtoLava can you shoot?

@NativeOregonian we have a .50 AE. A 300 grain HP really makes a mess
@TexChik sorta! I cant have kick thou or i hurt myself

@NativeOregonian it’s hard for me to grip ... it definitely has muzzle jump . The .44 mag is nothing after firing the .50

@TexChik That is too cool.
