BINGO!reid36 said:Maybe I just need to get comfortable with one in the pipe in the glock.
The P2000 was my first experience carrying hot and I felt much more ready which I liked alot so I'm now convinced that its the only way to go.PW said:BINGO!reid36 said:Maybe I just need to get comfortable with one in the pipe in the glock.
I carried COLD (not sure if that is the opposite of HOT but hey its the best I could come up with) for the first few months that I had my permit. I wanted to be 100% comfortable with carrying, holstering, unholstering, storage, everything before I carried HOT. Now I carry hot everyday, everywhere.
I have a primary carry gun that I carry 95% of the time, XD45 Compact. The other 5% I carry a KelTec P32 or P3AT. Sometimes the XD45 just doesn't work for me but the KelTec in a pocket holster can go anywhere and in any dress option.
Another suggestion, maybe you aren't carrying the "right" (subjective) way. With all those guns you have gone through I can't imagine you have taken the time or waited to get a GOOD holster for all of the guns. A good holster makes a huge difference.
That is a long list. I will help you out some:XD-40
PX4 .40
SP101
SW 6904 9mm
XD9SC
G26x2
G30
G36
G19
G33
P239 9mm
HK P2000 9mm
The SP101 is a revolver... Sounds like you are more the semi-auto type (there are SO many good revolvers, only inculding this is a waste, so lets stick to semi auto)PX4 .40
SP101
P239 9mm
HK P2000 9mm
The PX4 ($600) ia a larger gun than the HK P2000 or P239 and you thought the HK was to big so forget the PX4.PX4 .40
P239 9mm
HK P2000 9mm
:agree:glock fan said:It may not be the gun, but the carrying method that you're not comfortable with.
I agree for the most part that "A Glock is a Glock". With respect to trigger pull, function and reliability, Glocks are all the same. Some folks cannot handle the .40 caliber models, but can handle the .45 caliber or 9mm just fine. I found the .40 caliber models to be "snappy" at first. With practice I've become very comfortable with my Glocks. Can't beat the durability and ease of operation, not to mention the minimal maintenance requirements.That is a long list. I will help you out some:
A Glock is a glock. If you dont like one hot in the pipe, dont get one.
XD is a glock (i know I will get flamed for this). Add a few consumer requested items and it is really the same gun.
S&W semi autos are also like glocks, just tweaked a little.
How many people drop 6000 rounds through their carry weapon? I can tell you it isn't that many, plus you care for your guns better than rentals get cared for. XD are not a bad choice, but I have never beleived they are the same quality as glock... IMHObane said:Wow, first time I've ever heard the XD as being unreliable...
It's hard to tell what you are looking for and what you didn't like about the guns you had. :dunno:reid36 said:I cant seem to settle!
Anyway, do any of you experience this feeling of un-satisfaction? It's driving me crazy, I just want to feel content about the pistol I carry so I can focus my energies on other things. What should I do? :dunno:
Oh ya and If anyone is in the market for a practically new P2000 let me know.
Not me. Just ask the guys at Barlows Customs what they think of the XD's.bane said:Wow, first time I've ever heard the XD as being unreliable...
