avtomat Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I recently turned 21 and I'm currently in the process of gathering all my information up so that I can send away for mine. From what I hear its a more secure feeling to have it on you or in your vehicle. Personally, looking at going with the walther series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oolatec Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 No CCW... Illinois is a PITA. Buford... how do you like your Kimber? I'm really looking for a 1911 as my next pistol (was looking at the SIG P229 etc before, but I am really liking the 1911s)... And between Dan Wesson, Springfield, and Kimber, it's getting to be a difficult choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I had heard you are in law enforcement so that would make sense since you might have to enter into a shootout situation in which no amount of mags is too many. But I think for the rest of us who have the option of retreating from a shootout situation 6 is probably enough. That being said I used to carry around an extra 10 round mag. I only carried it becuase I had it. Well I lost it and make do with 10+1 now. It sucks losing a Glock mag. What's worse is that I'm worried someone will use my bullets with my prints on them for a crime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostofdavid Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 If I have to go downtown, I'll sometimes carry two pistols if I know I wont be drinking. One regular and a back up. I'm not law enforcement, just a realistic. Also, I'm fat so I can hide them easier.QUOTE (derogatory @ Jun 18 2008, 02:16 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>QUOTE (NickReppinThe909 @ Jun 18 2008, 10:48 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>QUOTE (Victim026 @ Jun 18 2008, 09:23 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>QUOTE (mushrat @ Jun 17 2008, 11:40 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>My taurus ultra-lite 38 works for me...http://www.taurususa.com/products/product-...tegory=RevolverYeah that's a sweet gun, but 6 rounds just doesn't seem like enough to me.

I'm a foot taller than you, Mush, and I'll bet that I probably weigh about 150 pounds more than you if not more... and to top that off, my hands are huge. As I live in rural Nebraksa, I can't mosey on down to the local gun shop and browse for a gun that would fit my hands best. I have to look on line and I have to assume that a gun would fit my hands. One of the many disadvantages of living in Nebraska.CC guns are not supposed to be comfortable range shooting guns. You are more looking for what conceals better than what fits your hand size best. Fullsize 1911 may be a great grip size for you, but you may not be able to tuck it worth a damn. Same with other full size guns. One gun that I have truly enjoyed is the Smith and Wesson M&P.

Since you are not looking to carry I gather you want a fullsize 5inch. The kimber Custom II is a pretty good gun for the price. Honestly though, I would much rather own a Springer or Dan Wesson. The DW bobtail is what I am looking at for my next carry gun. But for fullsize, I would definitely put Springfield at the top of the list. Their customer support and gun quality is outstanding. I can't say the same for Kimber. If you can find a Series 1 kimber then you would be golden, obviously that would require buying a used gun though. Stay safe.

I love the Kimber Warrior, but like you have suggested, their Series II run has had some issues I am well aware of... FTF... FTE etc... (thanks to 1911forum.com). And their warranty is lackluster. DW's seem to be really, really tight... as in construction (not necessarily a bad thing)... seems the break-in period is hit or miss because of this. But the Commander Classic BT is totally sexy... And Springfield... well, not only are they in Illinois where I am from... their warranty is unmatched. The TRP... wow... that's all I have to say.Thanks for the input!
