Laser Sights

A lot of rounds shot through it?

Why?

i've always hated glocks, the 26 is no different. i just don't like the ergonomics of them.

there are better striker fire guns out there IMO, the Smith and Wesson M&P being the one i'm most fond of out of the striker fire pistols

I understand wanting a truck gun, however I just think there are better options. If you haven't held a glock and a M&P side my side do yourself a favor and do so. The ergonomics are miles better on the M&P's

Yep. And the grip can accommodate different shooters' hand sizes whereas with the Glock you're stuck with the shitty wide grip no matter what you do. The grip angle, sights, and serrations are better on the M&P as well.

Although it's a Glock and you may throw up, here is a cutaway of a striker-fired handgun.



The mechanism is considered "Double Action only" since the action does two things (double) - it retracts the firing pin (#1) and then releases it (#2).

Here is a hammer-fired gun.



The hammer is what strikes the firing pin, causing the firing pin to detonate the primer and work the action. The 1911 is "Single Action only" meaning pulling the trigger does one thing - releases the hammer.

Some hammer-fired guns are DAO and will both retract the hammer (#1) and release the hammer (#2). Some are also double action and single action, like a modern revolver. But the main difference between hammer and striker guns is that the striker is not visible, whereas the hammer is.

Get the fricking gun you want, not the one that some internet message board fig tells you to.

I agree but I also agree with KR suggesting he hold both. Lots of people think the Glock is for them until they hold it.

Did someone say Glock?

Edit: Don't get the laser sight that is the guide rod. It stinks and I have never heard anyone like it. If you are going to CC that pistol, the laser that mounts on the rail in front will greatly limit your CC holster options. That Glock loves to go bang and the holster is a primary safety mechanism for it in my opinion. There is a laser that mounts onto the grip and it would not interfere with the holster options.

For me, I am about to jump off the Glock Bandwagon and go elsewhere. Springfield for CC and I want to make bigger holes now too.
