Either get the 4.25" Prodigy or wait for Kimber to drop the 4.25 Warrior. I have watched a lot of reviews of the Warrior from some of the pickiest reviewers and they have nothing but great things to say about it.

Hammer fired. Those are the 1911 style handguns, right? I like the look of those too. I was originally looking at one of the new XD Mod.4 9mm, but they didn't have any ither the GearPac bundles so I opted for the Echelon. The only thing I don't like about it so far is that the only safety on it is that double trigger. That feels kind of worthless to me, I can't picture a scenario where that would make any difference in firing it or not. I'm OK with it not having an active thumb safety, but I'd be more comfortable if it had a grip safety like the Mod.4

quote:Yep, but there's a million more hammer fired pistols that aren't 1911s. You made a much better choice with the Echelon over the XD IMO. The XDs were somewhat the striker fired 1911s with the grip angle and grip safety long ago and still to this day.

I was the same way with needing a manual safety on my first two pistol purchases. Then I bought the OG VP9 and all of that went out of the window. You'll get more comfortable with the pistol the more you shoot and handle it.

Thought it was a pretty good deal. It's my first handgun. I'll meet up with some friends at the range next weekend to put some rounds through it.
The echelon is a great platform. Honest outlaw beat the absolute piss out of one and it keep going.

1911’s and revolvers are probably the most common thought about. I’d fall asleep before I named all the hammer fired
Sig
HK
FN
Those three have a few good one’s to choose from.

I just can’t make myself sell a gun. I just buy more safes

I used to be like that too. Now, if I buy one, don't care for how it shoots or if I am not good with it, I sell it.
Or just tell TideHater about a gun you just bought

Sig: 226, 229, they do indeed have a 1911 that no one talks about and a great reviewed "2011" series : if you want a cheap "226" look at the SP2022 - I thought it was trash, bought one, shot it and was impressed, kept
I shoot my P320 compact better than my P226 Legion and hate myself every time it happens
HK: P30 series, go with a USP and you have bought a tank that will withstand an atomic bomb, HK45 is about as good as it gets
FN: decent internal hammer fired pistols
Kimber: beloved at one time, turned to shite handguns, redemption has started with great additions within the last several years
CZ: 75 series is a trademark, P09 series is debatable, Shadow series is great
I'm done, I'll let the 1911 and 2011 fricks tell us what's great and not because the pissing match is only beginning
And sweet Lord let the revolver discusion start.

Mostly to avoid a ND from the trigger snagging on holstering.

Honest outlaw did a review. Says it’s by far the best DS in the $1000 price point.
