Oh.

The avatar looks like Al Sharpton.

Al Sharpton can go fuck himself. To think I have an image up there that looks like him might keep me from sleeping tonight.

I might have to change it now....

I think that some of us are talking apples and oranges. With time and practice most shooters can learn to shoot anything that they can get a good grip on. In my opinion where grip width and angle come in is rapid target aquisition We have a S&W 622 that is very accurate but costs me about 1/2 second when shooting speed plates.

You could check out The Best Nines pistol site, for some info, but nothing beats a bird in the hand, test and feel. Check out a group shoot or rent some nines at a range to help with your decision. There are many choices thats for sure.

Its all a function of budget , then what "feels" best.

I don't like Glocks------hand grip doesnt do it for me--made well--accurate---but not a natural motion.

My Sig 225-------------luuuuuvvvvvv it.
Beretta 92-Brigadier luv it too---carry is OWB-----it's big---but feels/shoots great.

I swear.. When you and I were bitching back and forth a month or so ago; I was looking at your avatar and asking myself - "Who the shit is this guy with Al Sharpton on his avatar? What the hell is wrong with people?". It just made me into more of a prick in my post operative pain killer haze.

I get it now though.

Thanks for setting me straight. I like it now that I know what the hell it is.
