Nice TJ! Really interesting full solid trigger on that one.
By the way Wade, huge fan of my Browning "Gold Hunter" 12 gauge. All I use ffrom quail to ducks, every hunt. I don't own any other Browning guns though.
I agree MM and Colonel, never been drawn to a Glock before nor had any interest in finding out about them or trying one out. Was raised on a steady diet of Colt Revolvers and a few S&W. That's what I know and they are very quality firearms, so I have stuck with those. My Dad was not a fan of semi autos so I have stuck with Sig Sauer as they are top of the line in my opinion.
The Glock just felt right in my hand, balance, weight, etc. Kind of like the feel of a real good knife. All action was as smooth as silk. No staging on the trigger when I dry fired it once. Consistent pull and tension thru the entire pull. It cost me a little over 500 bucks which is half of what a SIG .45 would have cost. The owners I have talked to say the same thing as you Gents said, "never liked them until a buddy let me shoot his". Yes Sir MM, not as pretty as a 1911, but looks simplistic and durable which also can be good looking to me.
I pesonally like the fact that there is no external safety lever. Although working a external safety becomes "muscle memory" to use, none of my revolvers have one, so I like my slide guns the same. The trigger safety ensures if not depressed and the gun is dropped, a round will not fire. If I have my finger in the trigger guard, I am planning on discharging the weapon so I like the tirgger safety concept. My SIG semi autos have no safety either, just a decocking lever from SA to DA with an internal safety if the gun is dropped.
One reason I bought it in addition to liking it alot is the current ammo shortage. Didn't have a .45! Owning ten 9mm pistols does no good if you have no ammo and can only find .40 or .45 Auto.
The S&W Governer I bought can shoot .45 Auto in addition to .45 LC and .410 so just thought it would be good to diversify and also have 2 pistols capable of the same caliber.
I still will probably favor my new SIG SAUER P226 " Navy Seals Issue" 9mm with the anchor etch. Current official side arm of the Navy Seals to my knowledge. These guns are certainly not inexpensive but if these brave soliders trust them enough to carry one for their demanding needs, that's all I need to know.
Will give you a range report (for whatever that is worth) when I take out the .45 Glock. Take care, Jerry
