Like many here, I’ve gone through a few handguns before coming back full circle to the Glock.  Admittedly, I think nearly every other handgun I had felt better than the Glock and I shot several of them better than the Glock, but the sheer amount of spare parts, aftermarket parts, and the amount of Glocks in existence made it my choice as a shtf handgun. 

I do still have a P-01 that was worked on that I’ll never part with.  That has to be my favorite compact handgun I’ve had so far.  Feels great and shoots great.

But if it’s the end of the world as we know it, it’ll be a Glock 19 and an AR for me..

Good to hear on the P01. Out of curiosity, you ever try a CZ75 or 97?

That sounds like a great approach.  If you can't find anyone, maybe we can have another 2a range day at the silhouette side.
maybe? What do we have to do to make this happen?

Not those models specifically.  I had a shadow 2 that I loved.  Really smooth gun.  I also have a SP-01 tactical in urban grey that I admittedly haven’t shot yet.

Good point.


Is it possible to have a 2a range day at the Silhouette side with the current covid rules? I was at action bay one a couple Sundays ago and the Silhouette side looked kinda empty. Even the action bays were kinda empty. Blame ammo shortage?

I've been going silhouette side Saturdays and it's not full but its every other table. I went on a Sunday and it's more busy. Possible to have a 2A day. Might have to share tables
I blame ammo shortage
