Real pistols

[Woodie]

I miss my Glock 23, I bought it in '91 and sold it in 2001. In the ten years it rode at my side it performed flawlessly. I've shot all kinds of pistol, colt, browning, star, astra, tokarev, FEG, CZ, Walther, beretta, taurus , SIG, ruger, S&W. the only handgun I would think of swapping the Glock with was the Steyr M.
When you carry a pistol everyday and work as an electrician in the African heat it's got to be compact, powerful, reliable and accurate.

That said I once used a beretta model 71 in 22lr to get myself out of a sticky situation. As luck would have it my Glock was away having tritium beads installed...

I thought you fell in love with the star model B Try CAR Tecnique with a glock (Centre Axis Relock), the glock cannot handle all the recoil and hence cracks

[Haggis]

No I learned stoppage drill with a star b, what do you do in CAR drill?

[Haggis]

OK found it, don't know why the glock would crack, we did all kinds of point shooting with no trouble.

I hear very good reports about the .40S&W model from America; apparently they were built for the cartridge rather than 9mm.
The designer was originally part of Glock and they were built with the idea of being an improved model, but Glock would not produce.

Steyr are a universal favourite, trustworthy quality.

It does, you remove all the recoil from the pistol so it receives all the recoil itself.

I heard that at the time, about it being made by ex glock employee. I only got my hands on the 9mm version but it shot very well. The ergonomics are even better than a glock, which impressed me the first time I shot it. The sights were weird at first but it pointed so well I would ignore them and just point shoot it, like I did with my 23 anyway.

9mm and .40

9mm and .40

the .40 is kinda fickle anyway, the unsupported chamber and all that.

My old 23 was KB'd by the moron I sold it to. In the deal he got my lee reloading gear and whatever components I had left. I had about 200 180 grain lead rounds left over from my stupid adventure with a .40S&W Astra A70. He loaded those and fired them in the Glock
