And picked up a new pistola. Springfield XDM in .45.
Buddychrist said:I personally do not like Glocks for two reasons. Most of my friends are fire Marshall's and they hate them because the sights are made of plastic and the worst thing you need in brandishing a handgun is the front sight to fall on the ground.
Secondly most Glocks do not have a push button safety which is just plain unintelligent when it comes to a normal day concealed carry and yes I understand the trigger has to be squeezed straight back in order to fire but that is not considered a safety by my standards.
Just out of preference I like the 5906 because the 9mm para has more than enough knockdown power to stop anything in its path and the recoil is extremely well manageable on the all stainless steel frame which can take one heck of a beating if it need be. I have been out to the range with all 8 of my fire Marshall friends and they all are pushing to get the 5906 to replace their Glock because the reason they were issued Glocks is because of being in the high humidity of a structure fire scene there is a lot of corrosiveness to AFFF foam that is typically sprayed. But the all stainless frame has no worry about corrosion.
