Caliber differences and preferences

[benbangui]

no it does not. but nice to know the HK45c does have a O-ring. where as before the USPc did not and only the USP tactical and mark23 where the ones with O-rings.

so HKs new .45s do... all variants.

but there 9mms and 40s do not.

Thanks!! Again, too bad you live too far or I would get your HK45......

Being a revolver guy, I have noticed that weight is a factor. I am more accurate with my stainless S & W .38 than with a lightweight titanium based revolver.
I think there is a trade off, much like a snub nose barrel vs. a 4 inch barrel.
In some situations, like CCW, you may prefer a lighter gun.

I shot a Desert Eagle semi auto the other day, built like a tank and weighted a ton, but very easy to shoot.

Perhaps I should shoot a wider variation of guns chambered in .45 before I make my purchase, then. I don't mind the heavier gun, especially since it was, or seemed less snappier. Then again, I've not yet had any formal training, so there could be a way to combat this that I don't know yet. Still, those commander size 1911's are sexy as hell... I'd love to get me one of them long with a CCW. Then again, 9mm is so much cheaper.

But if youre in Sac, it should be that much easier for you from what I understand. I don't plan on applying until I transfer out of my community college up here; hopefully I'll be moving to a friendly county.
