That is usually an indication of a trigger finger "push". That Glock might have just a little longer LOP from the backstrap to the trigger than your Sig. Makes your trigger finger pull at a slight angle rather than straight back. (assuming you're right handed)

YMMV.

That could be it. Glock's trigger breaks at 6 lb., I believe, and the Sig's trigger breaks at around 4.5 lb. in single action. That gives me a great reason to buy a Glock to practice.

May I direct your attention to the Kimber RCPII. Oh Yeah!! I am gloating!!

Is that a DAO piece? Or is it the traditional DA/SA, just without the hammer spur?

Guttersnipe sights? Available night sights? And you are going to feed it with? And carry it in?

SA only, just like a regular 1911. The hammer is totally shaved. It can be put in half-****, and then cocked with out much difficulty. Haven't decided what posture to carry it in yet. I have a 1911 concealment holster for my larger guns that has a thumbreak strap that requires the pistol be hammer back to secure it. I may try to find a smaller one for it. So far it is the finest crafted 1911 I have ever had. Kimber builds 200 of them per year, each one is hand crafted. Notice no sights either, it has an aiming groove down the top of it. I may consider a crimson trace laser grip for it.

Gutter sights is right, literally.

I will shoot some 230g winchester ball at the range and probably shoot a few of the Win 230g pers protection rnds, that I usually carry in most of my guns. I also have some federal 230g HPs floating around. They are getting some age on them so I may shoot them up this weekend. I also thought about trying some Hornady TAP, anyone shot any in .45acp?

For the time being, I am carrying it in a Don Hume outside pant, belt strap holster. Can't see it even under a loose T-shirt only. This winter I will most likely opt for my shoulder rig. I will have to pick up a smaller holster for it This Nov at the big Tulsa gun show, to attach to my rig.

My Kimber Ultra-Carry II loves the Hornady TAP 230gr jhp but they are considered a +P round-not recommended for use in my gun by Kimber so I no longer use them

Thanks for the heads up on that Shamus. What do you use now? Didn't we talk about this somewhere before? I'm having some deja-vu here

Or just suffering from C.R.S(cant recall sh*t)

I'm having the same deja-vu as you

.I've been using Winchester SXT 230gr jhp in my SIG P220 and am going to try them in my Kimber.I think it might have been GraniteForge who suggested that we give the Speer Gold Dots a try which I was also going to do(I think...

).What were we talking about again???

That sounds familiar now

I was talking with Ammo08 on Dales' new gun thread and he mentioned he carries Golden Sabres in his steyr. Is that one we mentioned...tried..anyone?

Howdy folks

First post here. Fairly new to the board, been reading a few weeks. Thought I'd go ahead and say hello and show you my stash. I've had the Python since 1992, I bought it used from a dude at the range out in California. The UPS I bought new in 1994 from a gun store in Orange CA. The Airweight belonged to my grandfather. He bought in either the late 60's or early seventies. It's a great shooter. It is not only my CCW weapon but my good luck charm.

Glocks don't have a true SA or DA. It's sort of half way in between. As highsea suggested, that's probably what pulled my pattern to the left.

As a side note, I replaced the bolt spring (?) on my Peacemaker replica. I order 2 springs just in case. The wire spring makes the trigger break at less than 2 lb (estimate).

I put the other one in and it's a more traditional 3 to 4 lb.
