Nice gun! Great pics of it too.

Enjoy!

 

I don't understand this comment. Unless you have a physical disability, you should be able to either weak or strong-hand shoot this w/out issue. If not, then you might want to get some extra range time or training on how to properly hold and fire a handgun. Btw, I'm not trying to criticize you; I just genuinely do not understand this statement.

 

You have to press and hold a safety while firing the weapon, just MHO is a bad design, a slip, sweaty wet hands, weak grip maybe from a wound, whatever and the weapon will not fire. The weapon's purpose is to protect me and not the person on the other end. Has nothing to do with range time. I am personally a Glock fan, many critize that the safe trigger mechanism is not safe enough. For me the back strap safety is too much, just a personal preference. I can fire my Glock with just the thumb and index finger and hit the target. The Nighthawk is beautiful gun, great craftsmans ship, the safety is just a personal preference I guess. I have gone through several barrels in my Glock, I don't believe I need extra range time to improve my shooting but all the guns I have, Walther PPS and Kel-tec, use either a form of safe trigger or an extra long pull.
I do not believe that you always have to have the proper grip to fire your gun. The gun I chose I have to be able to pick up and fire. You do not need an iron grip to fire a gun acurately, the pull is way more important then your grip.

 

I too have been converted to the cult of glock from my HKs (I'll never give up my P7M8 though)...I am now preferring pistols that lack any thumb safety or slide release as glocks currently do.

I concede that if you were seriously wounded then the back strap safety might be a liability. However, at that point, I'd argue that you should be seeking immediate help or fighting your way to a better weapons platform.

 

There is just so much here I refuse to touch...

Doc - Congrats! Should be a blast...






...even with that itty-bitty hole for a muzzle.

Maybe if I take a Sharpie and draw around the muzzle to make it look more manly?????? It does look pitifully small, kinda takes away some of that intimidating 1911 aura....

 

Won't matter when you screw that can on it...

 

OK, now I feel better.

 

... now that's bigums

 

Wow! You have been through several Glock barrels? You must shoot a lot of bullets . . .

After how many bullets, in your experience, does a Glock barrel need to be replaced? I would have thought other parts might have failed first.
