Check this beauty out.
It’s the PX18.9 - a single action 9 mm 1911 style pistol with an 18 round magazine. A bit pricey at $1109, but man! It’s a nice, thick cut of Awesomeness, grilled to awesome perfection and slathered with awesome sauce.
Or not? I dunno - how does the Para Ordnance brand stack up out there among the rest?
Enas - I don’t know diddly about Para Ordinance. But you might go look at Steve Grahams new 1911 .45 S&W. over at Hog On Ice.
Yah, I saw it. Nice. I looked at S&W pistols too, but they don’t offer a 9mm model. Funny, he also has a 686+ revolver just like mine.
Try the S& W 5906. I owned one until it was stolen last year. It was my very first “large” caliber pistol purchase. I got in back in the 80’s. I got into reloading shortly after that.
Steve’s latest post mentions an article on proper shooting technique. Its worth a read…
I looked up the 5906 McGoo. It looks nice, but I really want that classic 1911 look though. I dunno. I’ve been waffling a bit too - I looked at some of the “Plastic Guns”. Sig Sauer has a nifty model that can be changed to different calibers. Gah, so many choices!
I read that article - good stuff! I pulled out the 686 and did some dry firing after reading it and I think I’m already better. I didn’t know about the front sight focus - I’m pretty sure I usually look at the target when firing. The high hand placement and hard hold is helping too, I think. I’m gonna mosey down to the range this weekend and see how I do. I think I’ll also start sampling the pistol menu too.
Sampling the gun menu doesn’t make you gain weight - it packs on knowledge.
Nice
