All valid points. I did realize how much of a PITA it can be with a press check and disassembly with the FLGR. Still want to shoot both ways and see if I notice a difference. If not, then I'll go with the GI.
The trigger is great, but seeing as how this will likely be a target/competition gun...
I finally got her home. And all I can say is that pictures, reviews and videos do no justice. Absolute perfect pistol in every way. Better than any I've held. Cannot wait until Saturday when I can put bullets down the barrel!
I'd kill for the PC Grips, the only thing that stopped me from just getting the PC is the lightening cuts... I'm not purist, but I just can't take it. Draws too much attention to the rest of the pistol!
As for the guide rod, I've got no preference either way, just figured I'd get a feel for...
OP, owning a few myself, these are (usually) referred to as "deployment pistols". Many units (that one being 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team) will order these in mass, as many as the units Soldiers request for themselves and pay for.
Sometimes these are specially purchased through the Gun...
So I spent YEARS researching, looking, wondering, holding, watching videos and contemplating. Then I made a decision. The S&W E Series (108482). Shouldn't have been a hard choice, I'm VERY partial to S&W with my M&P45 and K-Frame 19-3.
But then? No one had it in stock. So then I was calling...
Oh I hope not! I'm only 29! Haha. This pistol has spent most of its time with me on the nightstand at night, and the sights are simply hard to pickup in very low light conditions. While it still serves the purpose perfectly, I'm always looking for ways to improve.
Alright, have an older 19-3 snub (serial 8K65***) I received from my father, one he carried with SWAT many moons ago but hence has sat in a drawer for many years. The gun is in perfect condition and shoots like a dream, though my only desired improvement would be in the sights.
I have seen...
