Glock vs Kimber

I voted glock purely based on weight I don't own one as I have 2 xd's but at the time glocks were way more expensive now that the price gap has closed is go glock but I do luv my xd's again just based on weight as carry guns get big and heavy fast.

 

Where do you shoot?
PM me details.
Thanks!

 

Hi -

This place is very friendly and you are able to shoot just about anything .308 and below. They are AR and shotgun friendly...

Easy to find on the Eastside - very near the Factoria area - so there are places to get a bite after.

 

Glock!

 

Really? Comon.... No comparison, Glock all day son..

 

If I had to choose between a Glock and a Kimber, it would be Glock hands down, you couldnt give me a Kimber

If your choices are unlimited go with a semi custom or full custom 1911 in .45acp
Ed Brown, Les Baer, Wilson or a Dan Wesson

 

i carry a 26 everyday and i own a kimber TLE 2 so if anyone has a say i think i've got full rights...


get the glock, my kimber is a tempermental little B&^%$ only likes $35 wilson combat mags, and it's still not always 100% i wouldn't trust it as my CCW gun only because of the fact that i own 6 glocks that go bang everytime, out of all six and thousands and thousands of rounds i'm at ZERO malfunctions, i couldn't count on both hands how many i've had out of my kimber, it's a good gun but it's heavy as hell for CCW and the reliability thing has kind of turned me away from the 1911, i know there are ppl out there that are die hard 1911 fanboys and wont recomend anything but it but i just dont think they're all that great for what it is especially since you can almost buy 2 glocks for the price of one good 1911

edit, not to mention how nice it is to be able to throw a couple G17 17rd mags in your center console for backups

i carry a glock, i compete with a glock and would have no problem putting my life behind it clean, wet, dirty, and upside down, fact is they work and they work all the time

 

Note:you shoot Glocks sideways...

 

Honestly, 3inch 1911's don't have the best reputation for reliability.
A Commander-size is a different story.
I still suggest a single-stack for CC.

 

I voted for both the G26 and (other)

I think the G23 is an amazing pistol, thats what I have and love it...its never had 1 foul up

 

I have a g23 and it is a great gun but im ready to move on (its getting traded in this weekend)

If you interested im selling a couple holsters for it cheap because the guy from the gun shop doesn't want em And I have no use for em now

 

What kind of holsters you got. I just bought a Glock 23 Gen 4 the other day...

 

Don Hume IWB leather holster. jus got it 2 weeks ago. Retail was $30

Blackhawk serpa composite holster

 

I vote glock. Ive held kimbers, glocks and hi-points. Kimbers are nice, but at $1,000+ its not for me. Brand new glocks are almost half price, and can take a beating. Go on youtube and watch the glock videos(hickok45) specifically, you will learn alot. You can adapt a glock to fit almost like any other pistol with minor modifications.

 

Crossbreed Supertuck.

IWB, Kydex mounted to a large leather pad, and the belt clips allow you to tuck in and conceal under a dress shirt.

 

I carry the original XD .45 compact, I love it because it fits my hands like a 1911 (I shoot a TRP in IPSC) and is cheap so I dont get butthurt if it gets taken as evidence if I ever have to use it. You mentioned wanting to shoot in .22 for fundamentals, have you ever considered just training in your carry load? I know its more expensive, but you should train like you fight. When shooting a full load you may experience different malfunctions and magazine issues that you need the reps in correcting so you're extremely familiar with your gun.

 

I generally do practice with my carry load. I have a ton of the UMC .40 rounds just stored up. Every time I find a deal on them I buy them. It would just be nice to be able to drop in a .22 kit to work out kinks (and to play with) and then switch over to my carry load to refine.

 

My vote goes to the Kimber it is a very well build gun with many custom features. I currently own two kimbers and are extremely happy. They are the Kimber Super Carry HD and the Kimber Gold Combat. Though I have to say I have not had much experience with a glock. Personally I am a fan of the single action 1911.

 

You should be flogged for saying this manufacturer in a quality handgun discussion such as this!

 

I own a high point and though its nothing fancy, i can't complain. It shoots straight and I haven't had a single problem with it but its only had about 1000 rounds through it. I originally got it just to have a handgun for home defense. An intruder won't know the difference if the round in his chest came from a $160 hi-point or a $1000 kimber. Just my .02
