My wife has decided to learn to shoot (yes, this is the one that had the KB), and we went to the range with a Glock 19, a Ruger 22/45, and a Kimber .45.
Wife shot the Ruger and the Kimber very well. After ten rounds with the Glock, she commented, "This trigger is terrible. The Ruger and Kimber are much easier to shoot" (By the way, she made this observation BEFORE she had the KB. After she had the KB, she was certain that she didn't like the Glock!).
This experience is not unique. EVERY new shooter I have helped to get started has preferred the single action triggers to safe-action. If these new shooters like the single action trigger, and are willing to learn the manual-of-arms necessary to safely employ these pistols, should we try to steer them away from an "inherantly dangerous, cocked and locked pistol," and towards a Glock, which is point and shoot?
I really didn't intend for this to come out as a Glock vs. all others type of thread. How about some non-emotional, spirited discussion?
