I had the opportunity to go to the local firing range today and rent these two guns. I am interested in purchasing one of these two guns to carry when I travel and as a CCW. I am still uncertain of which one is the better purchase for me. I would like to hear some feedback from those who have either one of these. Below are my thoughts now that I have fired both guns.
My initial impression of the 30 was better than that of the 36. I was surprised at the recoil of the 36. It is quite a bit stronger than that of the 30. I am used to shooting a 9mm so that also contributed to the surprise I had at the recoil of both guns. Both of these seem to have a stronger recoil than the Glock 21. I assume that the recoil is something I would get used to as I practiced with the gun. Is this correct? At this point, the recoil is my biggest concern. Is this normal when going from a 9MM to a larger caliber pistol? (I do have a 357 Magnum revolver that I shoot often but it is quite a bit heaver than the 30 or 36 and does not have as strong of a recoil.)
I like the size of the 36 over the 30. My current CCW gun is the Glock 19. Both the 30 and 36 are reasonably close in size to the 19. Is the 30 as easy to conceal as the 36? Are both of these as easy to conceal as the 19?
I was very impressed with the accuracy of both of these guns. They both seem to be more accurate than the 19. Of course, maybe I could just shoot them better than the 19!?!
I was pretty much on the center of the target with both the 30 and 36 but I seem to be left with the 19.
