I have to qualify on friday, for the agency i currently work for. We are allowed to carry what ever weapon we chose.
I have three that i will be taking out to the range friday.
#1. Glock M-20 in 10mm that i have been carrying up to this time.
#2. Para P-14 ltd, in 45acp.
#3. Sig 229 in 357 sig.
Ammo used, for 10mm & 45acp; Collins Cartridge company 185 grain 45acp; 10mm 165 grain. 357 sig; Winchester "white box" 125 grain.
All of my shooting was done from th 25 yard line, Supported & offhand shooting.
The Para performed as usual, flawlessly, accurate in the extreme, 1911 feels great in the hand. The hi-cap mags that i have purchased for this weapon make qualifing easier. But i have found that this weapon & three high cap mags add mucho weight to an already heavy duty belt. Other than the weight, and carrying :cocked & locked" [some folks have problem with this.]
The Glock was next, out of the three, this weapon is poorest performer accuracy wise, this is not say it's bad but compared to the Para & Sig it fell short of thier mark. I LOVE the 10mm round and this one of the main reasons for buying and carrying this weapon. Other than the one reason i listed, the Glock is excellent combat weapon. I also have three hi-cap mags for it and the Glocks light weight, reliability, easy maintenance, makes it hard to say no too.
The big suprise was the Sig! I have not shot this weapon alot, [about 100 rounds total up tp today] and i found this pistol one sweet shooter....
In fact, this pistol almost edged out the Para in the accuracy department!!! I let three other officers shoot this weapon and every one loved it. [The deputies here shoot Glock M-31 in 357 sig,] From a supported position i could put all ten rounds into a circle 4 inches in diameter at 25 yards. Offhand it grew to around eight inches. We also had eight inch diameter steel plates that i had no problem hitting 6 out of 10 times at around 50 yards. The drawback with this weapon is the price of ammo...
i bought a box of 50 [Speer lawman] and it priced out to 19.95!, the Winchester white box was around 14.50 for 50 rounds. I'm going to make it a point to practice alot more with this weapon, i currently carry it for my main CCW weapon, but it might be going on duty real soon.
We shoot a fifty round F.B.I. course, and last time i shot a 246 out of 250 with the Glock. So why take the other??? hmmmmmm, I just like to have other choices should i feel the need; i guess. Any comments or suggestions from interested parties?? Thanks for any replies or comments you might have. 12-34hom.
