Time for a new 9MM....what should I buy ??

[Vadman]

For you Grand Power owners, is there much of a difference between the X-Trim and the MK7? Should a guy spend the extra $100 and pick up the X-Trim?

Guys who have them like the racy lines of the X-Trim. I have the Mk7, for two reasons: I prefer the look of fixed sights, and it was the variant offered with variable backstraps. Having said that, the gun is a good shooter, but, I do find the Mk7 rear sight to be on the small side.

It depends on what you really want. If you want a good quality service grade gun, go for the MK7.

If you want something built a little tighter with more match grade accuracy, go for the X-Trim.

If you want to really go for the gusto, hold out for the X-Calibur.

You can swap out the MK7 rear sight easily. The Dynamic rear sight from the X-Trim will fit in the standard dovetail.

I really don't think there's much of a difference between the x-trim and mk7. Just weight and maybe a keener eye was used on the x-trim.

Good to know. Who would you order the part from?

HkP30L, has the most comfortable grip I've ever felt and it comes with adjustable sides and back so you can fit it to your size hand.

I bow to your expertize.

Give Dlask a call. My guess is they will have the Dynamic sights on the next order.

Greetings all...I have a need for a new pistol as my G17 is going to a new home..I do like the Glock alot..and I might pick up another...I have no local shop here to try out other hg's..egronomics is a plus..something with a smaller grip is better for me...As well I shoot left handed so ambi controals are a plus too..please advise and help me pick out a new 9 !. Cheers. .R..

What's your primary use going to be?

 

[OC-3]

Glock 19

 

[SA85M1]

For the time being target shooting...at some point perhaps IPSC..I would say id hope to find something that fits my hand well and is accurate. ..

STI 1911 Spartan is a nice starter pistil..

+1 for the Grand Power's. The interchangeable back straps make for a great fit. The grip angle lends itself to accurate shooting and the trigger is the jewel in the crown.

Combine all this with the cheap price on gun itself and for spare mags make the decision a no-brainer.

Thanks...small sights and middle aged eyes...you know how it is.

Yes, the trigger on mine is very good.

Finally a better suggestion of all. 1911 grip to be the most comfortable of all pistol design. But if you want a plastic gun, then the grip of Ruger SR9 fit my xs hand nicely.
