Author Topic: Gun fads. (Read 1072 times)

So I was looking at the Sig web page, checking out the product line, and or looking to see if I could order some parts online. (can't gota call their customer service line)

I noticed that have lots of guns with rails.

I hate rails, Its a fad that should go away. I can not see ever needing the rail, why would you want to install a flashlight or other crap on your handgun?

Night sites would be better.

they have a 1911 type piston and sig is a fantastic company so I would be tempted but it has that stupid rail. Deal braker for me.

You guys think this is a fad that will go away?

Some other fads or maybe fads.

the .45 super
.45 gap (stupid stupid stupid, looks like this one is already dead) ((it looks like GLock did rop the Glock 37, or they dont list it on their web page. So it does look dead, just like I thought it would))
the 10mm (sadly)
the .357 sig (maybe)
.40 SW(should be the fad, the 10mm was a better round)
laser sites
Mounting everything from a front handle to a sling shot and 3 flashlights on your AR-15 you only shoot at the range.
Etc.

What am I missing?

I know I am missing some.

I have one gun that has a rail, but I have no intentions of mounting anything on it. They do have a very important place, though.

Lights are good for home defense. Pitch black, you're awoken by a sound in your house or bedroom, you grab your pistol but you can't see a thing.

Lasers are another good rail attachment for home defense. An attacker can cover 21 feet in less than 2 seconds. Pace off 21 feet anywhere in your house. The average time a person can cover that distance is less 1.5 seconds. In that time you have to draw your weapon, take a stance, aim, and fire. Try it sometime. A laser removes the stance and aim portions. Now you draw and shoot.

The rail is OK with me on the P226.

Oh I know they have their place, though I would rather have good night sites then a flashlight. The flashlight lets anyone around know were you are.

The laser won't help with bad trigger controll either.

but yeah you make good points on those.

Yeah but are you going to mount anything on it?

Why no hammer on that 226? Oh wait no decocker either? Is it Double action only? Avoid Grun.

Double action only is just a bad idea, even worse on a gun you want to use to target shoot.

DAK trigger, a new double action only trigger SIG came up with with only a 6.5lbs pull.

This one would be better, that way you can shoot single action and have a nice crisp trigger.

My S&W has rails, but they only make one type of light that fits on them.

Worthless.

I will try em all before I buy, have no worries about that.

GtoRA2 · « **Reply #9 on:** July 12, 2005, 07:52:48 PM »

6.5 is better then their standard 12 pound double action trigger, but I would want to shoot one before I buy.

Also are the available in Cali?
Did Sig have them tested in the BS cali safety tests?

They were VERY slow to test any of their line, it was like 3 or 4 months after the law went into effect before you could buy any of their guns.

Yep DAK is legal in cali, according to the DOJ website list of handguns.

I'm pretty curious about the DAK trigger, From what I read its more like the Glock action with a consitent light pull but better than the Glock design because you can restrike misfired rounds.

Good article:

MA law requires a 10 pound trigger pull.

I don't know what my Sig is, but my S&W is incredibly hard.

LOL

Speaking of homeboys, GTORA2 that sunnyvale shootout today happened a 100 yards from my house. Heck I can just about see the place from where I'm sitting now.

My sig is 12 Double 4.5 single or so the manaul says.

I could bring a 1911 with a custom 3 pound trigger if you want. I will have to run out and buy a locking case for it though. Plus, Its sites might be off now, I was inspecting it, and the rear site has a dent, lol, I think it may have gotten beat up in one of my moves. I keep it in a little locked foot locker.

My dad built it, and then had the trigger done by some fairly well known local gun smith, sven something, he died years ago.

The back site is an ajustable one from a smith and wesson revolver, I think I can replace the part that has the ding.

It's is NOT the kinda gun you want to shoot if you are rusty though, the trigger is light enough you can fire off two rounds without much of a thought.
