    I personally do not like glocks, there triggers are too light for a good self defense weapon.... Just my opinion

    I've got a Glock 21 in .45 and yeah, the trigger is kinda light... But its all about what you're used to, I've shot several hundred rounds through it and know where it breaks at.

    Glocks are great, but I just think they are too light for self defense. In a critical situation you will not be studying the trigger, you will be focused on the possible threat.

    Good point. Oh well, I've got 10 rounds to make sure they know I'm not f*cking around :jester: Even if I don't hit them, they won't be coming back :biggun:

    The problem is not missing, the problem is pre-mature firing. Say you are checking your house cus the alarm started going off, and as you are doing this, you are on edge and cautious. You make a corner and your heat/ ac kicks on and the noise along with some paperwork moving from the wind catches you of guard. You will naturally flinch, and then with a light, short trigger pull you crank off a round in your home. It eather goes into a bedroom, or gets stuck in the wall..... Eather way it isn't good. I like long heavy pulls. I can pull shots off hard and fast and stay on target, but don't want to be on edge and pop off a round on accident.

    ^ gotcha. My alarm sleeps at the foot of the bed lol Also don't have a lot of crime around here. The front door is always unlocked and I've left my keys in my truck overnight lots of times, not anything I'm too worried about.

    on your truck, have you thought about doing the Matchboxes for your fogs? Or are you pretty much done modding for awhile?

    I have the rigids in my fogs. I will probably leave them.
