That 'was' a pretty good price. Now the ad says 'Price on Request'. We've been camping the past few days and didn't get the order in. John (Gun Nut) H. -- Hope you're having a great day! |

Kimber does make a nice mini 9mm that my neighbor has. It is $1500 or so. I'll check it out. Yup, that may be worth looking into.

Does he find he laser site helpful? I've seen only one in use at a range, and it magnified the 'shaking' so much the individual aiming the weapon finally turned it off. I think he was just embarrassed. John (Gun Nut) H. -- Hope you're having a great day! |

John (Gun Nut) H. ----------------------------------- Based on the limited experience I've had, I think the lasers installed in handguns are a total waste of time. Unless you shoot indoors at a somewhat darkened range, they aren't strong enough to illuminate the target. I do most of my range shooting at an outdoor range and the lasers are totally worthless. The Walther PPK and the S&W Bodyguard both have lasers. Can't see them outdoors at 25 yards. In fact, I can't see them even at 10 yards outside in sunlight. They work ok in the house but unless there's an intruder, what's the point? And if there was ever a life threatening confrontation with an intruder, it's going to be a relatively close range and I am not going to worry about taking the time to turn the stupid laser on. The only firearm I have that has a laser strong enough to see outdoors at a reasonable range is the one installed in the Ruger 10/22 rifle that I recently purchased. But, I still don't bother using it. It's a stronger laser but the battery life is limited. I mounted a scope on the rifle and, after boresighting and adjusting the laser, I used it to adjust and calibrate the scope. Haven't used it since. I wouldn't pay anything extra for a laser. If it comes standard with the gun, fine, but I wouldn't go searching for a laser equipped handgun based on that feature alone. Greg may have a point in using the laser to help with the 'yips'. One could dry fire at the TV and try to keep the laser steady. I'd be hesitant to use it at the range until I could control it well enough to keep folks from laughing at all the jiggling.

Red point lasers are not intended to *illuminate* a target, if you mean by that lighting it up. They are to tell you if you are pointing at your human target, and not to the left or right of or above your target. On a handgun, if you are shooting targets, a nice red dot sight like this one... http://tinyurl.com/nl8dkut ....from Burris is pretty good. With the right red dot sight, a good shooter with steady hands can place his rounds precisely. The red dot is "projected" within the sight, not onto the target. A good target pistol will easily accommodate a rail on which you can mount a red dot sight. |

John (Gun Nut) H. -------------------------- Don't worry about the laughter. Unless you are indoors, they won't be able to see it either. I learned to reduce the jitters by simply relaxing a bit, and also not locking my elbows and arms. It's like when I first tried golf. I was gripping the club so hard my fingers where turning white. A friend who was an experienced (and very good) golfer noticed and worked with me to relax my grip. He had me walking down the fairway shaking my hands like they were wet and I was trying to air dry them. At the next tee, I tried my new, improved "relaxed grip" and tossed the club about 25 yards down the fairway. Re-adjusted a bit back to a slightly stronger grip and my golf game improved dramatically. |
