    Combat triggers tend to be heavier as a general rule, but the VZ’s are just bad. :eek:

    Good gun and fun to shoot, but your finger will get tired.

    More of a Sig fan,I like a bit of a lighter pull, but it depends on the action too. Don’t carry in the truck, but love to shoot with friends on the road on breaks.

    From what I’ve see Glock trigger pull weight usually falls in the 5-6+- pound range which is reasonable but the shortness of the trigger pull seems more problematic especially for those who have a lot of time using weapons with longer trigger pulls.

    We have wheelchair carriers. They do well enough on the range. In fact some of them are dangerously good.

    The one handgun that earned a respect from me would be the revolver thunder ranch with the 5 inch barrel in .45+ The weapon was really accurate more than any of my others at that time. The problem was the additional tools and gadgets needed to support bundles of 45 rounds to drop into the cylinder itself. It had a star on to hold all of them sufficiently for the hammer to reach the one to shoot.

    I might get another one later on in life. You could not conceal that worth a darn but it's really good in other situations.

    It doesn't matter what you carry. All guns are dangerous. I'd like to see everyone get at least as much training as they do for a class C license.

    The best safety is the one between your ears. Know your gun. Shoot your gun. Practice your draw seated, standing, laying in bed.

    Be prepared to kill whoever you draw on, you will go to jail for brandishing or threatening. If you're not willing to kill you will probably die.

    Be sure you can do the necessary or, you might want to think about not carrying or, maybe take lessons. One other thing you may want to test yourself, go hunting and kill something like a deer or pig if you haven't done that to see if you can pull the trigger.

    Not trying to step on anyone. Just stating the responsibility of carrying.

    Everyone’s should carry to what they feel is the safest for them, as for me, I’ve been carrying for 3 decades, and have carried condition 1 for nearly the entire time, key thing here is? Practice practice practice!

    For those not familiar with condition 1? Full mag and one in the chamber
