Looking for a new open carry.

[Hammertime]

I can understand being a little nervous about ship someone else's gun that you don't know but they are the one who is trusting you with it and should be aware of all risks involved. And to go along the lines of the CZ I was in Highsmith Guns in Greenfield a few days ago and there was one with a decocker can't remember the exact model. It seemed nice but I don't really know much about them.

Do you happen to recall what their rental charge is? I looked at their website, but it only mentions range fees.

Welcome to INGO!

Big difference (obviously!) between the classic Sigs and the newer striker-fired designs... Which method and theory of operation do you prefer? Some are not comfortable carrying with one on the pipe in a DAO striker-fired pistol (totally unfounded IMO). Which do you shoot better? What about capacity? Many things to consider.

Those who know me on here know I'm a big fan of the Sig P320. I OC a 9mm full size every day in a Safariland ALS 6378. If and when it clears the holster it's ready to go and the trigger pull is the same every time. Plus it's easy to clean and fully modular (the fire control group can be used with multiple calibers and frame sizes).

Here is a thread I started on the P320 awhile back:

So I didnt want to bump an old thread, but the more I look at the P320, the more it seems like a really really really nice gun.

I think it was $8 but I'm not sure. I have never shot there myself

I have been going to Indy trading post myself only because I got a 10 visit pass for only $40. But I think I will say to Beech Groove Firearms when they open back up. I thought Highsmith seemed a bit high on their range price when compared to bgf

Does ITP Rent ? I'd like to visit the range often, and $18 an hour seems too much. A friend took me to the Elwood Conservation Club, and that was definitely nice, so may have to think about doing that.

$12 for 1/2 an hour plus you have to buy their ammo but it's at a discount. I think most places you would have to buy their ammo if you are renting.

This thread makes me proud I'm on INGO. Noobie shows up asking questions and there are great responses and information.

Welcome HammerTime.

ITP is Indy Trading Post, which I mentioned up thread: Indy Trading Post has a pretty good selection of rental guns. I think Parabellum has started having rental guns as well, but not sure how big the selection is.

Well damn. You sure did, and I feel like the moment I posted that I knew you had too. Thats what I get for being lazy and not double checking. My bad!

If there is intended thing I learned from INGO it's that you will get about 20 responses that all say the same thing.

Might I suggest a P229? It would be slightly smaller than a P226 hence a little lighter, still a high capacity handgun and of course it is Sig quality!

I'll definitely look into it! Outside of the weight, is there any big difference?

Yes, that was my thread and my P320 is humming along and at my side as I make this post. And you are welcome to give it a try, just PM me. I shot at MCF&G and Parabellum mostly. Ali it will cost you is the ammo and $10 guest fee at MCF&G.

And don't forget the holster! The right holster is every bit as important as the right firearm. I carry my Sig safely and confidently (and ready!) in a Safariland ALS holster. It isn't going anywhere and it isn't going off unless I want it to.

Now I think you're just ignoring me on purpose...

The P229 is a bit smaller and lighter, while still performing nearly identically to the P226 and with factory flush mags has the same capacity. It's 1/10th of an inch wider, but shorter in the other dimensions. With something like a Bill Drill, I'm a few tenths of a second slower with it than the P226, with identical first shot times. The difference is solely in recoil control, and honestly I think if I swapped to some grippier grips on the P229 it may come out ahead.

Im sorry. I'm working 12 hour shifts overnight, with more 1-2 hour shifts in between. I'm definitely, not purposefully ignoring your comments. My sincerest apologies.

Edit* I'll pay more attention before replying going forward.
