Welcome back home to America Tweak.

Thanks KJQ. I didn't see a single gun shop during our limited driving. Weird! I talked to one guy who grew up in Canada but now lives in Arizona. He didn't understand America's love for guns but was considering getting one "because he could". Discussed a few options with him and of course CZ came up. Hopefully we have another convert.

Did you get your Elite in? If so, you'll really have a good time shooting it!

Not yet but it sounds fantastic! Which did you like better, the P10 or the Canik?

Hands down the Canik, which surprised me quite a bit.

 

[churchmouse]

OK....more proof that I am old school...

If I can not see the hammer to actually know what condition the gun is in I do not want anything to do with that gun.
Totally anti-striker fired. Totally.

Guess I should not offer an opinion on this subject...

Morning folks!

Nothing wrong with liking what you like CM. There is a lot of value in being able to put a thumb on the hammer while reholstering a pistol. If anything is caught, you know when you feel the hammer move, not when you launch a bullet. When holstering a striker fired pistol, I've taken to putting my trigger finger between the frame and back of the trigger to feel for movement. That works for all except the last quarter inch of holstering.

It's funny how preferences can color the experience sometimes. When shooting the Canik next to the P10 yesterday, I came away liking the P10 more. Both are top notch for striker fired pistols, but the P10 seemed to fit me better. The Canik has the edge on the trigger and both are accurate but I struggled with the sights on the Canik. I did end up taking a file to the top of the back strap texture on the P10 last night though. It's not the most comfortable texture I've felt, but it sure does plant the gun in your hand. I had my .40 P07 at the range yesterday and that one has the smooth rubber Talon grip tapes applied. They feel really good in the hand, but during a string of 10 rounds, I found that I had to adjust my grip a bit part way through. I was doing 15 round strings with the P10 and the gun stayed planted.

Yep, agree with 88. Nothing wrong with liking what you like. One interesting feature of the Canik is an indicator on the back of the slide that lets you know when the slide has been racked and the trigger is therefore able to fire. It doesn't indicate anything else, but it's a nice way to easily tell the gun is ready to shoot. This gun is the only gun I own that doesn't have either a safety or a decocker. I don't really intend to carry it, just use it as a range gun. For someone who has no issue with striker fired poly guns, it represents a great value and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. Personally, I'll stick with my hammer fired guns with external safeties for carry

That is pretty sweet but there is still room for error there. Human beings and all you know.

OK.....I need a moment alone boy's

When Allen and I sat down with #2 as to putting the red dot on it there was some serious thought involved. To do this right and hold to the standards we agree on he will be machining the slide and making a saddle just like the one on my 2011 that holds the Trijicon. This will be most cool over all. It is adding expense to the build but as stated.....we have standards.

There is always room for error...

it is 26" thick so nothing will get through. Shooting over the top is the real risk. It is 7' tall.

Yes it does........

I believe, that I have met him, once or twice .....
