Unique criteria for buying a handgun.

[wildcatfan.62]

weight is key for me. I want to be able to OC while in a banana hammock. I usually strip down to my grape smugglers at the gun store then strike several seductive poses. If the gun can handle my karate high kicks without shifting position or exposing my genitals its a GO! Most guns don't cut it though and, after wiping the sweat off, go back into the display case for the next guy to buy.

Vitamink pls remind me to never shop the same store on the same day as you do Maybe after an overnight in the case it might be ok.

The only thing I really shy away from is polymer guns. If Josey Wales had a Glock, there would have been no movie. He would have dug a molten pile of plastic out of his burnt house, done a face palm and went back to farming.

No safety is a big one in a carry gun for me. Yeah, I could leave the safety off, but a gun with no safety is designed that way. Other than that, I don't have major things. I have preferences, but that never really rules something out, just makes me gravitate more to certain guns.

I used to have criteria like: had to be .45, had to hold seven or more, had to be metal; Now they only have to be Glock and 10MM.

My main concerns for handguns are: feel to the hand, natural ability to point, capacity, and reliability.
