Well been away from the computer for a while so I thought I would drop in and see how everyone was doing!

What do yall think about my truck (single cab dually) being lowered in the back with airbags and taking out leaf springs would look? Not lowering the truck just leveling it.

3. Glock 23 mostly out
4. Sig Pro 2022 Very in
5. Para Tac-Forty Very in

Like the looks of both, both feel great, Sig is a DA/SA which I like, Para is only DA.

.........

Any input?

Will have a chance to shoot my buddies Para single stack 45 this weekend if I want... Its a DA only as well and very comparable to the 40 I'm looking at... Never shot a sig...


Brian, I don't know much about the Para. But I can just tell you can't go wrong with the Sig. After the DPDs extensive testing of the Sig, Glock, and Berettas...the Sig won out over the others. 3000 of us carry them. Awesome weapons with a VERY proven track record over the past 20 years.

I am not familiar specifically with the 2022 model. But based on the pic, it looks like it is designed very similarly to mine.....just more compact. I would not hesitate to buy any NEW Sig Sauer. Buy with confidence.

Brian, are you going to go someplace where you can actually shoot different brands and models? Before I bought my 380, I went to the Bullet Trap in Plano and shot 6 or 7 different ones.

Before I actually buy one yes... I want to shoot my buddies para .45 and S&W .357 this weekend... Then I will probably go to a place like you listed to rent a few!

Ur right it is pretty close to yours... Just in a 3.9" barrel... Bit more compact.

No doubt they are both great guns...Really I think my only real issues with the sig is this line right here: "3000 of us carry them"... Sigs are a dime a dozen, seems like everybody and there grandma has one... My 'wanting to be different' gene is pointing the other direction.. (sad isn't it?? )

Wow man what an offer... It would figure that this would be the weekend that my sister is flying in from MN and I'm heading down to the W to meet them after I get out of class today... Don't suppose the W would mind?? I'm sure a place like that has an underground shooting range right??

When you coming back up?
Going to see your baby on the way down? (yes I was talking bout the truck! )
