That was exactly the conclusion that I came to (after getting smacked with an attack of common sense).Originally Posted by DocGKR
That was kind of the point of my thread comment-but thanks for backstopping it with your concurrent observations and experience, Doc.

what is your trigger pull down to with this set up. was thinking about the same in my G19 and this sounds promising!
5# with little to no overtravel.
In light of all the Gen 4, and late Gen 3 issues, assuming you have a reliable Glock, an HK is certainly as reliable and accurate as any service pistol, works in 9,40 and 45, gives you a choice of trigger systems, choice of a thumb safety, and a hammer for AIWB.
If it doesn't mean skipping food, I would just put the M&P pistols aside, and focus on Glock for now, so you don't have to buy and set-up the M&P pistols when you come back to them in the future. My rule is if you have one wife, you can afford more than one pistol.
nice. just installed the Ranger 4.5 connector only, without changing any springs. trigger pull is right at 5# +/-, nice crisp break and very positive reset as far as i can tell like stock. originally measured at 6.5-6.75# with stock connector. very pleased right now. less than 500 rounds through it no issues
I have been at this brink a few times, also with the P30, but never took the plunge. Also been at this brink with 1911s as well. Its never ending, something in our monkey brain tells us "there must be something better out there" even if there is nothing wrong with what we have.
Tell me about it..I've got some magnificent 1911s, including a Nighthawk Custom Talon II that I totally spec'ed out, and is exceptionally accurate, and reliable once totally broken in at the 800-900 round point. The only problem is, I'm not as accurate, or as fast with a 1911 as I am with my Glocks.
I'll freely admit that I have more dry-fire and hammer time on my Glocks. The conundrum is, should I park my Glocks and build up commensuerate 1911 hammer time? My compromise is that for a several month stretch, I do concentrate almost exclusively on my 1911s, for practice, carry and competition. But for the bulk of the year, I'll use my Glocks. They're accurate, reliable, durable, and easy to carry-and I'm personally at my best with them.
This year has been a bit of an exception-I've been concentrating on my Beretta 92D, due to a combinanation of circumstances. It's a good gun, and I'm enjoying working up on it. But after our Washington State IDPA match in August, the Beretta will be primarily used as a nightstand gun, and I'll revert to primarily using my Glocks.

You should do whatever YOU feel like. While I understand the advice to a new shooter, to pick one platform and stick with it, it may or may not make sense for you, depending upon your interest, goals and the time you spend shooting. If your performance degrades, because of the variety of platforms, that is a clue. If your performance improves, shooting several platforms, that would be another clue. I love wild salmon, and eat it frequently, but only eating wild salmon soon becomes dull for me. That may or may not be the case for my neighbors here in Alaska.
Still shooting Glocks. The M&P wasn't fixed then despite numerous changes throughout the years. The efforts involved to get a few that were acceptable far exceeded what I was willing to put into it since I gotta pay for my guns and my ammo and evaluate them on my own time. I do have a P320 now that seems promising and for the fuck of it I am getting a Shadow 2 and possibly a P-07. Not sure any of those will replace a Gadget'd Glock but the hammer fired guns have some sexy triggers. Plus I like buying stuff.
Think for yourself. Question authority.
Does it count that I'm seriously considering replacing my Glock 42 with a 9mm S&W Shield?
I might be off topic.
