how do I love thee, let me count the ways

I was shooting this morning with a prospective client, a dental guru. He's in his 60's and familiar with 1911's, so I let him shoot the 30. He had a little trouble with the 10-round mag pinching his finger between the baseplate and the frame, but did ok with it.

I put him in the 17 and he did much better. He insisted I shoot the 30, and we shot together. Since we were only shooting at 10 yards, I was blowing the center out of the bullseye on my target. My target spots (paste on's) were being blown off the target, in shreds.

He did well, but I love to shoot the 30. BTW, I was using 10-year old Norinco ammo, a box of 10+ year-old Winchester, and whatever else I wanted to use up.

Then my wife shot it.... and liked it.... !!!

Pearce fingertip extensions will take care of the pinky pinch.

If your wife likes it, buy her one too! I wish mine did...

I was surprised about his pinky being pinched... with the 10-rnd mags. Perhasp the 9's would not do it.

You aren't the first one to complain about that. The 9 round mags won't do it.

thanks for the clarification on the 9 vs 10 round mags. It doesn't bother me a bit.

One more way that I love the G30 - I was shooting full-power hardball and it recoiled so gently and smoothly...... my former 1911 used to jump in my hand and jerk around, regardless of how I handled it. My 60+ friend was shooting it one-handed and it wasn't recoiling a lot eiter for him.

Gotta love that!
