NEW ONE ON ME ~ Anybody??? - Page 2

It’s a bad idea to develop different grips for different handguns.

And meanwhile I have decently large hands & with a G36 I can't even get my index/trigger finger to point forward using that hold.

It ends up over the top of the slide.

How do you like your G36? My next purchase is going to be either a G30 or G36. Right now I’m leaning towards the G30.

Carried my g-36 for first time today i like it so far

I love mine...it's a really slim, tight, light, package of .45 ~ Mine is very accurate.
To be truthful ~ Some people hate it.
I don't think that it's the best "All Day Shooting/Plinking Fun At the Range" gun. It's a true "tailored to carry" firearm.
I carry mine more than I ever shoot it but I sure can hit with it!
For me it's a natural pointer.
Felt recoil feels a bit sharper than a Colt Light Weight Commander ~ I think mostly due to the shortened butt & less overall grip surface.
The felt recoil does not bother me at all.
This one has been function flawless since "Day 1" but, I only shoot factory ammo.
For me...it's a keeper.

I guess I can see the though behind the idea. Small grip, not lots of room for you hand. I wouldn't , seems I would wind up with my finger on the slide and either get it jammed or stop the slide from fully cycling.

This magic grip crap surfaces. At best, stale horse hockey.

I can't say I've ever heard of it. An informal survey of the guns on my desk right now says it'd work if say my trigger finger was eaten by Barbara Boxer or Diane Feinstein - works with a G17 acceptably but I'm not going to spend an afternoon on it or alter my shooting style. With a Sig 226 (same grip distance as the Israeli-issued 228), it's uncomfortable as heck - but I am a lefty and the index gets in the way with the decocker. WIth a Sig Pro it was actually about normal, which was surprising.

I took the BHP out of the safe, the usual Israeli standard firearm, and laughed hysterically. Shot lefty, you'd be constantly engaging the slide stop- it's a grip designed to turn it into a single shot. Shot right handed, you're going to gouge the living hell out of your index finger on the BHP slide stop pin coming out the right side. ;)

That said, I thought the Israelis weren't too partial to the Glocks because of the trigger+sand issue, but heck, I'm not Mr. Tacticool anyway.

I never heard of the Israeli’s not liking Glocks. Especially due to any “sand” issue, as Glocks will do better in the sand than about any other handgun. My understanding is Israeli military and LEOs used local produced models to save money with special ops and tactical units getting the higher priced Glocks. They are moving towards outfitting more units with Glocks.

Unfortunately the website that I was going to reference on this ( http://www.isayeret.com/ ) is down for maintenance until 3/15.
