I am looking to by a set of pistols (9mm and 45) - one may or may not be tactical. At the FFL today they had 5 brands available - first time I was able to hold that many to make a comparison - only one they didn't have was S&W - wanted to hold M&P.
Initial thoughts:
1. HK - held the HK30L. This one felt the best, but the mag release very confusing. I am not sure how my strong hand (thumb) would release. I had to adjust my hand to get the thumb on the lever.
2. Springfield XDm - Second best feel but the button at the back (grip safety) where your palm felt weird. I think it was the only one that I tried that had it.
3. Glock 21 gen4 - When looking at the gun from the side you can see through the slide, why is that? All the others were tight.
4. FN - dont remember if it was the FNH or FNX, but this had the worse feel. The tips of my fingers were pricked by the sharp grip (probably would wear down over time).
5. Sig 226 - don't remember too much from this one. Have to go back again to try the feel.
After holding these, I would want to shoot the HK and Springfield for sure. Probably the Glock and maybe the Sig.
My questions:
1. Any ranges that rent HK near Southern MD? Preferably one that had the most of these.
2. Any responses to my observations?
3. Suggestions?
