OK, I want a no-nonsense pistol to start defensive pistol competition.
I want a combat 9mm for this. My choice has boiled down to a Glock 17 or an MP9. I already have a Para 1911 and a Beretta Elite II .40S&W, both terrific guns.
I keep dry firing the G and the MP, drawing and presenting, sighting, checking the grip, the sights, the trigger.
Two things keeps drawing me to the Glock. The Glock trigger is much smoother than the MP9's. At least the MP9 I was handling today. And the G sights seem easier to see for my old, tired, presbyopic eyes. And, the grip angle of the G isn't a problem for me.
One part of me says, who cares, it's for DP. It's a combat pistol. The other part of me says, hmm...
The MP is part of an excellent deal: pistol, four mags, a kydex holster, mag pouches, all for about as much as a Glock 17 with one mag. So, I wonder. Gritty trigger. Good deal. Gritty trigger. Good deal.
Then, I thought about how the G's trigger dimple annoys my finger. And then I thought about all the accessories available for the G. And then, I thought about how good the MP medium grip felt.
OK. Put me over the edge. Or, if you are tired of this kind of thread, just let me stew up here alone. MP? G? MP? G?
