It will be easy to shoot for a beginner, and the ammo is cheap. After using a Glock and getting the technique down, it made it easier to use a later.
In about , the Series 80 was introduced with a key feature of a trigger-activated firing pin safety. Series 70 s have no safety plunger in the slide. The shooter must press the trigger to unblock the firing pin for Series 80 s. The is an extremely reliable pistol. It is simpler to use than the , and once the trigger is mastered, is just as accurate in combat.
Glocks can fire tens of thousands of rounds without malfunction or damage, and are more corrosion-resistant than the It is also less expensive, on average, than the , and fits small-statured shooters better. Most people think of the difference between a Series 70 and Series 80 as being all about the safety. The Series 80 was created by changing the Series firing pin safety or lack thereof. Series 70 is in this context just refers to the original GI system, without the Series 80 firing pin safety.
The FP safety keeps the firing pin fron contacting the primer for a possible AD when the pistol is dropped, muzzle down, on a hard surface. Series 70 up side is a cleaner trigger pull. Basically a Colt Combat Commander with upgrades without the inflated Colt price. The grip safety works by blocking any rearward movement of the trigger bow unless the gun is gripped in the hand.
The sear spring applies pressure to both the back of the trigger bow and the grip safety. There are certain features that define a , and the grip safety is possibly the most prominent feature on them. The sear spring is a flat leaf spring having three legs, that works as a return spring for the sear, disconnect and grip safety. When viewed from the rear, the leg on the left works the sear, the leg in the center works the disconnect and the leg on the right works the grip safety.
So how does the disconnector work? Located in the grip of the pistol adjacent the sear, the disconnector acts on the sear in a manner that prevents the hammer from falling in case of a trigger pull while the slide is out of battery. Part of how a trigger works is that rearward motion of the trigger causes the lower sear lever to tilt forward toward the barrel. The is best carried in Condition 1, or "cocked and locked" where the hammer is cocked and the manual safety engaged.
Some holsters, due to how the gun rides in them, may snag the safety and deactivate it. This isn't necessarily a safety hazard - the has a grip safety that must be depressed in order for the trigger to be pulled - but that doesn't mean this should be overlooked.
Given the weight of the pistol, it may also be desirable to find a holster that spreads the weight out to a certain degree. IWB holsters with flexible wings are best suited for IWB deployment, and OWB holsters should at least have a solid belt attachments method, such as a hard plastic paddle or solid belt slide attachment. The pistol is an American icon, but there are - in perfect candor - some shortcomings.
Capacity is limited by modern standards; standard magazine capacity is only 7 rounds, and there are compact pistols that hold double that number and are easier to carry every day. Weight is also something to be aware of. Since most pistols are made entirely from steel, they are heavy. Most weigh in at or above 35 ounces and when fully loaded exceed 3 pounds, which is a lot of weight to carry on the hip all day.
A pistol may require a bit more attention than the typical poly striker gun. The longer slide rails have to be lubricated to function at their best, though a weekly light cleaning and lubrication is good for any pistol.
Then there's the single-action, hammer-fired operation. This necessitates carrying either with an empty chamber - requiring the slide to be racked if drawn, which is nearly impossible with only one hand and time-consuming - or the gun must be carried with the manual safety engaged or "cocked and locked.
While some people feel the cocked hammer means a greater chance of an accidental discharge, the truth is a cocked and locked has several redundancies in place. First, the manual safety locks the hammer and the grip safety - when not being deactivated by holding the pistol - blocks the sear, preventing the trigger from tripping the hammer.
Lastly, if a pistol is of Series 80 design, there is also a firing pin block that can only be deactivated by pulling the trigger. Thus, a Series 80 has three safeties engaged while carrying in this manner.
Another thing to be aware of is the Achilles' heel of the pistol is the magazines. Factory mags can be of varying quality; some are great and some should be tossed straight away.
As a result, it's a good idea to invest in some quality magazines. Like any mechanical system, there are inherent limitations. Once they are understood, and the operator takes care of the pistol as it is supposed to be cared for - meaning kept clean and well-oiled for best operation - it is a reliable, accurate pistol platform. Given all this, why is the pistol so popular? For several reasons. A decent example, with moderate care, is a powerful, accurate and reliable sidearm that can be trusted to save your life if needed.
It is also one of the darlings of competitive shooters. The ergonomics are also a strong selling point. Few guns sit in the hand and point as naturally.
Some find this makes for more intuitive aiming and thus easier accurate fire. There is also the trigger. Many shooters find the trigger better than almost any other pistol in existence, even on what some would consider lower-end guns. Good triggers have minimal creep, with a crisp single-action break and many are fantastic out of the box. Part of this is the trigger design. Most triggers are a lever, which must be pulled to the rear to trip. The trigger travels straight back, riding in grooves for a smooth, short travel.
As a result, trigger control is not difficult with many pistols, a feature many appreciate. Another appeal is the generous aftermarket support. The sheer number of aftermarket parts and accessories for the gun is astounding.
Just like a muscle car, you can buy a "beater heater" and customize it to your satisfaction. Take a budget gun and add the bits you want until you've created the gun of your dreams. These are some of the reasons why so many people have one or more pistols for recreational shooting, personal protection, service use and also sport shooting, as s are very common competition guns.
