I don't even think about it. Is there another way?

That's easy to do when you aren't shot. Much harder with one hand or in a close quarter fight with someone beating your head in. Just saying.

Ahhh, now it makes sense...in a close quarter fight with someone beating your head in you just pull the trigger again after waiting a few seconds...

Got it

Unless you practice it-which I do. I understand what you're saying but if you have it in your head that all you have to do is pull the trigger again, that's what you'll do when you have some other kind of stoppage under stress.

After a couple years of looking at this post and thinking I would never surrender, it happened. First a G20, not because I wanted a Glock, because I wanted a 10mm. I tolerated the fact that it was a Glock.

Yesterday I came home with a G19. It makes me feel kind of funny in my pants.

This secret has been tearing me up.

Tap, track, bang.

While Sig is still the only brand I own two of, I made the plunge less than a a week ago. I now have a Glock 36. Possibly the only model slim enough to fit my hands.

Most of you know this is a 6+1 shot .45 ACP.

My first impression was "What a horrific trigger!" It was marked at 5.5 lbs. pull but measured 8.0 out of the box. One cleaning and 200 rounds later, it was still over 7#. Despite this, I am surprisingly accurate with it.

Yesterday, I installed a Ghost Ranger 4.5 connector and did the 25 cent trigger job (Flitz). First, what an easy gun to work on. Second, the measured result isn't very close to 4.5 #. Anyone know if that's only when you add a spring kit? I've no plans to do that as this will be a carry gun.

I'm gonna give this 150 -200 rounds before final judgement.I already like it better than the Nano trigger. That's mushy and has a long reset by comparison.

We're at 5.75# and hopefully falling. Otherwise a small investment worth the learning experience. My first full detail strip.

This Glock rocks.

The only way I would own a Glock is if someone gave me one and then I would sell it and put the money towards another Sig.

In spite of all the recent frenzied madness I too contribute to this ballistic economic insanity (besides, the boss gave me a discount I just couldn't pass up on). The latest, in Gen4 flavor:

Good point. My other concern would be a squib if the round does fire the second time.

Anyway, I like both Sig and Glock but prefer Glock. For me, among the things that can go wrong, second strike isn't a deal breaker for me.
