so i took the wife to a hand gun instructor today. indoor range, and we had to buy their ammo. <-------remember this
he asked what we brought to our class and i told him 2 sig 226 9mm, and 2 sig 938 9mm. he kinda made a face, curled his nose and said, "i am not impressed." he went on with how much better glocks are, blah, blah, blah.
mind you, i am not bashing glocks.
i preceded to tell him that they all bang everyitme you pull the trigger, sigs are what we like and that is what really matters. he replies with a "no they don't. i have seen sigs fail blah blah blah. my glocks goes bang blah blah blah"
he went on again to tell me that 9mm are stupid, a glock 45 is the best, blah blah blah. he can have my wife shooting a glock 45 better than a sig 9mm blah blah blah.
so, my wife is a horrible shot. she only shot the 226 maybe 100 rounds and the 938 20 rounds about a week ago to get her familiar with the guns before our class.
and of course, she was doing bad. that's fine. she is new.
so the instructor pulls out his super duper glock 45 for her because "i can have her shooting a glock 45 better". she looks at me with concern and asks if it is going to kick harder. of course i told her no.
EDIT #2 (1-24-13 6:07 pm EST) i can't beleive i forgot this the first time:
as he pulls out his super duper glock 45, he brags about how much better the trigger is because he had it reworked to a 1.5lb pull. there is no creep in the trigger. he showed my wife the difference, and i agree, i get it. then he preceded to say the sig triggers are junk compared to his super duper glock trigger, the... he literally said this..., "the gun will go off before you even realized you pulled the trigger resulting in a perfect shot". again, i agree and i get it.
she gets ready....BANG!!!
she gets ready....click....
the instructor goes over, clears the malfunction
she gets ready....BANG!!!
she gets ready....click....
so at this point, i'm thinking the instructor is giving her dud/snap caps every other round because she kept flinching the whole class. the indoor range is obviously louder than the outdoor range we went to. i was thinking he was trying to get her to not to anticipate.
the instructor goes over, clears the malfunction
she gets ready....BANG!!!
she gets ready....click....
he looks at me and says "we have crappy ammo here"
hmmmmm......now i see what is going on. when he was with her, i just let him do his thing and teach and didn't interrupt.
the instructor goes over, clears the malfunction
she gets ready....BANG!!!
she gets ready....click....
he gets all huffy, hands her the little 938 thinking it is going to do the same thing. it goes bang for all 7 rounds. looks around, gives her the 226, it goes bang for all 15 rounds.
he was kinda pissed that his super duper glock 45 kept having malfunctions.
so after he realized he had to eat his words, i tactfully pointed out that my wife was limp wristing the 45 and that is why to wouldn't go into battery.
"oh oh oh, yeah i know."
