in scottsdale, at the scottsdale gun club. it was nice. my first time shooting a handgun. so, now i'm looking for a place to go around here (orange county) just to get some practice in and stuff, maybe shoot different types.

i shot an M-1911, and a Glock 21 (i think, can't remember). the 1911 was really nice. the glock, not so much.

so do any of guys know of a good place to go shooting in orange county?

 

If the Glock also shot .45, then it was probably the 21. If I remember correctly, the use of double-stack .45 mags makes the G21's handgrip bigger than most other Glocks -- too big for my moderately-large mitts, whereas the slightly smaller G22 fits perfect.

Conversely, the standard 1911 grip is too narrow for me since it uses only a single-stack magazine, and I can't shoot for shit with it. Thicker after-market grips help, but the angle of the grip is weird for me and I still shoot only mediocre, and any sort of fast-draw point shooting I can't hit the broad side of a barn with it. Damn shame, since it's such a classic gun, and I really like 'em.

Edit - what brand was the 1911?

 

yeah, it shot .45s. i have pretty big hands i guess, but didn't really notice the glock being too big. definitely bigger than the 1911 though.

 

My girlfriend shot a 45 for the first time and had her hand in the wrong place. She got about 8 stitches.

 

I liked the kimber when a few of us went last h:
