THink...pistol weight.....The Glock kicks because it is so light....
On the other hand, my pants sometimes fall to the floor at the unrinal...due to the weight of my 45....GRIN.
I should be more specific.
I have a g23 and g23c (compensated).
It was the g23 that I was comparing to the .45.
I shoot w/ both hands don't know the tech name for my stance feet are shoulder lenth apart knees and elbows slightly bent.
Can put three in the ten ring from 7yds.
"On the other hand, my pants sometimes fall to the floor ..."
I hate it when that happens!
That's why we wear SUSPENDERS when we age to the "Lapover" physiotype..
Going to the loo under arms can be a challenge; did you hear the one about the undercover cop whose piece went off as he was sitting down, and blew the crapper behind him into a million pieces?
Or the other one who hung his roscoe by the trigger guard on the coathook on the door, only to have it discharge; the recoil made it spin around the hook, and with every turn it pulled the trigger again, making it go full-auto like a pinwheel until the magazine was dry.
Apparently no one was hurt, but the cop probably had some nasty skivvies, and a lotta 'splainin' to do!
Using public facilities presents challenges in that if you use a belt carry, the pistol will tend to gravitate to the floor, where we really don't want it - and it could be seen under the partition, creating a stir.
I generally slip mine out of the holster and lay it in my trousers where I can see it, but no one else can. Try not to make too much noise clearing it, as again it could make the neighbors jittery.
And for gawdsakes, don't do like a buddy of mine who was a local cop at the time did, and shoot himself in the arse with his .380!
