if I had alot of money or T6 was more affordable (and available) I would choose the T6
actually the S4 too maybe.. I wouldn't want the moly though, so S4 it is.

Re: Made a video - Mk 23 vs FsN
Next 45 HG I buy will be the HK45C Tac. I didn't used to like the way HKs fit in my hand, but that HK45 fits great, as well as my 226. And it shoots phenominally. Ya know, I held one, and I liked it. but I don't know. 10 rounds just isn't enough for me. 12 barely does it... lol. I would have gotten...

Re: Made a video - Mk 23 vs FsN
Not to be a negative nancy, but I tend to agree with my buddies on the teams. The Mk 23 is a virtually unusable monstrosity of a handgun. It may shoot very very well, but everyone in the ready room is going to fight not to carry it because it is so huge. That is why they almost all now have HK45C T...

Re: Airsoft FsN for training?
Yeah, one thing you definitely can't train for with airsoft is the flinch that comes with a big muzzle flash and bang.

Re: Airsoft FsN for training?
I'll be honest with you, I think the recoil on a .45 is much smoother and more manageable than the .40S&W. I could be crazy though. it is. I've always considered the .40 more snappy, and the .45 more of a push. shooting a .40 is like shooting a very light 9mm pistol... I had my friend shoot for the...

Im no expert on firearms training, but I'd suspect the lack of recoil might create some overconfidence in your ability to place rapid follow-up shots.
