It seems like a great price for that model - is that new? If new - I'd go for it. I've heard both good and bad from the compensated. Most that shoot regularly will tell you it's a waste. "Learn the right way and you won't need compensated." Kind of like the start small people of the motorcycle world.... I'm all for work-smarter not harder.
FWIW - just stopped in this shop today. They have a tiny little gun shop here in Austin and a huge online presence. They sell all the new items for 10% over their cost. www.theonlinegunshop.com Picked this up today, it will be in on Thursday. No shipping because it will be delivered to their shop.http://www.theonlinegunshop.com/shop...STAL-S.A..html Best part of the shopping experience is the three ancient dudes sitting in a corner of the shop talking about "damn kids these days..." while cleaning guns

AL, can't comment on the "C" model, haven't shot one of them but I have a 23 and a 27 that I like a lot. I can hit what I aim at with them and never had a problem with either.
If the seller will let you, see if y'all can test shoot it somewhere first and see if the flash bothers her. Price wise, its a good deal though. I paid $400 for my 23 used but it didn't have more than a few mags run through it and it has night sights. |

If she is 6' tall, she would be laughed at at the range with a compensated. I don't see why a person of that size would need it, even a girl. And $400 for that gun isn't that much of a killer deal that it can't be passed up. Seems like about an average deal to me. I'd take her to a gun show and wheel & deal there, among hundreds of choices.

Im about to make my first purchase after finally getting a range membership and license, and was considering a glock 9mm because they are so cheap to maintain and fire. But, I want it specificly for target shooting, so im going to be looking for something else a little more accurate. But imo, I think Glocks are badass looking guns.

And not sure what difference it makes whether she is hot or not I was just saying I don't see the point of a compensator unless A) you're doing some kind of tactical training, shifting between multiple targets quickly, or B) you're an 90-lb midget. |
