[QUOTE="Wile E Coyote, post: 1035103, member: 28381"] The CC II I shot was relatively new at the time this past summer. My buddy bought it in the spring for the same reasons we have. I thought the fit and finish is/was very good. If I had the cash, I would not hesitate to buy one as the full size IS a bit much sometimes. I found the laser awkward but that was the first time I ever fired live with one. Its temptation won't take long to get used to though. I'm tempered by the mindset that I must learn the old fashioned, mechanical, analog method before relying on the electronic stuff. Remember when a battery's is most likely to fail? when they're most needed. Thinking this way, one can still function. In terms of accuracy, the full size has the smaller barrel beat though, at least in my hands. The full size 5" barrel is much easier to get on target and keep it there than is the 3 or 3.5" models. The short sight radius, like any gun, is more demanding on the execution of one's technique more exactly to achieve the same result. The up side to this is these tools are used inside 10 yards and God willing we'll never have to use em. During that shoot and early on the CC II did jam once in a while but my SA did too. In my case, a few boxes of ammo seemed to get everything seated and settled in. I used that time and ammo to get familiar with the gun and learn how to clear it in a hurry - on the first try. Lou's gun is broken in now and we don't discuss jams anymore. Handle each of the guns again tomorrow. Run the actions, dry fire them. Of all, you certainly know what to look for mechanically. Which one fits in your hand most comfortably? Then go with your gut. When you make the choice, commit to it. That is the advise I got when I bought my 1911. This from someone who has carried for years as a SP in the service and in LE later. He instilled in me the idea that the pistol isn't a wife but it is the next best friend ya got. Someday, when you need help, that friend has to be there and you have to trust that friendship. Kinda corney but accurate. Each of those guns you are looking at is well made. If they pass the mechanical inspection, it becomes a question of ergonomics and your choice will be different from mine or anyone else for that matter. Pete [/QUOTE]
