Ergonomics. As in...the controls are located and function in a manner which is more easily/naturally manipulated...and the whole firearm just sits and feels better in the hand. It's subjective...just my opinion on it.AZ1182 said:What's ergos?Bullzaye said:I was including that in my statement, "feels great in the hand, has much better ergos..."
AZ1182 said:i know what ergonomics is, but a quick google showed nothing for ergos.
And I respect your opinion, just didn't know why ergos was being used instead of its correct use, so I asked to clarify because I have seen the latin use of ergos being used as substitute for the word, therefore.
I was confused at the mentioning of how something can feel better in the hand, therefore, and not finish the rest of what you saying.
Thanks for clarifying though, I'm not big on speaking colloquial. Take care.
Bullzaye said:The Walther of course is more iconic. It not only has the James Bond appeal and mystique, but also the WWII historical appeal. For sexiness and recognition...tough to beat the PPK. I agree...don't get the Smith & Wesson version.
However...if I were choosing between the two as a defensive pistol, fun plinker, or if the accuracy/reliability/pleasure of shooting was a major factor...I'd choose the Sig P230. One of the finest .380s made (I've never fired a Beretta M.84 or 85, or the Browning version...but I understand they're excellent pistols, and I believe it!). It's a tad large, but nothing outrageous, feels great in the hand, has much better ergos and controls versus the PPK, has a better trigger, handles HPs better, has better sights, and is generally a better shooter.
That's my $.02. Ideally...get one of each. Also, the Berettas, Browning, and a CZ83. I'm still looking for a nice (reasonably priced) Beretta or Browning.
