Finally did it....my first handgun purchase

[WVisHome 0]

Not that it's all that special to most of you 'enthusiasts', lol....but I finally made my first handgun purchase today!


Kind of a big deal for me, as technically this is only my second gun purchase ever.


I picked up the Glock Gen 4 G27 that I've been talking about for a while now. Now that I live in DE...I truly feel your pain. Walked into the store and walked out with it in about 20 minutes (if you include all the bs'ing).

There is zero reason for what NJ is doing to people.



 

 

 

My collection is now up to 5. (Rem 700, Rem 870, Marlin 60, M91 Mosin, and now the G27). I also have a bolt action Marlin 22 at my dad's house.

Every gun purchase should be celebrated. Especially when it can be done in 20 mins. Hell, I can't even get pizza that quick anymore. Congrats.

Congratulations, I'm sure it won't be your last either!

 

Not a fan of glocks, but hey maybe someday!

[CMJeepster 2,781]

Very nice!

[DLF 1]

Congratulations.

 

My fault, I guess.

It's all your fault DLF!  Haha.

 

 

Thanks everyone....now...ammo is gonna become a major expense, lol.

[DLF 1]

It's all your fault DLF!  Haha.

I just edited my earlier post to take responsibility.

I actually wasn't a fan of any semi-autos until recently. I was raised in a revolver household.

 

The Glock is so...simple. My brother has 3 Glocks himself.

 

 

I think my next one will either be a Mark II/III Ruger, or I'll hold out for a 1911. I've always wanted one.

[Clintoon Eastwood 2]

Get a 1911 and never look back!!

Was going to say what the heck did you buy a baby Glock for, as you can't carry one in NJ - but then I saw you are not in NJ - Lucky you.  I used to live in Wilmington many years ago, but my Glock is a full size G22 as I might as well have the big boy so the bad guy can clearly see it.

 

(actually worked down in your neck of the woods in Del. City)

I actually shoot it better Howard. Beats me....but I liked shooting the subcompact over the compact and the full size.

[DLF 1]

I let him try all three, my 22, 23, and 27. He liked my 27 with the. 357 Sig barrel the best.

Decisions, decisions....stock up on 40 ammo, or go for the 357 barrel, lol.

Question for this Glock noob......

 

 

 

The dealer said that it comes with some sort of factory copper "break in" lube, and not to clean it til around 400 rounds.


That doesn't seem right to me....any special procedure for breaking in a Glock?

[DLF 1]

The .357 Sig ammo is usually more expensive. Stock up on some .40 first, then decide on the barrel.

I've cleaned mine after every range visit, but I left the copper lube in the slide channels for the first few hundred rounds.

[Howard 538]

Mine did not have much of the copper lube, so I just cleaned it after first use.  I use Ballistol and clean it every time I use it.  Do you have a compact mag in it or do you use an extended mag?  I just find it strange to shoot with my pinky finger hanging in mid air.

If you can find one get a Browning Buckmark .22 pistol. I was set on getting a Ruger but once I held the Buckmark I was sold. I liked the little extra weight in the Buckmark and the magazines are super easy to find.

Congrats and lucky you for the hassle free purchase!!

[Brownie^HP 6]

Congrats, lets us know how she shoots. I've heard that the G27 is real snappy!

[Maksim 1,504]

Congrats on the Glock.  Aren't you glad you Quit NJ?

 

humn... good bumper sticker... Quit NJ.

[WVisHome 0]

I. LOVE. IT.


Not too bad for my first time out with it. Now keep in mind, I very rarely shoot pistols, and the last time I did was what, going on 3 weeks ago?  Before that, I can't even remember.

 

Although I must admit...this was only at 7 yards.

It was a series of fortunate events that led to my exodus from NJ....and yes, I'm glad, lol.
