Went to the range the other evening with my kid. Brought along my newest, a .357 revolver and my 9mm 1911. Started putting some rounds down range and wound up striking up a conversation with the younger couple in the next port.

 

Me: You ever tried out a revolver?

Him: Yup, but not too good with it.

Me: Here, give her a go!

Him (after shooting it): Awesome! Thanks. Wanna try my girlfriend's Glock?

Me: Ummmmmmmmmmmmm... ok. I don't really like Glocks but... ok.

 

10 rounds later and I can't get it off my mind. The gent had done a 75 dollar trigger on it but otherwise it was stock. One of the nicest shooting 9's I've shot and wicked accurate. It was the 26 (I believe). Smaller than the 19. Gen 4 I think. Please correct me if I'm wrong on that.

 

Anyway, now I find myself lusting after a Glock. Not really a lustworthy gun in my opinion, but all the same that's where I'm at. Kinda finding it hard to believe. Part of it might be that I'm broke and on a self imposed hiatus from buying anything for a while. But I really did like it. I mean, maybe if I found a good deal on a used one, I could justify it, but I'm really trying to not buy anything else for a bit.

 

That's it. Just a little flubbergasted over the whole thing.

It's the Glock Kool-aid! Wait til you try one with a Vanek or Zev trigger

Try my M&P 9L.....

Try my M&P 9L.....

 

Would love to. Would want "standard" length for myself, but if you're up this way on a sunday/monday, PM me. I may try and make Tenafly next weekend. If not, maybe Bayonne monday evening.

I'm going to try and hit Tenafly next Sunday, you're welcome to try my G19 if we're both there!

And further more...If I can make it we can have a few pieces of tupperware to use.

You can get Plastic Fantastic Designer style as well

 

I still want a chopped G17 to use G19 magazines and a chopped G19 to use baby Glock magazines... can only do that with a plastic fantastic... I would seriously consider getting a G19 frame and chopping it and getting some Advantage Arms 10-round G26 magazines and using it as a dedicated .22LR with the ability to throw the G19 slide on it for concealed carry.

Yea, def get your hands on an M&P or HK before buying a... glock... ick.

Or a Walther PPQ.

Jon - You're a hater!

Guy also had an HK. Was ok. Didn't like where the mag release was. Mag hit the deck with a bunch of rounds in it. That sucked.

 

My buddy has the PPQ which I have yet to try out. Seems like a great gun. He loves it.

 

Would love to try out the 4" M&P, a G19, and an XDm at some point. We'll see.

Glocks are not the best selling pistol for no reason. I have tried and owned many brands of pistols. Glock by far is my favorite platform, Beretta is second. I resisted at first too, then I bought my first one (G21) and never looked back.

 

Sounds like you shot a G26 Gen4. if it was a 2 finger hold it was a G26 for sure. This one might be my all time favorite Glock. I can shoot it faster and more accurately than any other model I own including the Glock 19. Just something about the way that thing fits the hand makes it great for me. If the day comes that we can carry in NJ, the G26 will go with me everywhere.

^^^Yeah. We'll see.^^^

How appropriate... just like a glock!

Topher - we met at Tenafly with your PPQ buddy before. I was shooting a CZ 75 Shadow that night. I have a Glock 34 so if you make it down you're welcome to try it out. I see more 19s and some 17s. 26 is a sweet subcompact.

you should try a glock 20, 15 rounds of 10mm goodness...

I have several Glocks, they are excellent weapons in my opinion. Of the four I have owned, two G19s, a G27 and a G23 not one has ever given me a a fail to feed or fire. They are not pretty, they are functional and that works. I have pretty guns that fill their role just fine and I never shoot them because, well, they are too pretty.

As the saying goes. Kimbers are what you show your friends, Glocks are what you show your enemies.

This is probably one of my final few plastic purchases. I am moving away from the plastic guns. I will keep what I have but don't really see any new ones I like or need. I am actually selling one of my plastic guns too get a few others

i have a 17 and did some trigger work on it and it breaks at around 3.75 lbs so smooth and beautiful. also accurate as all hell and its very durable, kinda like farberware but better!! thats a good excuse when the female asks y u need one

As the saying goes. Kimbers are what you show your friends, Glocks are what you show your enemies.

 

Whenever I hear that I always say "Come shoot my Kimber" cuz it hasn't had a ftf/fte with over 4000 rounds thru it.

 

But, I am still looking at a GloSpringWalSmith kinda plastic gun.

If that's an offer, I'll buy a box. I would love to shoot a 10.
