Which Glock

[crashdive123]

A while back I parted with a few of my handguns in order to pick up some knife making equipment. With a gun show in town this weekend it may be time to start replenishing. I traded two S&W Sigmas (9 & 40) and a Ruger P89. It may be time to test drive a Glock. Relax, relax.......still got the 1911's. I was thinking G19. Thoughts?

If I had to dispose of all my Glocks but one, I would keep the G-22 RTF (Rough Textured Finish). The RTF feature got a bad rap, in my opinion by some "jack-hole" gun writers. They said it would tear the meat right off your hand. All I can say is they must have "soft hands". Funny they want slippery grip on a Glock, and want sharp checkering on the 1911. Well that is my story and I am sticking to it. (I love my G-24 also)

A Glock 19 is probably the one I would stay with If I could have only one Glock. The Glock 23 would be a real close second. The mid sized Glocks do everything the bigger ones do and carry alot better. Can't go wrong with either G19/23. In fact if you get a G23 you can get an extra barrel to shoot 9mm and an extra barrel to shoot .357 sig. I have a Glock 23 and a Sig 229 set up like this. Very versitile weapons. But you have to start out with the .40 cal breech face because the 9mm breech face is too narrow to change calibers.

Well thats a relief, As long as you have 1911's for real work, the more toys the better
I would truely hate to have had to insert my unsolicited advice (again)

Not gonna bite, Pal . Glock On!

Can't blame a guy for trying

As long as I had a bunch of 1911's, even I may buy a few Glocks for fun

[kyratshooter]

Yep, you need to keep the 1911 around in case something serious happens.

Then just get whichever Glock is cheapest.

So let me get this straight, a Glock G23 has the ability to fit 9mm and .357 sig barrels if you start with a .40 cal to start with?
I'm a big fan of multi load weapons.

Correct: also works with the model G-35 and G-22 and G24.

Never having owned a Glock - do you just change out barrels and magazines?

Plus you can buy extended barrels with or without Ports.

We have a extensive thread on this subject someplace. This ain't it but some info.anyway. http://www.wilderness-survival.net/f...el+conversions

Crash, NOTE: as retired military you can buy a "New" Glock at the special price offered Law Enforcement. I get the LEO price as a Commercial Pilot. Look up the Glock site and go to "Homeland Security" discounts, works for EMS, firemen, any first responders, etc.

Plus you get a free extra third magazine:http://www.wilderness-survival.net/f...el+conversions

Call a cop buddy and find your nearest "Cop Shop" Gun store.

Yep, yep, and YEP! Any of the .40 and .357 Sig pistols can be made to shoot 9, 40, and 357 with a simple barrel change.

That's all there is to it. What's great about Glocks is the truck load of quality after market options you can slap on at your kitchen table. No need for expensive gunsmithing. Tons of options and user friendly. It's a win/ win/ win/ win situation (two "wins'' weren't enough ). The Glock truely is a modern combat pistol icon with simplicity and reliability second to none. ''If it's not a GLOCK, learn how to duck''. I'm done .

Last I checked the L.E. price was $398.00 for standard and about $450.00 with trijicons or mepros. I like the Mepros because they are a lil bit brighter.

You are shooting .45. Stick with that if you have giant hands and can hold the Glock .45.

No sense in stocking another caliber.
