The only mods I've ever done to Glocks was a 3.5 connector on a Gen 3 26 and night sights on them all.

Good choice. My G34 has a Ghost Rocket 3.5 connector, which was installed by Bruce Gray. The trigger pull is noticeably different from my other Glocks, all of which have factory connectors. The G34 has a shorter/smoother/lighter trigger pull, with no overtravel, and an even more pronounced reset.

Where are you guys finding 10mm ammunition? I don't think I've ever seen even one box of it around here (northern Illinois), and I'd hate to be reliant on mail order.

No question about, especially when the end product is more about trailer-park trashiness than anything else. Aside from the nicer trigger feel (I do like ZEV's trigger action improvements over stock) and the improved grippiness of the texture makeover, the rest of their remaining "improvements" are anything but. Both of those positives apart from the rest hardly comes close to justifying the huge price bump even if the frame and slide had been properly fitted. But charging $700 extra for a gun as poorly put together as what I saw compared to bone stock is laughable at best; hell, even if the gun had been the same price as a bone stock Glock it would be a cruel joke. That bad it was for a purportedly NIB gun.

So I get a new CZ 75 PO1, S&W 642 with moon clips a NOS Bulgy Makarov and my trusty FN HiPower. All great shooters.
Tonight I put the new guns through their paces completely satisfied. I only get 3 on my permit (CA) Decisions....

So I brought along some 45 and decided to have a few last shots with the Glock 36 as my Carry gun. Took it out of my IWB replaced the CCW ammo with quality target ammo...
HOLY Crap.... BIG MISTAKE>>> HUGE!!!
It was as if the Gun was saying HEY STUPID.... Do you get it yet... ?
Can't argue with results... The CZ and J frame will be added to my permit but the GLOCK stays.
ODDLY Faster to shoot and easier to control. Than the CZ or P35 as well.

Hard to beat the reliability and short trigger reset of a Glock for a carry gun.

Since buying a console safe and mounting magnets for my new pickup, I think the Gen 2.5 G26 will be designated as a full time truck gun.
The LCP (soon to be replaced with a Kahr CW380) is carried on me, except when at work.
I can't carry while on duty.
It is also locked in the safe when at work.
Better than locking it in the glove box like I did in my old pickup..







I was never big on leaving a gun in my vehicle at all times.
But this will be secured 24/7...

What brand safe is that?

I seriously doubt that I will ever buy a Glock. They just don't work well for me. But I secretly envy those for whom they do work well.

I accept the fact that they are simple to operate, reasonably priced, extremely durable, and reliable. There is an overwhelming variety of accessories devoted to and targeting Glock owners. In most gun shops I frequent, whole aisles are devoted to Glock magazines. I have noticed this while searching for spare mags to fit my Beretta Cougar, which invariably are nowhere to be found.

I also accept the fact that Glock was a damned genius. That a polymer guy who started out making curtain rods and handicapped by a first name like "Gaston" could design his first handgun at age 52 and thereby revolutionize an entire industry that dated back hundreds of years is truly amazing.

But I've handled dozens of Glocks and shot a few and they just don't do it for me. First, they are butt-ugly. That alone would not cause me to refrain from buying one, but the non-standard angle the grip makes with the bore axis causes me to point them poorly. Also the palm swell on the backstrap doesn't fit my hand. And the rectangular feel of the grip is also just not right.

So I probably will never own a Glock. But if I ever do, I'm going to name mine "Gretchen".

Lock'er Down

To purchase: Mobile Security Plus

Proudly made in San Antonio TEXAS...

5 different lock options.

I chose the 4 digit combo because I didn't want to have to pull my keys out of the ignition just to open the safe.

I used the discount code at the end of this video and got 15% off. NFA15

I have no affiliation with this company, but they sold me a great product with great service.
I ordered it on a Monday at noon and had it the next day ground FedEx, but they are only 4.5 hours south of me.
