To be sure, outta the box this feels better than the other Glocks I've shot, which were Gen 1/2 IIRC. Even the trigger feels better when I've dry fired it. I guess the proof will be in the pudding in the a.m.

On a side note, I am a little disappointed on one aspect. I was picked up one of the 31 round "assault clips" for it. So I put it in the pistol and loaded it, and it's just sat there. I mean, it hasn't assaulted anything yet. I'm a little underwhelmed.

Well then if that is indeed the case, I guess you and everyone else is free to try. Just a suggestion though. Don't call it a Block, Glumph, or a Glunk. I think it'll be a poor marketing move.

MUST....FIND....G32RTF....MUST....BUY...ANOTHER...GLOCK!!!

You'd be doing yourself a favor as well, quite frankly.

As much as I like your odd posts on things like this you like to push buttons countrygun. This is cool for a bit but after a time you wear out your welcome. Trying to help you out here. You have done this in a few of the threads I have started and I got to say it is funny for a bit, but that is it. Got to learn when to back off man. Just saying.

Back to the original topic..... and to give a little fresh meat for people to flame… and because this thread is not long enough.

I am in need of a CC gun as my P220 is a little big and my P220 classic 22 is not big enough if you catch my meaning. I have heard a lot of good things about Glocks, durable, accurate, lightweight, etc… but I had never fired one.
My brother in-law and I were shooting he let me shoot his new G23. Nice gun but did not fit my hand the way I am used to. This still did not deter me from wanting to look into getting a Glock as my CC gun.

I was at the range today and I rented a G22 thinking it would fit a little better. It did fit better and I shot it fine but something still did not feel right. After 3 or 4 mags of shooting I exchanged it for P226.

I knew before I shot it that I was going to like that gun. Not only does it fit my hand better… it shot like my P220 (shocker I know).

I was dead set on expanding my gun purchases to include a Glock, and that may still happen, but it is going to have to wait as my next purchases will be a P229 40SW.

Just one thing to keep in mind about a Glock rosey1968.
Don't judge it by how it feels slow fire only. If Slow fire was all I did, I would take a Sig every time.
They (Glocks) are much more impressive when shooting the pistol at speed.

Throughout this entire thread, one message keeps coming through loud and clear -- G19, G19, G19. Did I say G19? Lemme look back and see ... yep, I sure did. A few people like the G26 (I'm one of 'em) but the message is still G19.

OK, actually my 2nd Glock. I had a 36 that I had to part with because of a financial down fall. I picked up the 26 today, and I put a couple of hundred rounds through it, without incident.

My new EDC set up, that's a lot more comfortable than the P229 SAS I've been carrying.

Why not? That's where we go to read about all your girlfriends...

I don't think the OP was trying to be funny. If I had to guess, Para is waiting for one more similar comment before banishing HIM to the plastics forum.

I find this thread pretty funny. Mainly because its so true I've bought many Glocks over the years and sold/traded them off for any number of reasons cause they didn't "fit" right usually but for some strange reason, I keep buying more of them. Just picked up a like new G17 3rd Gen yesterday for $400 locally and was pretty happy with it. Hard to pass one up for that. I gave my 19 to a buddy not too long ago that needed a gun and now I want another one of those. Glocks sure have a strange magnatism that surrounds them

Now, on another note, those of you that are posting pics of the G17s and such with the RTF2 (I think) with the cresent cocking serrations, do you find the polymids or whatever they are called to be too aggressive? I really really like the feel of a 17 that they have at the LGS but was a little worried about carrying that one and it abrading my shirts. I wasn't worried about the holster side but the outside area that they main shirt would contact. What do you think of the ones you have bought and carried on an everyday basis???

Cool your jets, Nancy.

Maybe Plaxico will let you shoot his...

... Sigh ... I'm going to do it... I'm going to... RENT A GLOCK TOMORROW

I have fondled many at various gun counters, and felt that the ergos and trigger were... Just not right to me. SOOOO I'm going to rent one to shoot to know for sure. Anyone know of a good soap to wash up with after?

I owned and carried a G26 for 10 years.
Bought it in 1994.
Never cared for the bump in the backstrap, but got over it.
That bump caused me to feel Glocks didn't fit my grip.

But I finally realized that the G19 is one of the greatest combat handguns of my time and rented one.
The grip felt a bit odd at first, but after a few mags I hardly noticed it.
With my natural grip and presentation, I did find the front sight a bit high, but it is quickly adjusted.

I found I did as well with the rental as I do with my Sig and RIA 1911.

Rental G19, 9mm P229 SAS, 9mm RIA Tactical at 15 yards.





So I bought one..



I'm very happy with my G19 and this thread had a lot to do with me trying Glocks again.

Thanks Para..

That is really nice 1lowlife.
If I had to start over buying handguns, that would be the first one I would go with.
