No .45 GAP. Get one of the new 21SF models. It will sit a lot better in your hand. I'd say look for a Gen2 G19, but my opinion is biased.

It is peachy keen that Bruce Gray has come to the dark side.

Wanted to shoot my new to me Glock 17 RTF at the local USPSA match today but didn't have a good holster. Next month I for sure will.

I have both the 38 and 39 and like the thinner frame (vs. my G30 & G21) and enjoy shooting the round as well. Could just be the drugs but the GAP seems to shoot softer than the ACP in Glocks. I buy the ammunition online and the prices average the same as ACP. Results from tests I've read seem to indicate equal performance with ACP as well.

Now who on earth went and put a Glock thread on a Sig forum??

Me?
I have a bunch o' Sigs.

Oh, and this little guy.
I shoot him as good or better than my Sigs but I'll deny that in public.

I like your sights. The ones on your 26, that is.

I am very pleased with my new Glock 20SF. I'm still getting used to the trigger since it is quite different from my Sigs which are all da/sa and have the Sig AEP and short reset trigger. This will be a woods gun so I have shot 50 rounds of Hornady 200gr xtp thru it and this morning I tried the Doubletap 230 gr WFNGC rounds, which to my knowledge are the most powerful rounds available for 10mm. I was impressed with the way the Glock frame absorbed the recoil. The gun is very accurate with my Lone Wolf 6" barrel and a pleasure to shoot. I won't give up my Sigs anytime soon but I am a new Glock 10mm fan for sure.

I sent my Glock 21 in for a PM service back in June...I have not seen it back yet. This thread is killing me.

Buffalo Bore seems stronger than D/T; however, this is purely subjective and based on felt recoil and noise. One of these days I will put up a chrony and find out for sure.

One thing I am sure about though: 10mm is far and away a better "woods" round than anything else on the market. Particularly if you live in bear country, which I do. That said, the vast majority of black bears will leave people alone if they leave them alone.

Goddamn you, Para. For how long has this thread been going on now? And for what. To convince people that purchase of a Glock iss inevitable. I could have told you this. My first handgun was a Glock 19 pistol. Fine weapon. Gifted it to my brother eventually. Also owned a 37 and a 26 and ended up selling/trading both away down the road.

But that's not what this thread is about. This thread is about the subconscious process of how one suddenly finds themselves purchasing a Glock when they really had no intention of doing so prior to the imposition of such a cruel choice - cruel because if conditions are right then it is not a choice at all. It is an imperative.

So as I wandered into GT Distributors and saw the Gen 2 Glock 19 w/ 3 hi-cap mags and respectable carried-a-lot-shot-a-little wear on the slide with a price tag of $329.95, I didn't think much as I asked to see it; however, somewhere in the back of my mind a war had already been fought and lost between reason and emotion and I was gonna be the last to find out about it.

I found the Gen 2 frame easier to settle into than the Gen 3 with the finger grooves - not that the finger grooves on my Gen 3 ever bothered me, but the absence of grooves made the frame sit just right in the grip. Field stripped it and looked down the barrel. Didn't look shot out to me and no damage of any sort. Wear was reasonable on the barrel and almost none on the barrel hood. LE trade in so price was low. Sales tax was merely an afterthought. Before I knew what was happening, I was filling out the 4473, paying, and then walked out with my new to me Gen 2 G19. This will be a suitable vehicle gun is how my feeble mind is rationalizing this purchase. But deep inside, I know the truth. I say again Damn you, Para, and your keen insight into human nature!

update 10/11/2011:

I went ahead and had GT Distributors put night sights on the slide today. I was in and out in about 10 minutes. Since I bought the Glock there, I wasn't charged an installation fee. Glock factory night sights were $57. With tax they came out to $61. Date codes say AK and AK2; sights are marked MH3, also. I'm very pleased with the set-up and can't wait to shoot it this Friday or maybe Saturday morning.

Shitty iPhone pics.

I just love the wear on the slide.

Ya know I don't care how many times I see one, but there is just something about a used Glock that speaks volumes, just like a CPO SIG. That's a great 19 by the way! Dale

I don't know about Glocks, but If you owned a SIG 226 Tach Ops..40, you won't ask for anything else. Big, strong, powerful, masculine, keeps spittin those rounds off like a string of firecrackers going off.It resounds with I'm a Bad Hammer Jammer. Sorry if I'm partial.

I have an FBI commemorative 226 in .40 and .357 Sig and love to shoot it. And also my Sig P245. When I go to the range or CCW, I take my 26 or 19. When I go to the woods I take my 20SF.

The last few weeks I've had my 239 & my G/29 side by side @ night on the coffee table & I always seem to reach for my 239 it just feels much better in my hand & I don't trust my Glock 100% latley having trouble with the extractor I believe, Think its a ammo problem.

I bought a Glock.

Gen4 G19.

I traded in my all-Exeter SP2022 for it.

And I think I like it.

That is all.

Yes, I did.

Just bought the wife a G26 for off duty,(her service pistol is a G17). Been thinking about a used G17 for the kids to learn on. They have grown up with Sigs, but, Sigs aren't the only gun out there. I feel they should be well rounded, learn various systems, ya never know what you'll have to pick up. When they start buying their own, they can pick their favorite, based on shooting different platforms, instead of someone else's opinion.

I have until this point resisted the urge to compare my P245 to the G30, to see which is really smaller, maybe next month...Christmas is coming!
