Picked up my Gen4 Glock 26 to go along with the Gen 4 19 I got last year. I hav a feeling a 17 is going to be in my near future.

That is actually a pretty interesting list, anyone know if there is one of those for USPSA Production Nationals?

I have been wanting to give my G19 a sibling for a while now in the form of a G34 but just haven't gotten around to it. I went to my LGS a few weeks ago and saw a Gen4 G34 in the case but let it be, I couldnt decide if I should consider the 3 or the 4. I happened to be in there again late last week and there she was still sitting in the case. Para, I thought of your other thread and knew I had to take her home. After a little friendly haggling with my gun store pals, I did just that.

I have an M&P 9 Pro and as super duper ergonomic as it's supposed to be, when I pick up the Glock it just fits my hand like a glove. I get a nice high and firm grip right away, the sights line right up, the barrel sits low on the frame and it points very naturally for me. Now to find some preban G17 mags... Smile

Here she is, with the latest copy of Recoil magazine:

I love that pistol!!

As the title says ' you will buy a Glock'. Well I did. And I can't believe I waited this long. Only had a little time today, but went to the range and shot a box of 50 through it. It is awesome. I traded for this gun, and it had a little work already done on it. 3.5 connector, extended slide lock, Aerotek guide rod, and a T R Graham trigger job. It's a G36. I am already thinking about a G20 next. This may be worse than the Sig addiction.

If you like 10mm, I'd recommend the G20. I carry a few different pistols, but the G20 is my house and woods pistol.

Glock 22 in .40, gen 4. That's what I will soon purchase. I've tried everything I can think of: Surfing pages of pics of H & K P30L's... The Springfield XP or whatever it's called...ANYTHING... anything but the dreaded Glop.

Now I'm pricing them, looking for the best deal.

Okay, I give up. Sadly, pathetically, I really want a model 22, gen 4.

Must have da Glop. Must have da Glop.

In Para's favor, I've been carrying my Gen 4 19 a week that I said I would never own againm, and I put some Trijicon GL01's on them today and it's at my side again. Such a lovely workhorse.

Waldens of Augusta installed the sights, and didn't use the Glock sight pusher they had, they beat them on with a mallet. They also clamped it in a Meprolight sight pusher and damaged the finish, and beat the Trijicon logo off the right side of the rear sight. Fortunately for them, this is a workhorse beater gun and it didn't bother me a bit, since it's already got some honest holster wear after a week, and it's going to get worse. My sights were not filed or stoned down at all, just oiled and beat into place (lol - so professional), so I am sure they are NOT going to move at least.

I'm planning to replace the chintzy slide stop with an extended one, and replacing the stock sights with a set of "flash sights"-- so called-- fast acquisition sights -- like these from AO:www.gunaccessories.com/AOSights/247ProExpress.asp

I have been reading some accomplished shooters who praise the sights, especially for close quarters self defense situations. I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who has used, or is using them. How do you like them? I'd be especially interested to hear from anyone who is using them on a Glock.

Eek I'm glad it doesn't bug you and I hear what your saying about a workhorse gun but, given how easy it is to do it right, it's a shame that had to happen to you. Enjoy that G19 though, I love mine.

I think that I'm going to get one of the new, FDE Glocks in the near future.

I don't know if I want another 22 or maybe a 21SF.

To many choices, to many choices.

Foolishly traded off my Glock 17 RTF. I want one again but will end up buying a G31 RTF and then getting a G17 upper for it. I love the RTF. All my Glocks now are RTF.

Huh. In addition to Glocks, S&W is also quite dominant in that list. I was pleasantly surprised, as I am quite fond of many S&W products. However, I also see that S&W is a "Premier Sponsor" for IDPA. Is the high number of S&W due to the sponsorship, or legit popularity in the world of competitive shooting?

Well, now you've jinxed yourself.

Really though, you ought to know how to clear a jamb with your weapon of choice, because jams happen. Regardless of what it says on the side of the pistol.

Frankly, technique makes more of a difference than brand name, or even cleaning regimen. Your pistol may never jam, and will you take the credit, or will you credit Sig. When it does jam, will you take responsibility, or will you blame Sig, the ammo, the lube, the earth wind and fire?


Arc.

Yeah... so about that resisting stuff. (sigh)

Little brother, meet big brother!



Just fired it this past weekend. Works flawlessly, as to be expected, although I don't care for the NY trigger. I'm going to order a Ghost 3.5 connector and put the factory spring in and that should lighten the pull considerably.

I'll probably pick up one of the GLock lights for the rail next weekend. Very satisfied with this purchase.
