After you have owned a Glock, hopefully you will find a PPQ and be happier! Smile

Even though I traded the G23, the simplicity and grip of the glock is missed.


That didn't take very long. Just bought a 2009 Gen 3 Glock 19 with factory night sights... But I'm in California so I have the ten day waiting period... I don't know how to express the jealousy I have towards those in free states that walk in, buy a gun, and walk out with the gun in 15 minutes.



Move to the free states while there is still time!!

Just spent 1 1/2 weeks in SoCal, longest time I've spent back there since moving away. OMG I'm so glad I don't live there any more.

Move away, hurry!

Don't bother. He doesn't know what he wants. Here's his other post in this thread from a while three and a half months ago:

Three months ago I hadn't handled a PPQ.
So you have never changed your mind about anything or found something you like better?
I find that hard to believe. Wink

Of course I have, but I'm not nearly as fickle as you appear to be.

Let us know in the Fall what you think is the greatest. No doubt it will make you even happier.

Meh you never know!
I have been a 1911 fan for 30 + years.
This is the FIRST polymer pistol that has a trigger I MAY like as well or better.
When I typed those words about a G19 I knew it wasn't perfect for ME but it was/is IMO, a great pistol with a NEAR perfect size for all around use. The PPQ (for me) fixed everything I would have wanted in the Glock.
I apologize for posting twice in this thread with a different point of view.
I guess we should all stop looking at any new pistols now as we should already know what we want and should grow no further..... Roll Eyes

Well...I've been there and done that. I've read about all sorts of pistols and handled all sorts of pistols, shot all sorts of pistols, owned them, fondled them, and gave much thought to the matter of which of them I should employ.

For the rest of my life (another 20 or 25 years if I'm fortunate), the Glock will be my primary defensive handgun. So now I can concentrate on shooting well, which is the point, yes?

But, of course, people need to search until they find the best fit, and they will if they're lucky.

I have succumbed. Just brought home a G26 Gen4. I have tried and tried to carry my much-loved P239 .40, but with my body shape, bad back, etc, it is just a little too heavy. So, at 9 oz. lighter, it's G26's turn. I try to love them all equally..

Not only that but now I feel free to just enjoy and appreciate other pistols just for the fun of it. Just enjoy them for being cool or interesting instead of constantly weighing in my mind which is "better".

In the last few years I've cycled through around 50 or so handguns. Trying to find the "perfect" one.. I sometimes think Im the most fickle of gun owners. I will say it was fun to learn about a lot of different guns. Sometimes I think I enjoyed the hunt more than the ownership..

That said I'm down to owning just a few.
This morning I picked up my updated CCW and at the top of the list is my good old Gen II G19 It's the one gun I kept going back to.
I shoot it better than any other gun I've owned. That is Def. the point..

I will say it's nice to be settled on a few good pistols..

Ya I miss owning a 228 and P-35 perhaps again someday... If I own any other than the few I have now...it will be for pure enjoyment of owning and shooting them.

The Gun I've chosen, is an old work-horse.. I know it well & fully trust it and myself to use it should the need arise. It's a simple gun to manage and operate. Gen II Glock 19


^ Those are both really good points and have been my experiences as well.

I'd like to a P228 again for range shooting.
Someday I will.

I'm still in the lookout for a Gen 2 G19 as pictured above.
I really like my Gen 3 G19, just not very fond of those finger grooves..

ok, got me again!
Finally got a chance to post a pick of my new G22 Gen4.

Here she is, unmolested...
Put a few hundred rounds through it, and I gotta say that I do see a difference with the dual recoil spring system. Definitely less "sharp".

Since that pic, I've put on a Dawson .105 x.170 front fiber optic, adjustable Glock rear, Ghost Rocket connector and springs. The pistol is really a great shooter.

After much contemplation, I now believe that Para actually titled this magnificent thread incorrectly.... Instead of "You will buy "a" Glock", I believe now that it should have been titled "You will buy "many" Glocks"....

I sold a gen4 G19 and ended up with a leftover (15) round magazine, so I bought a gen3 G19 from 2004 with a very low round count.



Note the extractor pics.... For an (8) year old pistol, even with a low round count, that extractor shows almost no wear. My newer Glock pistols all showed nearly immediate wear to the extractor.
