I just traded my 92G Centurion for a G23 with 6 mags, bladetech holster. Never much liked that particular Beretta and I do love my 19. Does this count?

My lust for a G19 had died down, but the G30s has perked things back up. My next buy was going to be a Springfield LW Operator (4.25) and it was going to be my first .45 and first 1911, buuuuut the G30s has taken it's spot and one i will have to get my hands on to check out.

I had a Nano for concealed carry. I figured I'd purchase a G17 Gen4...for SHTF....and I did.
12/21/12 rolled by without incident ...but I was pretty impressed by the fit, finish, simplicity, of the Glock. I've owned a number of firearms, from Springfield to HK...and I was really expecting the G17 to be reliable tupperware. Well...pleasantly surprised.

I liked it so much..that in my sleep - my Nano and G17 - magically morphed together to turn into a G26. The real deal baby glock.

I can't say enough about the G26 Gen4...the grip is thick enough to feel like you have a gun in your hand...yet short enough to disappear easily AIWB. The sight radius is perfect for it's intended purpose...and the trigger has a clean break, while consistent.

Complete dark side...I have gone.

I rented a G30sf today.
I like it and will either buy a 30sf or a 30s.
LGS has a barely used 30sf for $489, thinking about it as well.
At the range today I shot my G21, G19, P226 (still having light strikes in DA) and EMP.
Shot the G21 the best followed by my G19 and the rental G30.
Also rented a G36 but found it too thin and the mag pinched my little finger.

I'm considering selling my EMP and carrying a Glock full time...
Never thought I'd sell the EMP, but now it is "I'll never sell my G21".

Picked this one up today. Looks great for its age.

So, went back to the LGS to buy the used G30sf today.
But, come to find out, it wasn't an SF, it was a standard G30.
I like the SF better since the lower back strap digs into my palm on the standard G30.
They had a new G30SF with Meprolights on it for $685 +tax.
I passed on that.

There was a local gun show this weekend so I toughed it out and went.
Huge crowds, overpriced guns and ammo aplenty.
This one guy had a well worn West German P226 with a price tag of $1500.
I shit you not..
Hell, if I can get that much for my WG P226, I'd sell it..

Cruised the show, found 2 G30SFs.
One for $545, the other for $579..
Gee, what do I do?

I bought the one for $545..





Already ordered steel stock sights, a 9 rd mag, and a couple Pearce finger extensions..
I need to find a holster because I am gonna carry it..

Perfect match for my G21..



Though about waiting for the G30S to come out.
But I think they will be hard to find, and probably $700 + on the price.

I used to be all Sig and anti-Glock.
Now I own 1 Sig and 4 Glocks..
How did this happen...?

So, after much hand-wringing, I said "fuck it" and traded my custom carry 229 away. This


Turned into this:


Guy damn near peeled out of the parking lot. I think we both left feeling like we screwed the other person. Best kind of deal there is!

With it's brother:


Two LNIB handguns in three weeks. Unheard of for me. If my KD marked P220 survives this and doesn't somehow turn into a Gen 4 G19 in the next 30 days, I'll be stunned. It was the one handgun I swore I'd never get rid of and I'm starting to think it can maybe walk in favor of another Glock, lol.

I think I'm done with SIGs.

Interesting deal. As much as I like Glocks and particularly the RTF2s, that's one transaction that gives me pause. But I commend you and as always it's whatever works best for you. The Dark Side is strong with this one.

I also will admit that aside from my P220s it's been a while since I've shot any of my SIGs, and the last three guns I've picked up all spawned from the master sith known as G17. Hmmm....decisions, decisions...

If I'm being honest, on it's own, it's not the best deal I've ever worked and I could have done better, but I don't feel like I did badly, and for one reason: the Glock is (hopefully) the end of a long line of trades, in all of them except this last one, I also took in the equivalent in cash on top. I have, quite literally, no money tied up in this deal. I traded a gun I can't shoot worth poop for one I hopefully can.

I love my 9mm and larger Sigs considerably more than my G19, and my P232 and my 84F and every revolver even more than the big Sigs.

Strangely, I carry the G19, and shoot it more than all the rest combined. How does that make sense?

You'll build a special compartment for it in your bomb shelter. You'll give it a name - Francine or some stupid-ass thing like that.
But you'll never admit it. You'll live a closeted life and die a bitter old man.

It doesn't have to be like that, y'know. Just own up and be free.

I've had pretty much every Glock out there. I think my fav is the G32

Nice Glock, but how could you part with those tasty lightening grooves???!!

You mean the lint catchers? I mean, dust ports?

I really like the looks of them, and they lighten up the pistol quite noticeably. It balances about like a P228 after that reduction. However, it did increase the felt recoil, and I've started developing some nerve/pain issues in my right elbow this past year and it was becoming uncomfortable to shoot. A 100 round range session would leave my elbow quite battered and my right arm useless. My range sessions with 9mm Glocks haven't. Admittedly, I traded the 229 for another .40, but I plan to explore my options for turning it into a 9mm.

I have a barsto 40sw to 9mm conversion barrel in my P229 and it works perfect.

Keep the sig and buy a Glock too!

For me, there was never a doubt.... My first handgun was a Glock G17....

Here's my latest Glock, a gen4 G21.





Next, a gen4 G20!

Mine too. Have yet to feed anything through it, though. Running low on .45ACP, and no one--including the LGS I work at--seems to have any.

Shot a G23 at the range last weekend, a buddy brought it.

Nope, still don't like them.
