Just go ahead and buy your first Glock and all will be forgiven...

Not really into 'baby' Glocks..
I'd go for a G19 or G30S for your first...

I was trying to hold out for the G30S, but seems to be about impossiable to get one at a decent price.

So G19 Gen4 it is, already order Trijicon HD sights for it, before i even have the G19 in hand.

I also wanted to get the G19 in OD, or even FDE, but again either tough to fine priced well, or find at all.

Yeah, the usual Internet B.S. I own 1911's, Sig DA/SA's and two Glocks. They are all reliable and accurate. Got my first and only Glock (Gen4 G34) in 2011. I looked in my safe three months ago and discovered a Gen4 G19 sitting next to it. Damned if I know how it go there.

The G19 is a fine carry gun. Just a little larger, but lighter, than a P239. I carry both, as well as a P229. Sixteen rounds, easy to shoot, reliable and a full size grip. If grip angle is a problem, get a GripForce Adapter and it points like a 1911. I use Warren Tacticals on my Glocks and find them to be the best sights (for me) that I have ever used. I run both guns stock, except for the sights.

Not saying that I'll buy another one, but it's been so long since I sold the Glock I had that I hated so much, I would like to find one to shoot that has the grip adapter on it to see if I might like them any better now. I don't really think I will, but am willing to give them another chance. One thing I liked about the other Glockenspiel I had was how quick I was able to sell it.

You sound...confused.

Just giving them another chance, they've come out with different generations so maybe I won't hate them as much if I try them again. Not confused, trying to be open minded.

Glocks are the only pistols I know of that elicit such remarks.

Is that Gaston?

Yes, he morphs into the Emperor of the Dark Side at midnight daily. Bill

I was in one my favorite GS yesterday when along came a used but pristine condition Glock 34,gen 3. Store owner offered it to me for $450, $50 more than he paid for it. Damn, had to have it at that price!

Gaston is definitely a Sith Lord.

Own several guns but nothing feels like or shoots like a glock 23. You can own Sigs, Smiths, HK's, and many others. But a Glock works and they are the best out of box gun made. If the shit every hits the fan it will be what I carry. I love my smith wheel and autos but they are not my favorites. Will be buying a New Glock 19 Gen4 this month and hell I am getting 3 3rd mags just for the hell of it.

Owned a HK P13, several PSP and many HK's and Sig. I just can shoot them as good as a glock 40 cal. Thank Para for giving us this forum. It rocks.

All I could think was " you will buy a glock". Well $325 + tax including three extra mags later I have been corrupted. Plan on wringing it out this weekend.

$325 for a 23c and 5 mags? Geesh!

If either is a single stack 9mm or 380 in a sub compact size (smaller would be better), I'm in...

And I have again. Went back and grabbed another G23. I just keep going down the Glock path.

By Grabthar's hammer, I will have a Glock 26 soon. I've put plans and schemes into motion that will allow it.

Well, the first or second day after Thanksgiving, I bought a new G19, 4th Generation, with Trijicon night sights, at the LE-only price, from a local police supply place. The Trijicons were installed at the distributor; I doubt Trijicons are a factory option.

I had intended to buy a G26, but took the opportunity to handle a 4th-Generation G19, and liked its feel in my hands, so the G26 will wait a bit, or perhaps the G19 will be small enough to be a second gun.

During a short range session, I did not shoot it as well as my G17. Probably, the factory-new trigger, with internals not yet worn smooth, plus the slightly shorter grip came into play, as a G17-length grip anchors into the heel of my long-ish hand a bit better. Plus, I am not a "natural" shooter; if a new gun changes just one variable, I will need some time to adjust.

The .40 P229R DAK is still in my duty holster. 9mm was not added to the list of approved duty cartridges for uniformed patrol.

I thought I had all I needed, I have one of every 9mm version. But then I recently tried a .357 P229... now the itch is on for a G32
