Sold the Glocks and Sigs, or just the Glocks... Do tell, inquiring minds want to know... The suspense is killing me, I'll numb it down with another Shiner...
And welcome to the forum...

i just recently picked up my second glock. Now i have 2 gen 3 19s. I bought both from the same store about 2 years apart for 399. both were LNIB with zero wear. Im now looking for a 17...
I can shoot groups at 50 yards with my 226 that equal my 25 yard glock groups but size, weight, and sweatproofiness wins out over accuracy. That being said my glock groups at 25 yards are good, my sig is just stupid accurate.First time i put 18 rounds on a pie plate off hand at 50 i just stood there and giggled.

When they expand their new single stack line from the .380 to the .40 and the 9mm I'll buy 2 more.
I've either bought, or been issued 5 glocks now. (2 I bought from a shop, 2 I was issued, and then I bought 1 of the issued guns from the dept.)
I can say that when I'm awake, I am always accompanied by one Glock. At work on my ankle is my G27 and then off work it is on my hip.

That's what always turned me off to them. It wasn't the fact that people loved their Glocks. It was the attitude that Glock was the "only" dependable gun and every thing else was crap. I haven't seen it over here on this forum but on a lot of forums and to a lot of folks I've talked to. I made the first step in actually holding a few last week. I'm one step further from being a "hater".

Work is offering to let us buy back our 10 yr old Sig P226R .40's for $441. My first thought was I can buy a another new Glock for less.

Batex, I am glad you are catching up. I too have resisted and I'm hoping I'll get fixed by page 1000.

So your a non-Glocker also. Page 1000? Humm that's a long time. I'll see if I can make it through this year before getting one.

The guy put the gun up around 22:00 last night on TGT, a Texas firearm trading site. By the time he got up and checked it Friday morning, he had 12 emails inquiring about the pistol. Mine was the first one... He could have gotten more than $425 for this pistol...IMHO
Anyway... Looks great, black parts (even the frame serial number is black), minimal wear on the slide and barrel. From what I can find it was made in November 1986, not sure if that is correct or not. I'm not going to change a thing on this pistol, with the exception of trying to find an old stock guide rod. The current guide rod is solid SS.. I'll do a total strip down and clean it up, but that is it...
I'm very happy with it, and that is really all that matters...
Y'all have a great weekend...

Shot my GLOCK 36 last night doing double taps and such... Ive had and own a number of 45s. Somehow this little blaster is the best little 45 I've ever shot for SD use. Hides like a G26 it is Durable reliable and easy to shoot fast and accurate.. Kinda negates the need for any other small carry gun.

Is that holster wear on the muzzle end of the slide already?
