I remember reading this post when it was originally posted and laughed my ass off. Until very recent, I honestly have never had the desire to own a Glock. I think my first ever handgun purchase of a S&W Sigma back in the mid-90’s killed it for me. Sigma… yes, I admit I owned one. But… I recently shot a Glock 34, I fell in love and had to have one. So yes I recently added a Glock 34, Gen 3 to the family. So as Para has foretold about 6 years ago, you will at some point in your life… own a Glock.

Ok, it will just not stop. After purchasing my first ever Glock back in January, I went out this weekend and bought a Glock 19 Gen 4. Love it. Damn!

Sounds like you have a minky on your back. Yes, a minky.

I was always a Sig man. I bought a Gen 3 Glock 29. Was enjoying it until the extractor broke. Luckily it was at the range and not while needed as a defensive weapon. I know any tool can break but this definitely killed my faith. I never had any issues with my P220 that I've had since 96.Will be selling the 29 when the 10mm Sig P220s become available.

Took some of the advice I got a couple pages back. I bought and installed the Vickers TD extended slide stop and mag release. Went to YouTube for instruction, which means I'm practically a Glock armorer now.

The appropriate TruGlo TFX sights I ordered via Amazon yesterday arrived today. Gotta love Prime!

I'm about to send off the slide to Fire-4-Effect for their Tier 3 (beveled top corners and 8 forward serrations that extend over the top). Might have him engrave a logo I designed for our unit between the ejection port and the rear sight.

Looking at Robar's NP3+ for the coating once it comes back from machining.

No. I have seen God.

He carries twin, ivory-handled Colt Government 1911s.

Looking forward to pics of the TFX sights.
I used to modify the shit of my firearms, but as I got older, I generally leave them stock.
I got tired of modding them out and then selling them at a loss..YMMV

NP3 is nice I guess, I hear it is slick to the touch.
I've have several guns refinished by CCR.
Brad does great work.

CCR's CPII (nickel boron).

had 7 glocks. Solde them off. Now re-glocking, and up to 7. About as many times as I have dipped into this thread.

Fired my first 10mm today, my buddy's Glock 20 Gen 4. They were some PMC factory loads, and were way more controlable than I expected. I was kinda dissapointed...my vision didn't revert to black and white, the Earth didn't get knocked off it's axis, and I saw a kitten on the way home.

But the Timex watch on my wrist stopped working...coincidence?

If they were the original Norma loadings mbinky, your watch would be up around your arm pit..

That was my experience when I rented a G20 at a local range.
I didn't see what the big 10mm deal was.
I actually preferred my G21...

In the spirit of the metathread, looking at this thread title, it is a premonition of things to come.

I was torn between the Glock 19 and the CZ P07 - I did choose the P07, and it is a great pistol. The G19 was really, really close second, though.

There is a Gen 4 Glock 19 out there with my name on it...I just have to find it and have the 5 spare Benjamins for it.

Been through an number of Glocks over the years. They seem to come and go, now down to only two. A gen II 19 that I've had for 16 years and a gen III 26. Each serve me well.

I feel lost since I haven't posted on this historical thread. But FWIW my G21 AA conversion kit showed up today so now I can send .22lr downrange from all 3 frame sizes.
Yes I will buy(own) a glock, but I'm not telling you how many but the first of two digits is not a 1.
