Looks like I might be buying another 19. I took my wife and her sister shooting last week and they both liked my 19 better than the Sig P320 and CZ P-09. I was surprised that they both liked the 19 best. My sister-in-law is going to buy one for herself and my wife has claimed mine as her own. That's ok though, gives me an excuse to get another G19. | |||

I've got pretty big mitts too, and the Gen4 works perfectly. Like 1lowlife said, the Gen4 with nothing on it is an SF frame. I personally have found that on ALL of my Gen 4's, I prefer the medium beavertail added on. ________________________ | |||

Well...yes, and no. The Glock factoryu .40 barrel is still the most unsupported. I've not had one blow out, but then I don't push pressures in .40. I've had blow-outs in S&W and Kahr, however (also in .40). If you want a fully supported chamber in a Glock, get the .357 Sig.
Depends on the lead hardness and bullet charge. Some barrels will lead considerably, others not so much. Moderate hardness lead is best; a wive's tal;e is that the harder, the better, but it doesn't work that way. Better to go gas check, if that's the intent. A glock barrel certainly can lead up. I don't shoot straight lead in mine; I go with coated bullets, and there's almost no barrel deposit of any kind. They stay very clean. | |||

I've had many Glocks in the past. I never seemed to warm up to them until recently. I resisted with every ounce of energy I could muster... Until I found another RTF 2 in mint condition. It's a 22, however I've started the process of converting it over to 9mm starting with the AlphaWolf threaded 40-9 barrel, along with finding the appropriate extractor and spring. The ejector will most likely remain for now. Shortly thereafter, a used, but unfired Gen 3 19 moved in. A factory threaded barrel is making its way.

..today it hit me again (Glock fever) while in an LGS that was closing the doors forever  . I brought home a G42, and a couple of extra mags with the pinky extension. Same shop I got my G30 and G21 from. | |||

Over the holidays I got a Glock 43 and 42. Then in January I got a Glock 19, and this weekend I got a Glock 26. In the process I got rid of five other pistols. When it comes down to it, for carry or HD, something simple, reliable, well supported in the aftermarket (esp. holsters since I'm a lefty), and "generic" is best. And Glocks are pretty generic - can get one just like it at any gunshop, mags are cheap and easy to find. I never liked the Gen3 grip, but I'm warming up to the Gen4 grip and the reversible mag catch is something I'm really liking now. | |||

Thought that's what I said: "Use a hard cast lead bullet and stay with mid-range loads (or under)". As for other barrels, all I have to reference is my own Gen4 Glocks, which don't lead. I'll get a little bit of leading on most of my conventionally rifled guns, but not the Glocks. If you want to get specific, my lead bullets are Brinell Hardness: 21. Been buying them from the same place for over 20 years. http://www.kingshooters.com/ca....php?category=111373 The topic at hand is pretty simple. Load up some mid-range reloads with hard cast bullets, shoot them and see what happens in your own gun. Forget my opinion and everybody elses. See for yourself. Simple... ______________________ An expert is one who knows more and more about less and less until he knows absolutely everything about nothing. --Nicholas Murray Butler | |||

Or for a happy medium, just buy plated bullets and don't worry about lead at all. If you really want something you'll find a way ... ... if you don't you'll find an excuse. I'm really not a "kid" anymore ... but I haven't grown up yet either  | |||

Unhappy medium. Too expensive. I'm cheap...  Actually, when I shoot the gun I'm carrying, I use plated. Besides any leading issues, they are a lot cleaner for the rest of the gun. With guns I shoot a lot (lead bullets), I'll detail strip when necessary. Not a big deal. Gives me a chance to inspect and lube the guts. ______________________ An expert is one who knows more and more about less and less until he knows absolutely everything about nothing. --Nicholas Murray Butler | |||

Ah ... yeah, here it comes ... If you were really cheap, you'd reload  If you really want something you'll find a way ... ... if you don't you'll find an excuse. I'm really not a "kid" anymore ... but I haven't grown up yet either | |||

43 has landed with some Trijicon sights. 225 rounds later, color me impressed Isaiah 54:17 - No weapon formed against us shall prosper.... What do I want? A time machine. When do I want it? Irrelevant. | |||

It's a goodie, for certain. Haven't shot mine in a while but it does exactly what's needed and asked of it. I'd probably carry it all of the time if I weren't so headstrong about the compact Glocks. | |||

You dig |
Yep, they keep reproducing. I'm up to five now, 42, 43, 19 with NS, 17 with FO sights and a second 19 with a threaded barrel and suppressor height sights. | |||

Took a friend to the range tonight to let him try my G21 as he's getting ready to qualify for a CCW and needs a 45. He brought his P89. Needless to say, especially after shooting my 34, he's considering the glock big time. ________________________ | |||

Just bought my 6th Glock. A G30 to go with my G17, G19, G21SF, G26 and G36. I was looking at an ad for some LEO trade in's and Mrs. Navyshooter looks at me and tells me i should buy one so i did  "Blessed is he who when facing his own demise, thinks only of his front sight.” Malo periculosam, libertatem quam quietam servitutem Montani Semper Liberi | |||
