You will buy a Glock
FishOn, when I'm up in the woods, I carry my 20 in an old Galco shoulder holster. It rides confortably enough to wear it all day, but shoulder straps do conflict at times. Since there are 3 differant width harnesses, you can pick the one that works best for you. I've considered a thigh rig but just don't feel like buying another holster for it.

So it finally happened. After entering many raffles I won a Glock 19 gen 4 in a raffle at my Sportsmen's club last Sunday.

Now the problem.....I'm a huge Sig fan and really like the P320. I'm afraid after shooting the Glock it I might like it and be drawn over to the darkside. Is it true....once you go to the darkside you can never come back?

Nope. I'm probably one of the bigger Glock fans on the forum, and I still like/own/shoot other handguns.

Just bought a friend's G17 Gen 4. In the past, I've owned a G23,G19,G22 and a G30. I'll give the G17 an honest try.


Airborne ! All the Way!!

I was afraid of this. At lunch today I found myself opening the safe just so I could touch her again.

I'm A huge sig fan as well and had a 320 now I only have glocks, I just shoot them better then anything I have ever owned. Wish I would have done it years ago would have saved a bunch of trial and error guns.

I'm thinking this is a zombie thread ...

... It's 8.25 years old and it just won't die!


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 Wink

Pretty much this.

I've owned a Glock 19, both gen 2 and 3 since 92 but I've never had a Gen 4. The darkness kept calling to me, so I gave in and a Gen 4 summer special is supposed to arrive later today.

I picked up my G19 FS this month. I'm very happy with it.

I just put in for one of the "OD" Glock 19s in California. I may as well pickup an oddly colored polymer pistol. I never quite liked the gen3 frontstrap texture, but it is not a deal killer.

Just picked up a Gen4 g 19 with frying pan finish. I thought that went out before the gen 4s.

The first few years of Gen 4 production had the old style finish.

I haven't got to shoot it yet but I'm very surprised at how good the trigger is on the new gen 4 g19 I just got. I have a gen 3 with a 3.5# connector and the new 19 has a shorter pull, a nicer, lighter, more solid break with hardly any mush. Not quite as crisp as a P320 or VP9 but a big improvement over past Glock triggers. My only complaint is the finish, it looks really thin, like I could rub my finger really hard and it would come off.

I have a new g26 with a thin finish that wears easily but the trigger is fantastic. I have an older model gen 4 g19 with the tough frying pan finish but a gritty stiff trigger. Guess Which one I enjoy shooting more.

Do the $.50 trigger job! You'll like it even more!

The new finish shows cosmetic wear more quickly, but the metal itself is still just as protected as before.
