Traded for a new G19 FS today. It's 99% everything I wanted a Glock to be, with front serrations (no milling cost), extended mag release, slide release (the two "typical" upgrades for me) and steel sights. Still needs a slight undercut, but they did me right on this one and I finally have a 19 again! I'll be GTG when I can afford an APLc. I'll eventually have CCR CPII dark this monkey.

Lou's is a great shop. I have purchased many guns from them. Definitely a "cop shop". Every time I am in there, I see cops from several jurisdictions. And they have the best prices.

I thought maybe Glock was spending too much time looking at all the Sig variations of the same pistol. There were plenty of Walthers with odd color schemes as well. Call me a purist but those color schemes made me cringe. But that said, I've never been a fan of cerakote... | |||

Go ahead punk, make my day |
The gun market is slow, so they have to do more to attract sales from people who might not otherwise buy a Glock. | |||

Yeah, I was in my LGS today and there were some G42s with colored slides- maroon, brown, green, etc. I asked the counter guy if those came from the factory like that. He said all he knows is that they come into the store like that. Looks like crap, really. | |||

Maybe this is strategic. The world has stopped identifying suspects by physical appearance, but maybe we can identify them by the bling on their Glock. | |||

We gonna get some oojima in this house! |
The Gen5 Glocks will move a bit I would think. Think about the time money and trouble people go through just to have the finger grooves removed. I would say their next move may be a Gen4 G30s. Both of these are easy ways to put out a new product. Think about it, Gen4 G30s could be done immediately. All the parts exist. Just like the Gen5/M models. ----------------------------------------------------------- TCB all the time... | |||

No Summer Special G19s, nor Gen 5s today at the dealer. Reading the other string in the forum on the Gen. 5 models, wasn't sure they're for me anyway. Brought Stefanie home: a plain vanilla G19 Gen. 4 with the high contrast sights. Later I'll get some night sights for it. | |||

You're not female. This is who they (be it Glock, or some distributor) is pandering to with this.

I would dare to think that are several male(?) 'tactical commando' types they like this 'battle worn' shit. | |||

Ugh. A friend here sent me the "Cowboys" edition picture once and was talking about buying. I quickly dissuaded him. All my firearms are black like they should be What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone | |||

Remember a number of years ago when shirts with bullet holes were in vogue? Could be a business opportunity here. Buy new Glocks. Drag them behind your car for a mile or two. Run over them with a pickup truck one or two times. Resell to commandos with large markup and spend the profits on beer. Spray paint can be applied before or after the "battle worn" process. Make sure customers know they were NIB before the upgrade. ______________________ An expert is one who knows more and more about less and less until he knows absolutely everything about nothing. --Nicholas Murray Butler | |||

I've gone through a number of guns but have never owned a glock. In fact, I swore I'd never own a glock. Of course I take the attitude that it's great we have such a selection to choose from and respect everyone's choice. That said, at my local range there is this G19 gen4 in gray, all gray and I think it may have won me over. I handled it, dry fired a few times and I really like it. There are a couple other CZs I want first, but then if I can get a gen5 G19 in that color, it's mine. Probably best not to say never when it concerns owning a glock! CZ P10C and HK VP9 SK - Go Bucks! | |||

Had Glocks off and on for years. Like the concept, never really fell in love with the gun. Would decide that I need one, would buy one, shoot it once or twice...yeah, it's okay. Sits in the safe for a couple of years, sell it. Decide that I need a Glock, repeat. Well, purchased a 43 and shot it yesterday. May be the perfect Glock, IMO. Got a feeling that this one will be a keeper. We will see. ____________________________ Everybody knows that the dice are loaded | |||

I saw a lot of M4's in Iraq that had been krylon'd with tan that wore off, that looked about the same. At some places, it seemed the thing to polish all the M9's, not to make them look shiny, but to make them look worn out. No trace of black left on most of the pistol. I saw that a lot. I have a G43 that's been in a pocket holster and dragged around for three years now, and there's the slightest hint of holster wear at the front of the slide...otherwise looks nearly new. It's had a few thousand rounds put through it. I think I'd nearly have to drag it behind a car if I wanted evidence of abuse. I have G19's with thousands of holster presentations that show very little wear. Maybe that's the secret to looking like one just waged world war z...paint. I always thought the idea was to wear the firearm to that point, then send it off for refinish so it's better protected and looks new again. Stupid me. I have a P239 that could do with being sent off for refinish. Maybe it's "battle worn" and worth more now? Doesn't matter...I'll never sell it. | |||

I was the same way until I bought a 2nd gen 19 a few years ago, and I really like the 43 I bought last year also but I went through a several 17's, 21's and a couple 30's over the years before that. 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 | |||
