When you get a Glock 19 or 17 let us know. We won't think differently of you.

And not a fuck was given...

I used to give the coin to people that would say stupid shit like that, but then they went up to $3 ... So I just took a picture of my last one, but to even get a picture of it it's got to be some really stupid shit ...

So, let me make that official for ya

Well, I didn't "buy" a Glock so much as built THREE of them...does that satisfy the waiver requirement?

Why would you need roughly 30 sigs in 5 years?

Stick around, the longer you stay in the gun community and the more you shoot, the probability of buying a glock goes waayyy up. And I am not a big glock proponent. I have owned some, and while they are reliable, simple to use, simple to tear down, and simple to work on, they just are not something I enjoy shooting a lot nor do they appeal to me aesthetically.

Like Para said, a G19 is a great place to start.

Maybe, due to Maryland magazine restrictions, a G48 would be more appropriate.

Or a G26. I really like the gen 5....

Looking on internet for a project, I found a new, complete Glock G43x/48 frame for sale. Four days later it was in my hands. I put the slide from my G43 on the frame and took a short trip to the range. Fifty rounds later and no problems encountered, I think I am going to like this pistol.

I guess I will call it a G43 long.

I was down to just one Glock...a Glock 26. Then a 17, a 19, another 17, a 19, and a third 19. The last was just a frame. Looking forward to make this my daughter's gun and do a project with her to build it.

I’ve been a member of this forum for over 5 years but have been absent for the past three years... I return briefly and see that this thread is STILL going!

In that time, I bought a 23 and a 32.... sold them... then bought another 23......sold it, and now have a gen 5 19 and a 20. After owning and shooting almost every popular gun out there, I now understand why Glocks are so great. I am now one of the faithful and will no longer be selling my Glocks.

If you don’t yet have a Glock, you will buy a Glock. If you sell it, you will buy another.....and another.

I thought I was done buying guns ... yeah, I actually said it! It's been over 10 months since I've seen anything that I was even remotely interested in (you can't count the binary triggers I've bought).

I dropped by one of my favorite pawn shops To replace a couple wrenches I've misplaced and they usually have Snap-On or other premimum "odds n' ends" for nickels on the dollar ...

As luck would have it, the used gun display case is on the way to the counter and there was another guy in front of me ... so I looked ... And there it was, a lightly used gen3 26 for $339. No box but 2 mags and a cheap holster ... They had another 26 with the original Tupperware box, no paperwork only 1 mag and had more wear on it than the cheaper one.

I asked if that's the best they'd do on it ... The guy said "I just put it out this morning, so yeah, that's it" then he offered to to throw in the 4 wrenches and 2 sockets ... WHAT COULD I DO?

Ive been wanting a 26 for 10+ years but wasn't willing to pay the $450+ I usually see (40S&W's have been in the $350 range for a couple years) anyway I pulled out the Visa and now I've got A nice little 26 to keep my 19 & 43 company ... Oh and the 23 with the original 40 and a threaded 9mm barrel.

Just got a new G48. I dont consider myself to be a Glock guy, but:
The G19 is the universal gun of our era.
The power and capacity of the G20 is hard to beat.
With the addition of the 48, I believe my Glock collection is complete.
Until they chamber the 48 in .357 Sig anyway!

You don't need a Glock but you know you want one. You can tell me, it's ok.

"Social Media Influencer"?

That's what they call some of these kids today on youtube. Let me tell you- I've been a "Social Media Influencer" since those kids were crushin' on SpongeBob Squarepants.

Happy Anniversary to the Glock thread. Ten years tomorrow.

Can. You. Dig it!!


When I started this thread, there were no Gen4 Glocks and the RTF2 treatment was brand new. And now, well, we're up to Gen5.

It's been a fun thread.

Oh, PS, almost forgot:

First post of the new decade on the thread. The G30 has been dormant for several months, it's time to go to the range....

Heading out in 10 hours to pick up my new G48.

I was ragging on the newly introduced G48 a few months back, right here on good old SF. Couldn't grasp the reason for its existence outside of 10 round Red States, Canada, whatever. And, of course, I saw one for sale in the classifieds here a couple of weeks back. Flash forward to last Saturday and I'm the owner of a brand new G48. I fricken' can't seem to control myself Glockwise!

The bug's got me. To commemorate a recent armorers course I went out and grabbed a G19.5MOS. I'm really liking it so far and it has enough changes that I think it may replace my Gen 4. In time, even I may forget how much I liked finger grooves.

Has it been 10 years? Time has flow by. A Glock of some flavor has been my carry gun for the last 12 years. Nothing fancy, but they work.

I especially like them for duty or carry. Carry a gun across country IWB in a car or train and you'll find it all sweated up and it will likely need to be lubed. I have done this with 22x Sigs but while they stand up to the punishment I'd prefer to do it to my Glocks. Also should I lose one in a shooting I'm out about half the money with a gun I shoot just as well. You can argue other brands (which I like and own) but I'll say they require tools to work on and are more complicated. We can argue soul and I love some other designs but its terribly hard to argue that something else is better for actual work.
