Just figured I’d start posting the new acquisition pictures in batches, since there appears to be no cure for this disease.

Ok. I’ve added Glock number 2 to the heard. A very nice 43X. But that’s it, no more. I can quit any time I want

I picked up a Glock 19X and a 21 gen 4 about 2 weeks ago. They are really nice pistols.

That was march 26 2009.

I now have 9 Glocks and only 2 sigs both 365's
pretty funny when I finally broke down and tried a G19 and the rest is history.

Jumped back into the Glock ranks. G30s and G45 with Ameriglo's. Both seem to be assembled as one would expect ( pure function ) don't look so bad either. Both came with 3 magazines ....... not to shabby.

Takes a good man to admit he was wrong.

Since my last post, in this thread, I have added a G42 and a G19x.

The G42 has effectively replaced J-snubs, much of the time, for deep-concealment needs.

My long hands shoot a G17 noticeably better than a G19, probably because the longer grip results in better stability, but a G19 clears the holster better, when my aging right shoulder is having a bad day. The G19x has the grip length for the stability I prefer, and clears the holster, like a G19. Win-win.

I feel the same about my G45, it's the best yet from Glock, and my Sig P320 X Carry rocks and is perfect...

For those on the fence:

Glock announced Monday that the legendary actor, Air Force vet and martial artist Chuck Norris has signed on as their latest spokesman. Norris, 79, was reportedly picked by the polymer pistol maker whose U.S. operations are based in Georgia as he represents the same characteristics and principals for which the company stands.

Well after years of telling myself I dont like Glocks a new G19 gen 3 followed me home yesterday.

I remember when this thread came out and I thought that I would never need to post here and Ill I needed was my P220St and maybe my 1911.

The prophecy fulfilled

I took it to the range today and it was good. I liked the trigger, the finger groves and the grip texture.

When I got home I washed my hands but they did not feel clean, I’m thinking more about my glock and less about my other guns. I wonder if I need another in 10mm.

Gen5 19 brings us to an even dozen

Bottom row third, fourth from left: what frame and slide?

Thx.

Ok, so those two are mix & match parts in the pic only to sight in a new set of Trijicon HDXR's on the Swenson slide using a g26 stock frame.

I built a P80 frame from Glockstore and had a Swenson slide & barrel for the build. I was shooting the G26 (stock model) in a match that weekend and used that bottom end to regulate the sights (which that combo with the KKM barrel was a laser beam!).
So it shot so well I was considering leaving the combo together. I've since changed everything back to the original configs.
Tell you what, that P80 build was a lot of fun and shoots great!

I originally purchased this Gen 5 Glock 17 as a graduation gift; however that didn’t happen.

I made the mistake of shooting it. Very nice trigger. Gen 5 could be the Glock that converts the masses.

I could really use a Gen 5 model 21 and 20.

No.... I don't think I will.

Good call, I bought and then another and another until I had a small collection; now I don't shoot my more expensive guns hardly at all. I thought had to be better ...

... until I shot a friends a Glock

All that wasted money on SiG's, HK's and Kimbers!
(I'd change my name, but after 22 years it's too much trouble)

It's only a matter of time. The prophecy shall be fulfilled. Heathens and blasphemers are no exception.

G22 in 1996.......later on 27, 42, 43, 30S.....
Light weight and just work. A bonus is the entry fee.
Still consider myself a Sig guy.
But carry Glocks.
Big deal. also like S&W wheel guns. VP9 etc..
Sue me...
