The 18 is indeed pretty cool. Don't have a G18 or G18C waiting for me, but we had a new production Gen3 G19C come in a couple of days ago and surprisingly I found myself putting my name on it. Despite the awful 10rd mags, it's one last Austrian Glock before prices go way up... Frown

CUT IT OUT. monoblock, go piss and moan somewhere else, and I don't want to hear one single word of excuse or explanation from you. You keep that fucking shit out of apolitical threads. PERIOD

I’m a huge fan of the little gun. I give up so very little over a full size with it.


jljones - I’m curious to know if you typically run OEM mags or aftermarket mags (Shield, PSA, etc) in your 43x.

Thx!

My latest creation. It was a gen 2 trade in pistol and the bottom of the frame had some damage,a bunch of chips/chunks missing. I sold the factory upper a while back, not really sure why, but then I cut the bottom of the frame to accept Glock 19 mags,gave it a quick texture and bought a P80 builder slide and this thing runs like a top. I call it my Franken-Glock.


Some people have a gift of being able to stipple/put a design on the grip but not me. It functions perfectly and that is all I really care about.

It's just hard to argue the efficacy of the Gen 5 Glock 19. I have a Ruger RXM and it's great. But the Gen 5 Glock 19 does everything it is supposed to do, and does it well. And they aren't that expensive if you shop around even a little.

Glock is better overall. Like the ruger but it’s a copy

With Glock discontinuing the G29 and it still being something I can buy in CA, I’m strongly considering buying one… I still have my “Freedom Week” Glock 20 mags. Should I do it?

If you walked into a gun store and its in the store, you might as well.

It happened that way with a Matte Stainless CZ75b, it was recently discontinued and I was on a few "be notified when in stock" emails, but I walked into the gunshop at the gun range that I visit, theres one in the display case at MSRP, I bought it, and I'm glad I bought it. Gunbroker has them almost twice that now.

I hate to admit this, but a Glock rep stopped by work today to see if we needed any parts (I just asked for RSAs). But he let me try out a 45 COA and 43X COA.

As much as I hate red dots, the COA guns were pretty impressive. I am going to ask the chief if I can order a couple for testing. We're getting ready to hire some people and instead of ordering more MOS-5 guns and RMRs, it will actually be cheaper to order a COA gun.



Not minority enough!

You'll build a special compartment for it in your bomb shelter. You'll give it a name - Francine or some stupid-ass thing like that.
But you'll never admit it. You'll live a closeted life and die a bitter old man.

It doesn't have to be like that, y'know. Just own up and be free.


I've posted in this thread, I dont know how many times...
Yeah, I have more than a few Glocks.
They dont have names outside of "G-21", "G-17", "G-19"... The closest I get to fondling them is a decent dry-fire session. And I dont have a bomb shelter.

But to illustrate how bad this damn thread is after just over 16 years:
I'm past buying a Glock for myself, this thread has gotten to my Wife (G-43X) and just as of a few hours ago-

My oldest son.
In a few day's he's going to be the owner of a Glock G-47.
It's a Birthday/Graduation/Accepted to College gift.


Damn this thread is expensive! Cool

Good choice. Is he on the job, too? (IL mag restrictions)

No, Thankfully!
He graduates high school in a few weeks, got accepted to the college he wanted. I know about our draconian mag restrictions. Mad When he's shooting with me, I don't think anyone is gonna say anything if he's using one of my 17 round mags.

I sure-as-hell wouldn't say anything!

There was a brief window as the law was being enacted during which I ordered a 47MOS, but I let a couple days go by before I picked it up, another judge kicked in another opinion, and my mags are in limbo. I bought a 10-round but haven't taken it to the range yet.

Yes, sometime soon. I've got a GSSF coupon and will buy a 48 with it. Debating which of 3 stores to go to for it. Will check all 3 to confirm availability and price, which could affect the choice. So yes, not if, just when and where.
