Just curious as to how many Glock owners we have on BOTL. I've got a model 22 (.40 cal) and absolutely love it. I might try some of the Steel match competitions but think the model 19 would be a much better pistol for that. :bangbang:

Model 23 for me. Carry it in a CTAC holster.

I seriously want to get one of these. I have a pre-1918 1911. It is the only pistol that I am familiar with, and I have to say, .45's in particular, are my favorite.

I'm intrigued by the action of the Glocks though, just not

the safety, so to speak.

They are nice pistols, I just like my 1911. But I will own a Glock.

I didn't know you had a baby Glock also. Great carry weapon! I need to get a good quality holster for mine. Just haven't decided on which one yet.

For the 26 I use a Galco UDC or USA, both tuckable. I also have an Uncle Mikes kydex holster which fits both the 26 and the 19.
I have a Milt Sparks VersaMax2 for the 19. It also converts to tuckable with the use of kydex clips.

If you're used to shooting auto's I can surely understand your concern. Many people feel that way about Glocks. What I always find interesting is that while most revolvers never had safeties no one ever really seemed concerned about them.
Bear in mind also that a Glock actually has three safeties: trigger, firing pin and drop. In order for the gun to fire you have to put your finger (or something) inside the guard, depress the trigger safety and then depress the trigger. The triggerguard should always be covered, preferably with a good qualtiy holster, unless it is in storage. Of course, the most important safety is the one between our ears.

I really agree with everthing you have said.

One question, are Glock's single or double action?

David

A few modern pistols, such as the GLOCK and Walther P99 lack an external hammer, and instead have an internal striker that performs the same function.

In the case of the GLOCK, when ready to fire, the internal striker lies in a state where it is partially cocked, with the rest of the energy necessary to fire the gun coming from the shooter's trigger stroke. Strictly speaking, the GLOCK therefore is neither single-action nor double-action but somewhere in between.

Glock calls its action the "Safe Action", which is close to a Double Action.

Very nice guns guys. I'd like to start shooting one day. I've just been to ranges where you have a choice of gun and buy per clip.

I own 2 model 19s....frankly, I prefer my Sig Sauer 45 to the Glocks.:assaultri

And my Bushmaster AR15 .223 is the chit....

I carry the G29. It's the compact 10mm and I really like it. I like it much better now with the night sights, ghost rocket 3.5lb connector and extended slide stop.

I own the Glock 33.

It is a f'ing hand cannon for sure. It's really "cute" until it tries to twist out of your hand after discharging that .357 Sig round.

That is a really hot round.

I am looking to pick up a Glock 23 for my new CCW - need to sell the Kahr K40 first though.

I trust my life to Glocks every day. I carry a Glock 21 primary and a Glock 30 for backup.:gangfire:

I traded my last Glock the other day, for yet another SIG. This time a nearly NIB p225.
The finest Glock I have ever owned ( I have owned prolly about a dozen) was a G-20. The 10mm is / was my favorite round.

I was feeling that the round itself was coming to and end, so I dumped while I could stil get something for the pistol.

The one thing that I notcied on My G-20 was that the recoil was pretty minimal for the hefty 10mm. Much more pleasant to shoot than on the Dellta Elite 10mm I had before. A lot of Bark w/ that baby...

I am a SIG guy thru and thru. First pitol I ever bought, and still love them.
Easiset to stirp and I can group w/ my SIG's w teh best of them.
I have a few Walthers as well, but EVERTHING else ( except my .4magnum anaconda revolver) are SIG.

Even though I like to tease my Glock-shootin' buds about their "combat tupperware", I really don't have much against 'em. They just don't fit my hand...and I've tried 'em all. Besides, it's not like I'm suffering too much deprivation in that department. My handgun stable includes...

Kimber Custom Stainless, full-size .45 ACP (primary CCW companion)
H&K USP 45 Compact
Kahr PM9
Ruger Bisley Vaquero, 5½", .45 Colt (a pair of 'em)
Ruger Vaquero, 4⅝", .45 Colt
Taurus M44, 4", .44 Mag
Walther P22

I "Have" 3 Glocks, but don't own any of them. All 3 are department issued- G21, 22 & 27.

I enjoy shooting the G21 the most (Love the .45), but carry the G27 95% of the time. It's just so much easier to conceal.
