It's a birthday gift, so I don't get to load, carry, or shoot it until the end of March. Maybe some of us can meet up for a range trip on Saturday the 29th?

Haven't fired one but got to handle one last month at Shooters Choice.. That "oh hey, have you seen the new mini Glock" up-sell to the Walther fan. :) Felt very nice, smooth and had a great feeling trigger. Still.. We have the LCP with 7+1 and 2 Walther PPSs 6-8+1 to fill this void so no need.

And Happy Birthday :)

Very nice! Still not for me, but I did like the way it felt when I got to see one a few months ago. 

Happy early birthday!  :)

380 ammo has recently gone up in price. I have been looking for a while but there are not any deals anywhere.
Hop you have lots of ammo for your new 380.

Where is the range trip on the 29th OGG? I might be up for it if it's not too cold out.

Depending on the weather, we might just head up to Targetmaster... it's a decent place to test out a new pistol.

They have bulk .380 ammo there.

Out of curiosity, why .380 on a Glock?

Nice gun, nonetheless!!!

I was considering a smaller pistol, but I wanted a Glock for reliability and familiarity. If their new product had been a single-stack 10mm Auto (like the .45 ACP G36), I would have bought that instead.

I really like this gun, though: it weighs less than a pound fully loaded. My current rig (Glock 29 and a spare mag of 10mm) weight about three pounds.

Nice....very light indeed. Take a look at the double tap loads for .380.
