You will eventually own a Glock
« on: August 30, 2009, 11:24:46 PM »
No matter what most of you say at some point in your shooting career you will buy a Glock. You will secretly love this gun and deny it to all your friends. Glocks may not be the prettiest guns like a 1911, Sig Sauer or even a HK but they are a work horse that no matter what you do to it, it will keep on shooting. Whether its a full size Glock 17 or a Mid Size Glock 32 or a sub compact Glock 29 in 10mm you will buy it and love it. ;D

My buddy badmouthed Glocks for twenty years.  But last year, he finally saw the light.  I don't even consider them ugly. 
Very few guns are actually "illegal guns."  A gun misappropriated by a criminal is no more of an "illegal gun" than a stolen car is an "illegal car."

Nothing against Glocks here.. . in fact, determined this weekend that I'm headed towards their compact 9mm or compact .40 for concealed carry.  Well.. during the summer anyway.

I've had one on and off for 15 years and have never had a problem admitting it. I think a lot of gunners don't like them or admitting to like them cuz of the quickness of the anti gun campaigns to name them specifically. You never hear the Brady's say we need to ban a Kahr.
Honey I swear I've had that gun for years!

I wasn't impressed with the few Glocks I had shot: they were mostly 9mm range rentals.

I had always wanted a 10mm handgun. I decided that the Glock 20 was the best available, ordered it without ever having fired one, and I loved it right away. It fits my hands perfectly, shoots hard & straight, and I love the trigger. I took it to advanced combat pistol training, and shot 1200+ rounds in 3 days without a single failure. I learned to trust it.

I carried it for a while in a DeSantis JIT Slide under a concealing garment, then I bought a Safepacker for it.

I liked it so much I bought a Glock 29, and another Safepacker to carry it:


I wear that smaller Safepacker every day. I'm a big guy (6'2", 270 lb) so it looks small on my right hip. Nobody ever looks at it twice.
It holds the G29 and a spare magazine, so I have 21 rounds of DoubleTap full-power 10mm hollow points available.
The longer 15-round G20 magazines also work in the smaller gun, so I keep two of them in the car; sometimes I drop one or both in my off-side pocket just in case...

Ok, I'm finally comfortable saying I own a Glock.  :D 

Glock 32 (.357).  My "winter" carry gun.  It's too bulky and too heavy to carry during the summer months where it would be printed in a heart beat.... or I'd have to dress looking like a lumberjack to conceal it.
