Yeah, I like revolvers, because I know they're going to fire.
In a semi-auto, the closest I can come to that certainty is a Glock, and that's why I carry one.

I have a 19 that I have had for about 10 years. Just picked up a new 21sf over summer that I absolutely love. I'm sure I will get more in the future too

My son, up in Philly, just got his carry permit. He's fought with every weapon from the Beretta M9, to Ma Deuce, to the treads of the Abrams tank he drove to Baghdad in 2003.
In a few tight spots when their ammo ran low, his Cav troop even had to "borrow" Kalashnikovs from fresh, warm Fedayeen corpses.

Guess what he's about to buy? That's right, a Glock...
a 10mm Glock, because he knows better than most how disappointing a 9mm round can be in a real fight.

Ask him what TYPE of 9mm round he carried.

Congrats to your son for finally getting the LTCF.

FMJ, of course. I may have sent him all sorts of military equipment -- including 30-round magazines for his M9 that kept us from referring to him in the past tense -- but I wasn't going to violate the Geneva Convention (not to mention Post Office rules) by sending him a box of hollow-points.

Yes, I did consider it.

I added Truglo sites to mine.  They have the plastic and gas in order to glow day and night.  $80 bucks at Lawmens and if you talk nice, Jay might even put them on for you.    Jokes aside, best sight I have ever used on a handgun.  Put it on my XD also.  Check them out.

That IMHO is the biggest problem!  I'm sorry, but my OPINION - our men and women are putting their lives on the line for us and our freedoms, they should be shooting the nastiest stuff available to them NOT FMJ.

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

I happen to think they are great looking guns.  I like the look of them over any other handgun; save the 1911.  Can't beat the G-21, G-23, G-26 and G-27.

I was a S&W guy for 15+years.  One rainy day a few months ago I wanted to spend money so I bought a Glock 19.  Love it!
