Shhh...don't tell Chris Z
« on: December 13, 2013, 09:33:08 AM »
I bought a Glock. :o

I've hated all things Glock for several years, they never felt right ergonomically, they are ugly, and I was never big on plastic anyway. That being said, I put my hands on a NIB G3 19C the other day. Dang. Felt good, fit the hand, was well balanced, and accurate.

I'm still not sold on them, but I am satisfied with this one so far.



I guess the times, they are a changing ;DMaybe...

I prefer my pistols made of steel, in a former communist country.

Steel pistol is best pistol.

>AK-47s

And they just Keep On Keepin' On Doin' What They Are Supposed to Do:   Function, Function, Function.

I carry a gun because a cop is too heavy.  I carry a lot of ammo because I cant run very fast.

Your Glock was "Made in the USA"....

The "C" part make those guns a little noisy...... But a couple good things with it....

1) Glock is discontinuing "C" models, so you have something that down the road will increase in value.

2) you can always get a non "C" barrel and drop it in your gun to have a standard 19. Like having two guns in one.

Thanks Chris, I knew they were discontinuing the C models, I also have a line on a "parts build" 19 for a good price, all aftermarket parts so I can tinker.

Congrats, I guess I'm in the minority because I like Glocks and actually think they are decent looking guns.
