Not a finer handgun made, IMHO.
OK you Glock-o-phobes, have at it!
Love both the Glock 17 and 19 as they are awesome guns, easy to care for, durable and very accurate. However with today’s threats the FBI agents will be badly outgunned with 9-mm Lugar. I go with the Glock 31 (.357 Sig) or 20 (10-mm Auto) myself.
RE G19:
I agree. It’s my go-to companion, always.
It is the AK47 of the handgun world - it ALWAYS works.
I carry a variety of handguns.S&W model 19,HK USP,a vintage 1911A1,among others.
I keep coming back to the model 19 because of the round it chambers.
No finer handgun molded, perhaps.
I’ve got both a Gen 4 G19 and an older original G19.
The Gen 4 is a little more ergo with the grip, but the older girl is still my baby.
Also have a G17 and a G21 (.45 ACP) as well.
They work, always.
I don’t hate the G19, I have one. But if I were up against jihadists or drugged up crazies I would rather have a 10mm. Maybe the new transgender recruits can’t handle anything with more recoil than the 9mm.
How come they get hi-cap mags? Not everybody can legally own them.
I hear the same said of HiPoints.
USMC MARSOC went to GLOCK 19 about one year ago.
I recently purchased my first Glock, a 43, and will be buying a 19 not too long from now.
For those who question the durability of Glocks, a must see video is Iraqveteran8888’s torture test of the Glock on Youtube. I was a holdout on Glocks.......until I saw this video. Amazing guns.
My top three in no particular order are: Glock, Sig Sauer and FN.
Some of you are just not professional enough to carry a Glock-40. /sarc
That is indeed true.
Cheap, effective firepower for the working man.
To cater to diversity, are the new firearms also going to have sights mounted on the side so they can be fired ‘ghetto’?
The modern ballistics make differences between the 9mm and 10mm moot at best.
What, you don't have a concealed AR-15 holster like I do? :-)
Because they’re the PO-lice.
You are probably the only one in this room professional enough to carry a Glock-40!
(Is that Youtube vid still out there?)
I have a smaller hand so the Gen4 G-19 is perfect for me.
And here’s a sweet little “BUG” to fit in the small of your back... and keep your logistics trail short...
