I’ll take the pink, ‘Hello Kitty’ version, Please!

I LOVE my small (yet powerful) Browning. It fits my hand like a glove. A gift from Beau; he’s a keeper!

The Glock is a very good pistol but I do like a safety.

I was rooting for Baretta tho.Have a relative works

in the plant here.She loves the job.

Really nice looking factory and very good weapons.

Would love to have one of those shotguns to go with the

PX4 that I keep by the bed at nite.

Thanks!

One video that makes me a Glock guy is this one.

1200 rounds on auto before Glock melts down

I wish you were my Dad. My Dad gave me his (awesome) knife collection...but I don’t hate anyone near enough to get up close, personal and stabby, LOL!

In other words, I pass the Islamofreak Test! :)

“MARSOC has purchased and fielded 1,654 Glock 19s because Raiders needed a reliable secondary weapon...”

When were Marine Raider battalions reactivated?

Well when I needed too I normally carried two along with a rifle.

50 plus years of using handguns have given me vast opportunities to carry and shoot a large number of handguns and calibers.

Now my every day carry is a SR1911 or a Glock 23.

A couple of days ago I was carrying my 41 mag while running bears with the hounds.

A 41 or 44 mag with good bullets have no trouble shooting through a large bears skull.

In my opinion, the Glock 19 is the finest pistol there is. But, that’s just me.

As long as they’re “extremely well-trained”, maybe they won’t shoot themselves as much as cops do.

I like the Glock 26, as well. And it, too, is one of my carry pistols. But there is just something about the 19 that “plucks all my strings.”

I find it very difficult to develop a true romantic attachment to the ugliest hand gun ever made.

Good choice in merits, plus it’s the closet thing to the “universal world-wide 9mm” there is.

That looks like a P220ST.
Fine weapon.
All steel, as another poster pointed out.

Yes, all steel IS a good thing.
