Welcome to the G family.
I have a Model 23. Have been considering a 27 for quite some time but keep buying musical gear! I don’t think an amplifier will provide much in the way of self-defense though.
Congrats! I recently picked up a Smith and Wesson M&P 45 ACP.
Ping - - - Did I miss anyone?
Congrats! I bought my first gun today- a Ruger.
Wanted to get it just in case Obama wins and tries a gun grab.
Congratulations!! I LOVE my Glock 19 too.
It’s an easy weapon to love ;^)
Congratulations!
Have fun! Be safe!
Enjoy.
I have had a Glock 22 .40 cal for years and it has never failed to go bang when I pulled the trigger. I have more expensive and exotic guns but the 22 is still my favorite go to gun. Congratulations. Keep shooting and practicing. I quit counting at 2k rounds a long time ago.
enjoy.... I know I would.
Go ye therefore and purchase high-capacity magazines, for they may not always be obtainable.
Also don’t scrimp on leather (holsters).
I love my Glock. I can’t hardly hold the Sig steady - too heavy for me.
Oh, do not use reloads in a Glock.
It’ll void your warranty.
TRAITOR! j/k INBN is an H&K user. Glad to see you up’d yer arsenal though. Rock On and be safe.
Excellent quality, reasonable prices.

The NRA High Power folks followed the ABC’s. First Armalite, then Bushmaster, lastly Colt.
I’m an Armalite fan but the last AR I bought has a Bushmaster lower with an Armalite upper.
My son has an Armalite AR-10. He’s a reloader as I am but I don’t think learning to shoot .308’s is such a good idea for a beginner. You can buy .223 ammo and magazines by the bucketful so I suggest you start with that.
If you need a 9mm carbine, you can always buy an upper for the AR-15 which you can’t with the AR-10.
Great! Now buy lots of ammo for it while you still can. I’m talking cases here.
I have a DPMS SASS .308 that is an awesome long range rifle - .5 MOA with good ammo, 1 MOA with reloaded pulled mil spec (good but not great bullets). Has all the trick parts already on it. Unpack, clean, load, and shoot. A bit heavy due to the heavy barrel profile, but an awesome rifle.
I also have a M&P AR-15 rifle, not sure of the model number but it also has all the trick parts, works well, and is a MOA rifle out to 200 yards (longest range around here). Never a problem with function or quality.
I looked at both the .223 and .304 AR platforms pretty extensively before purchase and both of these had the features and quality I was looking for. Look around, pricing varies by 2-300 between vendors.
Have fun, Buy Both For Maximum Enjoyment!
Next you need a bolt-action (Steyr Scout .308 at one end of the price range at ~$2000, or Mosin/Nagant M44 7.62x54R at the other at ~$100), and an AR15.
But before your next buy, get “The Art of the Rifle” by Jeff Cooper.
Great! Now join a local IDPA club. I used to be active with an informal group years ago, and the experience, practice, knowledge [actual, common sense knowledge], firearm maturity, and training I learned is something I will never forget.
The great thing about IDPA is that you do not need much more than a your handgun, holster, magazines, ammo, eye and ear protection, and a Hawaiian shirt!! [Hawaiian shirts are my favorite type of cover. I have about 15. Some are very nice and appropriate for evenings.]
