Little Mistakes You Notice.

[k9870]

Guns in ankle holsters that are way to big to be in an ankle holster. Example: In that resident evil movie where somebody pulled a glock 17 out, and countless movies where you think "well, that gun is able to be carried but would be too unconfortable to do everyday"

Just saw a guy pull a glock 19 or 17 out of a boot on burn notice, like an ankle is a carry place

I have an ankle holster for my Glock 26. I've carried the G26 exactly twice that way. The last time was almost three years ago. No way do I want to do that again. My S&W Model 49 and my Colt Detective Special are the only handguns that I carry on a consistent basis in an ankle holster.

At the risk of being accused of contributing to Thread Drift I carry a Glock 19 3rd Generation. It was issued to me brand new four years ago. It's a great little pistol. I shoot it well and I've never had it give me any trouble. I literally trust my life and other lives (i.e. citizens and other officers) with it.

No I don't think Glocks are the end all and be all of pistols and I'm not real impressed with the Glock 20/21, but I do like my G19 3rd Gen.

Now several folks are trying to tell me I need to get the G19 4th Gen. I fired both the 17 and the 19 4th Gen models about a week ago. They're okay, but I'm sticking with my 19. I hope to retire in about thirteen years still carrying it. And I hope that my department will give it to me as a retirement gift. It's still standard practice in the United States to present a retiring officer with his/her's duty handgun.

If they don't want to give the damn thing to me I'll buy it.

How well does the 19 shoot? Out of all the Glocks, it is the only one that I don't think feels awkward and I might consider getting one at some point. I've decided not to get a new rifle or an M&P so I'll have money for a different gun and I'm torn between a Ruger single action .357 and a Glock

In that case, get a Glock. .357 Magnums in single action revolvers can kick kind of unpleasantly, where as a Glock won't be any problem to shoot with.

.357 Magnum has gotten way to expensive relative to other calibers too. If you want a shooter, get a 9mm.

Recoil does not concern me. The price does though. 19 it is, if I decide to use the money to get a handgun

Personally I find the G19 to be a good shooter. It's design makes for a very natural pointer. It sits low in the hand and I find the grip to be a very managable size for me. It has a very clean design as well and it's easy to break down. Add to this the fact that the 9mm Luger is an easy shooting load and I find the Glock 19 to be a very easy to use and operate handgun.

Now many here in this forum know I'm a revolver guy and this is true. The revolver is my favorite. But I find the Glock 19 to be a very good real world pistol. Many of my handguns are pieces that I've wanted for many years. As a result I baby them and they spend most of the time in my safe or on my work bench being cleaned for the umpteenth time.

My G19 is truly a tool and I find it to be a good one.

P.S. I also like the classic Sig design, the Browning Hi-Power, Mauser C/96 and the Beretta 92F. But for "real-world" applications I have no heartburn with Glock.

I've heard nothing but praise for the G19. I've handled quite a few Glocks but the 19 is the only one that didn't feel wrong. Hopefully I can find one of the 2nd Gens so I don't have to put up with the finger grooves
