    I've always been a Ruger guy but have been thinking about trying a Glock. I'm not familiar with the various models other than the 43 and 26. Depending on the situation I carry my SR9C or LC9. I'm small frame and carry both IWB for better concealment. Any thoughts on a good glock model that would compare to the size of the SR? I always carry with the 10rd mag, not the 17.

    Congrats SG! I'll have to pick one up eventually as my CC gun. I'm really hoping that they announce a Glock 44 as the 43 in .40 S&W. Either 9 or .40, one of them will make it's way into my collection one of these days.

    I won't be able to shoot until Monday or Tuesday. The finger rest grip will not work with my paws. Going trade it for a non finger rest. The Glock Blue label program is great. This just further pushes my LCR .357 closer to the sale block.

    I have never owned a Glock. Actually never thought I would. After fondling a 43, I'm planning to add a Glock to my collection once I save up for it. I'm looking forward to:koolaid:

    I took a look at one the other day at Ft Liberty. It has a good feel to it.

    I don't think jumping up to .40 in something that size gets you much anything. And I'm a .40 fan, not one of those haters.

    I like the idea of a small single stack in 40. Honestly, i don't know why they started with 380. Same round count and same size hole as a 9, just less power. What's the point? Not trying to hate...I've never had a 380. It just seems like 9 and 40 are just enough different while 380 and 9 aren't.

    What made you select those sites? I've been thinking about getting Trijicon night sites for my 42, but I'm open to other options if there's a good reason to go with that instead.

    They do everything the Trijicons do, but I think they are brighter, IMO. The fiber optics amplify the tritium. Also, they are really bright in the daylight, especially when the sun is out. I liked that, too. The Trijicons are pretty amazing, too, and I almost went that direction. I'm sure I'd have been very happy with them, too.

    Yes, blue label is indeed nice. Just picked up a gen 4 G19 today with night sights and was finally able to get my mitts on a G43 for the first time. I WAS gonna grab a shield for $315 next, but I think the shield has been replaced as the next addition

    Except for those that area really recoil adverse, I've never seen the appeal of .380 in a gun that is the same basic size as a 9mm subcompact. Once you go smaller, the .380 comes into it's own with the ability to pack a small punch in a tiny package.
