Help me choose my next pistol!

[gregkl]

Well, I went to Bradis today with my dad. He wanted to buy a Glock 26, and I wanted to look around.

After talking to shooter521, and based on his recommendation, I came home with a Glock 30s. I put down 100 rounds at home. And I absolutely love this gun. I believe once I get some Ameriglo Hackathorn sights for it, and a holster, it's going to become my new carry piece.

This gun wasn't even on my list, but I'm glad I bought it. It's friggin awesome!

Congrats! Keeping the family(Glock) pure!

No 1911 I am so disappointed. But the 30s looks like a nice piece so I guess we can let it slide

Well, that was rather anticlimactic.

It's anticlimactic that I bought the Glock 30s?

 

[jamil]

42 is a good number. Why didn't he go with 42?

No one can argue that it's not a good gun. I was really thinking you would come out of the box and try something new. I guess the M&P debacle scared you. Now you have to get a reloading machine to feed it, but that can be fun, too.

I was hoping you would go for the hard to find, different type of hand gun.

Surprised that a Colt or Kimber were not recommended.

I see. I'll admit, that I WAS excited about trying something new when I bought that M&P. But, with the problems I experienced with that gun, even after sending it back to S&W, it left a sour taste. Maybe Glock has spoiled me, but I have never had any problems with them.

I will get a 1911 someday, but for now I'm just going to enjoy my Glocks. They have never let me down. They're simple, and reliable.

When I'm ready to buy a 1911, it's going to be something real nice. And I'd like to spend more than a $1000 for one. But I'm just not there yet.

The new ones are overpriced for the product received. They have name recognition and charge extra as a result.

Sorry guys I really want to like my M&P. It has the looks, it has the feel, it runs great. Stupid thing just will not shoot accurate enough for me.

I've had the same issue with M&P. I could shoot a lot more accurately from my Ruger SR9c than I could from a full size M&P 9mm. I want to like M&P but I'm just not sure.

 

[snuffy33]

Wait until next year when Glock releases their single stack 9mm.

If you have to stay with Glock, a 30s is your best bet. Of not, 1911.

 

[k1500]

You already have multiple Glocks. Why buy more of (essentially) the same? Change things up. I'd recommend a Beretta 92FS. Used ones are affordable. The mags are plentiful and cheap . I like the "natural point" of it over a Glock.

A 1911 would be nice as well. I like shooting them but don't own one.

 

[speedracer302]

i also have 3 Glocks. My favorite is the 23. The 40cal round is awesome. makes the 19 seem like a toy.

 

[U.S. Patriot]

Buy what you like?

 

[chezuki]

Pretty sure he said he already bought a G30s.

Nice, I traded off my old Glock 30 (and my 21 as well as my 27) some time back to consolidate calibers and pistol sizes (Glock 23's, 19's and a 26 now).

I'm curious, is there something that the 30s does for you that your 26, 19 or 17 didn't, or were you just really looking to get into .45?

I checked out a 42 in Bradis the other day for the first time, and I wasn't convinced before that I needed anything smaller than the 26, but I will take a hard look when Glock inevitably comes out with their single stack 9. I could not believe how small the 42 was, and still managed to retain the things I like most about the Glock. I have absolutely no interest in the the .380, but now I "need" a single stack 9 Glock when they come out.
