I realize I could live with myself for buying a Glock....the tilting link barrel IS a JMB design!! Darren, I recently found an older Llama 1911 in a gun store for about $160....rough and rusty blueing......project gun.......??
Can't go wrong with a 19. After all, that's why I have 4...
Went shooting today, with some family members....Glock owners all....I like the 19, and want a 26 so bad I can taste it......what's happening to me?
I love John Browning....I love John Browning......I love John Browning..........
G19 has become my favorite as well. Also own a G21, and it is moving up in pref on a daily count. Use to carry 2- G22/27, and never felt undergunned. I retired from the job, turned in my 40cal guns, and walked into a NIB G19. Never looked back.
Back in Prehistoric Days, the S&W M10/15 was the accepted LEO firearm. Then M19/66, then 686, Wonder Nines(5906, 4006, etc). Hard to retire the older revolvers, but new era demands upgrades. G19, and cousins make the grade.
The FBI Miami Shootout displayed the need, Glock responded. Most LEO/Feds use a Glock of some type. (Other brands are very acceptable, but universal fit/application is well for non LEO as well).
Glad to see Glock become accepted. Heard a lot of rumors that plastic guns would fall apart, blow up, stop working, but look at the G17. Still popular.
Good luck.
