trainman0978 Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 (edited) so, after many years of looking waiting and wanting, I decided to just say fuck it and get what I wanted. I went and looked friday, and the local shop had 2 of this model in all black, for $ 479.00 each.... I waited.... and they sold both of them yesterday. So I ended up paying $ 489.00 for it in olive drab and black. I don't know why they charge ten bucks more for the O.D. green, but I kinda like it after looking at it for a bit. I went with the model 22 because it has a slightly longer barrel and more shot capacity. Hopefully I will get to go shoot it a few times tomorrow. I bought this purely for home defense, not for concealment, which is why I wanted the longer barrel. The next best price I could find for the model in all black anywhere in savannah was $ 509.00 .... I don't know if it is true or not, but three different shops all said Glock is about 200,000 units behind demand for their weapons right now, so I didn't wanna put it off any longer. and my puppy wondering why I am not playing with her...

creyc Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 It's a very nice handgun, interesting choice with the .40. Ever shot a .40 cal handgun? Some people (including myself) don't like the recoil in comparison to a 9mm or .45 ACP. That glock will give you years of reliable service, very fine weapons.

trainman0978 Posted February 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Yeah I have shot one before. From everything I have read, you get the best of both worlds with the .40 .... the power of a .45 round with the speed of the 9mm . After reading through the manual and doing the first "field strip" per the instruction manual, cleaning this thing will be quick and simple.... I am thoroughly impressed with it. My only hang up is I am left handed, and the mag release is designed for a right handed shooter, giving a right handed the ability to drop magazines out with their thumb. I have to do a little finger curl with my left pointer finger to change them out. The likely hood of me needing a second 15 round magazine in a situation is pretty slim, but I will keep practicing with it to refine the technique a bit more. All in all a fantasticly built weapon , I can not wait to pull the trigger and give it test run. Quote 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser Voo Doo Blue my upgrades and "build" thread.

creyc Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Funny, I'm left handed as well which made looking for a good self defense pistol quite fun. I went with a Smith and Wesson M&P compact 9mm. One of the cool features (apart from fitting my hand amazingly well thanks to interchangeable palm swells) is that the gun is completely ambidextrous. I've got the mag release on the right to use with my left thumb, and the slide release is on both sides. Now go take that thing to the range!

trainman0978 Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 so.... To all the Glock owners out there, what gun oil do you guys use, and how often do you oil up your weapon.... I usually clean my guns well after a range day, and I just lube them up with the aerosol Rem-oil ... Have any of you found that one oil works better than another or anything like that... suggestions welcome. thanks. Quote 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser Voo Doo Blue my upgrades and "build" thread.
