i took a year's lunch money, and i am buying a GLOCK 21!

when our economy hit the turd pile..my wife got laid off. we had to re-think the way we think about money. i used to visit the ATM regularly, for "walking around money". it drove my wife crazy, as she balances and adjust the budget almost daily. so as an adult, i put myself on an allowance. i picked a reasonable amount, and pull it out of my paycheck on the 1st of every month. this is my "mad" money. frivilous lunches, crazy fun purchases..life cost still comes from house money. i got into the habit of taking leftovers for lunch, making my coffee in the morning and taking a thermos. i still have fun, but i skimmed a tiny bit of my $$ and squirrelled it away...HA! i just ordered a new GLOCK!

BRING ON THE UNDEAD!! i am ready, should the electricity shut off for good. 9mm for the wife to cover the back door, and i will plunk 45 thru the front..

i think the economy sucks..but if i had to pick a silver-lining, this crap will teach us how to think about money. except my house, i owe zero $$.

 

i did get the small frame model. my hands look like miniature manly hands..

 

Check out the Federal HST in 230 grain. I also like the Speer Gold Dot rounds..they're bonded.

 

I enjoy my 21. I have tritium night sights on it as well. Good gun.

 

That is great! Props to you

 

Congrats on all counts!! Just think how much money we would have if we did this when times are good and money is flowing. I try to do what you did all the time.

 

Congrats, you can't own enough glocks

 

first handgun purchase in cali too. what a joy !!

a friend of a friend..cool guy, he is selling it to me at cost. 10 day wait begins...

hoping my SWAT bro can get me a good deal on a gun mounted light.

 

Ebay, Streamlight TLR-1..reliable LED light for around 85-95 bucks

 

Congrats, i am getting ready to buy my first handgun in about 10 years. Been into rifles but i miss the handgun.

 

Nice choice man I'm picking up a G21 real soon.

 

Good job OP! Saving up money like that takes dedication...enjoy your purchase!

 

the 10-day wait begins.......

 

dont you love the epic journey it takes to buy a hand gun in good old CA..?

 

Is this the one with the integrated LED and the laser sight? They sell for $200 elsewhere!?!?!

 

That's the TLR-2..MSRP $279....TLR-1 MSRP $129

 

fuck you and fuck your states. Im leaving


EDIT: just kidding, congrats on the purchase

 

I had a 21 for a long time and had to deal with the big frame, then out of heavan the 21 sf Thank you zeus!!!
I now have a 30 sf for carry to compliment my 21sf.
I really like the SFs for my small girly hands!!!!!

Thanks Gaston for making a frame to fit us small handed fellows!!!!

 

yeah, when i was stationed in texas i could do the same thing. but not here in CA. if you fast track it and the govt isn't lagging ass on paper work, it can still take almost a month to buy a pistol...
