Firearm BS thread

Yeah that's true....

 

Just bought my first handgun over the weekend! Gen 4 Glock 19. Couldn't be happier after trying out numerous other brands. Went straight to outdoor range with a friend and loved the feel. I think it is a perfect 1st handgun purchase.

 

Nice! I'm going back and forth between the G19 and G26. I stopped by a dealer on my lunch today and they didn't have the 19 in stock to compare.

 

The 19 just seemed to be the perfect size for home/truck and concealed if I decide to do that down the road... versatile and efficient.

 

I owned both and still have the 26. They were both great, I have the 26 for cc and traded the 19 for a 21.

 

A G19 was my first handgun too. Large enough for 15 round mags, small enough to conceal (with the right clothes), tons of aftermarket support, and a round that's cheap enough to shoot a lot of but still heavy enough for personal defense.
Plus, they're damned simple and quick to take down for cleaning, and they're reliable reliable reliable.

 

You hit the nail on the head. Sold me

 

If it's your only gun go with the 19. If it's carry only go with the 26.

Or go in between and get a FNS9c

 

You guys aren't making my decision any easier.

Not my only gun... I have a Colt Lawman Mark III and a Taurus PT111G2. I'm planning on mostly keeping it in my truck.

 

Ive now shot near 300 of their reman .223 rounds without issue. All cycled great and shot well. I plan to order more.

 

As long as it fires when its suppose to, I'll shoot pink ammo if I get it at a good price and its reliable.

 

You might also check out the M&P 9c. It's been my truck gun for a while now. I have a G19 and I'll never sell it because the wife gave it to me, but I don't shoot it nearly as well as the M&P. I've added a M&P 45 for nightstand duty and carry an M&P shield on a daily basis. The upright and rounded grip is much easier for me to shoot accurately. Seems like a lot of folks have a strong preference one way or the other between the Glocks and M&P series.

 

I carry everything from a Walther PPK/S 380,S&W 640 357,Ruger LCR 357 Gen 3's 19,23,26,27,30 and a range of 1911's in .45 ACP and my G19 is my go too gun.

 

After following this thread for awhile now it seems like some of y'all have about 47 pistols lol. Makes me wonder what else you have in your gun safes? Anything other than pistols..?

 

I've been looking at RIA 1911s lately... I blame ya'll LOL

 

Dude I hooked up with an estate sale about 3 months ago and have scored some amazing guns....

 

Do tell...

 

The 9c;


The Shield;


The 45 with 13-rd mag & light for bump-in-the-night duty;

 

Their are pics I posted here somewhere

 

I just put together a nice little plinker. It's a savage arms FV-SR .22lr with a vortex crossfire scope and Harris bipod.
