Glock owners united MEGA THREAD

Haha oh I know
I just stuck it on top of the others lol

 

the one I found cheap is gone...… now do I keep my bodyguard or trade it for a 42 I only need 1 .380

 

Anyone have any feedback on the Glock 19X? I’m ordering one this weekend from my buddies Gun shop to have him customize, but I’ve found another one used for $500. Would it be terrible to have 2? I’d leave the used one alone and probably keep it in the truck since I don’t have any unmodified pistols I’d risk losing to a thief. Tell me I’m dumb, or the smartest man alive..... never even handled one so that’s where I’m at.

 

I was about to say the same thing. If you leave it in your truck get a Console Vault if you don't already have one.

 

I realize there’s risk involved, it’s why I’ve never carried my expensive stuff around with me. I won’t be carrying it on me when I exit the truck, so it will have to stay in the truck during the day. I’ve been kicking around the idea of buying a police trade-in Glock 22 for $300 and calling it done, but then this 19X popped up.

That’s a good idea for sure! I’ll have to research those again, looked into them a while back but never bought one because at the time I was on a kick where I didn’t ever remove my suppressor from the pistol so it had to live in the locked glovebox due to the size.

 

Here in People's Republik of Commifornia They sell them through private party for $1200 minimum

 

Just found this... always finding new stuff in Tacomaworld.
I have a Glock 43 +2 mag extensions and a Alien gear IWB 4.0 for carry.
I went with the 43 for my first carry but have been for 8 months now and looking to step up.
The question: Anyone Carry a G17? Looking between that and a 19 just not sure the size difference would matter. Due to that I’m coming from a 43 the round difference between the 17&19 is not a concern.

 

I have both a 17 and 19, there isnt much difference between the two size wise. That being said i prefer the 19 normally and the only time i'll carry the 17 is during cooler months when i have a hoodie on.

 

The 19 will be more “comfortable” depending on your body type and carry location. The 17 is pretty big... people carry them but since you’re coming from a 43, I’d say try the 19 first.

 

For carry purposes I would go with the 19....smaller and easier to conceal. I do carry my 31 with a light under certain clothing tho.

 

Thats a good point i forgot to mention, i carry both with a TRL1 underneath.

 

Thanks everyone. The 43 is great for carry I just have large hands and the 19 +17 feel better haven’t shot either yet so I’m prob going to start there. As for body type I’m 6’2 260. Tried appendix and hated it so it’s hip at 3-4oclock. The only thought I had with the 17 was sitting. But if I use the holster I have I can set it to ride high and think it would be fine. But I’m leaning towards the 19. Holster wise I can get the shell for either for my current system for 30 so I’m going to start there. Any thoughts on holsters?

 

@BulletToothTony seems to always have a couple 19 holsters for sale.

 

This is painfully true

 

Don't overlook the 26. I know several people that carry them and are very happy with them. You can carry it w/ a shorter 26 mag in the mag well and a spare 19 or 17 mag in your pocket.

 

I didn’t overlook but puts me in the same spot as my 43. I’d need the mag extensions to get a full grip. I’m trying to get away from that to help smooth mag changes. With the 26 after dropping the mag I still have my pinky not on the grip. I’m fully aware that this will more than likely never be an issue as if I need to go thru a mag and change fast I made very poor decisions leading up to that. It’s more I’m leaning towards a good carry gun that I can also use for practice in the target competition side. If I had endless supply of money I’d buy a 26 and a 34 but I’d also have a brand new truck as well.

 

I typically CC a G19, but I also have a G27. The answer to the above problem is pierce base plates. Life savers!

 

Agreed that’s what I have on my 43.

 

I have an extended mag that works good.
