Which Glock to get???

My only handgun (so far) is my glock 26. I agree with everyone else saying go rent and shoot all of them. This is why I ended up with my 26 for concealed carry. I shot best with it! I'm definitely going to get more guns. I'm gonna get a 17 or 19 and customize it next. 9mm is cheaper than .40 and .45 and more controllable (in my opinion.)

 

17 all the way

 

I now have 2 23's because my left hand was jealous Actually it was a really good deal and I have too much 40 to switch. I recently bought a 43 and it is a great gun.

 

Sig p226

 

i'm thinking about picking up a 19. the more i look into converting my 23 to 9mm for the range, the less inclined i am to do it. best case, all you need is a barrel...worst case, barrel, guide spring, ejector...what started out as a simple swap, ain't so simple anymore.

 

I have carried all the Glock pistols you listed as duty firearms. Hands down I would go with the Glock 19. I also currently carry the 19 for duty. This is also the number one sold Glock in the world for a reason. High capacity mags, easy to conceal and carry for duty and very reliable.

Glock 19 all the way.

 

Glock??? *Scoffs indignantly*... Buy a Sig.

 

For your stated use, you might consider full size - 17 or 21. Then it comes down to what size fits you best and how much you want to spend on ammo. The 21 is a large weapon for a large hand. Since you mention this purchase is on a bit of a budget, you might want to save a few bucks on ammunition and go with the 17.
Glocks; some love them, some hate them. No matter what group your in, almost no one will say they aren't a good reliable tool for the job. I own 5 and am shopping for number 6, so I'm in the group that appreciates what they are. I also own Kimber, Sig, Beretta, etc. and wouldn't discourage shopping any other brands, but that's not what you asked. As long as the weapon is reliable, safe and accurate it's a matter of personal preference, fit and cost. Anybody that specifically states one brand unequivocally is doing a disservice.

 

For anyone interested... There is a book out "Glock, The Rise of America's Gun". Very interesting book about the humble beginnings of the Glock Company. I am not a big Glock fan, but they are definitely among the most reliable handguns available.

 

You have gone too far comrade. The AR is Americas gun!!!!

 

Where does one buy a Glock? Local? Gunbroker.com?

I'm wanting a gen 3 19, preferably NOS. There are a bunch on gunbroker, but is that legit?

Is using my range as the FFL kinda bad juju? (Why not buy from my range? It's cheaper at GB).

 

I meant new old stock. Not sure about MOS. Hell, I didn't even know what that was till yesterday.

 

19 for an all around gun is good I have or have had at one time or another every model glock I like the 19 or 23 the best for truck/4wheeler gun

 

3rd gen 19/

 

James Yeager is homo. But I agree with that statement. Unless you can pony up enough cash for a 1911 or wheel gun
