Hey guys Im new here. I wanted to know how many of you guys have a Glock 19 9mm? That's what I shoot and that's my favorite gun.

I do, it's a very reliable weapon for me and I feel like the balance works well. Even though I seldom get out to shoot it, I find I can still be pretty accurate with it. May get a .40 sometime too.

I find the 19 grip to be a wee smidgen too short for my average-size mitts.

I have the 34, which is simply a longer barrel on a standard model 17.

Ok, I have a few questions...How often do ya'll clean your guns and also, what brand of ammo do you use? Just curious...

When do you clean a gun? After every use, of course. Fits the whole "I wipe my backside every time I crap" vibe. While the Glock is arguably one of the best designed, more durable, most heavily tested pistols on the planet... it still needs a little TLC simply because it is an autoloading handgun that utilizes a magazine. Cleaning the gun after each use prevents the heavy accumulation of carbon anyway, making the immediate cleaning quicker and immensely easier than cleaning it once every five range trips.

I use standard FMJ ammunition available at any gun shop, Wal-Mart, K-Mart. Avoid using solid lead ammunition (reloads) in Glocks due to the rifling. The Glock will digest any commercial ammunition you put through it. Avoid steel and aluminum cased rounds. Avoid a heavy diet of +P rounds.

All the best guns are made by IMI

Stop it, you. Stop it right now. You can't even own pistols in your country.

You cant legally own them... does this mean I dont have an opinion?

Of course you can have an opinion Strange Famous.

I always thought that Glock was short for glockenspiel. (ok, maybe I knew it wa sa gun alll along) Which is one of the coolest instruments on the planet.

This represents an opinion without any backing... either factual or opinion-related. You can say whatever you want, but you have to back it up... with whatever you want. We've gone over this in other gun threads. If you're going to say "IMI PWNZ, d00d!" you have to back it up with a technical specification comparison or torture test performance report or something cool about it like how it'll kill a mutant T-rex with one shot to the pancreas, land you some sloppy deep throat from Jessica Alba, etc.

Steyrs are what will land you sloppy deep throat from Jessica Alba. Why else would I own one?


:thumbsup:

Oh, and as far as IMI is concerned, the 941 was the preferred weapon of Spike Spiegel in Cowboy Bebop. How's that to instantly up the cool-factor of a weapon?

H&K USP vs. Glock vs. Steyr M series vs. S&W M&P vs. Springfield XD.

Oh my!

I own a Glock 26, the sub-compact version of the 19. I thought it was a decent gun, but then did something bad.... I bought a 92FS and a Kimber 1911 and haven't shot the Glock since.

Some find the M92FS too big for the cartridge it shoots and proves to be a minor hassle for concealed carry if you're a skinny guy. The new 17+1 round magazines make it just as appealing as a Glock if you like a full-metal handgun.

And... M1911s... polished relics that somehow remain crowd-pleasers. :)

...

Wanna sell your Glock 26? :D

I don't know why, but I found this hilarious.

In regard to the OP, I have a Glock 19 and I love it. The 9mm ammo is cheap, it's fun to shoot at the range, and makes for a nice home defense weapon. I also went with some tritium night sights and couldn't be happier.

I suggest this conversion kit though. It converts the 19 from a 9mm round to a 22 LR. It's cheap as hell to shoot, and blowing through the 10 round clip is a blast. The best part is there's no FFL required so it can be shipped to your door.

yeah, i like the smith and wesson 1911's.
and im probably the only person alive that likes rugers.

i cant really say much on the situation, because the only pistol i own is a Smith and Wesson .22 long CTG. i just tried finding some info on this gun, and i cant find shit.

Revolvers or automatics? I'll assume autos.

The automatics are reliable and inexpensive, but they're just UGLY. Good fightin' guns, but definitely not winners in any fashion contest.

Really... all Ruger products are like that.

The have a new single-stack polymer .45 which is very impressive... but it's clunky and doesn't do anything a Glock or XD or M&P won't do.

you would be correct.

im not much for looks anyway, but it might be time that i picked up a pistol with some sort of appeal.

oh yeah, i wouldnt mind owning one of those. it doesnt look that bad at all. actually it looks rather "solid" if you get me.

the only real ruger pistols i have any experience with are the rim fires that kind of resemble the old wwII german lugers.

If you hold the p345 in your hand, it's a lot more solid than you would expect it to be. Hell of a lot more accurate than you'd expect too, given its price range. It does border on the big side for CC though IMO.

mmmmmmmm..... glock 19 yummy!

ok so it's the only pistol I own not averse to using other pistols but just havn't been out looking for anything else

Big and chunky vs. square grip vs. awesome vs. Glock v2.0 (new and improved grip) vs. Glock v1.5 (grip safety)

I carry a glock 33 (.357 sig) concealed daily. Love it. I also have a glock 23 (.40) I love it too. They work for my needs and didi I mention I love 'em.

Steyr would be MORE awesome if their new pistols didn't cave to the plastic pew-pew convention. The Garand-style safety was a great idea.

Honestly.

That's why I went out looking for an old style S-series. complete with the Garand style safety. It works incredibly well, I gotta say.

...now if I can just find an M-357 of the same era...

(though I must admit, the new Mannox finish they're putting out is sexy as hell. CDNN will just need to get rid of all the pistols previously liquidated, so Steyr can import at a price respective of the pistol's quality. It also doesn't bode well with the falling dollar/rising euro trend happening now... I really hope they can find a market O_o)

Yeah, I liked the idea of the original safety as well.

Mannox, eh? 100% corrosion resistant? DAMN IT. The Tennifer finish I've got is only 99% corrosion resistant. This blows.

Glocks...

Earlier today i remembered they have a problem...Its called the Kaboom malfunction.

Turns out all firearms loaded with improper ammunition have that error.

I've seen these pictures before. Partially supported chamber, blah-blah.

Forgetting that decimal point at the powder stage on the reloading bench?

Does it every time. Thin walls of the barrel unzip and the gun goes "OH NO!"

...

The ammunition constraints of the Glock pistol are dictated by how light and fast it is designed to operate. The way the round is supported in the thin chamber is designed for light weight and speed, not durability to ammunition out of standard SAAMI ranges (or within, in the case of the Model 20 in 10mm, which had nasty rumors of breaking).

Another fine example of this is in the difference between the Winchester 94 in .30-30 and the Marlin 336 in .30-30. Both of these lever action rifles are designed to shoot the same exact same rather tame .30-30 cartridge, but the 94 is 3 pounds lighter because it has less steel in the block. The Marlin? You can hot rod Marlin rifles to shoot dynamite sticks, I bet. The Winchester isn't a weak or fragile gun... it just doesn't handle ammo beyond what is stamped on the barrel. You save a lot of weight in doing exactly what you say and nothing more. Just like the Glock. It'll take 9x19mm from 115 to 147 and give you accuracy and reliability well beyond most other semi-autos. Just don't ask it to shoot heavy loads.

Dear America's Gun Owners: RTFM.

Q: What do you call a Glock with a +P+ in the chamber?

A: A frag grenade.

oh , i gotcha. i doubt ill be loading my own ammo any time soon.

aye crompington, you know alot about fire arms. my marlin .22 is having some jamming problems. you think if i drop you a pm you could help me out.

Just another note: the barrel in the second picture is not a Glock barrel, it is aftermarket, and I don't think the first picture was caused by a KB, looks more like a grinding wheel taken to the grip...

Lack of case support doesn't split barrels. Lack of case support doesn't increase pressure. Neither does firing out of battery which is a minor concern if you don't maintain or monkey with the gun.

That being said I only approve of the 9MM Glocks.

Yeah, turns out that little exploding brass thing inside the barrel does it... and seeing how the Glock isn't designed to handle the bullshit some people feed into it... it breaks at the weakest point.

...

Hey... wait. Do you hear that sound? Listen. Yeah. The scream in the distance?
