Yep, I said it. Glock 19. :gah:
I almost got lured away this weekend to a Springfield Champion Operator which a guy wanted to trade me. And before you all say I'm dumb because of the price difference, my Glock has HD sights, and he wanted my 700 practice rounds, crossbreed, red eye and 2 other holsters and 5 Glock mags to make it even. I thought better of it, simply because I can close my eyes and shoot ragged holes with the 19. My 19 is with me more than my wife, it is a part of me. And it carries 16 rounds in a 10oz lighter and shorter gripped platform than the springer. Nuff said. (Still want the Springer though, I have a sickness)
Anyways, that wasn't my point. My point is today I ran another couple hundred rounds through the 19, and man if I can't shoot the crap out of that gun. Head shots at 25 yards, no problem. Super fast mag dumps, no problem, I keep em all in the "0" of an IDPA target out to 10 yards at break neck speed. And this Glock has now shot a total of 750 steel cased monarch rounds with only one failure to fire due to a hard primer. And has never had a malfunction with anything brass. The only drawback is I get bored at the range. It is so monotonous with the Glock. I need some training or a private outdoor range to really start having some fun.
Anyways, just wanted to tout the ever popular, ever hated (by some) Glock 19. There are guns that do specific things better, but none that are as versatile and capable in almost ANY role as the 19. Love it. :danceban:
