I had some friends over today to shoot at timmy farm and it was a good day.

I shot my G17 and CW9. I also shot a Super Red Hawk in .44, a SR9c, a Sig P250 (9mm), a G30, a M&P Pro 9mm (factory cut for a red dot) and a few others.

Do you know what I learned?

There is still nothing better than a Gen 3 Glock. Some of the others were nice and to be sure the M&P wasn't half bad.....But MAN do Glocks rock. Others may disagree but I'm so happy with my Glocks that I just don't want to buy like I used too. Other pistols just don't call my name like they did in the old days.

I'm not a "fan boy" per say and I respect others who shoot quality pistols by another manufacturer....but for me, Gaston really did achieve perfection. There was a time when I said I'd never own a Glock. Having eaten my words I now say I may never buy anything else.


A few other notes:

1) I sure wish Glock would make a single stack 9mm. The CW9 is very nice but I prefer the Glock style trigger.

2) The M&P Pro was cut, drilled and tapped for the addition of a red dot. It has a filler block screwed on so it doesn't look goofy without the dot. It also came from the factory with higher sights made to co-witness through the red dot. All it needs is to unscrew 2 screws and screw on the dot sight. It shows how innovative S&W has become. I have a Burris fastfire II in my basement collecting dust and my buddy and I are going to install it and give it a test drive. Stay tuned....

Next time shoot some good guns and you will see the difference.

After you learn how much you love the red dot you're going to be in a pickle. You'll love the S&W due to the dot and will be torn about the love of the Glock. My advice is to get the Glock slide milled or pick up a pre-milled slide and let the red dot love show on the Glock.

Well, I gotta spend money on something. If I'm not buying new guns I guess I'll just have to buy new slides.

Sounds like a good day!

Good times! Interesting point on s&w. Glocks are no doubt fine weapons, and have led the pack in striker-fired polymer-frame guns for decades - but they're going to have to inject some innovation pretty soon here. S&W, Ruger, and Springfield have upped the game a lot recently.

HiPoints I hear they are built like bricks

That is a great day! Love those days when my brothers and/or friends go shooting and I get to fire 6-10 different firearms that are not mine. Such a great time...glad you had a blast!

Glocks are fine firearms. I just dont shoot them as well as other platforms. I know the sw40ve is a knock off but its a different feeling different grip angle knock off. I like Glocks fine. And I can shoot one well enough to defend myself with it. I just cant shoot them as well as other pistols.

GLOCK ON timmay!

 

[grouse]

I also said I would never own a Glock, never wanted to like 'em. But its just hard not to like a pistol that has such an easy take down doesn't jam & holds a lot of ammo.

Sounds like fun. I'm hoping to hit the range this weekend

 

[DontTreadOnI]

Went out of my way to get a Gen 3 instead of a Gen 4 when I bought one earlier this year. Haven't looked back since. Happy shooting.

 

[Wishoot]

Nothing wrong with a Gen 3. I used to have one in G22 flavor.

For full sized fun, I'm more of a CZ guy however.

I can relate to this 100%. Over the last few months I've bought a handful of new/new-to-me pistols and they've been getting my love, affection and attention. Yesterday, I put them aside and brought out my Glock 31 and 32 and it was like falling in love all over again. :yup:

 

[ghost tracker]

I didn't like GLOCKs, I didn't want any GLOCKs, I made fun of people who carried GLOCKs, all the while spewing my authoritative, sardonic opinions about GLOCKs to any/everyone within earshot. I now realize that I was a mule-headed fool. And I may STILL be foolish about some things, but not about GLOCKs. And, while I'm fortunate enough to have any number of high-end EDC options, my 3rd Gen G19 is consistently my preferred choice. It has pushed some pretty nice handguns into little more than safe queens & range distractions.

Next time shoot some good guns and you will see the difference.

Please enlighten us on what you consider to be good self defense guns.

Today 01:29 AM -- I had some friends over today to shoot at timmy farm and it was a good day.

I'm impressed. Of course, that must have been a quick session, if done and posting by 1:29am. :tongue:


The G19 and G17 are pretty hard to beat, for Glock's offerings. I like them quite a bit, myself. Not exactly enamored of the blocky, plasticky feel, but they shoot where aimed and shoot every time. Hard not to like a near-perfect performer. Now, if they could make the ergonomics something like the Browning Hi-Power, we'd be talkin' 'bout somethin'. And if they'd come up with a single-stack 9mm, we'd be buyin'. :yup:

I loved my G23 & G21 but gave them to my son. When WI got a concealed carry law I started looking for a new gun. My son was in the police academy & suggested I get an M&P 40C or FS. He's issued the FS 40. I've got an FS on my hip & a compact on order. The grip, man! The grip! Now I know why he suggested them over the Glocks which he, too loves dearly, but the M&P 40 a little better.

Welcome brother.
