Why not

A Glock ? Proven time and time again. Less than a Sig too. But you want what you want so go for it.

Gather 'round, children.

In the beginning was the 1911, and the 1911 was the pistol, and it was good. And behold the Lord said, thou shalt not muck with my disciple John's design for it is good and it worketh. For John made the 1911, and lo all of his weapons, from the designs which I, the Lord, gave him upon the mountain.

And shouldst thou muck with it and hang all manner of foul implements upon it, and profane its internal parts, thou shalt surely fail and have malfunctions, and in the midst of battle thou shalt surely come to harm.

And as the ages passed, men in their ignorance and arrogance didst forget the word of the Lord and began to profane the 1911. The tribe of the gamesman did place recoil spring guides and extended slide releases upon the 1911, and their metalsmiths didst tighten the tolerances and alter parts to their liking, their clarity of mind being clouded by lust.

The artisans did hang all manner of foul implements upon the 1911 and did so alter it that it became impractical to purchase. For lo, the artisans did charge a great tax upon the purchasers of the 1911 so that the lowly field worker could not afford one. And the profaning of the internal parts didst render it unworkable when the dust of the land fell upon it. And lo, they did install adjustable sights, which are an abomination unto the Lord, for they doth break and lose their zero when thou dost need true aim. And those who have done so will be slain in great numbers by their enemies in the great battle.

And it came to pass that the Lord didst see the abomination wrought by man and didst cause, as He had warned, fearful malfunction to come upon the abominations and upon the artisans who thought they could do no wrong.

Seeing the malfunctions and the confusion of men the Lord of the underworld did see an opportunity to further ensnare man and didst bring forth pistols made of plastic, whose form was such that they looked and felt like a brick, yet the eyes of man being clouded, they were consumed by the plastic pistol and did buy vast quantities of them.

And being a deceitful spirit the Devil did make these plastic pistols unamenable to the artisans of earth and they were unable to muck much with the design, and lo these pistols did function.

And the evil one also brought forth pistols in which the trigger didst both #### and fire them, and which require a 'Dingus' to make them appear safe.

But man being stupid did not understand these new pistols and did proceed to shoot themselves with the plastic pistol, and with the trigger cocking pistols, for lo, their manual of arms required great intelligence which man had long since forsaken.

Yet man did not repent of his evil ways, but continued to gloat over these new pistols blaming Satan for the negligent discharges which they themselves had committed.

And when man had been totally ensnared with the plastic pistol the Devil didst cause a plague of the terrible Ka-BOOM to descend upon man and the plastic pistols delivered their retribution upon men. And there was great wailing and gnashing of teeth in the land.

Then seeing that the eyes of man were slowly being opened and that man was truly sorrowful for his sinful misdeeds, the Lord did send his messengers in the form of artisans who did hear and obey the teachings of the Prophet and who didst restore the profaned 1911's to their proper configuration, and lo, to the amazement of men they didst begin to work as the Prophet intended."

Amen

"Bigbore" from ADCO is in the firearm business, did a torture test on a Glock G21, 30 different test, can all be seen from that youtube link. After these he buried it in his back yard for about 18 months, not in any kind of container or anything. Dug it up, clean it up a little and still shot the middle out of a target from 10 yards.

Phew! No sheep pics! :lol:

Nice choice Dustin, are you picking one up?
well i hope to be picking something up in a few months when i get back to the states.
originally i was looking to get a subcompact for CCW in North carolina but I have shore duty orders to Pax River again (to report in July) so that pretty much kills that idea of CCW.

Ive been doing a lot of internet gun browsing but I'll still want to go to the gun shops and hold them to see which I like best. Looking at 9mm or .40... 9mm cheaper to practice with.

I hear the base pistol range is still open on Pax so I'm hoping that will be an option for range time.

I really like the concept of the P250 (ability to change calibers) but I'm also diggin the Taurus 24/7 and 809, the S&W M&P, glock 26 or 27, a few others... prefer DAO though.

Glock 19/23 and 26/27 have the ability to be converted back in forth between 9mm and .40, I have a G19 and I can wear in an IWB M-Tac holster from Comp-Tac and forget I even have it there. The G19/23 is the perfect size IMO, small enough to conceal yet large enough to be a full fledged combat handgun.

In a stand up slug fest I would trust my 1911 built in 1918 over my Glock 19. Just my opinion.

I don't see how some wiz bang tool that can be converted do 'everything' can be truly good at anything.



Find what you like. Get good and comfortable with it says I. :buddies:
