For you gun owners
Hi all,
Today I'm picking up my first firearm. I'm getting the glock 21-.45 a.c.p. Just wondering if anyone has any feedback on this badboy? I'm very excited to start this new "expensive" hobby! |

It's a good gun no doubt. i might have steered you to a different caliber for your first real experience with a hand gun in a long time, but im sure you will be fine. what do you plan on using it for?

mostly shooting range, but of course home defense...I mean i've got the runaround about the different makes out there, and although I haven't shot myself, I've already become a little loyal to the glock name...I'm already planning what my next toy will be after this one...

Note he didn't say different brand of gun, he said caliber of gun. Glocks were designed to fire the 9mm and that's what they do best, but they also come in all the other common calibers as you found out.

For a case of 1000 on sale of white box at Dick's Sporting Goods, it cost me $330.00. Holy crap!
Because I can get .40 for free (don't ask), I am looking to have a .40 1911 built, which would pay for itself within a year or less of regular shooting for me.

I can't answer that on a public forum, but it's not some trick or anything I am keeping from you that you could repeat or anything.

I am veyr much so open to other gun makes...I just knew that with my gun collection I definitely wanted to have at least one or so glocks...I was also considering the springfield armory xd series, and I like the 1911's...but I think after I've had fun with the glock, more along the lines of xmas time, im going to get my first rifle if the opportunity is right...rifles I need more help with as I don't know as much about them...also while were on this, what brand ammo should I use? what are your preferences?

Always treat every gun like it is loaded
Never point a gun at anything you can't afford to shoot Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot Check your back drop Glock is an excellent choice.

I'm trying to part with a GOVT 10mm right now,
and one of the guys I work with, told me he wouldn't buy it because he's using nothing but single mech autos... Every handgun he has is now a Glock of different size and caliber. (I wouldn't do that, but shows you how much they are loved) I personally have always prefered H&K for the way they are put together, but mostly the feel. I might be sporting a P2k w/.40 SW Air Freedoms Have Problems?... Chances are its due to overpopulation Save The Oceans, Save the Planet, Save Your Family, Save Yourself! |

i like taurus as i have said before. recently picked up a baby eagle. i have not had a chance to take it out yet. i am really not a fan of glocks, i dont like the look or feel of the gun.
i bet in the world you live in every one is a pony, eats rainbows, and craps butterflys.
there is no damn justice in the world. |
