all guns should be glocks

#at=233


Something funny for all those who love self defense caliber/make arguments.




Note: I didn't watch any of his other videos, I don't know his politics. Seems pretty progressive to me with his musical ability and the use of a piano and clarinet. It's time for football practice so I can't check out any of his work.

I personally prefer revolvers for self defense as they are also very reliable. But then I'm a civilian not a cop.

The best we could come up with when I was young was: "Hey, hey, LBJ; how many kids have you killed today?"

The only 45 I'd ever owned was a PT145 and it jammed every 3ed or 5th shot so I never put much down the pipe. Maybe 400 rounds total, but I loved shooting it, there's just something about the feel of shooting the 45 vs 9 or 40. I sent it down the road at the last gun show and picked up a cheap shooter of a SR45 on a impulse buy (I'd went for a M&P 40, 9 or 45). I'm impressed with it so far with it's initial reliability and accuracy, thus I need to actually invest in a good quality 45. p220, M&P, maybe a 1911 since I've never owned one. So many great 45's so little time, and I need to buy and learn to reload before I can fully appreciate the 45 cartridge. It would be nice to reload 7mm-08 and 270, along with 9,40,380.

Speer, Hornady, Lee, all put out good basic, and some advanced, load data and how to knowledge.

Any gun that has pulling the trigger as part of the disassembly process needs a radical redesign. I like SIG Sauer. Just as reliable and safer design.

FDE g20....super extra ugly but fun to shoot. 30 rounds later I got the right offer, since I don't reload it just didn't make sense to keep it.

However, if I'd get off my ass and order a E2 and short trigger set it'd feel better in my hand.

and that is why I don't like the Glock too much. The Glock 17 and 21 are full-sized and my little finger is off the bottom of the grip.

I got to hold a p227 a few weeks ago and then a 220. It's night and day...a 220 is on my short list of must have home defense pistols.

I did spring for a SR45 a few weeks ago. Put another 50 rounds down range this evening I like this little pot metal gun....really accurate and a good trigger. 250 rounds so far without an issue impressed for a 400 buck 45.

22. My glocks

When I first shot the glock back when it first came out, I hate it!
Felt like holding a piece of plastic and shooting it.

But as time goes by and Glock became more accepted and the feel of the plastic grew on me just as well.
I now own several glocks g17 & g30s

would like an HK, but its too damn expensive.
