I picked up my first handgun today. Proud to say it's a Glock 19. I was in love the first time I touched it. Can't wait to take this bad boy to the range.

Schuey2002 · December 26, 2002, 05:37 PM

Welcome to the club. I've got 2 Glock 19's of my own..

One for each hand. Sort of a John Woo thing,I guess..

tlhelmer · December 26, 2002, 05:39 PM

Great gun. It is my carry gun for on and off duty now that I am in plainclothes.

Peetmoss · December 26, 2002, 06:36 PM

Can anyone recomend a good holster for the G19. I am thinking of probably a 4 O'clock carry posistion?

NJ3 · December 26, 2002, 06:41 PM

A Glock 19 is a great choice.

For holsters try Sidearmor or Comp-tac .

NJ3 · December 26, 2002, 06:43 PM

Sidearmor has a sale on some of their holsters now, BTW.

Peetmoss · December 26, 2002, 06:51 PM

Can I fire +P and or +P+ 9mm in my Gen 2 Glock 19?

Preacherman · December 26, 2002, 07:12 PM

Yep - +P or +P+ work fine in the G19. For a holster, try the Alessi Talon Plus IWB. It's my standard carry holster for the G19/23 size weapons, and I've never found a better.

Peetmoss · December 26, 2002, 07:33 PM

Thanks for the info Preacherman. I checked the manual and Glocks web site and a few other dedicated Glock sites and never found a mention of it. And I most definitly don't want to have a blown up gun with a new nickname "Lefty"

Will check out that holster straight away.

I've been around alot of Glocks,and have yet to see one blow up.

krept · December 26, 2002, 08:47 PM

Congrats... now, what kind of ammo are you gonna carry in it?

RustyHammer · December 26, 2002, 08:50 PM

Dark side? Did I miss something?

Peetmoss · December 26, 2002, 08:50 PM

Thats a good thing IMNSHO. I don't want my investment to be a useless pile of scrap metal and plastic. Cost me a Crap load of cash($545 plus tax). Supposably NIB but I highly dought it. Looks new but it's gen 2. I could have done alot better but once I held it I couldn't wait I just had to have it.

Zorro · December 27, 2002, 01:23 AM

Real Jedi use Colt 1911s.

BamBam · December 27, 2002, 03:26 AM

Peetmoss,

The Glock is a great choice!

Be prepared for a lot of flack from non-Glockers. If a Glock in Zimbabwe has a failure to feed, you can bet that someone will post it here within the hour.

Yeah, I've done that a few times.
That's why I've been staying away from my local "toy" dealer..

Sidearmor if you like Kydex. Galco if you're into leather.

G19 is a great sidearm.

Saw one G21 kB a month or two ago. Owner was handloading and had screwed up a load.

He fortunately didn't get any broken bones out of the deal, but he said it was like having his hand hammered on an anvil.

Moral of the story: If you handload, be careful!

WELCOME TO THE DARK SIDE, MY SON!!

BogBabe · December 27, 2002, 09:29 AM

I predict the Glock will spoil you for anything else!

thisaway · December 27, 2002, 08:15 PM

I finally broke down and bought a G19 this year myself...I bought my G20 in 1991!

shooter.45 · December 27, 2002, 08:18 PM

I am getting a G19 pick it up on tuesday. GOod luck with yours.

blades67 · December 27, 2002, 08:22 PM

If you like the 19, you'll love the 20!

pale horse · December 27, 2002, 08:29 PM

Well I just turned one of my buddies to the good side he is getting a SA Milspec cause the Glock is not what he wanted.

The dark side gained and lost one..........

DeltaElite · December 27, 2002, 08:36 PM

I like the G19.
I would carry it in anything from Galco . I hate plastic holsters.
I would shoot a 115+p load out of it.
