Howdy,
Been a long time (like 2 years) since on here last... But better late than never, or something like that...
I was at my local FFL (he runs a pawn shop) having him do a transfer on a PF-9 that I recently picked up on gunbroker...
I made the mistake of browsing through the handguns he had in the case and a minty looking glock compact in 45 caught my eye... When i saw the price on the tag i kept asking what is wrong with it? nada... I examined the glock and field stripped it and it was brand new and had zero wear on the hood or barrel and appeared to have only been fired at the factory. the 3 mags (yes 3 and one of them had a pearce+0 extension) were all brand new... only thing is 2 of them were not drop free (all are factory glock).... no biggie.
i asked him what the best he could do was all he said was make an offer (usually that means he isnt budging)... i said get me out the door for the sticker price and sure enough i was doing the paperwork and handing over cash.... there goes part of my not yet seen tax return.
long story short, i got home stripped the gun apart, cleaned up all the factory goop and that is when it hit me!!! this is not compatiable with my G21 mags......
that is what i get for buying a gun in under 10 minutes and too caught up in the price, brand new condition, and the very voluptuous girl behind the counter who kept chatting with me (she knows i am going through a divorce and will be back on the market soon
)
i was just sitting there kicking my self for my stupidity, but then i started to holster the gun, see how it fit for carry (that is why i bought it anyway) and turns out i like it! range time with 100 rounds of winchester 230gr PDX1 hollow points and no hiccups... once i can get my hands on another 100 or so (I don't go into my reserve ammo stash) I will start to carry... i also ran 300rds of reloads and WWB 230gr through it without a problem... i did notice that on the 2 mags without the pearce +0 extension i had a more pronounced flip of the muzzle and more "bite" in the webbing of the hand... already have 2 extensions (+0) on order...
this "mistake" on my part has turned into a nice single stack carry gun to switch to when I am tired of my other 1911 compact carrys
