I think it depends on your taste. I don't feel like either really has any pro's or con's over the other.
I think you should buy the glock if:
You want a ultra reliable weapon (at the possible expense of tight tolerances). If you want a weapon that you draw and pull the trigger and it goes...
i was wondering where I could go hunt some nutria. I keep hearing about how certain parts of Tennessee are overrun with them, but I don't know where to go, as I never hear of any body hunting them.
If Tennessee is no good where close by would be a good nutria hunting destination...
Think I have settled on the .45 convertible blackhawk. I am not thrilled about single action shooting is defensive situations, but I will never have to ask if the .45 colt Ruger only loads are enough for either critter.
And I can practice with .45acp loads and very little cost, and that...
The only way I would is:
You have absolutely no money, and no time to sell your weapon and just buy one like his (and pocket a couple hundred bucks), and you, for some unconceivable reason absolutely had to have some of the super heavy hot .44 loads that are too long for the smith to accept...
this load....

Is pretty impressive. (or at least I thought it was.)
The barrel would be 4.48 inches long.
This was my thought as well, but after comparing ballistics of the 10mm to .45acp+p it didn't seem there was an...
In a topic I started over here: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=627004
I got a lot of replies pointing toward a glock for use as black bear or hog protection while trail riding.
Many of the very helpful members on that thread was touting the 10mm as a great load for the job. I...
Thank you for the reply proven, and several others have made comments very similar to proven's.
I will echo myself by saying I agree it is slim to none, but it is even more unlikely that if I do start to be mauled by a bear that I explain to him how the folks on the gun forum said this...
ForumSurfer those are some great points, will a glock or other polymer pistol stand up to a 600 lb. ATV landing on it or the two hundred and ten pounds of me for that matter (even if my bones do take the blow)?
I have been riding ATV's for quite some time, just in areas where the most dangerous things are copperheads, stray dogs, and coyotes. I have found my self in some thick brush stuck/mud, thinking... I sure glad i'm the apex predator in the area right now. I have also found my self wondering...
I absolutely love smith and wesson revolvers, and personally feel they are the most beautiful DA revolvers ever conceived by man.
However I had a 686+ that split cases and key holed on that cylinder every time (no hand loads, all factory stuff) It went to a gun show and stayed there.
So...
Good point zxcvbob... I guess also it could force you to slow down and pick your shot a little better, rather than the instinctive aiming "spray and pray" situation I picture in my head (all the while evacuating my bowels). What's funny is how extremely unlikely an encounter with either animal...
I love the .44 special. I also love the .45acp. While some people seem to feel more comfortable with 3 or so thousandths of an inch of the .45's frontal area, I feel like neither can really do anything the other can't.
What I don't like about the .44 special is the only small carry...
This question is NOT ment to be taken as me being a smart Aleck. I am truly curious about: are you really comfortable in a defensive situation with a charging 400 pound animal with a weapon you have to cock first? I did briefly look at the convertible .45 blackhawk, but dismissed it as...
Yes I love the glock 21, but picture this: Ive just gotten stuck in a knee deep mud hole, I've reached down in the mud to grab my winch cable, when I hear the roar of angry mother blackbear protecting the cubs I didn't see while trying not to flip my atv. Now I have a substance not unlike axle...
I am going to start trail riding atvs. Some of these trips will be in areas where encountering wild hogs and black bear are a slight possibility. I am not fearful of encounters while riding, as I am pretty certain I can intimidate our perhaps out run either critter on open trail atop an 4...
