Another perfect Glock

I am kind of surprised that this thread degenerated into a discussion about the distance I was shooting from. I was at the range for crying out loud. I agree sixty feet is a kind of long self defense distance, but at the range whats the problem? I figure if I can hit at 60 feet, and can for sure hit at 6.

Probably because we assume each of them is a bit unique. I'd think it odd to own 3 or four Springer GI's just the same as 3 or 4 G19's. Some guns I understand a matched pair, but I've never met anyone with 3 hands
. But to each his own. It's your money That's what we have all those emoticons for; So people don't take you seriously when you're not. There are also ways to articulate sarcasm in plain ol' text, but that was not done, either.
Yea, I know it seems a little strange. I have pretty much owned nearly everything at one time or another, including Sig, Rugers, Berettas, Colts, Kimbers, Springfields, Glocks, S&W's, and Kel Tecs.
So over time I discovered that there were only two that I really liked, and that would be Glocks and 1911s. So I have pretty much streamlined my automatics down to those. I keep one Beretta 92 around because it was given to me as a present. I keep a Ruger LCP around for pocket carry. But all my other autos are either Glocks or 1911s.
This has certain advantages when it comes to logistics. I don't have to worry about scrounging around for the right magazine, for example. If I break a recoil spring or trigger reset spring or whatever, I can grab a spare pretty easy.

Careful.

personal attacks are prohibited. You can disagree with other members, even vehemently, but it must be done in a well-mannered form. Attack the argument, not the arguer.
And, when read in context, is it so difficult to see where one may take a seemingly silly statement at face value?
The 600 yard statement is preceeded with both an example of, and an allusion to the need for, long range pistol shooting.
Why no love for the G17 ?
I think you're messed up or stuck or something.
The G26 should be the backup for your G19 which should be the backup for your G17 which should be the backup for your G34 which should be the backup for your 17L
See how it works?
I think you probably meant to buy a G26 or a G17 but you're like a broken record... you just keep going: 19....19... 19... 19... 19...

Anybody ever used a Glock 18? I believe its full auto if I'm correct.
It's not backup as most people know it. It's more like condition where people can't stop themselves from buying extras of same thing. There were shows where people converted part of their dwelling into supermarket.......10 sticks of deodorant, 1000 rolls of toilet paper,...... I ran across a guy at LGS looking at ole' Winchester 70 .375H&H. I thought it was too much gun for PA hunter and something like .308 would be more suitable. His response was I own 50 Winchesters.

You, your mom, sis, etc, must all be Olympic class sprinters.
A good NFL player can do a 4.4 second 40-yard dash. Not many others can.
The "reasonable man's standard" (if there is one) is the Tueller standard of 21 feet.
Well, if he owned eight, and you stole one, he might not notice...

Hurt? Hardly. That was merely a courteous reminder of the rules here. You may debate with me and others until the cows come home, but your points will remain more valid without direct or ad hominem personal attacks indicating your argument is otherwise weak.
Best of luck to you. I don't think I'd try to charge an armed man from 20 yards, unless I was suicidal. And I'm in pretty good shape.

I'm going to buy a second G19 in the near future to back up my first one. There are two main reasons for this. First, if the first one breaks, I'll have another one to use and not have a different manual of arms to contend with. The second reason is that no matter what the cost is now, buy the time my grandsn is ready for one, the cost will be more. I'll already have him one ready to go.
I too have several 1911's and don't have a thing about owning several guns of the same caliber and model. I have a friend who has 4 Sig 226's. He just likes them. That's OK with me.

Why would that matter? I can promise you that when you get proficient at 20 or 25 or 50 yards you will find that you are amazingle great at the shorter distances, like self defense distances.
I compete at 25 and 50 yards in bullseye with a pistol. Its a good skill.

In this case, Ad Hominem translates to "Thread Closed for unnecessary snark".
