Glock:
I several years ago I could only afford one handgun at the time so I must of spend over a year reading reviews, talking to policeman and seeing over and over were Glocks were get top awards and even one time I think in HandGuner magazine were Glocks got the top award for the past 10 years. I wanted a gun that I could count on for personnel defense with the highest ratings for reliability of any gun on the market and I could carry comfortably for 12 hours or more at a time. They do not weight a lot, so they do not fell as if you have been carrying a heavy brick all day, and some days I carry my Glock 23 for 12 hours or more. Glocks come in three sizes in almost every caliber, which is nice to be able to fit many people. Glock have a lot less parts that most guns. I bought the gun for self-defense and like a point and shoot gun. You train the right way and do not have to worry of the safety is on or not; three internal safeties on a Glock.
Also:
I had a Glock 26 for several years and now own a Glock 23. Only took me two days in the newspaper to sale my G-23 which I regret saling it now. I do carry concealed and for years tried to find out the best (for me) method of carrying a gun concealed, most natural draw and somewhat comfortable. I tried the shoulder holster, the outside the waist, the cheep off the shelf holsters, one plastic IWB and I do have the Galco holster. I have sold or given away most of those holsters and will be looking to sale the Galco holster if you read my meaning. You can look a rigrate.com for input and ratings of holsters also.
After going through all these different types of holsters; for concealed carry I totally recommend the line of Milt Sparks Holsters and for concealed the Milt Sparks Vera Max II. Cost around $100.00 to $125.00. No holster is God’s gift to mankind, but I can wear this holster for 12 hours and still feel comfortable. The Milt Sparks VM-II has received some of the highest ratings throughout the varies gun forums. It can be warn different ways.
A holster and a good gun belt is a must. I had a costume made gun-holster belt made for me in Scio, Oregon. The name of the company is A.E Nelson Leather Company
www.nelsonleather.com. I had a piece of spring steel sewn into belt to make it so it will not turn or twist. The total cost of the belt was approximately $50.00 including shipping. In addition, I have never seen any other hand crafted; top quality belt offered for such a good price anywhere.
