Glock Pics

[backwoodzboy]

I have owned my first Glock for about a year now. I sold an extra rifle I had at a gunshow and the gentleman that bought it from me at a couple of Glocks on the table. I decided to buy from him and picked up a G23. It looked like it was new, but informed me it was slightly used, I looked it over and decided to go with it. I was not to excited about the fact it was chambered in .40s&w, but decided it would be fine. With a little practice I am not too shabby with it. A friend of mine bought himself a SA XDM in .40 and brought it to the range and we compared them, he likes his Springfield just fine, I think there are too many gizmos on it. I joke around with himand tell him Glock is an Austrian word that means perfection, lol!!!! Anyway, I am buying a plug for my Glock, and would like to see pics of Glock with or without plugs. Most of the pics I see just show a close up of the Glock plug, and I just want to see pics showing the overall profile. Soo lets see them Glocks!!!!

I assume you mean the butt plugs? Excuse the poor picture quality...

 

[backwoodzboy]

who makes your "butt plug" on the lower glock?

One of the plugs I am getting is made by them, I also ordered a slug plug but I ordered the wrong one so I might be sending that one back, it is for a mini glock.

Why use those plugs? The opening in the Glock grip is there for a reason and its not for letting dirt in...(which is BS anyway)
Look up "condition three failure"

 

[backwoodzboy]

The hole is there for a but-stock attachment, wich I think is not available here in the US. I really don't think dirt getting there would be a problem, but it sure looks good

No you can have and own and buy a stock attachment but you attach it to a Glock you must register it as a SBR (short barreled rifle) and pay the appropriate stamp tax and fill out the proper paperwork with BATF.

Also I don't think that the hole was there for a butt stock attachment at the beginning but was adapted for that use later by secondary companies. As far as I know Glock never made a butt stock for the G18.

I have heard of a couple of ideas over the years for why its there.

I have read and heard that it was for letting dirt or water or mud out of the gun.

I have also read and heard it was designed for gloved shooters to reach up and remove the original magazines which were non drop free on the original Glock 17's and or P80's. Made non drop free in order for a partially full mag and thus heavier mag, not to be dropped and lost in the snows of Austria. The space gives a little more room for getting a good grip on the mag.

I have also heard that it is required by the machines that inject the polymer that a metal rod holds the frame until cooled.

In 20+ years of Glocking I have never had any issues with the opening and I suspect very few others have either.

Looks like a way to injection mold the frame keeping weight to a minumum. For the factory to add a cover, just increases, cost, weight and part count. Buy the cover, and hide your super secret spy notes. or waterproof matches???????????
I do think the open hole does look, kind of "unfinished" So I can see why one might want to fill it in.

Not a great pic but G21 SF (rear) and G23 (front) (that's an 870 tactical with knox stock right and my Spyderco Tenacious right) "Tactical nightstand refreshment" by Deer Park-LOL The 21 SF is getting a TLR1 light for nightstand duty ASAP

"Tactical nightstand refreshment

HAHA! if nobody else thinks it was funny, i did.

i don't have any pics of mine. G17 and G23, but the 23 looks just like yours backwoodz, and the G17 is the same generation and same texture just longer in the grip and slide.

 

[Cocked & Locked]

Both "plugged" but not visible in the pics

 

[jkulysses]

I really want a glock 27. I think it will have to be my next handgun. My ruger p90 is just a little ridiculous to carry during the summer months.

I joke around with him and tell him Glock is an Austrian word that means perfection

It actually means "bell" in German. Like the instrument "Glockenspiel" which is translated in English as the "bell piano". Mozart (a fellow Austrian) makes extensive use of the Glockenspiel in the Magic Flute. Granted, that opera would have been over quite quickly if either of the protagonists were equipped with a Glock instead of bells and a flute.

 

[backwoodzboy]

ya, now your talkin' now is that kinda like, I'm gonna ring your bell? or no wait my Glock is gonna ring your head, oh crud nevermind anyway.
