A silly story. Any excuse to buy more guns, even ones I'm only casually interested in
Mine's a G-32.
Purchased to match a factory .40 G-22 barrel that a friend of mine with a hauling business got out of some guy's garage by accident I imagine. It was in a .50-call ammo can full of CLP, cleaning stuff, and an HK P-7 test target.
I said "A .40 Glock barrel! That's worth a hundred bucks at least! I got it for free, so that means a hundred-dollar discount on a brand new switch-barrel gun. Woo-hoo!"
Frustrated with my inability to order a Witness 10 mm, and before the advent of G-29's, I ordered a brand-new G-32 because it was on my list of "order it" guns, albeit down there a ways. I didn't really LIKE Glocks then, but I was frustrated. I told my dealer: "You can get one? Well order the darn thing. I can't get anything ELSE I want, it seems." (I also ordered a S&W 1066 as substitute-standard for the Witness. It showed up before the G-32, and it's a nice gun, but I still want that Witness. But no, not in MY stupid state.)
Now I love it. I put a 3.5# trigger bar in it, and it's a super-plinker. I really like 357 Sig, too. Neat caliber. This gun sold me on wanting a G-29, but I can't afford it until I get a job. (Now, of course, I have to replace My Porsche first. Drat, more delays.
)
All of my guns are plinkers, really. Other than sitting around the house as house-guns, that's all they ever do. I don't carry 'em as I' m a collector with no CCW, and I can't STAND the thought of losing something to confiscation. Even the guns I bought speficallyt as carry guns. Not that I get searched all the time, but I like my guns too much, and they COST. I'm cheap, I don't want to replace 'em.
The sillyest thing is, I still haven't tried the .40 barrel in it yet. And it's gone through 600-ish rounds. So much for the switch-barrel plan!
