Sound off if you carry a Glock

Glocks are simple in design (that's a good thing), rugged, and reliable. The "hype" is true. I carry the Glock 27. Highly recommended.

I carry a Glock 27 with a 357sig conversion barrel in a Don Hume leather holster. I fell in love with the 357sig round after I purchased my 27, so I added the Storm Lake barrel. I practice with a Lone Wolf 40-9 conversion barrel & G26 mags. I have been know to carry it in that configuration as well using Supreme Elite +p ammo. I'd feel comfortable with either 9mm, 40s&w or 357sig in this gun.
 
I had a second gen 23 with the 3.5 lb connector, AmeriGlo ghost ring night sights, a LaserMax, sandpaper grip tape and a Hogue Handall over the sandpaper. Four high caps (two with +1 extensions). I sure miss it!
 
I carry a GLOCK 23 concealed in a Crossbreed Supertuck holster. My only beef with the Crossbreed Supertuck is that I had to cut off a large portion of the leather with scissors to allow myself a better grip when drawing.
 
G29 with FBI "light" loads for CCW. Full power loads while camping or range shooting. I do use a heavier spring with the full power loads (45 sec switch-over).
 
Considering a glock for my first carry gun. How many of you would choose a glock to be your CCW? What model? I'm not a huge fan of sub-compacts and compacts, I'm looking at the glock 21 and 23. If you dont carry a glock, why is that?

I've carried a gun for about 10 years. IN that time I've had:
Kahr K45
SIG P239
Para .45LDA
Smith 19
Smith 66
and probably a couple of others as well.

Then I got a used Gen2 Glock 17. I've never looked back. The gun is so simple, so darned reliable, so interchangeable with every other G17 out there that I am selling off a lot of my other guns. Mags, holsters, sights easily available all over. Glock armorers are obligated to repair the firearms free if they every puke out. If you lose it to police or theft, so what? You aren't out a fortune and the next one will be just like the one you lost. With a box of bullets in the magazine I don't think I'll run out of ammo anytime soon.

If you want a gun to impress your friends, get a 1911. If you want one to impress the gun shop buy a new SIG. You want one to stake your life on, get a Glock.
My next purchase is a G36 btw.

Last time I had a Glock 17 in my hand I was upside down tumbling through the air. Cleaned, lubed, test fired, but no boom when it counted. Wasn't the ammo. No operator error.
So, what happened?

Note the term "lubed". Probably treated it like a 1911 and poured oil down the firing pin channel, gumming up the firing. May not even have been the poster. Eitehr that or hard primer. But nothing else will make one stop like that.

G27,33,36 for CCW in summer

ANY Glock for winter.

Also Sig220, XD40, XD9


:cool:
 
I carry a G22, and recently got a G21. I doubt I'll ever carry the 21 because the 22 conceals so well.

Glock needs to come out w/ a pocket size 380...missed opportunity by Glock!

What I don't get is why Glock doesn't market the G25 and G28 to the U.S. civilian market. I know they're not exactly "pocket .380's" being that they're the compact and subcompact sizes of Glocks, but still, I think they should be sold in the U.S. for civilian ownership.
