If I was in some theoretical universe where I could only have one pistol, I guess I would want whichever one I could theoretically get the most ammo for. And if they stuck me in a theoretical universe that only had glocks, I would shoot my way to the nearest f-ing wormhole asap. now rufus, you know you don't think that way, with the heat in arizona those steel guns get so hot you can't handle them, that's why glocks rule.

George He's sleeping. Jammed a Benadryl down his throat and took him to the vet. They shot him up with antibiotics and steroids. He should pull through ok. He just ate a few minutes ago, just a bunch of swelling in his foot/leg.

After handling, shooting and carrying a 30S a bit, I am inclined to agree. My duty and personal handguns are all 45's, save one Ruger LCP and a couple of 22's. 'Serious use' falls to a grip-modded G30 or whatever 1911 I'm in love with for the moment. If you put me on the spot, I'd keep the damned Glock.

He just ate a few minutes ago, just a bunch of swelling in his foot/leg. I do not like a [bleep] snake. I kilt one yesterday with the Cub Cadet. This spring my daughter was out jogging in our back pasture and got struck by one. A small rattler. Didn't break the skin. Probably a Masaugua. Years ago my wife's Poodle got bit. He just kept staggering around and drinking water and finally came out of it. She was a little kid and her mom didn't drive. Her dad was gone so there was not much to do out in the sticks. I despise a damned snake. I think we kilt eleven one year, all Masaugua's, just baling one meadow. Controlled burning is hard on the [bleep]. I'm glad your dog is okay.

thought about this one for awhile. If for some obscure reason, I just HAD to pick one for SD, it would by my old series 70 Commander. IMHO You win on style points If everyday was a Bar B Q my nickle series 70 would also be the one I have fought being a Glockboy for years but the more you play with them the more you understand its quite a tool no question I am just in love with my 17L Hank

You cannot be 'in love' with a Glock. That's like admitting you took a blow-up doll to Cancun on your honeymoon.

I'm partial to my Glock 17. But, I've been mulling the idea of chopping the grip to G19 length. Reason? Not much different length. The part that mainly prints on a Glock, assuming a good IWB holster, is the back of the slide anyway, and a switch to a 19 won't change that any. As for slide length, in an IWB it makes no difference. Might as well keep the slightly better handling characteristics of the 17, I say.

I've tried - twice - and can't really warm up to Glocks. So if I was allowed only one, and it was mostly an urban-type environment, then I'd pick a 9mm that had the weight and capacity of a Glock, but works better: But throw in critters and fewer people, a 1911 would probably be the choice, either in 10mm or .45. If big critters were the issue, and people only a rare threat, then a large magnum revolver, like say a 44 mag S&W 629.

The Glock 19 has been surpassed by the G43 imho. If I was going to limit myself to so few rounds at the ready, I'd go with a revolver over a Glock.

I have a 43 and a 19's and a 17 and a 42...a sharp dressed man has to have a watch and a glock for every occasion. Working on a 26 to complete my collection.
I guess beauty too me is in the function and capability of the device in my hands, I don't warm up to nothing anyway.
