Title: My Glocks are reproducing
Post by: garand4life on February 12, 2011, 01:51:25 PM
Just got a new G21 yesterday. My doctor is calling it FQ syndrome... other symptoms include supporting liberals and hanging out on this forum all day.... just kidding. But I am starting to get attached to the black plastic from Austria. Loaded it up with Hornady Critical Defense and we shall see how it goes. A nice counter balance for my OD G17.

Glad you are getting new guns ... even Glocks  ;)

I really don't have anything against them.  I have handled them, but I have never owned one or even shot one.  Just never got me all hot and bothered.

Enjoy!

When I bought my second one, (G27 then G23), the store owner said "just about everyone who buys one ends up owning all 3 sizes."
So far I have resisted buying a G22.  It hasn't been easy.

Congratulations.   Any new purchase is good.

I'm having the same problem with my S&W revolvers.  I was just inducted into the S&W-Revolver-a-month club.

I think there's a 625 in 45 Colt about to be hatched.

Garand4life, first, congrat's on the new purchase. Second, did you get the Gen 4 version or a Gen 3? Love my G21SF and G30SF and using .45 ACP. They actually recoil less than my G22 or at least it feels that way.

Look forward to hearing a range report. Take care

3rd gen. I should have mentioned that. I like the feel better than the 4th gen guns I've seen. Granted I haven't seen a 4g 21 yet.

Sweet. I have not checked out the Gen 4 G21 yet but figure that it is similar to my G21SF with the exception of the grip and recoil spring. I have the newer spring on my G30SF and the action is really smooth.

Congrats on the new family member.  There's nothing wrong with letting your Glocks do the natural thing and reproduce.

My 19 got a 26 to play with back in November.  I really don't want a 17, but a 20 would be nice.

Garand, I envy you. I keep my G19 and G26 together in a drawer and nothing has happened yet. Maybe if I play some Barry White or show them mating flicks from the Discovery channel? ;D I guess I'll just have to go out and buy a G30. Congrats on your new toy.

I should have mentioned earlier that it's one of the G21SFs. I love it! And what's most amazing is that it carries just as well as any of my M&Ps or my G17 in my Crossbreed. I can understand why most would not prefer to carry it, for it's size but I love it now. Come summer, not so much, I can imagine.

My 3g G21 is a very accurate, solid, reliable,..well Glock. However, while residing in the strong box with my M+P and others, I ended up with a baby brother to my full size M+P 40, with a M+P 40c. ::)

Next thing you know you'll find yourself with one of those 27rd. mags.... ;)

Congratulations!!!

It is the railroad tie with a trigger, and one certainly has enough heft and steel in the upper to beat the tar out of any zombies.... ;D

I have a 33rd for my 17 so without a doubt I want a few of those 27 rounders. When you guys who ordered them get them let me know if they are up to muster.

I got my second G26, a Gen 4, this week. Shot it today at the range while my daughter shot her P22. The old one will now become my training gun.

I posted a brief review of my G21 27rd.  mags, last range trip. They are a bear to load after 18 rds. but they work. Still  Only $20.00.

Short & Sweet, outside of loading them to capacity, there were NO issues. The G21 wanted nothing but more, and laid waste to water jugs and produce. 8)
