In a quandary

[alfsauve]

I think I need to find a 12 step program for my Glockahalizim.

Don't waste money on a "program", spend it on more Glocks.  Duh.


You're one of those guys I see at the GSSF matches with 6 or 7 guns and shoot in 7 divisions.  They had to create special shooting bays for you guys.  I'm just a pitiful 2 division shooter with one gun.

don't need no stinking forty five...I switched to the Glock platform after a link failure at the Ft Benning 3 gun match in 2006....164# of cleaned 9mm brass (~13,000 pcs)

Well, Alfsauve................... I just came home with a G-21 gen 4.
You never told me when I turned to the dark side this would become obsessive.
At least I haven't start messing with the .357 sig cartridge yet.


Have you ever tried the 10mm ?   It is totally awesome.

[Conagher 45]

I shoot Guardian and now will be shooting Heavy Metal.

Fortunately, I've been able to resist despite the cookies.   I sold my G34, I couldn't shoot it worth beans, and only have the G17.   Primarily I own it so I can shoot GSSF.  I've discovered that to do good in their competition I only need to shoot one gun.  Shooting multiple platforms messes me up.   I've scored higher since I sold the G34.   So unless I achieve Master status (unlikely) I'll just keep shooting the one G17.   I thought about buying an extra for backup at a match. But Glock will repair any breakdown for free at the match and GSSF will let you "do over" for gun malfunction, so there's no need.

I get it that a 10mm gives you both capacity and power in one package, I just never got turned on to it.  When I get that need-for-power, I just take out my .44 Mag these days.

Ummm, 10mm!
I'm frustrated by the fact I've never managed to find one to try.
 I thin Bullet slightly smaller than .45 acp traveling faster than a .357 would make an excellent "do it all" pistol.

Tom I'll sell you a Bren Ten for $2,500.  Just to remove you from your quandary.

It's the girls fault!!  She got a Glock 17 after trying a bunch of pistols for competition (gen 4). I tried it out and liked it well enough to get a 34 gen4. Have done a ton of shooting that gun in the last year in 3Gun and found that it seems to work well for me. Actually thinking about getting a 41 now too. I have been shooting 9mm almost exclusively for the last few years.  I started looking at components to reload 45 and went wow!!  Sticker shock!!  You would think I did not shoot 1911's for decades...  Of course when shooting 45 I was casting my own, and now looking to buy them...

The 10mm is the same diameter as the 40S&W

.40S&W is just a down loaded 10 mm. Because 10 mm had to much recoil for FBI.
That's why they call it "short and weak".
