Glock Recommendation

[johnkorz]

Hello Everyone:

Can someone provide a recommendation for a Glock full size pistol?   I will appreciate all recommendations from the experts on this forum.  Thanks John

One thing that is helping me short out the Glock models is the Glock 2009 Annual magazine - got mine from a friend but they are on the racks or can order I think. Seeing all the models in one place is helping me narrow down the choices according to how I think I'll use it. Good luck - I'll be watching both our posts.

My Glock recommendation is "Luke, stay away from the dark side".

My primary recommendation would be ,that for the time being, to stay with the 3 most common calibers (9mm, .40, .45 acp). It is usually best to stick with the ammo selections that you are most likely to be able to find. This would be true for other gun makes as well.

There are probably enough 10mm and .357sig pistols out there, that you'll be able to find some ammo for them. There won't be as many choices in ammo and it will be more expensive. Also holds true for all gun makes.

The 40, may be a little snappier to shoot for some that aren't familiar with it. The 45 will carry a few less rounds, but probably carries enough to get the job done. Te 9mm will have the least expensive ammo on the market. It's really a preference thing.

Many of the midsize Glocks do the job of a full-size pretty well. In addition to a full 22, I shoot a 23 and 19 and actually prefer them.

Go to a range where you can rent a GLOCK and shoot all the standard (full size) models, G17 (9mm), G22 (.40) G21 (.45), G31 (.357), G20 (10mm). Which ever one you shoot the best is the one to buy.

Excellent recommendation!  If you are looking for a Glock for competition shooting, try shooting the Glock 34/35 (9mm/.40 S&W), too.

I note that you didn't add any Glocks in 45 GAP. I wouldn't have been surprised if Glock had omitted it from the annual too. I'm glad that we have so many choices, but it seems like a funny time for proprietary rounds right now. I guess the GAP allows people with smaller hands to throw bigger bullets.
