Which for carry? - Page 4

Glocks are popular with police because they are made for police depts.Easily repaired,easy upkeep, and most importantly easy to shoot. And for depts cheap, at around 400 a pop.You ever been on firing line with a bunch of capts and majors, at qualifying time of year, watching them trying to work those complicated safety-thing-a-ma-jiggies, much less trying to reload a wheel gun ...... scary , I'll tell ya.especially standing on that line

But kidding aside I've never had any probs. i love both my 21 and 27.But i carry my keltec 380 EVERY where. they all go bang when i need them to.Next purchase will a Kimber warrior.if it's ok with my wife that is.

I've never witnessed a glock have a catastrophic failure, but I've seen countless pictures on many websites of Glocks (in various models of all calibers) have their ends and sides blown out, some injuring their shooters severely. Yeah, I'm sort of anti-glock, so my opinion is quite bias.

If you want a glock, then you should get a glock. The best handgun for you is the one that you will be most confident with.

As for which to conceal, the Model 36 seems like the best carry package out of the ones that you listed.

Yes, Glocks are prone to catastrophic failures when improper ammo is used...it says that in the manual. Use the appropriate ammo and it won't happen. I carry and trust my life to my 27.

Miss-information 101: Most Glocks are single action only. You can not restrike a round without rechambering. There is no exposed hammer, still a SA. HPs are single action as well.

You are correct about the 1911 series however.

DAO, perhaps you are thinking of a Taurus p111.

Perhaps you should rethink the Glock, now that you know that they are not DAO. I am a poet but don't know it.

Without any doubt the Glock 21. Its the ultimate fighting .45 ACP.

I live in CA so I don't know what the word "carry" even means

!! But when I visit my brother in Prescott, AZ I wear my G29; mostly 'cause we do a lot of hiking. Why so many anti-Glockers in the Glock forum???

You should check out OpenCarry.org and forums therein. You'll learn that you're not as restricted in carrying as you might think.

RMTactical · 12-26-2007, 03:05 AM

I have a 27 I carry daily. Love it!

Scoutmaster · 12-31-2007, 04:19 PM

While it would seem by the results of the survey that I'm in the minority, my carry gun is the Mod. 36.

I bought the Glock 23 back in 1992 and carried it for a few years. After the Army and College I purchased a kimber Ultra CDP Elite (All Black) and love it. I have put several thousand rounds through the Glock and only recently had to replace the guide rod/spring when I installed a .357 sig barrel in it and broke the guide rod. That little sig round has some snap to it. The glock is an extremely reliable pistol and can be counted on in any situation. I carry the kimber because it's a little slimer and smaller and being that I live in the desert and it gets hot, it is harder to conceal a bulkier pistol.

I prefer my 1911, or a my rossi snub nose.

tbonecpk · 01-07-2008, 01:50 AM

none. I do not like glock I think a 1911 is a much safer pistol and is more suitable for C&C.

Scouse · 02-05-2008, 06:30 AM

Well... I read every post, WOW! I picked "other" Glock 19 to be exact, carry it every day, shoot a Glock 19 in IDPA, but a Green one.

Had one missfire (White box light primer hit, went second time)

The use of a 9mm to shoot people seems to have this silly following, since the 1920s? with modern Hollow Points, ask a forensic person, what dead body showed any difference in wound channel damage, shot with any serious cartridge in JHP configuration, 9mm/38 Spl./.40/45ACP/.357 not in any order, not got them all I suspect either.

Glock pistols in 9mm have no serious competition in reliability, in the world.

26 w/ Tru-glo's (for when I'm NOT carrying the revolver).

Cleankill47 · 02-17-2008, 10:16 PM

Glock 21. There aren't many bad guys who can argue with 13+1 rounds of .45 ACP. It's actually not that difficult to conceal, I've got a nifty adjustable paddle holster for it that makes it actually pleasant to carry...

Guns&Dobes · 02-19-2008, 10:33 AM

Just purchased my first Glock a couple weeks ago, it's the 26 and I LOVE it. So far my favorite handgun.

Silent Shooter · 02-20-2008, 12:16 PM

Glock 23 with either a .40 or .357 Sig barrel.

GlockMeister · 02-20-2008, 12:40 PM

FYI, I had to go with other. To some it is probably a little on the long side for conceal carry. But it can be carried concealed. So, since I'm biased, I have to say the G35 would be my choice. Again, I know it's on the long side, slide,barrel and total length, but with a Clipdraw installed reversed or how they show it, because it can be installed on either side of the slide, it sits just right on my pant waist in the small of my back. In fact, with the Clipdraw, it fits perfect anywhere on the pant waste line or in a pocket.
But again, I am a little biased.
