Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's in there somewhere. Universe ending consequences might be at stake. It would be equivalent to typing google into Google:

Know what? I couldn't resist doing it to see what happened.

So...

After having plenty of time at work to fondle and dry fire all the Glocks, I have narrowed
it down to the generation 4 G19 or the G26. I like the gen4 because of the new stippling design
and the three interchangeable back straps. With the smallest back strap, it doesn't feel like I'm
holding a brick like with the gen3 models. Also the gen4 comes with three magazines.

I know there has been a recall of the gen4 recoil springs but Glock will promptly send out the
replacement with a simple phone call.

There are a couple of reasons why I want to carry the Glock over my beloved Kimber. The first is
the higher capacity. The second reason, which is the most important to me is that I don't beat up
the Kimber because of the line of work I'm in...(not the gun store job, but my primary job).
..... I wouldn't mind so much abusing the Glock.

Besides, is there a law somewhere that says a feller cain't have a 1911 and a Glock?

I've been looking hard at that one too. It's definitely near the top of the list.

Thanks for all the replies everyone. I'm just as shocked as y'all.

Today at the shop I had plenty of time to handle and dry fire all the models. So far I really like the G36 because it's a .45 and being a single stack mag it fits my hand well. The only downside is the 6 round capacity.

The G30 holds more rounds but is much wider and harder for me to grip.

I'm also looking at the 9mm's but I've always been partial to the legendary .45acp

Out of repect of Mr. Cotton, I prefer not to use the forum to promote or advertise the store.

Hello.

Most of you know I am a fan of the 1911 (that will never change). However, I have started a new job, part-time at a gun store that is an authorized Glock dealer. Part of the job requires me to become very familiar with Glocks and their parts.

One of the first things I had to learn was how to properly and completely strip down a Glock to it's individual components right down to the tiny little springs and rebuild it without any parts left over.

The more I am exposed to this simple yet fascinating firearm, the more I am beginning to appreciate it. I can seriously see myself carrying a Glock soon as my EDC. The only problem is figuring out which one.

P.S. One of the perks of working at a gun store is the ability to open carry. My Kimber is loving it.
