Little Glocks

[jbirds1210]

As always......thank you for the feedback and helping me make my decision. I believe I will stick with the 9mm. At what point does owning a single caliber in several different versions (the baby glock will be five 9mm for me) meet the definition of obsessive? After the TSRA show this weekend..I would love to shoot with some of your guys that are local! I must get out to PSC!!
Thanks again for the feedback, this forum is tops!

What? No suggestion for the 29? Come on - get the 10mm. It is 1 more mm than the 9mm and more is better, right?

While were on the subject of of baby glocks, I have a question on ammo.
I own a 26 myself, I'm very satisfied with it too! I was thinking about ordering a box of cor-bon ammo, for when I'm carrying. I noticed 3 differnt grains, could some of you tell me what would be the best for personal protection?? Thanks in advance for your help.

You really don't want to ask this of a military collector.

I'm a lightweight when it comes to collections, but even I have six Lee-Enfield rifles, in two models. I know people with dozens of variations of a single rifle, like M1 Garands or Mosin-Nagant M91/30s.

It's not obsessive until you have to buy a conex.

Does anyone have any idea what's behind the Glock numbering scheme? Or is there even a scheme? Is it just random?

It has to do with the order in which Gaston Glock received his patents.

I haven't seen it mentioned in this thread but I will throw it in here anyhow. I have talked to several guys that shoot the baby Glocks and they shot them just as accuratley as they do the mid size and full size models.

My vote would be for the G26 also. Recoil is easier to manage.

Under circumstances stated, another +1 on the 26.

But, to me anyway, there ain't no such animal as a "Little Glock". There are some that are smaller than others, but they are all still "bricky" compared to designs like the Kahrs. And yea, I've carried 'em all, including the "Slimline" Model 36 - just a single stack "brick"!

What do the model numbers mean?
The first Glock was named 17 because it was Gaston Glocks 17th patent. The rest are named in order of introduction. (Except the G22 & G23 which were released before the G20 & G21.)

I found this here about halfway down the page: http://www.glockfaq.com/models.htm

I did some quick searching and that is all that I came up with, I have read this several different times on different fourms. Hopefully I didn't lead you astry without haveing the absolute facts from Glock.

I've pondered making myself a "tube" range by putting a small shed at one end of the yard, a backstop at the other, and connect 'em with drain culvert.

I figure the price of tinhorn makes that unlikely, though. Anybody got a brother in law on the road crew?

Corrogated metal "tinhorns" are actually not all that expensive.

Methinks what's actually a better product is the big pre-cast concrete pipes. Heck, they even make 'em in interlocking "cubes", roughly 8 X 8 X 8. Ya just need to figure out a way to get 'em delivered and installed without The Wife knowing what they cost.
