Go to your local bowling alley, ask them if they have pins they are gonna throw away, you get them for free. Make a saw-horse, bolt pins to a hinge, run cross bar against the back of the pins, attach lever to end of cross bar with rope.Should come with a set of bowling pins.GLOCK 40 Gen4 MOS
The G40 Gen4 in MOS Configuration is chambered in 10 mm Auto and combines a long slide and barrel for improved velocity with a high magazine capacity.us.glock.com
My striker trigger on my HK VP9 SK is really smooth ! Much better than the G19's !!!My favorite is/was a HK VP9 striker trigger.
Name two !!!!Just the sound of the racking of the G19 slide can impregnate vestial virgins.
Bicep curling a handle of Berkshire Brewing Company is a surprising workout.Because the 17 is too big for NES members and their fragile wrists.
Remember the most workout most people get around here are bicep curls of chicken wings and beer.
I replace triggers in almost all my guns so if a gun has a piece of sh*t trigger (like a SP 2022 or a 22/45) I don't mind saying it.
not supported? i'm thinking you're not quite sure what that means. the unsupported case head issue with the then new 40 s&w was rectified 30+ years ago. my g20 certainly shows no sign of it. not calling you out mr. rivr1, respectfully, you may be confusing something else with "unsupported." or i am.... have no fear shooting your 20. i pound full house 10mm loads through mine regularly. still a tight gun. full disclosure, i did buy a replacement barrel to take full advantage of lead reloads but that's just a rifling issue.I have a G20 in 10mm and before I bought it I read a few posts about it being too powerful for the “unsupported” slide/frame set up. Not my experience but a lot of talk about it right or wrong.
I really don't drink, but if I did, I sure as shit would not be drinking anything whos company logo is BBC.Bicep curling a handle of Berkshire Brewing Company is a surprising workout.
My G19 is my favorite gun I never shoot. It’s the classic “Jack of all trades, master of none” gun.So full disclosure, I own a G19 and it’s a decent handgun. But I’m not getting all the hype here for it. What am I missing?
Just looked. There are 5 of them for sale in the classifieds. Some are demanding a pretty penny for them.
It’s just a Big Brown Container. lolI really don't drink, but if I did, I sure as shit would not be drinking anything whos company logo is BBC.
I'm funny like that.
this is like talking to a blind man about the color of the sunset.Interesting.
I found the Glock Gen 5 trigger to be fine.
It is not USPSA ready, but it isn't the garbage everyone talks about.

It’s a base model pickup.The G19 is the #1 sold handgun in the world. Ultimate symbol of no frills utilitarianism.
I'm going to have to challenge you on your math there...If I could only have one gun it would definitely be my Sig Tacops 1911 and my Glock45 MOS.
I love that gun.
no, that gun math pencils out. 2 is 1 and 1 is none.I'm going to have to challenge you on your math there...
Close !!!!!It’s just a Big Brown Container. lol
One thing that stands out to me is that almost everyone I know that owns a Glock, that actually shoots the thing, modifies it in some way.
Show me a Glock with a factory trigger, sights and mag release and I will show you someone that doesn't shoot very often.
Very much like the M&P/ Shield guys. "Once I got a new trigger, it became my favorite gun."
So it begs the question, why doesn't Glock just make the gun with a decent trigger? I mean, the guys at Glock must hear all of the same things we do.
If the guy behind the counter handed John Wick a factory Glock out of the box, he would have said, "Nope"
Glocks, AR's, cars, motorcycles, I could go on the list of things that get modded. I have a list of mods for my Glocks that are for increased shootability like fiber/tritium sights, improved trigger, steel recoil rod, etc, then I have mods that are mostly cosmetic because I don't know any guy who can just leave shit stock...One thing that stands out to me is that almost everyone I know that owns a Glock, that actually shoots the thing, modifies it in some way.

You are going to the wrong gun shopsThe only reason they're popular here is because you can't have them. Or at least you can't go buy them new from a gun shop.
Same reason BMWs are considered exquisite here. You go over to Europe and they're looked at it like Toyota Camrys. They use them for taxi cabs over there, run of the middle cookie cutter stuff...... just like the Glock.
The scarcity is what drives the novelty.
There you goIt's a Glock thing, you wouldn't understand.
The Kalishnikov of pistols.I've ended up with a bunch of Glocks at this point and I'm about to buy my second G19.
- Utterly reliable. I went to a two day class and it rained almost the entire time. After the first day some guys rushed home to clean and lube their guns; some swapped guns entirely; I just put my Glock in the bag wet, took it out the next morning, and shot the second day without a hiccup.
- Huge aftermarket. Ran into this with my Masada - great gun but virtually impossible to find parts for. This isn't an issue with Glock.
- I love that Glocks come in various sizes and calibers but they all feel the same - same grip angle, same ergonomics, same triggers (more or less), etc. It makes life so easy when all my guns function and point the same, from competition to home defense to carry. This even applies across generations. Huge selling point for me, especially as I'm getting into red dots.
- Glocks are very safe, more so than even the popular P365.
You know how there are people out there regardless whether they have $$$ or not, they have to have the "latest and the greatest". Well, it's similar, they want it because the State says they cannot have one and they feel they "beat the system" because they found a way to have one. Besides, you can't beat reliability.So full disclosure, I own a G19 and it’s a decent handgun. But I’m not getting all the hype here for it. What am I missing?

Yes, they are on the roster. But the big print giveth and the small print taketh away. Quoting:It's crazy how many people think that Glocks aren't on the roster.

Personally, I'd take a FN509M or a SA XDM Elite over a Glock.
PSA dagger is on my list to try. The reviews seem overwhelming positive.hello folks,i'm in florida. soon to be back in mass (ugh). i see the glocks in mass. selling for about the same as florida. i understood thw thing about mags. was how old the mags are, not the gun >> for the glock lovers, try giving the psa daggers a try. i'v had a half a dozen or so. i buy the bbls on sale and the complete frames on sale. so for about $350 i have a same-same glock 19 for half the price. they shoot very good,dec3ent triggers. just my 2 cents...`
