Layton 0 #51 November 28, 2003 i really like mine.i have long fingers so holding it isnt a problem.i did everything to that gun that was done to it in the tests.i put it on a gas stove then used it for a hammer.and i was told that glocks would stovepipe if you shot em upside down.first mag i put in the gun i put in upside down and it didnt have a problem.i figure if h&k is good enough for the navy seals its good enough for me.***if you are going to be stupid you better be tough Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
winsor 236 #52 November 28, 2003 QuoteI own/collect rifles and pistols and love to shoot. Anyone else? At last count I had 132 some-odd rifles, pistols and shotguns (including black powder but excluding air). I load for 6 gauges and maybe 30 metallic centerfire calibers (I rate .38/.357 or 10mm/.40S&W as duplicates), from .25acp to .50 BMG, with at least 9 presses of various description. I guess the answer is a qualified "yes." Blue skies, Winsor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

captainpooby 0 #59 November 30, 2003 OK, I started this. 3 AR15's, 1 AK74(SAR2), Lee Enfield, 590 Mariner, S&W 12 guage (former Alabama DoC), SA loaded 1911. Colt 9mm 1911, G19 (my carry gun), PT111, Berreta Tomcat, Taurus .38 spcl. and 3 AR receivers with enough parts to build two complete rifles. I have built 2 AR15's so far, just need motivation to finish the other three. I need a Garand. I used to be a motorcycle mechanic before I started working full time in skydiving, and guns, to me, are machines, like bikes. Nothing more, nothing less. Beautifully crafted works of art that are fun to shoot as well! Not to mention, they could save my life or someone elses if the need arises. God bless America! Thanks for having me. By the way, nice thing you guys have here, that Constitution thingy and the 2nd amendment. Pretty handy. Molon Labe! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Had a G23c for a while that I got in a deal with a 590. It was a nice gun but I dont like compensators on a carry piece and .40 smith ammo was a little expensive back then so I traded it for a Colt Combat Commander. .40 Glocks have a rep, whether true or not for going kaboom. The arguments rage over why and how on the gun boards.YMMV Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites steve1 5 #67 December 2, 2003 I grew up hunting here in Montana.
