I used to be that way, but I got over itMorne wrote:But it is a Glock. I just don’t do Glock.Whirlwind06 wrote:You can get a conversion barrel for a Glock 42.
There is your modern, 9x18 with a polymer frame.
I had a Glock 19 and 21 years ago, they were meh to me.
Then during the Obama years I was pretty much all revolvers.
I picked up a Glock 42 last year, wanting a .380 that I will actually shoot more then a couple mags though at a time.
It's really a nice little gun. I now have more then a few Glocks, easy to work on, crazy after market support.

As a result of this thread, and seeing one perform, I have a G48 ordered. Back in the fold?

Yeah the 48, 43X and 43 are pretty nice.

Four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, ammo - use in that order.
If you aren't part of the solution, then you obviously weren't properly dissolved.

Was eliminated very early in this competition. Cool name, tho.
I'm going to name my new Glock "belchfire 9 maxi-compact".

Re: Need a new small-ish 9mm, which one?
I have the Shield EZ 9mm
It's the performance center model, very nice trigger
and compensated barrel
don't really like the grip safety, but I'm getting used to it
I have peripheral neuropathy in my hands and it's
easy to work the slide and load the magazines
I love it

Re: Need a new small-ish 9mm, which one?
Morne:
Picked up an EZ9 the other week. A smidge heavy, but the recoil spring is lighter, and while I'm not a 9mm favorer, I expect it'd be adequate. Very tight chamber - doesn't like "dirty" cases much - but it's fairly easy to deal with that.
The only real downer, besides being 9mm ( ), is that it's more or less the same size as an old M&P 4C I have here, and the 4C is a tad snappier, and maybe the 4C's closer to my "everything should start with a "4" view. I have a .40 Shield. Nasty.... But easy to carry.
Regards,

I continue to like the Walther PPS. Very thin for concealed carry purposes, great shooting balance, capable of extending the grip with an extended magazine. Great all around shooter and carrier.
