I shot a Glock and I liked it ...

I posted this last on Saturday - but it was buried in another thread of a different topic. I thought it might deserve a life of its own:

I gotta say to all you Glock fan boys out there - it was pretty nice. It was nice, confident, solid shooting, the rounds went right where I was aiming. In fact, my group was in the red and a bit tighter than the LEO's. I felt a little guilty

- but he just said "good eye" or something like that.
It was Saturday afternoon at Marksman Indoor Range in South Houston. I did like it. I don't think I'm ready for a Glock to be me carry weapon or anything. A little too big and I think I would prefer the opposing passive safety's (trigger and grip) of the Springfield XD. But firing it was certainly satisfying ...

Good deal, i have 2 glocks a G33 and a G19 and really like them.They have never had a malfunction.
My carry guns though now are between a LCP and a Kimber Ultra Carry 45acp,i switch around which one go's with me; but i ordered a
Kahr PM9 9mm today to use as well. What is your current carry gun?

Terry, we have a Celebrate Recovery ministry at our church for people who are in rebellion against God's will for our lives.
You can reenter into a state grace however by simply purchasing a 1911.

Glad you liked it! The G22 is the .40 full sized model. They are great guns and are a pleasure to shoot. It is okay to own 1911's, revolvers, and even a Glock or two at the same time. I've got 'em all and have come to appreciate the Glock for what it is. It's a reliable, accurate, and very durable pistol (even if I didn't want to believe it at first

)
I got my first G19, just to see what the hype was all about. Now I own 6 of 'em
Give the RTF2 (Rough Textured Frame version 2)a try and see how you like it. The grip feels a lot different than the standard Glock grip.
XD's are good pistols and are worth looking into, as well as the M&P line from S&W.
Please note that Glock's and Glock knockoffs are just as addictive as any other pistol. Consider yourself warned...

Pretty strong words there from a closet Glock owner!

And what do the Desert Fathers have to say about Glocks?

Yeah, I shot one once too.
I was surprised at how little damage was done with the first hit (just a small chunk out of the grip). My second shot messed up the slide pretty good though.
And.........."I liked it".

I am carrying a Tomcat until I figure out which one it will be.

I do have a 1911 - I just don't carry it. Does that count?

I don't know. Depends on where you're at. Just yesterday my pastor preached on the difference between confession and repentance.
Say three John Moses Brownings and two Kimbers, and all will be forgiven.
