First time with a "full size" gun
Posted: Mon Dec 10, 2012 10:47 am
Well, my father in law helped me get a little early Christmas present. I was able to pickup a brand new Gen 4 Glock 19 with night sights (he paid for the upgrade to night sights). All I had to pay for the package was $430 and he paid the rest!
Previously all I ever carried was a .32 auto pocket gun so switching to something full sized (or close to it) made me a little nervous. I have a supertuck on order but in the meantime I picked up one of those "Sticky" holsters to use for now. First day I was able to carry happened to be Sunday so my second "wally walk" was at Church. So that morning I picked out my largest button up shirt, got the gun the situated, and off we went to Church. At our Church there are no seats or pews, everybody stands (except for some seats around the edges for older people or mothers), why is another discussion, its an "Eastern Orthodox" church which in a nutshell is "Pre-Catholic" church, anyways on to the story... We have our little 10 month old too so I was doing a lot of bending over, picking up the baby, putting him down, and so on. I felt really comfortable the whole time. I am certain the butt may have bulged out a bit when bending over but nobody said anything, I doubt they would ever expect somebody was carrying in there anyways.
Overall I am very happy with just how comfortable it is to carry the glock 19. I was thinking it would be a huge hassle going from something the size of the palm of my hand to the 19. Its not. Can't wait to get the supertuck and the bullbelt in. I imagine it will be even more comfortable at that point.
