Shandlanos 1,470 Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 I own both a Glock 19 and a Glock 23C. The barrel from the G19 slips right into the slide on the 23C, pop in a G19 magazine and you're ready to go. I've put about 100 rounds of 9mm through my G23 in this configuration, with no FTE or FTF. Evidently the dimensions are close enough, didn't need to fool with the extractor at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ljv308 3 Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 I seriously considered the Glock 31 [357 SIG] as my primary pistol before selecting the S/A XD in 357 SIG.The beauty of the 357 SIG is that it is easily converted to 40 S&W by replacing the barrel and/or recoil spring. This gives you 2 pistols in one.I had rather have a round over penetrate than under penetrate into a target. After all, Is not the reason for a weapon to immediately stop hostile threats? What if you are dealing with someone in several layers of clothing and heavy winter coat? There are lots of factors which affect the ability of a round to penetrate a target.The 40 S&W ammo is a little cheaper than the 357 SIG ammo. I like the idea that a 357 SIG 125 grain round matches the 357 MAG in the 125 grain category. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Raoul_Duke 113 Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 I'm sure the guy has made his decision by now guys! I don't know about that, if I recall correctly that guy had issues . . . Or maybe I'm thinking of someone else . . . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
3ac6ucb 24 Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 So what did he end up getting? Would be interesting to see what solutions NJ CCW holders come up with to deal with the ban on hollowpoint ammo. If I recall correctly, EFMJ and wadcutters are still legal. In a Glock or other automatic I'd probably go for a .45 with EFMJ, but would also seriously consider a .38+p or .44 wheelgun with good old fashioned lead wadcutters.

Gibbles 23 Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 I vote G19 I had been wanting a G19 for a while, but during the big O rush they started showing up with austrian proof marks and stamped with the import marks on the trigger guard... I ran into one of those for $499 at a local store and decided if I'm going to have one I might as well have a military one... I love the pistol, great size, holds 15rds, can also take the G17 17rd mags, and the G19 33rd mags. It also carries well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hollowpoints or not NJ doesnt allow CCW. Ok they do allow but you have to be related to some one realy importent. 99% of people who apply are denied. Jersey is very anti-gun. Even PA cops get arrested if they go to Jersey with a gun while OFF duty. About 10 years ago...maybe a more, there was a huge stink about this. PA off duty cops were getting arrested by NJ cops for carrying guns. Lawyers and unions got involved and the end result was Jersey dropped all charges against all PA cops however a warning that from than on there will be prison time if caught. I dont know how it is ATM or if anything has changed but I doubt it. Good thing I live accros the river in PA. Every 5 years $45 and a week and a half later I have my permit.

MinutemanX 32 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 I'm about 2 paychecks away from a Glock 17. I was wanting to get a CZ SP-01 for the longest time till I found out they have trigger issues. hmmm now... do I go black or OD...? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
slostang 80 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 The best Glock to get is the one that says S&W M&P on it. Werd... I absolutely LOVE my full size M&P .40. Really light recoil for a "big bore" pistol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GREYLUPO 358 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 FMJ? Glock 21 or 30 .45. I carry .45 everyday in a non glock handgun and I use FMJ in the winter for the extra penetration through heavy clothing. And dont forget 9mm and 40 have to expand to even get to size of an fmj .45.

PVT Pablo 25 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 My vote is for the 30. Yes its a "subcompact" but fills my hand very nicely. If you add a +1 mag then you have 11 rounds of .45 in a rather small pistol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Since they stopped making OD frames.......you're most likely going to have to hunt down an OD model if you want it, and don't be surprised if it's priced more than a black version of the same model.
