OK guys, I've had it since Tuesday this week, but I've been putting of announcing my latest purchase until I got it to the range and put a box of ammo through it...
It's not another Para.
It's not a new wheelgun (but that will come soon, too).
It's not a Sig (Hey, I can afford a new gun, but not a Sig--I'm a Grad Student...)
Not the FN-FAL I've been dreaming of (although I've been eyeballing a CETME M-58 at a local shop lately...)
You'll never guess...
Wait for it...... Wait for it......
I got a brand-new Glock 36.
The end times are certainly here, folks...
I think I'm the only person on the planet who's 1911 has TWICE the capacity of his Glock. :lol:
I have to admit, I like this Glock. The trigger is taking some getting used to, but it is fast, accurate, and a BREEZE to clean. Plus it's a lot lighter and considerably smaller than the Para. I've put Pearce +1 floorplates on the mags though--the stock floorplates make this gun nearly impossible to hold onto. It's AMAZING what a difference the Pearce extended buttpads make. The slight increase in butt length is a completely acceptable trade-off for the added comfort and control. Plus, getting an extra round doesn't hurt!
I still consider my Para to be my "pride and joy", but I think this Glock may very well become my "everyday carry gun". It's DEFINITELY easier to CC, and in a Serpa, this thing presents ASTOUNDINGLY quickly. I went with the Serpa CQC because I already know that retention system and have the trigger finger placement down pat from using it for 2 years with my Para. I've done about 200 presentations at home (unloaded, of course) and I think the Glock/Serpa combination is nearly ideal as far as holsters go. I can't see why anyone would settle for anything less for OC. The Serpa is fast, secure, and it matches the aesthetics of the Glock very well.
Anyway, I'll be adding this new pistol to the mix at the big NC Range Day next weekend.
So come one, come all, and see Dreamer shoot (and maybe even admit that he likes) his new Glock... :idea:
