[QUOTE="Glock 'em down, post: 1661188, member: 684"] The first time I met Fred Baker, it was the summer of 1991. I was in OAS, with cash in my pocket, planning on buying a Beretta 92F. Fred is working behind the counter talking with another guy when I walk up. He asks if he could help me and I tell him I'm a cop and I want to switch from my old wheelgun to an auto and the Beretta 92F was the one I wanted. He asked me why I wanted a Beretta to which I really couldn't give a good answer. Then I noticed that he had a Glock 19 on his hip. He recommended the Glock for LE use because of it's simplicity and ease of maintenance. I thought to myself, now here's a guy, who owns a gun shop, who has access to ANY pistol in the joint - Berettas, Sigs, S&Ws, Colts, Walthers - you name it, and he chooses to tote a Glock. They must be a good weapon. :idea: That day I bought a Glock 22 and I've carried one ever since. RIP Fred Baker. Thank you for your service and devotion. [/QUOTE]
