[QUOTE="Glock 'em down, post: 1317795, member: 684"] Well we went to re-qualify on the pistol range this past Saturday. I had my good ol' handy, dandy 2nd gen Glock 22, and I did something that I've never done before... [B][SIZE="4"]I shot a 100!!! [/SIZE][/B]:woohoo1: So. That's got me thinking :idea: that [I]maybe[/I] I need to let go of the old and reach out for the new for my off duty/CCW weapon as well and make it a Glock too. Currently, I usually carry a good ol' wheelgun off duty since my 2nd gen G22 is a department issue. If I had to use it in a situation other than work, I feel like I could suffer some big time problems using an "official" state owned weapon for "UN-official" business...such as off-duty use. I dunno. :ugh2: Regardless, in order to keep such hypothetical situations to a minimum, I simply choose not to carry the dept. issue Glock off duty. Therefore, since I did so well at the range with a Glock, I think I'll buy another for my off-duty/CCW weapon and sadly, turn loose of my good ol' sixgun that I usually carry. :cry3: Right now, I'm currently kicking around the idea of either an [B]A)[/B] used 3rd gen Glock 22...or [B]B)[/B] a used 2nd gen Glock 23...or [B]C)[/B] a [B]BRAND NEW [/B][B][SIZE="4"][COLOR="Olive"]OD Green [/COLOR][/SIZE][/B]Glock 37. All three guns are about the same price ($400) so that's not an issue. What is is the holster and ammo differences. I have plenty of .40 S&W ammo and G22 holsters, so the 3rd gen G22 sounds like the logical choice. But...I really like the smaller size of the G23 and it being a 2nd gen model is a nice touch too. But I would hafta buy some G23 holster(s). Oh sure, I could use G22 holsters and just ignore the half inch of space at the bottom...I guess. :grumble: But...everybody knows me and [B][SIZE="4"][COLOR="olive"]OD Green [/COLOR][/SIZE][/B]:rolleyes2 and I've always said that if I had the extra scratch, I would buy a Glock 37 simply because the gun was conceived and developed by my good pals at Glock, INC. :bowdown: The ammo thing with the .45 GAP won't be that big of an issue, because Bud's has Winchester 185gr Silvertips for $40 for a 50 round box. That's about as cheap as any other caliber for 50 rounds. My local dealer also has hardball/shoot 'em up stuff (Lawman brand) for $17/50 round box. So the ammo thingie that most find fault with as far as the .45 GAP is concerned is GTG. So what say you OSA? Which Glock should I get? Your comments please. :D :thanku: [/QUOTE]
