Glock 19 - The Lifetime Gun

Alrighty, now it's time to talk about the Glock 19.  I currently own one (yay!) and I have to say it's a great gun.  Period, hard stop... great gun.

Here's what it looks like:



It's a striker fired semi-automatic pistol that is recognized the world over as the most reliable pistol, ever.  Glock makes the same basic pistol in a variety of calibers, however, the G-19 is a 9mm pistol.

There are about 4 million posts, reviews, etc out there on these guns and what most people will tell you is this: Accuracy, excellent, Durability, Excellent, Reliability, Excellent, Price not bad.  

What I will say is this, however, it isn't a fun gun to carry.  It's heavy, bulky, and just meh, to carry.  It is possible I don't have the right holster as of yet, which is probably true. However, my initial impression is that it's a bulky pistol to conceal, but if I knew I was heading in to a fire fight... I'd bring this one along.  It's 15- 33 rounds (depending on the magazine) of 9mm in a gun that doesn't jam and doesn't fail...ever.

I have literally seen parts fly out of one of these while under a stress test and it still kept firing.  Keep in mind this was a 10,000 round test... 10,000 rounds and this was going through a gun that already had maybe 100,000 rounds through it.

The bottom line is this, get one.  Just go out and get one.  You may carry it you may not, but at the end of the day you'll have a gun that will not let you down when you need it.  Keep it in the house, in your truck, wherever it is you feel you may need it.

A good buy, no matter what the intended use.

Thanks and stay safe out there.
