Well, yes, that is the most logical and obvious reason for the 19X to exist. But I still want to make fun of it.

And yet, here all you guys are talking about it. It worked.

No but I've been down it a few times...

Oh, most certainly.

I really think that they thought they would win the contract hands down, despite not meeting all criteria, and started production. Then when they lost, realized they had to dump some pistols. Thus the 19X was born. Then again maybe we'll see separate slides available with longer dust covers to convert to a 17 on the 19 front.

The r Ruger mkii I got when Dad passed. Nothing new or fancy but it means the most to me and always will. Thanks again Dad! I love the gun but would give them all away today to have Dad back.

Don't worry. The great service and selection you're used to at Cabela's will soon be replaced with 85% Redhead products priced like North Face products, with the occasional rare sighting of an indifferent person with a name tag who kind of works there.

It's so cold I saw a Democrat with his hands in his own pocket

Glock seems to have hired some of the product development people that Ruger could no longer afford to keep on retainer. The folks who have made a living dreaming up crap no one wants or needs instead of designing the products everyone keeps asking for. Like a single-stack Glock 19 sized handgun, or a Glock carbine.

Withdrawing

Thought yes...decided I want my ugly mug on video...not yet... Plus it takes a lot to get noticed over all the other channels. Right now I am just fighting to get my site seen at all.

Anyone got any interesting items you edc or keep in your bag that does not make it onto the internet full of bug out bag lists?

Oscar Wilde: The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.

This is easy for me! If there is any type of sign of any type that refers to any type of firearms restriction on the premises I just take my business elsewhere, except in goverment buildings that I am required to go in for legal business and then my gun is locked in my vehicle out of sight. I just don't feel right giving someone my money that does not believe like I do when I have other options................

It really seems like a designer at Glock was staring at their drafting table, picked up a small drafting square, pondered it intently, and two hours later suddenly said "What if we made a gun where the slide and the grip were the exact same length?!" and it, like, totally blew his mind.

In my opinion this is the perfect pistol to combine with a threaded barrel, the reason I am buying one

I am late to this party but here is my idea of 'common sense gun laws' for a free people whose country is supposedly built on the ideals of liberty: 1. Any citizen or legal resident alien with no criminal record can legally purchase any firearm he or she wants. With exceptions for heinous crimes such as murder or violent rape (in which case the person in question should be in prison, not standing in a gun store) those with a criminal history, even a felony, can have full gun ownership rights restored once a] their debt to society has been paid and b] subsequent to paying their debt to society a period of no less than ten years without any criminal activity has passed. 2. No firearm shall be used to shoot anyone else unless the party on the receiving end of the shooting commits an act or acts which justify said shooting 3. No firearm shall be used to commit a robbery or in conjunction with any other criminal act 4. Violation of 2 and/or 3 will result in a world of hurt Yes, #1 means that potentially dangerous people can purchase firearms. However, in a free society the trade off for freedom and liberty is that a person cannot be made to suffer consequences of actions that he or she might (or might not) take but has not, in fact, taken. Being free isn't always necessarily safe. Laws cannot prevent crimes. Placing general restrictions on gun rights in an attempt to prevent crimes merely punishes those who would not have committed a crime in the first place. We don't need more laws - or ANY laws, for that mater - to curb the rights of the law abiding. What we need are consequences that will fall like a ton of bricks upon the heads of people who use guns in a criminal manner rather than a slap on the wrist and a, "Now, sonny, don't do it, again." As for mass killing events, the answer to how to stop them is that we can't. Look at other countries where guns are restricted - they use knives: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-26402367 29 dead, 130 injured and the only people shot were some of the attackers. Heck, even in areas of this country where firearms are more restricted - they use vehicles: http://www.cnn.com/2017/10/31/us/new-york-shots-fired/index.html or even pressure cookers: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/boston-marathon-bomb-devices-made-pressure-cookers-filled-nails-ball-bearings-report-article-1.1318278 I mention this often but the worst school massacre in the history of the United States was carried out by a lone individual who didn't need a gun to do it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bath_School_disaster No law will stop crazy and no consequence - preemptive or otherwise - will stop someone who is willing to die, or who maybe even wants to die, from carrying out an attack. It is just that simple.

Glad to have you. Hope you continue to like it here in Tennessee.

After almost 2 years of negotiation the acquisition was completed in September of 2017 for the bargain price of $4 billion.

I think the purchase finally went through and became official.

Yup! He was issued his yesterday. Said its the best Glock that he has ever fired and he has been shooting them since he was 14 years old.

Good video, informative, I like the lanyard ring and extension on the front strap, that'll cut down on pinching your hand. But I still can't see it as much more then slapping some lipstick on a pig.

Welcome to Tennessee.

Very cool and that problem with my unsecured desk drawers flying open unexpectedly, SOLVED!

Therein lies the problem. Tight 1911s are finicky by nature. The original military spec for the 1911 was loose enough that you were to be able to disassemble a myriad of them, mix up the parts, and reassemble them with no problem and a perfectly functioning gun afterward. When folks started hand-fitting them for the tightest tolerances possible in the pursuit of microns of improvement in accuracy, they invited Murphy's Law into the equation. Modern service pistols aren't as persnickety as tight-tolerance 1911s. A few mags of ammo through them is all you should need to satisfy your own superstitions. Honestly, if a modern service pistol doesn't choke in the first mag or two, you should be good to go.

I see little reason to require 500 rounds through a modern handgun before you feel comfortable carrying it. Run a few mags through it. If it works, carry it.

The Punisher was really good, IMO. If you haven't watched it yet, it is worth a binge session.

Years ago, when we moved remote audio via point to point RF, we installed 30 ft pneumatic masts in all of our vans. We're talking jig saws for the big (8" or so) holes. After the first one, we were pretty numb when it came to punching any hole in any vehicle roof. I know doing your own is different. That's why mag mounts have always been popular.

I'm already where I plan to be when the chit hits the fan.....unless, of course, my wife happens to be "the fan". :eek:

This is sounding more and more like "who's on first" ...

People complain about Trump but he has only been in office for a year and already solved global warming.
