m gardner Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Well I finally got the taste out of my mouth that the first Glock I shot left in it. I was playing with a Glock 35, at where else but Sportsman's Warehouse, and the trigger and grip felt good enough to get me to put away my predjudices against ugly black plastic pistols and actually buy it. I dried fired it and became acclimated to the feel of the trigger and holster the first day. Good thing, it went off long before I got on target because I am used to the long DA trigger of my other pistols for the first shot. Shooting into the ground on video would be embarrassing for a hardened expert like me. My have even wept a bit. It's a .40 cal. designed for USPSA shooting. Target sights, long slide, nice trigger. I liked it so much I actually wore it to church this morning and it went unnoticed under my 511 shirt even though it's a really big pistol. It's light enough that it doesn't pull your pants down either so you aren't fussing with it. Nice pistol. Here's video of the first range time with it. It seems to recover extremely well from shot to shot probably because it's long and the barrel is low enough to not cause it to flip up like the XDs I've fired. Need to get some dies and make up some wussy target loads to shoot minor with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strut10 Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Upgrade is inevitable. A feller can't run around backwards with the antiques and minor leaguers all his life. Welcome to the Glock Flock !!! :gun_bandana: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the Glock Flock !!! :gun_bandana: Antiques? I was joking with a young guy who had to copy my birth certificate recently and told him to be careful because it was an historical document. He was so serious and careful with it that it I nearly cracked up. I guess I am an antique! I'm really starting to get to like the feel of cold plastic in my hand though.

Oh................ no disrespect or comment to your advanced years. I was referring to the 1911 when I spoke of "antiques". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None was ever taken. I'm just a congenital smartass and love being older actually. We continually joke among ourselves at the clubs I shoot at. Not politically or socially correct at all. BTW I shot at the top of A class tonight at the steel shoot/speed shoot. Lot of youngsters crying right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need a Glock 35 too. It's very accurate and shootable. I was playing out to 200 meters with it a bit too. It's concealable under my 511 shirts too. I'm starting to,, I'm starting to,,,, I'm starting to LOVE the darned thing ! There I said it!! I hope my SIGs didn't hear me. I'm so ashamed!!
