I want a Glock

[Maverick44]

I cannot believe I'm saying this, but I want a Glock. I eventually want to get a PCC in 9mm, and since pretty much all of them take Glock mags, I might as well get one of the damn things.

There's a few I've looked at. I don't think I want a G19 since I probably wouldn't carry it much (I prefer SA/DA for carry), but I would consider it. The G17 and the G34 are the two I'm most interested in. The G17 is, well a G17. Ain't nothing really that special about it. They apparently make a long slide version called the G17L, and it's kinda freakishly long. It doesn't look natural, but it's at least interesting. The G34 is what I'm kinda leaning towards. It's longer than a G17, but not too long. It just seems right, is supposedly has a decent trigger. I'm probably going to upgrade the trigger anyways, so that's not overly important.

What ever I get, I'd want to put a red dot on (MOS), and I will get an Alpha Wolf barrel for it so that I can shoot cast without blowing the gun up. The gun will mainly be a range toy. I'm tempted to build the thing from thr ground up using one of those Polymer 80 kits, but I'm not sure I want to spend that much on it. By the time I did everything I'd want to do, it would be at least a $1000 gun...

Any suggestion, opinions, smart ass remarks, ect?

Stick to the double-stack models so you can use the mags in the PCC that you said you’d like to eventually get.

Might want to finger-f@ck the G19 before you dismiss it. I prefer the way it feels in my hand compared to the G17.

Do it. Lol buy a Glock and a keltec sub2000 or ruger pcc. I have both carbines. I prefer the ruger sights but the sub2000 is a bit more accurate.

I shot a buddy's 17 recently and was surprised on how it felt, and how accurate it is. Won't buy one, but its a nice weapon.

You dont have to buy a Glock, you could use Pmags. I have 3 of these inserts from MEAN ARMS with about 600rnds between the 3.
No issues yet.

G19 and sub 2K

I have a Kel-Tec Sub 2K ordered, but in 40 S&W. I was thinking of either getting the Ruger, or an AR-15 9mm carbine. When I pick up my Sub 2k (hopefully tomorrow) I'll see what Glocks they have and see what feels best to me.

That's weird, but I'm kinda intrigued by it.

I do feel bad.

Soon

I got a Sub2k in 9mm set up for Glock 17 mags, and a Glock 19/5. There wasn't really any planning involved there, obviously.

 

[Mohawk600]

you can get a Glock.......Sub 2000.......and Ruger PC.......all set up for the same mags

Just my .02, but there's a few things you may want to consider before ruling out the P80 (not the kits), or in the tradeoff with other options...

First, based on your criteria, you're may find there's not a ton of price difference in overall path (though the specifics can get pricey).

For example, with the factory Glock MOS and aftermarket barrel, you're a bit cheaper than you can get to with other options; once you start adding upgraded sights, optics mounting hardware, etc., (not to mention aftermarket upgraded internals), the gap shrinks further.

The RDS is going to sit noticeably higher on the MOS slide than a milled one (that I've seen, anyway); you may be good with that, but if its an issue, then add in the cost of custom slide milling/refinishing. Now you're close to being in the same ballpark as a custom build even with just oem internals...

You can also buy a serialized frame if you don't want to finish an 80% frame.

Might want to finger-f@ck the G19 before you dismiss it. I prefer the way it feels in my hand compared to the G17.

Agreed, and raises one other point that with a P80, you've got the option of doing a 'long slide" G19 (pf940cl), which is equivalent to a grip-chopped G17 (G17 slide with G19 grip). It's the one Glock let get away for whatever reason and never made (honestly, would have made more sense to me than some of their recent inclusions).

I give this one honorable mention as it's fast becoming one of my favorites, and something not available on a factory frame (that I'm aware of, at least)

Either way, hope that helps some.

You mean like an inverted mullet Glock?

Took me a second, but yeah - that's an almost perfect description!

I'll take/post a couple pics here in a bit...(no rds on this one, just HD XR sights)

 

[pronstar]

Or if you want Glock compatibility but don’t care who makes it, the new PSA “Glock” might be a good choice.

Most parts are interchangeable with Glock.
And of course it uses Glock mags

While everyone else is knocking themselves out buying striker fired plastic I will be acquiring a Beretta 92 Centurion to add to my collection.
