i am thinking about buying a glock. I have wanted one since i was a kid.
I am thinking about the glock 17. I am thinking about going with the 9mm for the cheaper shooting and high cap.. I looked at the 45. but the feel did not seem right just alittle to wide even as big as i am. A friend has one and told me to go for the night sights but i am thinking spend the extra bucks and go with crimson trace laser grips do they work good on the glocks.

Glocks are an excellent choice and my favorite. I prefer the compacts(G19&23)and subcompacts(G26 & 27)over the full size such as the Glock 17. I think the Glock 19 is about as perfect as you can get. It combines shootability, it is easily concealed, and has plenty of firepower. Don't forget that the full sizeGlock mags fit the compacts and subcompacts as long as the caliber is the same.

As to the the question about night sights or laser grips. As a LEO I have been using night sights for several years now. They are simple and I have not seen any problems with them. If you plan on using the firearm as a defensive weapon then night sights would be my personal preference.

I held the compact at gander for my hands it seemed alittle two small. I do not plan to carry it concealed more of a home defense gun. If i need to take it out of the house i do not think i will need to worry about it being concealed. This will be a home gun. Plus i am a big guy and have plenty of room to hide the thing.

If you don't want a Glock don't shoot one.;)I went with a Model 20 in 10mm.Love it.Just for S&G, I put the Lasermax internal laser in it.Works well.If you get a glock and are interested in the internal I have a site where you can get them for about $250.00 instead of $350.00.

ya i have it down to either a berreta m9 navy. the glock or i am thinking since it is more for home defense and so on a ar15 might not be a bad idea. I plan to move out int he country in the next few years so it might come in real handy out there.

I have a G17 and a G19 and sold my brother my G23, and I love them all. I am a better shot with the 17, but I prefer to carry the 19.

I don't see where you can go wrong with ANY Glock, but I still won't part with my Sig and H&K.

+2 I love my H&K USP 40

I too carry (and prefer) the 23. It's about perfect for me.
