When making this decision, I also thought about the change to the grip shape of the Gen5 Glocks. That’s why I turned to my Gen2 Glock 17, which saves me about a pound. I needed to carry something lighter on duty, even if only for a while. 38 Super Hard Chrome 1911 I have been carrying over the better part of this year has been bothering my back lately due to its weight. However, from time to time I use it as a test vehicle - most recently for the fine XS F8 Tritium sights.
I haven’t done much with it over the intervening years.
I have a Gen2 Glock 17 that has been in my family since 1994, purchased right before the Clinton Gun Ban. It seems everything makes its way back around. After reviewing the Gen5 Glock 19 back in January of this year, I got to thinking about one of its “back to the future” design elements: the removal of the built-in frontstrap grasping grooves that had been an integral part of the Glock design since the Gen3 pistols debuted. Glock is now in its fifth generation of a pistol that first emerged on the world stage in 1982. And I review and write about new products on the market so that you folks can find out about and perhaps purchase them.) I, for one, have been through my fair share of new guns through the years. (Quick disclaimer here: I am not recommending that you don’t buy new guns. But there are other shooters out there who may not be able to afford to purchase the newest and greatest firearms on the market. This could get pricey for one shooter, so new guns would often be traded around within the circle of fellow enthusiasts for a few weeks or months.Īnd so I fully understand shooters who want to buy and try new things. When I started policing full-time, I became a member of what we unofficially referred to as the “gun of the month club.” A number of officers who were also shooting enthusiasts just had to have the newest handguns for off-duty, backup or sporting use.
