Popular Post wpsmit Posted May 31, 2012 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Well if any of you read my posts, you may know I've been contemplating gun ownership for almost a year. I spent the last 10 days at the range renting every brand, every model that I thought would work for me. One of the first I tried was a Glock 19, and try as i might, I could not find a pistol I liked better. That is until I tried the Glock 26 gen4. What a sweet weapon. Bought it yesterday, and am proud to say that after 62 years I have finally exercised my 2nd amendment constitutional right. Now for a couple of classes, and probably a cc permit. I feel very calm about my well being. 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to America's Great Militia of gun owners................ you thought that after you narrowed it down to the gen 4, the decision making was over now, wrong,..... lets get down to brass tacks and bullets...choices....choices. There is a brand and bullet type out there that your gun will love and will shoot tight groups with, but you have to find it. What does that mean?..........lots of target shooting with different brands and types. Don't just buy any cheap ammo, remember your life could be on the line. I see some of my fellow hunters buy cheap ammo for their rifles and wonder how they missed that deer in the woods Edited May 31, 2012 by Mongo 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wpsmit Posted May 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 When reading this post in the context of the title........I start to giggle. Nice work! :DGO RV, then BV Buwhahahaha! Good one Shabib! Hey I didn't go on a +'s hunt by posting this info, but thanks for all the support. Conversations I've had and read here on DV helped me make the decision to arm myself (not to mention 6 breakins in 4 or 5 months in my subdivision). I pray that I will never have to use my 26 for anything but target practice, but in the event the need ever arises, I will be prepared to defend myself against anyone who decides to try and make me a victim! Thanks again y'all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shinnidan Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Good for you sweetie!! Chalk one up for firearms owners. personally, me would have recommended a M1911 or a Sig226 .40....however, as some may already know this about me....me arsenal has its place, me have no bias to what me will own or fire. me still have me wish list. heheh but u are correct, for most ppl, it is about feel and preference. if it don't feel right when you fire it...than it isn't right. Be Safe and enjoy! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luv mine! As the say'n goes.... you use a pistol to fight your way to your rifle. My primary assault rifle is the DPMS Oracle in 7.62x51/.308 Of course, it's not stock any more.
