I have a gen2 G19 that I bought in 1991.
that gun has accurately fired about 3k rounds without a failure to feed, fire, or extract. |

 I still have my old G20. Hell, and that picture is like 10 years old. The ol' girl has even more holster wear and character. And 10,000+ rounds downrange. -p.

They should have stayed with that grip.
All the money being spent to have the finger grooves removed speaks volumes on why Glock shouldn't have them on their guns. |

I have a hard time getting past the major league derpage of the FBI loading the 10mm Auto so it underperforms the 40 Short and Weak, and using that as a reason to abandon the 10mm in favor of the 40.

If our brilliant federal government hadn't inserted their limp dicks in the gun business Glock would never have put the idiotic finger grips on it in the first place.

I got my G22 w/NY Trigger in the summer of 1991.
Still have it to this day, with the Tupperware case. Chris |

Why carry a .45 frame when you can meet the standards with a 9mm sized pistol? |

And with the epoxy/sandpaper grit addition I added, I can easily hang onto that chopped gripframe with a near max. dose of Blue Dot.
