I am thinking of switching my Daily carry gun. I am currently using a Glock 20- 15 Rounds of 10MM- Appx 630 FPE each round- I am looking for a superior handgun to carry. Any suggestions? |

Quoted: Quoted: I know where you can find a CHEAP Charles Daly .45...[:)] Really, if you want to sell it, i'll but it, but be aware that I paid $150.00 for the last one. My Charles Daly was purchased at 5:30 PM on Tuesday and returned at 11:00 AM on Wednesday. I didn't even own it for 24 hours... I couldn't get it to feed by hand when I brought it home, then it fell apart the next morning when I first shot it... It was immediately returned, and traded in on a beautiful .40 cal 96FS Beretta that shoots like a dream... The ink on the paperwork/transaction was still wet... |

There is no reason to keep one of those things at full retail price. They would requite too much work just to make them marginal- Enough $$$ that you coulda bought a Springfield in the first place [:)] Smart move IMO ditching the Daly |

The only drawback to using 10mm is the possibility of overpenetration. You are using the correct make gun for personal protection, my friend. Glocks are the Anti-1911. No need for smithing just to get them to feed different types of ammo. Greater reliability and capacity. I have not read nor seen anyone ask for less ammo or a malfunctioning sidearm after a gun battle. [kill] I admire the 1911 types for their nostalgic efforts to keep an inferior design alive but there are too many reasons to stay with the Glock design.[sex] If anything I would buy a model 30 or 21 for personal carry. |

Quoted: Upgrade from 10mm Glock? How about a cut down 105 mm Howitzer? 10 mm has .357 magnum (like) ballistics in an auto loader...what more do you want? Er, try .41 Magnum with Normas--- Certian Light Grain Specialty ammo hits around 1000FPE, or that of a .44 Mag... I'm just lookin for someone out there to justify a better gun then this. |
| I recommend and use a Glock 21 with 45 acp Golden sabres from remington! By looking at actual shootings nationwide with this round it's been determined it has a 96% one shot stop rate! and being slower ballistically it isn't as likely to get you sued by overpenetrating and hitting innocents. |

Now with a screen name like growing grass, I would think that the G20 would be the perfect gun already. Say, fer instance, you are going to the woods to check on your favorite agricultural zone, and there's a bear lying in wait for the deer that graze on the local (or should we assume "loco"?) vegetation. You are stylin' with 16rds of 10mike-mike. Or, prehaps, you are going to meet a business associate at a secluded beach or airstrip. If things go bad, few guns reach through cars, boats and airplanes like the 10. Then again, if you are just a simple gardener, maybe you could settle on a nice .38 snubby to pack while you mow lawns and dig ditches. |

njogi, I hope you aren't serious about your carry habits. [thinking] Lemme guess: Mon - Strong side mid ride thumbsnap Tue - Vert. Shoulder Wed - S.O.B. Thur - Horiz. Shoulder Fri - Crossdraw Sat - Dayplanner Off-body carry Sun - "Mexican" carry (no holster) [;)] Listen, I'm joking, but I thin you see my point. I hope that if you get into something REAL BAD (which I hope you never do), that you remember which gun you have, and how to manipulate it, as a reflex action. There is a saying, goes something like: "The deadliest man is the man with only one gun" I hope you train every day (and twice on Sunday, for the Desert Eagle) and are wealthy enough to afford to. No flame, just fact, Urban [:)] [pistol] |

As far as a samller Glock(27 vs 29), the hi vel 40 S&W regularly clocks higher velocities with the same bullet weights than the 10mm out of the mini-Glocks. Stick with the 27 if you want a little gun. (Corbon 135gr seems to work well). http://www.evanmarshall.com/towert/stoppingpowerfigures.htm |

Quoted: Glock and lock for Monday. (G20 or G21) Usp 45 for Tuesday Sig 220 for Wednesday 1911 for Thursday -lots of type choice - Rotate between Para, Kimber, Custom Colt, etc... HK M7 for Friday P99 for Saturday and Desert Eagle 44/.50 AE 6" for Sunday. Desert Eagle .50 AE is serious heater. A bit much for concealed carry though.... [:D] |
