So today I joined the Tactical Tupperware carrying club... I am now the proud owner of a Glock 19... YAY ME!!!! However that is not the best part of my day, the best part was that Back of Cockmerica decided that they were going to block my card because "the card had been used in a gun store so we wanted to make sure that it was actually you using it not some other person"... However it gets better... at the end of the transaction my receipt said $666.68 This is a sign... I don't know what it means but a sign nonetheless  Grumpy post pic of receipt please I left it in your car  and before anyone says anything... Speer gold dots +p  |
That's AWESOME dude! Great choice, welcome to the Dark Side!
The G19 is one of the best fighting pistols ever made. It's one of the most popular Glocks for personal defensive sidearm among civilians, and it's issued by a number of agencies, including NYPD. Now get a shitload of mags, G17 mags in particular. They don't stick out that much, and give you 17 rounds. Eventually you have to get at least one 33 rnder. They are alot of fun..............and perhaps useful for "crowd control" or a zombie horde. 
Now get out and go do THIS, alot! 
ETA: yeah, that's kind of bullshit with the bank.............................fucktards. 'Cause only a bad guy would be buyin' a gun, right?

Welcome Shakul, the tupperware is like AR's (FIREARMS CRACK) pretty soon you will have a .40, 357 sig, .45 and when you care enough to send the very best a 10MM. The damn things keep reproducing in my gun safe just like the 1911's do. Do yourself a favor, get a G20 and some doubletap ammo from Mike McNett and enjoy a 15+1 .41 mag. THAT is some good medicine.
The best thing about a Glock is, EVERYTIME your booger hook hits the bang switch, it goes bang. |

First off, I have yet to take the Glock plunge, I like my Sigs and Browning High Power too much. But I'm not counting them out.
Second, anytime any firearm (except Jennings and High-Pointswhich) goes home from the pound the heavens rejoice. Happy Day
Third, it is weird that Bank of America would block something like that, during my tenure as an employee at a Kansas Gun Shop, my income went into my BoA account and right back out with the Debit Card, 18 firearm and many many more other purchases and nary a peep from the Bank. Meh... -RH |

Meh... -RH I think it's more the fact that I only use my card to do one of three things w. it... pay my CC, buy ammo, buy guns... and in the past couple of days I've bought about 2k worth of ammo, guns and gear... |
|
I guess when I only used that card to buy guns over a two-year period they just figured that that was my MO and wrote it off as me just being another gun nut. But if you have only used that particular card to buy cupcakes and candycanes for a while and then go out and spend a mint on guns and gun accessories it may raise a flag.
-RH ETA: Spelling and grammar, I either need beer or sleep ...or both |

I have BofA as well and have never heard a peep from them on any of my purchases. My statement regularly reads, Gunz and Schizzle, Rainier, Ben's, Fed Way Disc, Mary's. Hell I even had a purchase from NW Tactical in Ohio and nothing, crazy.
Have fun with your new toy. Sir James... |

A perfect match for someone needing a high speed low
penetrating loading for home defense or CCW. Caliber : 10mm Bullet : 135gr. Nosler Jacketed Hollow Point. Ballistics : 1600fps / 767 ft.lbs. - Glock 20
These loads are low flash. They are a great option for personal defense. Now available! Caliber : 9mm+P Bullet : Bonded Defense JHP Ballistics : 115gr @ 1415fps / 511ft. lbs. from a G17. Shakul, I SURE AS HELL DON"T WANT TO STAND IN FRONT OF EVEN ONE OF THESE Glock 19 velocity - 1395fps. Caliber : .45ACP Bullet : 230gr. JHP Ballistics : 1014fps/ 521 ft./lbs. - 5" 1911 This loading makes the .357 Magnum perform like it should! Velocity is from a 4" bbl and there is virtually no muzzle flash. For those of you who prefer a wheelgun, this might be the most effective loading available for defense. Velocity: 1600fps / 4" Ruger GP-100 1425fps / 1 7/8" S&W 1750fps / 6"bbl S&W 686 Bullet: Bonded Defense 125 gr JHP Muzzle Energy: 710 ft. lbs. Doubletapammo McNett is the Maximum SAAMI spec god. And if you really want to have fun at the indoor range, get a $150 9x25 barrel for your Glock 20 and try one of these......... 9x25 Dillon 115gr Bonded Defense JHP This load is great for home defense. Limited penetration and dynamic expansion. DYNAMIC EXPANSION, has a nice ring to it doesn't it? Caliber : 9X25 Bullet : 115gr. Bonded Defense JHP Ballistics : 1800fps / 827 ft.lbs This is a really fun load to shoot. It is one of the fastest pistol loads in existence. Caliber : 9x25 Dillon Bullet : 90gr. Bonded Defense JHP Ballistics : 2100fps / 881 ft. lbs. Glock 20 with 6" barrel |

Sorry Vini, I gotta counter your suggestion.
Do NOT use G17 mags in a G19 for personal carry or on "go-to" gear. It is far too easy in the heat of the moment to over-seat extended magazines into Glock pistols. Seems hard when you're trying it at home, but wait until the adrenalin is flowing. So you say the frame and magazine have a built in stop to prevent that, right? Sure, go ahead and try it and see what happens. If it's for range use or just for play, go for it and use extended mags in the G19. For actual use, stick with factory G19 mags. Oh yea, last thing Shakul, now you don't have an excuse not to buy a real fuckin' holster. |
| Really...................I wonder just how hard you have to slam them in to break 'em past the shelf? Gotta be pretty hard, those areas are relatively solid. Have you accidentally done this before? Or are there reports of this? I want to know. I've never had a problem......................done alot of slammin' on the G22 mags in my 23. |

ooooo... page 2!!(just had to do it) damn you guys!!! making me really miss my G19 that i traded off when i was ummm young and dumb
i really wish i still had it because i sure as hell cant buy another one for the $200 bucks i scored it for (got it for pawn bail from a friend) |

Congrats on the G19. It's one of my favorite pistols. Since I shot it the best. Go with a Kramer Holster.
I recently told BaNk of Cockanerica to fuck off. Since the decided to double my interest rate on a card that had zero balance. They still send my blank checks after I told them not too and constantly tried to get me to sign up for monthly ripoffs. I hope that company =FAIL |

Huh––––oh............wait............I see what ya did there.......................
Oh Grumpy, on the issue with using the extended mags, that may apply to your big-ass man hands..............not sure if my own frail digits could do that kinda damage..................... Hell, in an adrenalin-fueled frenzy, you could probably crush the whole frame, big guy!

It does seem like an excessive amount of force until you're under stress and shit starts falling apart as it tends to do. Yes, it has happened to me, a long time ago which is why I don't even own any 33 round glock mags and havn't for years. It is a phenomenon that has been noted during hard training and is actually pretty easy to do when you are running and gunning. Some people over on the Tactical response forums have a video or two out on youtube about this as they have seen it during their classes as well. |

I guess I better be careful with 'em.............That also explains why ya don't have 33rnders, as you said. I was just thinkin' ta ask that. You'll have ta keep your giant-ass man hands away from my Glocks! I don't want ya breakin' 'em!

Well, I'm glad to see the Slide Cover Plate's not one of those ghey ones, you know, with the Seahawks emblem or Punisher skull, all shiny............the one you're looking at looks good. Tat Fire Dragon spring, I've heard good things and bad things about 'em. It may change how the gun cycles, I hope it's reliable for you. I do know the 9mm Glocks will run perfectly with the stock spring, and don't recoil that much. Maybe Grumpy can chime in on the Fire Dragon spring, he may know more about them. Those extended mag releases look good, I have no experience with them, as I use the stock release. As long as they're not stickin' out too far for ya, you know, to get accidentally pushed while in the holster............of course, that will depend on what holster you use. |

My hands and my wifes hands are the same size.... 
That's why I add extended slide releases and mag releases to all my glocks. I can't reach them otherwise without seriously shifting my grip.....

Thanks for bringin' it to my attention though, the issue of using the longer mags..........................it is good to know. One thing's for sure, he can't go wrong by just gettin' a boatload of G19 mags. Which he definitely should endeavour to do...................... Do you have any knowledge about that Fire Dragon recoil spring assembly? |
I'm in a school lab w.out a tablet so it kinda sucks...
