Never thought I would be saying this about a Glock...........(sigh).......but, damn it, I think I found the Glock I like today.

Glock 37 in .45 GAP

Okay Grumpy........I am saying it.............I put 100 rounds through one today thanks to a buddy and damn it, I was sold!

25 meter shooting and I'll be dammned..........I was hitting what I wanted to hit!

Those of you who have shot with me know my eyes are getting pretty damn bad.....well, today I did not really notice.

The round seemd natural comming out of this frame and FELT nice in my hand as I shot.

Then put 50 rounds through my P220 and guess what?

Yup.....you guessed it.........shot MUCH better with the 37 then I did with the P220. Granted, they are different rounds, but I was impressed with the accuracy I was getting today.

Makes a guy think..................

I bought one when they first came out and wished I had gone with the 19...Dont get me wrong great gun, but I couldnt find ammo for it when it first came out. Now everyone has the ammo cause no one has the gun. I think the .45 GAP should have done better in sales, but the majority thought different. Good for you sir..

I picked up a Gen III Model 21 w/ extras the other day; and I’ve never met a Glock that I didn’t like; but the GAP cartridge has never really impressed me much ... and it’s do mainly to of the availability and price of the ammo.

I don't know about that .45 GAP. If it's not dead, it's certianly well on it's way. If you can find ammo for it, you'll choke on the price they'll be asking for it. :(

Not like I am going to buy one since I am piss poor lol, but was the first Glock I have ever enjoyed shooting........


But.....I may have to reinvestigate Glock in .45 ACP and see if I get the same results and then perhaps think of trading off the Sig.....you never know!

I'm sold on my P220....I have yet to shoot a Glock 37, but I must say my Sig is easy to handle and I placed all my rounds in the central location of my target.
I was able to plink a baseball 50yds out and kept plinking at least 3 times in a row, I don't consider myself a skilled shooter.....but Gah-Damn that felt easy!

Hmm.....I'll have to try-out the Glock at some point. I must say, I do like the feel of them.

Yea.......I have always loved shooting my Sig. Never seemed like I was shooting a .45

With my eys though......it was much easier and smoother to bring the Gllock on target.

This.


I'd say my price is pretty fair. No seriously, I'll let it go for cheaper than 9mm.

Limited supplies on hand. Price not available in alaska. Batteries not included. Firearm sold seperately. Your mileage may vary. OAC, IIRC, SIIHPAPP

Take it to the EE biatch!

Naw, you know, I have to admit I've read alot of reports of the Glocks in .45GAP being extremely accurate.  Not sure why from a technical standpoint, but that's what I've read.  That is one redeeming quality I suppose.

Yeah PatchO, put a G21SF in hand, see how you like it.  Grip is just a bit less "huge" than the G21.  

Gotta say though, you and MidnightCreeper are on the right path with those P220s.  Damn fine fighting pistols by all accounts, and a very well-proven design.

PatchO, what kinda sights you got on yours?  Ever considered fiber-optic, or XS Big Dot?  I have a Hi-Viz fiber optic front on my G17 (red), the good one that's encapsulated, not the shitty one with the interchangeable bars...................it picks up great, even in low light.  I'm very happy with it.  It was a cheaper option for a bloke like me who couldn't afford nite sites just yet.

I really like it though.

Only use factory ammo and enjoy the ammo prices on .45 GAP......

And whatever you do, don't ever, EVER, pull the pin and throw it.

Damn, I missed the pin on the one I was playing with!!


Seriousley, now I gotta find someone who has a Glock 21 to let me play with. If I have as much luck as I did with the 37 I may have to make a change.........

Surely a range has one you can try out.  Bullseye probably has one.

hey PatchO, if I can ever get any free/me time set aside? you’re more than welcome to bust off a few on this ‘standard size frame’ G-21 ... and all I have is some quality ‘Factory Reloaded’ .230gr FMJ, so mileage may vary with the accuracy of the piece and/or the ammunition

Well, looks like I am sold on the 21SF.

Gonna see about working a good trade package maybe for my Sig P220.




OH MY GOD! I may be going to the dark side!

Someone stop me!!!!!!!!!!!!
