prolly gunna go over to the dark side

After all the shooting at that Glock match this weekend I told the wifey that I "Just have to have one" She said it's have to wait till after our vacation this summer. I guess I know what I am getting for Christmas hehehe

Now I gotta decide it I want to get it in 9mm, 40 cal, Or if I wanna kill 2 birds with one stone and get it in .45 acp?

How is getting it in .45 ACP killing two birds with one stone? I would think that the .40 S&W would be a compromise between the 9 mm and the .45 ACP.

Unless of course you think you can kill two perps with a single shot from the .45 ACP.

Fabs,

Its more like he can kill one perp with one round of .45 ACP rather than many rounds of 9 mm!

Hahahaha yep something like that. If I were to get a 9mm it would be for shooting fun. I would still have to use the .357 for home protection.

well I want a .45acp but I really would like to get it in a 1911 style, AND I would like to have a GLock. problem with getting a Glock in .45 is I would prolly still want a 1911 style .45 sooooo the Clock will prolly be a 9mm or a .40cal.

Don't get me wrong there is nothing (IMHO) wrong with a 9mm that a double tap wouldn't take care of and the ammo is defintely cheap enough for plinking. so I just do not know.

It doesn't matter anyway I'll prolly get the CZ-52 first anyway. they are seemingly starting to get more scarce and more expensive and the Glocks really aren't so I guess I will just have to wait until the July Silverado show and see what happens

I'd get a Glock 17 over the 45ACP counterpart anyday. Those 45's have way to big of a grip for me and feel real clunky. With modern 9mm ammo you would plenty of defensive power should you need it. You'll shoot the 9mm more. The G22's are cool too but 40's aren't as much fun. You could use that G17 along with some mouse loads and be real competitive in an IDPA match if you ever got into that.

[DaMadman]

yeah TD you are probably right. I'll prolly go with the Glock in 9mm and get a decent 1911 style .45 later. The next on the list will prolly be the CZ-52 though.

I think I can swing that $149- $189 price tag a little easier this year than I can the Price of a Glock or a 1911. Not to mention like I was saying earlier, the CZ-52s are gettign more scarce and higher price ever time I turn around so I think in July I will go ahead and pick on up at the gun show, Glock will be after that and then the .45 . That should about cover me for handguns for awhile.

Then on top of that I gotta get my son a shotgun to start shotoing clays and squirrels next season.

schweet looks lik you like them too. I personally think they are a great gun for the money and I like the style of them and the power of that 30 cal round they shoot

$149 for a handgun, that would almost border on Saturday night special classification. How can those guns be that inexpensive when compared to other handguns (e.g., Beretta, Glock, H&K). Then again, I think S&W is a little cheaper than the three mentioned above as examples.

They are mil surplus and old as the hills. But they are a workhorse and from what I have heard if you clean them up and take care of them they do not malfunction.

I could have gotten a Star in 9mm for a little more than that last Silverado show. I think the Star was $229 ir $219 but I didn't want it in 9mm I would have bought it if it were in 45acp the guy just didn't have one

There a link to a CZ-52 for $155 with holster and 2 mags

Glock does have a .45 with a grip more thin than before. But I think its only for the .45 G.A.P.

I learned quite a bit about Glocks over that weekend shooting match.

I don't thing I would spend the money on that GAP. The round is .45cal but only the length of a 9mm. comes up a bit short compared to the .45 acp. Plus I just don't think it will catch on and last, it'll be hard to get the ammo for that thing
