The Glock. Today, it’s considered old fashioned by many shooters. When Gaston Glock first introduced the firearm, it was one of the most controversial and feared weapons on the market.
The Glock was the first majorly marketed “new generation” polymer gun. While many improvements have been made to the design over the years, the gun has fundamentally changed very little since it was first introduced in the early 1980’s.
We spill the beans on the Glock
Spice holds Salty’s pink Glock 17
Salty and Spice get down to business talking about the guns that the two open carry while at The Place. Spice keeps her trusty Glock 19 by her side to keep her safe when things go bump in the night at the cabin.
Glocks are also used by the pair as two of their prime home defense weapons (him a 17, her a 19, and one of the smaller models, a 26, is a concealed carry option.
Boxy, but good…
If you were to see Spice out on the range, she might shoot several guns, but one of those on the table would without doubt be her trusty 19 9mm. Equipped with Trijicon night sights, she’s killed many a target with her dark earth colored pistol.
A key factor in our choosing to use the Glock family of firearms is the fail-proof quality of the factory magazines which are reliable, sturdy and relatively affordable. Additionally, the mags are very interchangeable as long as you use the bigger magazines. You can use a 17-round magazine in both a 19 and 26, whereas the shorter guns magazines wont fit in the 17.
We chose 9mm as our preferred round, but the Glock line also includes models chambered in .380, .40S&W, .45ACP and 10mm to name just a few.

Carry the gun that you can hit with, and that fires every time. That’s a given. If it’s a Glock, fine. But all of my guns shoot every time or I wouldn’t own them, and I hit with them all (except for the sub compacts, they’re a compromise, of course). A Glock is a fine weapon, but it isn’t unique in it’s reliability.
I liked your comment on the Smith Model 10, and I agree. I’ve owned one or another all my life; it’s my wife’s bump-in-the-night gun. Personally, I prefer the calibers that start with 4.
I totally agree, SideKahr, there are lots of great options out there, many reliable and accurate firearms on the market. We chose Glocks not because they were better than the others, it’s just what we chose.
I’ve got a couple of S&W model 10’s that have trigger jobs done by an expert, let me tell you they are BUTTER to shoot… absolute butter… smooth as can be.
I like Glocks, but PINK !?!?!
I’ll dig it out for you and post a pic, my good man!
