I really like the Glock but it seems like I have to develop some kind of three finger grip to hold it.<br />Older School: Yeah, the old pinkie between the clip and the grip wound. I own one of those PA-63 9x18 pistols which also has a short stock. The clip is a little hard to slide in, so one day in a fit of impatience I slammed the damn thing home with my left hand while holding the pistol in my right, neatly catching the meat of said right hand between the clip and the stock. Trust me, I'll never do that again.Mad Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06190137186843630543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1531929769862216250.post-25247896762603311552011-01-02T22:15:16.055-05:002011-01-02T22:15:16.055-05:00I'm certainly a Glock fan but I too had a bit ...I'm certainly a Glock fan but I too had a bit of trouble with that 23 that I eventually sold. It was a great concealed carry handgun, but it never failed...whenever I took it out on the range, my pinkie finger would slip and get pinched between the grip and the mag. Even with the grip extender, I was forever struggling with the grip. I'll stick with the 19. I also have a 20 year old S&W 9mm with a 15 round mag that is my baby.<br /><br />Sounds like you had a quiet and responsible New <br />Year's...or as the younger ones tell me, "a snoozer." In my state, and in most surrounding cities, fireworks are legal. So - my philosophy has always been that alcohol and firearms do not mix. Alcohol and fireworks are just as bad.<br />More amateur night here too.Older Schoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18088287529093072304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1531929769862216250.post-45452317947690179092011-01-01T19:23:23.959-05:002011-01-01T19:23:23.959-05:00I have a baby Glock .40 (27 i think) that has less...I have a baby Glock .40 (27 i think) that has less snap/recoil than the 23 I used to have. I think it is because it uses a shorter yet stiffer recoil/buffer spring that does a better job of it. <br /><br />I use the longer 23 mags in it with a slip on grip extender that allows me to use the higher cap mags and gives me a place to put my pinkie.<br /><br />I shoot both Glocks better than the H&K USP 40C that I replaced my 23 with. Who knew.<br /><br />Sounds like you had a productive 1st, thanks for the post.Capt.
