    My Glock turned 21 today...

    well maybe not exactly today, but close enough. It was the first pistol I bought when I turned 21 many years ago. It has served me well for so many years. I got me through the LA Riots, my years working at a gunshop in college, and all my explorations through the CA deserts.

    Long before kydex became widely used, the Glock Sport/Combat holster was king. I remember buying the holster, mag pouch, and a 17 +2 mag in a factory Glock kit. I have shot thousands of rounds through this gun, even some horrible Egyptian corrosive machine gun ammo back in the college days when I had to weigh bullet money against beer money. It never failed me. Here is a few pictures along with the vintage gear I carried it in so long ago..I was well armed then and still am today:







    Hope you enjoy them...

    ✟ In the beginning was the 1911, and the 1911 was THE pistol, and it was good. And behold the Lord said, "Thou shalt not muck with my disciple John's design for it is good and it workith. For John made the 1911, and lo all of his weapons, from the designs which I, the Lord, gave him upon the mountain."✟

                  You gonna buy it a case of ammo?

                  That is awesome. I hope 21 years from now I can post about my first handgun that I still own.

                    Love it..!

                    I sold my 2 1987 gen 1 Glocks..but kept my 1992 Gen 2 GLOCK.

                    Glocks Run and Run......

                    Here she is with my new Glock 17 OD.

                    Gonna keep them both.

                    May the Bridges I burn light the way.

                    Fewer people are killed with all rifles each year (323 in 2011) than with shotguns (356), hammers and clubs (496), and hands and feet (728).

                          Great to hear she has served you well. Had my G17 for 12 years now and have never had a failure of any kind after 10's of thousands of rounds. Glocks are simply amazing aren't they.

                          Decided today that i will get a new Gen 4 23.
