New Glock 23

Glock 23

Ig:

In reference to your comment concerning the list of firearms to be declared illegal and/or confiscated, I'm sure you know some states have already banned the sale of those "standard" capacity glock mags, and in some states (notably Ted Kennedy's Massachusetts) certain Glock models are "non compliant" with firearms regulations.

Your plan to 'buy while the buying's good" may have more merit to it than you first supposed.

Stay safe,

Have had my 23 for a couple of years. Bought it second hand with night sights and a couple of pre-ban mags. Bought a couple more pre-bans, and a bunch of 10-rounders for training. It has become my favorite carry piece. Have close to 3K rounds through it now.

Just brought home a 27 with night sights and a couple of Pearce +1 mag extensions. Fits the hand nicely and supports a full grip with the extensions in place. Off to the range tomorrow to break it in.

Think I'll keep the 23 and the 27 in the same location (when neither is being carried) to see if the rumor (Glock's breed) is true! ;)
 
Legionaire:

Glocks, as you have surmised, do in fact breed. However, there are a number of factors which should be considered when attempting to propagate the species:

1. Glocks only mate during the full moon, usually from two days before until two days after.

2. Most Glocks do not reach puberty until the age of two. (Obviously there are exceptions to every rule).

3. You must be careful to avoid potential problems with incest. Mating a Glock 23 with a Glock 27 would be OK since one comes from the "compact" family and the other comes from the "subcompact" family. On the other hand, attempting to breed a G-26 with a G-27 would result in an incestuous relationship.

4. In the event that one of your Glocks is impregnated, you will need to pay strict attention to pre-natal care. Avoid any rigorous physical activity that might endanger the unborn, such as shooting +P+ ammo.

5. Be prepared to provide a loving, nurturing environment.Putting a newborn up for adoption, or placing one in a foster home, is a heart wrenching experience for all concerned.

6. Understand that you will be incurring additional expenses that may not currently be a part of your budget. Having an extra mouth to feed can be financially traumatic for those who are not prepared.

These are only general guidelines. Each situation is different. Try to anticipate the impacts,and try to consider the various ramifications, before you embark on this course of action.

Best wishes,

Legionaire,

Yes, Glock's definitely breed but before you start down that road let me tell you a sad story so you don't repeat my mistake. I bought a G22 which I replaced with a G30. After having the 30 for a month I decided she was lonely and let her new boyfriend move in. To preserve his idenitity we'll just call him G32. The next month a baby, named G23 magically appeared in my safe. My mistake was this, in a moment of stupidity I had forgot to tell my wife about the new baby. To make a long story short, I had to kick out the boyfriend and the baby now lives with his godparents (my brother). I'm just now being allowed to get another one(after 9 months), so I'm getting a P99 to make breeding is impossible.
 
iggy,

I picked up my first Glock in '93 (G17), not realizing that these guns would become the bane of my existence. Every opportunity to expand my collection (Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries, Father's Day, etc) I place Glocks and accessories on my wish/gift list, to the point that my family doesn't even ask what I want anymore...anything "Glock" will make Dad happy...beats socks, underwear, and ties under the Christmas tree :). IMHO, you couldn't have made a better choice than the G23...just beware that one will beget another, and another.....

Good luck,
gj
 
I started with the 19 because I want to get them in order, but the 18 is hard to find and damned expensive when you do. ;)
