If you find yourself using a particular one ; youāll fit right in. - PSS: donāt go into a gun shop smelling like Mary Jane , use a good
cover sent.
Also try not to use the word ( GUN ) oh zhit thatās a antonym.

You know, Kathy25, you might consider trading one of those Glock 17s in for a Glock 19. Iāll explain why: when I travel, I carry a Glock 19 (15+1) and in my Vertx backpack I have a backup Glock 17 (17+1) and several spare G17 magazines. The G19 can accept G17 mags (but not vice versa). Point is that the G19 is a little smaller, a little lighter, but will accept the mags of my backup weapon. Just my $0.02 worth. Hereās a size comparison for you:

If I was getting the G19, Iād opt for the Gen 5 version, with MOS (Modular Optic System).
Takes away the knobs on the grip, ambidextrous slide stop lever, reversible mag release button, front serrations, and ability to easily add an optic. Great size and large magazine too.
Damn, now I want oneā¦

The Glock hump, shave it off. Thatās what I like about the MR920, you get backstraps that get rid it of or add the hump.

In the posts I read above, no one has referenced gear. If you will be taking a class with an instructor, you will need a good holster, gun belt and magazine pouches. Do some research on these before you buy or you may end up with 15 holsters in a drawer before you find one that suits you. Ask questions of those who already have gone through the procedure to see what they recommend. Then chose accordingly.

Glock 17 was the #1 choice amongst āsoldiers of fortuneā and may still be. Reliable with minimal maintenance.
First pistol my son bought out of the Marine Corps as well.

I almost did, too. I then tried the Beretta PX4, and decided I preferred hammer-fired over striker-fired. Glocks are good handguns.

Hammer guns seem to be my falling plates favorites, M9 and 1911 due to accuracy. Love hammer guns. Surprising myself by running a few IDPA courses at the club successfully with my G19 though. Chose to run what I carry as the scenarios are based on possible āsituationsā except for the construction of the perps 
.
My Glocks are the 19 and 43, but may have some Casper guns based on the 26, 19, 17, 17/19 hybrid and 21. Hard to say as they disappear and reappear at will, and itās like I can see RIGHT THROUGH THEM!!
