I’ve been looking to get rid of guns I don’t shoot and swap them for guns that really fill a niche.
Took a Security 6 up to a couple of fun shops and did some serious fingering of Kahrs and KelTecs- I decide I would still mostly cary my Glock 19.
One of them had a Early Gen3 19 in great condition and I figured I’d get it. I had a 17 and a spare. I carry a 19 and my wife carries a 19 so I’ve been on a lookout for another.

I went up and heated it up with 100 rounds of WWB, it operated fine. I figure I’ll put new sights on it and a Vickers Mag release and skip the stipple job and just keep it in the bottom of the safe.
Maybe if I lay a 17 and 19 together in the safe I’ll end up with a 26?
My Glock sickness would be a lot worse if I knew buying the object of my desires wasn’t a complete and total crapshoot. Pretty sad when you have a gun on your mind but won’t dare buy it BRAND NEW for fear of getting a lemon and are left to hunting for a used model from over 3 years back.
I first started showing symptoms of the disease around 1996. Tried to cure it with a G-21 and G-30. I soon realized that 2 was too many and 24 wasn’t enough. I must admit that of all the pistols pictured in the “target group” the ones from 7 o’clock to 12 o’clock belong to the wife as well as 3 of the pistols in the “GAP” group.Be aware that this sickness can be passed on to other family members.I was fortunate to win 3 pistols at the GSSF match in Grand Island,NE this past June,so I’m waiting on a GEN 4 G-20 and GEN 4 G-38 and haven’t made a choice on the third one yet.To make things worse I couldn’t resist a FDE G-22 and it should be here Monday.
I only have 2. My daily carry 3rd gen G19 police trade and a clean late model 3rd gen G17. By the S# it seems to have been built just before the current fiasco. So far it has been 100% but i haven’t had much time to shoot it yet. About 300 rounds +/-. But the sickness has set in! Im currently looking at a gen2 G17 and a gen2 and 3 G21. All former police guns.
