Everybody knows that anything black with a detachable magazine is still in somewhat short supply, but a guy at the gun store who knew i was a 10mm fan called me and said "I may have something you might be interested in"
--- 30 minutes later and i am filling out the paperwork for a Glock 29 , this is the stubby cut down version of the full size G20.
I dont generally have a lot of love for the Glock platform, but have to admit they are sturdy, purposeful buggers and mine has shot as well as my basic service grade 1911's --- so having a companion piece is nice -- The 20 does not fit in the console of my truck, but the 29 will --- (possibly leaving my little SIG 380 without a job )
I'll post a pic when i get it, but Glocks are a bit like plain white work trucks -- they do the job they are supposed to, but will never win any beauty awards (exception being Steve's, which is a sporty looking sidearm if you like the modern stuff)
On a brighter note -- I was able to pick up spare mags for both the full size 20 and the new 29 for 23 bucks each- which is fair, plus 3 boxes of factory ammo --- the shelves were bare of 9mm and 45 ACP, but they had oodles of 10 mil.
On the levergun side, i saw a long barreled model 94 in .25-35 with a full octagon barrel and full length mag tube -- priced at a paltry $2900 bucks, as well as a high wall in 38-55 which was also $1900 --- they were fun to look at though
------ also picked up a couple boxes of factory loaded .32 Special -- i dont shoot the .32 much if i work my way up to 200 loaded rounds i am going to consider that a lifetime supply
here's a pic of honorary Gunnery Sgt Ermey chastising me for paying $550 and still coming home empty handed -- LOL
