I feel so dirty.

[g.mccormick]

After work I took a little drive over to camby with my Taurus PT140 in tow. I visited Bradis and talked over some AR-15's (couldn't quite get myself to pull the trigger on one yet).
I then shifted my attention to a new pistol. I looked at xd40sc, glock 26, 27, and 19. I finally settled on a g19 with night sites. It probably took me 30 mins or more talking with the salesman (I think it was Walter??) trying to decide on which pistol to buy. I already own a service xd40 and love it, but decided to try a glock. The 19 seems very nice.
Its an Austrian import, atleast Im pretty sure, It says "Made in Austria" on the side of it.
I traded in the pt140 on it.
Can't wait to shoot it.

That is a nice choice, I don't think you will be dissapointed. But....keep us updated and let us know!

Just a hunch.....but my guess is you will be.....

Congratulations..an imported Glock! I don't know how many they imported but, I believe anything "imported" will increase in value sometime this year. Everybody has re-focused their attention to the economy so I'm thinking a gun ban is coming soon.

A lot of Glock 19 with Austrian proof marks are being imported and sold right now. Glock has been importing them because they cannot keep up with post-election demand using only their USA production line(s).

They are Glocks and will never have any more or less value than non-import marked Glocks.

The eternal battle. I've heard the cookies help with the dirty feeling.

Congrats!

G19?

You will not be disappointed.... I believe the G19 is very tough to beat for a carry pistol.

Good to see Bradis getting some in, I have a G17 that I need to get rid of for another G19.....hmmm.

g.mccormick probably got one of the last Austrian-proofed G19s; we got a batch in late last week that had the normal "Glock Inc., Smyrna GA" markings and US proofs, so it appears that domestic production of the compact frames is up and running.

but decided to try a glock. . . . . . I traded in the pt140 on it.

I too traded in a PT140 MilPro (first carry gun) for my current Glock 19. I have NEVER regretted it. You won't either.

You might, however, start to become "jaded" and no longer care for Taurus-type pistols. . .

Welcome to the Dark Side.

You know, that little taurus is an excellent pistol. The trigger was hard when I first got it, but several thousand dry fires later it became pretty darn smooth for a dao trigger. Great gun, I just had no real attachment to it.

Speaking of triggers, the glock trigger kinda sucks compared to my xd40. I guess i will just have to get use to it.

Congrats on the G19! You wont be dissapointed

I saw the title and my first thought was "Oh no, another n00b went to Don's!!!"

Some hope remains.

So should have just bought the xd 40sc or the xdm....I don't know if I can share my reloading equip with a Glock owner

Easy now. Ive still got the xd40, so all hope is not yet lost.

 

[Bigum1969]

Congrats on the G19.







<---------------------------- I just got one too!

 

[ChalupaCabras]

Congratulations. You traded up.

I went through the same thing last year. I ended up trading my PT140 for an XD40SC. I really liked my Taurus but I love my XD. I hated to trade in the Taurus but I didn't need two .40 sub-compacts. My XD is my daily CCW and it has eaten everything I've fed it without fail.
