To paraphrase “Hans und Franz”: Pumpitude is no substitute for Glockitude!
Why, am I not allowed to?
I will just disagree.....less is more IMO. The 1911A1, SIG and Combat Tupperware Glocks are my choices. Albeit I have NOT even laid hands on a XD yet. No reason just haven’t met anyone on my work or public range with one .
An XD runs just like a Glock, but it has the benefits of a little tit prong that pops out of the back of the slide when the striker is cocked, and an extractor-like doohicky on top that juts up 1/8” when a round is chambered.
So you basically have an uglier Glock, with visual/tactile condition indicators. A good thing in the dark at 3am as you reach for the bedside gun. With your thumb and finger, you can just KNOW the status of the gun, even if you have not touched it in a while.
With a Glock, you gotta semi break battery and “press check,” or just “hope and think” you remembered the status correctly.
My memory is not 100.0000000% perfect, so I’ll take the visual/tactile indicators’ help.
PS, I forgot, if you always empty chamber carry a Glock, them indicators don’t matter none.
You remembered.....:o)
I, as ya know, carry my CHL glock empty chamber with a full “plus two” magazine, cavalry / messkin style in my waistband. I can embassy rake the slide or just Israeli it. Spare mag rides in ruler pouch of my carpenter jeans perfectly.
I will snag /borrow an XD on your recommendation asap.
The out of the box melt / dehorned glock is key for me due carry a lot and only shoot in 3 gun matches and or range days. Aside from a Clark Meltdown 1911A1 or a Hk P9S (IMO) a CHL rig can play havoc on upholstery at home and in your vehicle as well as your clothing due sharp edges etc .....glock meets all my needs for comfortable carry, reliable and easy on the skins......
If you have and like Glocks, there’s no reason to change.
That’s true.
Visual?
The trigger position will both visually and physically indicate if the Glock is ready to go bang. Unless one routinely keeps their Glock unloaded with none or an empty magazine inserted. Then it will give a false positive; however I know when my Glocks are unloaded as they are in pieces on the cleaning bench.
Thanks for the tip......
I wonder if Tiger tried to sneak a couple of little hookers into rehab like junkies do?
;<)
