No, no. Taurus Beretta-clone. Accurate enough, but not as straight-shooting as the original. A little loose. Fires every time, though, and accurate enough out to 25 yards. I’ve put 1000’s of rounds through it, and it still works well and shoots about as straight as it did out of the box.

Rotate weapons and you’re on. I’m not sure mine will go 400 yards, but most bottles broken wins, right? Ten rounds on mine and 10 on yours and vice versa. Empty the bottles before or after we shoot? I like UMC rather than the Winchesters.;-)

Oh. Not too familiar with those.

I saw a new fancied up version of the beretta 92 at a gun shop not too long ago. It’s made by beretta. I checked it over real good and it seems really nice. It’s not called a 92, it’s called a “90-two”. I don’t know why, it’s kinda silly imo. The only thing is, it seemed to me the trigger had a slightly different feel to me and it didn’t seem like an improvement. The salesman swore up and down it was exactly the same as the trigger on my older 92. But I don’t think so. I’ve gotten all kinds of bad info and bad advice from gun sales guys over the years and I think he was full of shit.

I own two guns that I trust with my life, one is my Kimber, the other is an S&W 357 Revolver.

That was the idea, but the KaBOOM!s have really hurt Glock’s image, as you can tell from some of the posts. This comes up EVERY time you hear about a Glock malfunction.

I’m running several aftermarket barrels (fully supported, land/groove) with no reliability issues.

There have been significant calls for Glock to improve the chamber design, but they’re not listening.

Good point, but I think those folksy narcotraficantes on the border these days are not terribly concerned with what is allowed and what isn’t.

He has a .38 because the big kids at the bus stop took his Glock.

It was girls that done it too!

Worse than that, they gave me an atomic wedgie and since I was wearing Thunderwear, I had to have my backup Colt Mustang professionally recovered.

You have a Mustang for your backup gun?

Cool!

So, why not shoot in the custom defensive pistol category?

I do think some of the rules are arbitrary though.

Never go out alone without a P-51 as backup. ;-)

The G30 is .45ACP, as is the G21. The G30 is dimensionally a little smaller than the G21 for easier conceal-carry. Glock uses an octagonal rifling system in both .45ACP models which makes them extremely accurate and the polymer frame helps reduce the recoil bite; I was surprised at how pleasant these two Glock models are to shoot compared to a 1911. The G30 has a great reputation with shooters and I think you will be very pleased with it.

This was an ammo failure. Glocks are some of the best built and most reliable handguns ever produced. This coming from a confirmed 1911 owner.
