Picked up my Glock! >.>

[TiminMishawaka]

but some weird s*** is going down in my neighborhood and I started to feel like .45 might be a little better than 9mm

Though I feel, as many do, that any handgun is there to buy you time to get to your rifle/shotgun - having the bigger bore for when things get hinky is not a bad idea. I have a pf9 9mm that I carry 90% of the time, unless I'm going somewhere were trouble is statistically more likely, then I carry the Glock 30 (soon to be a .357). Hickock did the same thing. Carried his .36 caliber revolvers when things were normal, switched to his .44s when he was expecting trouble. That's the kind of advice that doesn't get old.

Heh sorry; couldn't resist the friendly jab @ the Glock kool-aid folks.

Honestly I had the G19 bought and on delay, but some weird s*** is going down in my neighborhood and I started to feel like .45 might be a little better than 9mm - and for a .45, I wanted a 1911.

I know the Taurus isn't an "awesome" 1911, but from the reviews, it's definitely a "good" one and since I can't afford a Kimber right now... The Taurus came home with me.

I can't find any damn .45 ACP ammo so I can't get it to the range yet, but it will be soon.

Wow Jon what part of town you live in. I know there was a shooting pretty close to me which does make me nervous. Jim

You're REALLY close to the shooting; I know exactly the one you're speaking of.

No problem; I'd be happy to let you have a shot or 8 with it. Once I get a few mags through it anyway...

 

[Jon Craig]

Woooohooo - my first time shooting with a 1911 (or a .45 at all for that matter). WOW. This is a keeper. Less perceived recoil than the various 9mm's I've fired, and .. .it's a .45! Put 100 rds through it - 50 Federal and 50 Fiocchi.

So very happy I went with a 1911.

Some people say if it not a colt then it not a 1911 but i am here to say taurus is a great gun have a few love it nice gun

Eh - the 1911 is a gun "pattern" or design - lots of companies make them.

 

[Mr.Guido]

I wish Glock would make a 1911, it would be awesome. Something other than that moldy-stick-of-butter looking weapon they been making now for decades, and I'm glad they still do! Don't get me wrong. Anyways, Nice lookin' Taurus though! Congatulations on the purchase. Thanks for the pictures.

It's hard to beat that "moldy-stick of butter looking weapon , why F-Up a success ??
but if they could make a 1911 as reliable as all the rest of their guns , yes I would have one too !

 

[red91vert]

Congrats on the nice glock, got one very similar too it, except I got the wood bullhead grips, have about 400 rounds through mine. I have not had one hiccup feeding or ejecting and shoots some amazing groups for a "cheap" factory gun, definitely a keeper.

 

[MoparMan]

Thats one ugly Glock, almost looks like a Hi-Point

 

[Snayperskaya]

If that is a glock, then what the hell do I have?

Seriously though, very nice. I may have to pick one of those up. I hear that taurus makes a good firearm.

 

[tsbolton]

ALL WAYS READ THE FINE PRINT!!!!

 

[Jon Craig]

I've got 4 extra mags on the way for this weapon. Definitely a 1911 fan all the way - there will be more.

 

[Ford2685]

haha, congrats

 

[cositc]

Thats not a glock its a full-auto uzi heavy machine gun with a 400 round clip drum assault rifle.
