What You Should Know About The Glock 19

Some prefer revolves over auto loaders, while others simply want a simple .22 for target practice and recreation on the weekend. The “perfect” handgun for me may not be right for you or your needs, it is a personal choice only you can make.

For me the perfect handgun is the Glock 19. I bought mine several years ago from a local gun shop, and immediately fell in love. It is just the right size and fits my hands perfectly.
The Glock 19 is small enough for everyday concealed carry without pulling your ass off, yet large enough to serve as a full size weapon, offering accuracy and magazine capacity comparable to full-sized auto pistols.

Glock pistols are capable products right out of the box, but can be made even better with the addition of a few choice accessories, most of which are also offered by Glock. The first thing I did to mine was replace the standard synthetic sights, with the more durable Trijicon Night Sights that are proven to give shooters greater accuracy at night.
The next thing I did was add the slug plug to the grip, this helps to keep out dirt and other unwanted gunk, I also installed the extended slide release, even though I never use it, I just pull back the slide with an overhand movement with my left hand to chamber a round from the magazine. My main motivation for installing the extended release was to aid in one-handed operation, if needed.
Over the years, gun writers have spent countless words debating the stopping power of the 9mm round. Most of this has been a waste of time and wasted print. The number on element of stopping power is shot placement, not whether the bullet weighs 230 grains or 115. If you do not hit a vital target the outcome will be the same no matter what handgun round is used.
I am a big fan of the 9mm for survival usage. Keep in mind I am not talking wilderness survival here, but about a break down or collapse of the current system 0r TEOTWAWKI.
For price and availability of ammo the 9mm is hard to beat and offers plenty of “stopping power” to get the job down with proper shot placement. If you are wondering or care to know, my choice for an everyday carry round is the 115 grain Cor-Bon +P at 1,308 fps.
Like I stated at the start of today’s post, everyone has their own idea of what makes up the perfect handgun, let us know what you think and your choices in this matter.
