I have done the unthinkable.

HooDoo Man · May 28, 2023

My garage gun that is stored in there just for fast & easy access (still secured) was a Sig P 2022, 9mm. I don't worry about it getting exposed to whatever. But I hate shooting it. I love all my other Sig's but this one is crap. The DA trigger pull is like driving a dump truck. I rented another inexpensive gun when I was at the range and had some spare time. It shot much better than the piece of crap 2022 and was solid. So, I bought one for the hell of it. Now you can call me a born-again hypocrite. Blasphemer. Two-faced. Satan. Or whatever comes to mind. I'll take my medicine. I now own a Glock, G19. Something I swore I'd never do. But the rest of my Sig's still put it to shame. Who knows what the future brings?

I understand. A Glock is a good utility gun. It does have it's place.

Be careful of your dog. They really like to chew on a Glock.

OH NO NOT A GLOCK!

dennishoddy · May 28, 2023

I have one glock in my collection and did not buy it. G-43 in 9mm. Won it at a Ducks Unlimited from a bucket i dropped one ticket into.
Hate the grip angle, hate the trigger guard and just the name glock.
It's a safe queen to be sold at auction when I go to the big hunting grounds on the other side.

The first step is admitting you have a problem.

Hard to believe that they had that at a DU Dinner.

It supports the DU engraving on the frame. I've won a really nice shotgun, and a couple of centerfire rifles at those banquets. Not everything is duck related.

What about mice. I have been fighting a battle with rodents that love the wiring of my '96 F150. Extract of peppermint seems to keep them away from that truck now.
A G-19 is what I carry with a holosun or RMR. Simple manual of arms. But I am looking for something better that can be set up with a holosun and I want smaller. for now I will be going to a glock 26. I have multiple parts and even spare OEM slides. I am capable of fixing anything that goes wrong with it and it is my World WROL pistol if that ever happens. What is wrong with is that very long distance head shots are difficult with the glock trigger. But most things happen at closer ranges.
For the garage maybe a spare shotgun of which I have a few spare 12 ga pumpguns that go bang. If they become legal again maybe a cheap andersen lower & brace with a cheap BCA pistol upper. If it has to be a cheap pistol a .45 caliber high point.

But I have spare 1911s that I am not currently using. The only one I shoot these days is my kimber target gun that is set up with a burris fast fire for bullseye shooting.

Now that I think about it. It must have been the Covid shot.

I confess to this one. But my question is; Is it still a Glock if the only original part is the mag.??

"What about mice. I have been fighting a battle with rodents that love the wiring of my '96 F150. Extract of peppermint seems to keep them away from that truck now."

They ate the wiring and plastic molded parts out of my motorhome a few years back, about $6,000 worth of damage. If you ever find anything better than that peppermint oil, PLEASE let me know. Somewhere on the interweb, there is an article named " the incredible, edible car " A must read if you live in the country.

... Well, since you're still here, we know part of the future & one of the things that WILL happen...
The sale of a Glock!
Don't know WHEN. Don't know HOW. But someday it WILL happen...
It's ok to lose it, but rather see you get some money back for .45 ammo.
There should be no name calling, as we are all only human, and we all do, or have done, some things we regret. We also understand how in a moment of confusion, this could happen to a 'fanatic'.
But, we DO know WHY it will happen! 1st, You are already feeling "conflicted" so there's that. 2nd, the grip angle will be off and it will shoot like the 'proverbial' garbage truck - with a flat tire - hitting curbs, trash cans, etc. While you're getting used to missing bull eyes, the feel of the trigger will gnaw at your subconscious.
Some of this will happen sooner, some later.
We do kmow this - we wish you "good luck with the sale "GLWS !

LOL

You also can't use a 'Gloxk' for a hammer - or throw plastic hard enough to really hurt 'the other guy'.

I will probably never sell it. If I do get rid of it, I will give it to my woke son-in -law. I will tell him even though he doesn't care for guns that he should keep it for the unthinkable emergency that may come about. He may need to use it to save his life. After all it's a Glock, the most dependable handgun on earth. As I stated, he will probably be the one to receive it. (Without the F/P).

winter of 2022, Mice chewed wires in my truck and it was expensive to fix, then it happened again about 4 weeks later. On the 2nd time I discovered that honda makes a type of tape that is infused with some sort of pepper spray type substance. I had the mechanics wrap the wires with that and it hasn't happened again.
After the 1st time I bought one of those 12v electronic mouse repellers... didn't work at all.
When I went online to order the honda tape the online parts stores add a "hazard" fee for shipping that added a lot to the price. I found some on ebay without the fee. I hope that helps. Now if only the car makers would stop using the soy based wire shield over the wires. That's why mice are chewing them now

Some plastics I read have soy derived oils or such in them.
About the only way is a bunch of cats. I only had one cat and dogs would not let it off the porch to hunt. Finally my dog little guy after having lived with that cat for 5 years killed it. The cat was off the porch hunting when it died.
