I have benefitted so much from what others have shared on here, that I went ahead and joined to try to give something back from my own experiences and studies.

Griff:

That is the reason Duane ("DDGator") established this Forum, which I believe has proven to be the most civil gun board on the Internet. Welcome again to the campfire.

I think the civility is do in large part to your example of expression.......I'm sure many will agree....JMO

Thank you, Jack, but I would suggest that the credit goes to the firm and evenhanded way in which Duane administers the Forum and to knowledgeable and experienced members such as yourself.

I have a gen 2 G-19 I bought in the early 80s, it has never missed a beat and has around 30,000 rounds through it.

I have two Gen. 2 Glocks a 19 and a 27. Recently
a good friend and shooting buddy of mine asked
when I was getting a new Gen. 4 Glock. I said
never. He was shocked because he knows how
much I enjoy shooting my Glocks at the Range.
He asked why not and I responded by asking him
when he was buying a "NEW" Colt 1911 A1.

The problem is you can't buy a "NEW" Colt 1911
pistol. You can buy a 100 year old 1911 made
recently, as far as I'm concerned thats NOT new
but outdated. The Glock suffers from the
same problem. When Gaston or rather Glock INC.
bothers to bring their gun into the modern
world and makes it go BANG on every
pull of the Trigger, then and only then will
I consider buying a NEW Glock. A Gen. 4 Glock
is nothing more than a Gen. 1 with different
grips. Its a forty year old design. I'd prefer to
buy a Boberg or a Rohrbaugh or something
thats actually legitimately modern.

I enjoy owning and shooting Glocks and Colts
and my Luger made in 1917, but as long as
Glock allows their guns to stagnate, I won't be
buying a Gen. 4 and I won't be carrying my Gen. 2's
anywhere except to the Range. Their will be
no Gen. 4 Glock in my future.

What kind of gun is in YOUR future? Are YOU
attracted to a stagnant gun design? Do you
lie to yourself and believe that a (insert OLD
gun design here) is as good as a truly modern
gun? Do you carry an OLD gun design when
it would make more sense and be safer to
carry a modern one?

I would never carry a Club or a Sword or a Musket
or a 1911 Colt or a 1917 German Luger or even
a Gen. 4 Glock........they are simply not as safe
as a truly modern gun design. I wonder how
many are honest with themselves and agree
with me?

The old reliable 1911 is fine with me. It has always gone bang on every pull of the trigger and unlike the Boberg it has never separated the projectile from the case before the trigger was pulled and unlike the Rohrbaugh it does not care how hard the primer is or what brand the ammo is, it will feed and fire any brand of ammo.
  I have owned my Glock 19 since the early 80s. I have never carried it but it has never had a malfunction in over 30,000 rounds fired.
 My idea of a good carry gun is Reliability first and then fit, feel, ease of aiming and getting off an accurate second shot.

 I guess my question is what type of modern 100% reliable space blaster are you using ? 

Sometimes if it aint broke don't fix it.

I like some of each and am prejudicial to none: antique; middle-aged; or modern are all right with me.

[Richard S]

Forgive me, but the mention of antique firearms prompted me to retrieve this news story from archives:   

Ocala Star Banner, June 25, 2005

"Furious that their romance was ending, a 78-year-old great-grandmother shot her 85-year-old ex-beau to death as he read the newspaper in a senior citizens home, police said. 'I did it and I'd do it again!' Lena Driskell yelled to officers who arrived at the home June 10, according to testimony. Police said she was wearing a bathrobe and slippers, waving an antique handgun with her finger still on the trigger.

"She is accused of plotting the shooting of Herman Winslow because she was angry that their yearlong romance was ending and he had found another companion . . . ."

One time a guy with a single action Colt waxed me with my "Modern" Auto in a Bowling Pin shoot off; man on man.  He was fast!

As Richards 2005 story suggests, it's not necessarily WHAT you have, It's WHAT you can do with it!
