This is one of the pistols I got in trade. I'm not a fan of Glocks, but this one sure is pretty. :)
Glock 19 Talo Gold Edition.

One of these, minus the muzzle attachment. ;D

I gather you did not like the FN?
-
jhs. Nice pistols, for sure!
-
I gather you did not like the FN?
Nope, not at all. I had more than one of the early models and the buyer wanted it more than I did. The nice cashiers check that went with the deal helped make up my mind. ;D
-

Yep, they are a blast to shoot. It's fun to ring steel at long range with a pistol. :)
I just moved the can to one of the newer models.

What is the difference between the older and new models - other then the price!

The older model has a different trigger guard shape, grip is checkered differently, no magazine safety, different rail system, low profile factory fixed night sight, and it just plain looks better. ;D
And like land, they don't make it anymore. ;D
-
The Five Seven has been on my want list for some time now. I bought the ammo first and now something keeps getting ahead of it.
-
I could have had one in a trade a couple of years ago but am not really attracted to them. They are fine guns just not for me.

I like the speed of that bullet and it's accuracy; and yes, capacity.

I do like the Talo G-19, very nice. :D

Yep. With the cash I bought another Five Seven and had some money left over.
Before anyone asks, I was not wearing a mask when I made the deal. ;D

It is pretty. But I'm not really a Glock guy and may sell it.
I do need a good holster for the R9S and some Silvertips. :)
-
jhs. For a holster, give Robert at Meco Holsters or Jim at Hidden Holsters a look;

For Silvertips, look at Sportsmansoutdoorsuperstore.com at $29.95 a box.

Thanks for the links. I appreciate it. :)

Pretty & Glock are not two words that I would use together but it is near perfection in form and function so if I were you I'd keep it, I've never had a hicup with mine. :)
-
if I were you I'd keep it
I've been thinking along that line.
As for pretty, with the polished slide, jeweled barrel, and gold trim, it's as close as Glock will ever get. ;D
-
The Glock look has to grow on you. I now like their looks; just one of those, get use to, things. :D
-
You can dress it up, put a shine on it, add a little gold trim, and at the end of the day it's still just a Glock. ;D
Sorry, comes from too many years of carrying a Sig as a duty weapon. :)
-
To me, just knowing the perfection, helps me to like the looks; at the end of the day, I'm glad it's a Glock! ;D
-
Glocks are meant to be ugly - if they weren't so hideous, I wouldn't be willing to do the things I do to them. ;D
I think they become a bit like old trucks, a bit of "weathering" improves them. (I'm a bit envious of my brother's G30 2nd gen, which has been splattered w. paint, and looks as if its been used as a chew toy by a dog.)
-

Well then this one missed the boat. ;D
-
Yes! ;D
-
Well it's off to Gunbroker for the Talo. We'll see what happens. ;D
-
In a few days I may put the NIB Stealth on Gunbroker. (http://www.runemasterstudios.com/graemlins/images/roflmao.gif)
-
jhs, if you do decide to sell the stealth, how about offering it in the classified section first? That would give the members first chance at it. After a few days, if no sale then offer it on GB. Be a nice gesture. Gene

Now that's a good idea. Several members here in the Classifieds have asked about Stealths. May be a good opportunity for a win, win situation. :)

Five boxes of 115gr Silvertips on the way. Now I just have to pick a holster. ;D
-
jhs. You must have decided to keep the Stealth.

Still trying to make up my mind.
If I sell it someone would get a package deal on the pistol, after market items, and now ammo. :)
-
jhs, keep it and you'll never look back ;D Tom

I will admit it is growing on me. ;D

I'm sure you've read here before, most folks who have one, want another, and it could even get worse; some kind of virus or something. ;)

So it would seem. ;D
I'm just recovering from the FN, Sig, and NFA versions of that sickness. ;D
-
Well the Glock sold for $725 shipped. ;D
Now what do I need next? ;D
-
I'm sure you have a plan! ;D Get a Robar! :D
-
At my age, I've been through the various stages of acquisition and divestiture of firearm ownership. I am now down to the stage of wanting to own only the best of each of the various type of firearms I want to have in my collection. The reach for that goal continues to exceed my grasp. But that is a good thing. After all, the quest is in many respects more enjoyable than achievement of the goal itself.
-
I'm sure you have a plan!
No, not really. But i'm sure something will turn up. ;D

Well at my age.
We'd better not go there. ;D
-
You might try one of these that are being imported again; your sale will cover the price quite well.

When those Steyers first came out they were priced so right.
It just melted in my hand. I liked everything about it- almost.
I just could not get past the slick feeling of the grip. :P It was like the grooves did nothing for the grip purchase.
So I passed.
Now I kind of regretted it, prices have gone up, and I could have sent it to Robar for a grip enhancement for the difference in cash. :'(
-
Those slick grips look like a good candidate for 3M tape which I like but turns up the noses of some grip purists.
-
Never heard of the Steyrs, however, seems interesting.
-
I'm sure you have seen or heard of the Steyr AUG.
http://www.steyrarms.com/products/sporting-rifles/steyr-aug-z/
-
You're right. Just wasn't thinking of it in a pistol. Brain didn't connect. ;)
-
I'd perfer a Glock over one of them, and you see what happened to the Glock. ;D
-
So, just roll it over.
-
Thinking about another suppressor. ;D
-
That's a good idea! ;)

Sometimes ya gotta do.....
Hate to admit it, but I have some on a custom Hi power and on a stock CZ. as Ghetto Checkering.

Speaking of "bling" on a Glock, check out this G22:
http://www.collectorsfirearms.com/admin/product_details.php?itemID=16707
As Brenden will attest, I am not averse to a little "bling" on my guns. However, who would have thought to add full coverage scroll engraving to polymer?
-
Different, but a little much for my taste.

Quite different, for sure! Now, I like Glocks, but for me, just doesn't fit. That's why we like different things, though.
