My Confession

[mser]

Forgive me fellow KahrTalk bretheren for I have blasphemed against the mighty Kahr. Subsequent to a most rewarding range session with the PM9 today, I made the fatal mistake of visiting the showroom of the store. The "serpent" spoke to me from across the room and laid the foundation for temptation from which I was powerless. The power of the dark side was much too strong to resist, try as I might. I have no clear recollection of the events as they occurred, however I now find myself assimilated by the Glock Collective and have assumed the identity of Gen 4 number 26. Luckily I have the ability to morph into multiple personalities, therefore the PM9 will not be lost to memory but simply required to move over and make room for a new addition.

Congrats! Nice. I too have been feeling a disturbance in the force of late and its name is Darth Glock XIX. I can't seem to stop thinking about adding one to the collection. I toss and turn at night thinking, Glock 19, second Sig P250 compact, or save my pennies for a Sig P229 or worse a new Sig M11-A1 (basically a P228).

Too many guns, not enough money.

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww

Dang! you guys have ME thinking about another danged 9mm... right after I bought the P9 and a ported barrel. I keep thinking about a HIGH Capacity, somewhat compact 9mm... the G19. At least I can get it ported and put Trijicon HD Night Sights on it! I never wanted a Glock... but 15+1(?) sounds pretty good for another pistol for my wife!

I just ordered a ton of ammo... again. My wife just had dental work Saturday... $715! I just spent over twice that on MORE ammo... again! I'm going to have to talk to her about those danged questionable dental repairs! Next Saturday may be the last chance to add to our armory!

I must admit that the dark side got me recently as well. I have a couple of Kahrs but a voice kept talking to me about higher capacity. I am now an owner of a Glock 19 AND a Glock 23...both Gen 4. The Force really got a hold in this weak minded individual....oh well....I love them. They make great additions to my collection.

Nice pick up. I have the Gen2.5 G26 & love it. Mine came with 2 10-round mags & I added 2 15-round mags to the arsenal. Hard to beat the versatility of the Glock family. Enjoy!

[chrish]

I kept the Glock side, er dark side, at bay earlier this year w/ the purchase of a Sig P250. Tremendous gun for around $400-$450. At around $100 more, the Glock 19 is a great 15 rounder too. I've been looking for one, not seriously, but the current lay of the land have pushed them upwards of 650+. And mags, forget about it. They are STUPID expensive.

I pretty much gave up and just picked up more mags for my P250 for the time being. If I run across a good deal on a G 19, might snag it, but more likely than not...I'll just end up w/ a nuther P250. It's just dreamy to shoot, if you like smooth full pull DAO.

Magazines for the G19 seem scarce. I've got my XD45 and 12 "standard" mags, but one more 9mm with great capacity might be nice for wifey! I saw a compensated one online for $589+3% for CC + shipping, but mags are hard to find. I guess I'll just leave it to chance until this Saturday and the minor gun show here. Something tells me it will be busy! I'll try to be flexible! I was thinking about an XDS so I could get the Trijicon HD NS, but that's another LOW capacity pistol that I have plenty of.

Just feeling a little like TEOTWAWKI is at the doorstep! Money won't be worth as much as guns, bullets and food/water, etc. You'll need plenty of the first two to get or hang onto the last stuff... and they are good for barter, too.

While I'm not that into Glockage I do feel the pull of a Beretta 92. Specifically the Centurion inox.

I have my battle pistol... the XD45 Tactical with Trijicon HD NS and love it, but it's a huge cannon... not for CCW. I kind of would like to get something like the G19 for my wife... 15+1... kind of a smaller "battle pistol" for her... maybe ported. She doesn't really like any of them... says the 9-shot H&R .22 revolver is plenty... with 9 Stingers loaded. Her training was with the S&W M15 with adjustable sights. That's what we had for aircrews and the command post... along with the 12-ga Rem 870 in Europe for the command posts. Aircrews had shorter barreled revolvers the whole time I flew. The Berettas came in later.

I'm not really into Glocks, either, too blocky, but they work reliably and it's easy to find parts and mags, etc., except for THIS shortage!

I picked up a Gen 3 Glock 26 about a year and a half ago used from a friend. It's place of residence is in the garage in a jacket pocket or in a M/C saddle bag. It's a good gun and shoot it pretty well but it's not one of my favorites.

[ripley16]

My older son carries a G26. He likes it alot. I admit, I shoot it quite well and could go for one if my HK ever broke. I've had a G17 for years but almost never shoot it. I just never liked it much. The grip and I don't mesh like those of some other guns I do like. The G26 is the exception. Maybe that hanging pinky has something to do with it.

While I'm not that into Glockage I do feel the pull of a Beretta 92. Specifically the Centurion inox.

My 92fs of choice is the Vertec model. The grip suits my hand better. The action is so glassy smooth... ahhh, perfect. The INOX 92s are beautiful guns IMHO.

[itsthelaw]

A single stack Kahr and a double stack is the perfect diversity in your carry options. I just prefer the S&W M&P line. I have matching CM9s and matching M&P9cs. I have 6 17 rd mags for the M&P with the grip extension, so the gun can pose as a 9c or a 9 full size. One of them is next to my bed.

[JFootin]

For me, the G19 has too chunky a grip. Great gun. Versatility, parts availability and selection of hi cap mags are plusses, too. But I went for the Walther PPQ 9mm when a batch of them became available last fall, and I sure am glad I did! I got it at a great price. Now, availability is scarce and prices have gone thru the roof. The PPQ is every bit as robust and dependable as the Glock, it is the champion of ergonomics with a grip that works for me and large fore and aft slide serrations to aid in racking, the factory trigger is superior to expensively customized Glock triggers, and it has all controls ambi including the dual paddle mag releases like the HKs (I'm a lefty). The gun is a tack driver. Right now, availability of guns and parts is thin during the transition from S&W to Walther America, but they will be up and running in a month or so. Some people think the PPQ is ugly. I think it is beautiful because my engineer's mind understands the reason for every feature.

confession

Fortunately, I don't have to confess,or deal with the 9MM temptation. Six years ago I was smart (lucky) enough to be seduced by a beautiful CZ75; IMHO still the finest full sized 9MM on the planet. So my decision to fill my 9MM compact gap with my second Kahr, a CM9, is a simple choice without guilt or remorse
