I think they might be phasing that out as I have seen it everywhere on sale. Even places that don't usually carry Ranger SXT have it.

For me, and IMHO I like more mass in my bullets.

My shelf stocks 147, 180 and 230.

I am sure someone else will jump in and prove me wrong!

That is second generation stuff. The current 4th generation is very hard to find in the civilian market. Only a few people seem to have access to it.

I got a really great deal as well, after all taxes and fees I paid $496.38. I can't wait to get out and put a few hundred rounds through it. After I left the gun shop I went by Wally World and picked up a box of WWB 100 rounds for 21.88. Is that the going rate at all Wally Worlds? I can't wait, my buddy has a ranch where he has a bunch of targets set up. I will keep you all posted on what I think after I take it out for some range love. Oh, another question; what are some good sights to upgrade to from the stock ones?

I'm confused...you havent already got your first gun, and you already have a CCW???

Well, I picked up my new G22 today. Can't go to the range till Friday though . Spent all night at the emergency room last night (my 9 mo. old has RSV and Bronchiolitis). So between work and helping the wife my schedule is full. But on Friday my bestfriend and I are definitely going to put several hundred rounds down range and I can not wait.

I like my G23. It's a lot like your G22, but it's got a little more recoil and muzzle flip than your g22 will have. Another way to think of the GLOCK trigger is that is kind of like a DAO LDA without a restrike capability... The trigger pull will feel the same every time you pull the trigger. It won't be as heavy as a typical DA pull but not as light as a typical SA pull.

Congrats on your new Glock. I too am a fan of the .40 Short& Wimpy, but only when I need to carry a Sub Compact. Since my personal preference in manufacturer doesn't build a 3" .45, it was a good compromise.

I love the trigger on my Glock. The first round requires a full motion, but after that you only need to release the trigger just slightly until you feel a little click. At that time the trigger is reset and ready to be pulled again.

I was recently at the range with a friend of mine who also has a Glock and he was complaining about his lack of accuracy. He was blaming it on the short barrel on his G27. I noticed he was releasing the trigger all the way after each shot. I told him to keep it depressed after the first shot, reacquire his target, and then release just slightly until he felt the click of the trigger resetting and then fire again. He was pretty happy with his accuracy after mastering the technique. I know this is probably nothing new to most Glock people. Just thought you might want to give it a try.

I am the proud owner of a Glock 22 as well. Just picked it up last week. Already put 200 rounds through it. Excellent handgun, very simple and efficient. I can see why the CIA & DEA issue them to their agents.

Simple, efficient... reasonably accurate in the m22... very accurate in the m21... works under really harsh conditions... and ugly as sin... i only have 7 of them... cause ugly is as ugly does...

Uh, yea! Wassup with that?

I wondered that myself when I first read the post but figured I must not be understanding something.

This MAY be a county issue. Up until recently, in EDCo, if you had your ser# you could add the gun. I did it myself. I could actually see some of the "shall issue" counties issuing even if you don't have a gun, IF they like looking at their numbers.

Thanks 1buba, I was confused also. I guess it could make sense that way. But then would you have to borrow a pistol? Some states like Arizona don't list your pistols, so I guess that you could carry a pistol that isn't your own. Its just hard to imagine in California.

In Humboldt County it is permitted to use a weapon that is not your own to qualify and to have on your CCW.

It is most common among married couples. The weapon is registered to one spouse but qualified on by both and included on both CCWs.

Thanks,
