New pistol time help me decide

[Shawn Braquet]

So I'm gettin a pistol to keep in the truck, definitely getting another 9mm so I don't have to keep 2 different caliber's ammo around. I really like the Px4 storm in the olive green, but haven't talked to anyone that's had one as far holding up. Also have my eye on the XDM and glock, but really just looking at the glock due to the fact that this gun will spend a lot of time in my boat when I'm in the marsh as well. So basicly I want a sweet looking 9mm that can handle saltwater and can fit in my console.:help:

glock 19, and never look back.

I was looking at the glock and XDM a few months ago when i was wanting a pistol. I really like the feel of the XDM over the glock. That's all the input I have though, I ended up putting off the purchase for a little while.

[Shawn Braquet]

I like the feel of the Px4 but know nothing about the gun otherwise, I do however like the dependability of the glock!

Glock 19

[LaAngler]

I have the model 32, accurate, light, and goes bang everytime.

[LPfishnTIM]

glock 19, and never look back.
got one and its the best gun I have, I also have a glock 22 that I reload for. love it. I had a springfield xd 9mm it was a good gun I liked the trigger and accuracy. I'm not a beretta or s&w fan in semi-auto. GLock 17 can supposedly shoot after being submerged under water, never tried it, but maybe one day I will.

[LPfishnTIM]

also GLock armorers are at every pawn shop, and gun store, Beretta, ruger, s&w, springfield has to be sent to factory for warrantied repairs, Glocks you can find parts anywhere and can be fixed easily thats one reason I bought 2. I'm planning on getting some night sights pretty soon and a 3.5ld connector.

Most all Law Enforcement have swithched over to glocks. I carry one and have shot hundreds of rounds through mine without cleaning and never had a malfunction. There is less metal on these guns which means less rust also.

[Kenner18]

Glock 19 in my opinion . I had two of them and loved them. Parts are easy to get from the glockstore.com

[Shawn Braquet]

Well i went and looked at both the XDm and glock 19, i really like the longer grip on the XDm, but like the reputation of the glock

[meathauler]

You can get a extension for the glock handle. They also make a rubber grip handle so that the grip wont slide in your hand if needed. I know alot of people that put them on.

[LaAngler]

the longer the grip the more it can print with a IWB holster also, you may end up carrying it sometime never know.

[mcjaredsandwich]

can never go wrong with a glock

Shawn, might want to be very careful carrying in your truck since you work in a plant. I would hate to see you lose your job if they do a search on company property and find it. Better check the rules on weapons in vehicles on company grounds first.

[cmdrost]

based on what you said in your first post, get the glock. Look on youtube, videos of glocks being buried in sand or water and still firing. Very dependable gun.

what i meant to say raymond is when im not going to work:smokin::smokin:

[southern151]

Shawn, I have the PX4 .40 and love it. That sucka will let em off as fast as you can squeeze the trigger. I've shot several boxes of ammo through it and not one hang up. I bought it for the feel of the pistol as well. It fits my hand and that was enough for me. Also, Beretta been making firearms for a good while too and have a solid reputation. Also, very accurate for me and I'm not a great shot when it comes to pistols. ...Or rifles. ...Or shotguns but, you get the point!:*****::*****:

Our company policy says no fire arms on company property also.
But the State of La. passed a law permitting people to carry a gun to work for protection, but have to leave it in the vehicle.
So now we don't have to figure out how to hide it so good.
I only carry for personal protection after Katrina. Driving thru NOLA when I do during prime shooting time made me start toting one. Before Katrina, I had no issues.

I think [????].....I remember some talk that some companies still do not allow a gun to be brought in side the fence of there plant. They allow [by law] that guns in the parking lot outside the fence....is ok.

Not inside the fence. So you need to know your company restrictions.

[Will"E"Fish]

Glock 17 been my barking dog in my boat for about 5 years.

[Hopedale Hustler]

Let's not sell a xdm short here...amazing gun got one in 9mm also but my glock never leaves my side...

[Shawn Braquet]

from what i hear the XDM just doesnt have the rep power of the glock due to less time on the market, still thinking I like the XDM more but going to look into the aftermarket parts for the glock that y'all speak of before buying.

[LaAngler]

either one will be fine, you really shouldn't need anything except spare mags and ammo.

When I get my bonus in March.....I am going to Hebert Guns in Prairieville.....

I do have the XD in .45 ACP, by far the most accurate auto I've ever shot.
