    Go ahead and buy it. I've had several Glocks and happily dumped (sold) them to willing knowledgeable buyers. Never lost any dollars on them but never had one I liked. Even the 21 I had was a *** and it was the best of the bunch.

    I'm a 1911 guy and I've owned several. I was looking at the 30 as a compact backup for my current full size. While on the hunt I came across an RIA compact used that looked like it just came out of the box, for $300. I'd have taken that 30 at $400 in a heart beat but the RIA ended my search.

    Only thing worng with the deal is it's a Glock. I keep buying the next gen, hoping I will ike taht one better, but never get really warm to them. Just remember, it's never about need, always want. That's how I ended up with another AR upper last month.

    Have you got it yet ??? Glocks are like Ugly Kids, they kinda grow on ya and usually turn out good members of the family. Especially in a 45.

    Think of it like saving a puppy from the pound. You know there are a lot of people who mistreat Glocks. .

    Good lord, seriously? Buy the thing, shoot it, if you don't like it, turn around and make a c-note on it at the next gunshow. I paid $500 for mine, almost brand new, and I only got two magazines! If you have the disposable cash, get it, you can always get your money back out of it.

    I love my 30. I was never a Glock guy either.

    Just a heads up, I decided against the Glock, I have owned Glocks in the past and gotten rid of them, I just can't get used to that grip. I think I showed considerable self restraint regardless of the prodding of you enablers here. I'll save my money towards that XDS.

    I'm impressed that you didn't buy it.

    Also, you came here expecting people to talk you *out of* buying a gun?

    What a show of restraint. It is expecially noteworthy in the face of all us enablers!

    I'm thinking about a RUGER SR-22 for "when I don't think I need a gun" type occasions. Three local shops: new at $325; new at $300; used at $250 (and his new price when he had one last week was $275.) I have lots of larger and more efficient caliber handguns...starts with a 4...BUT the little guy keeps calling my name.

    I guess GLOCKS are OK, but I hear they are h*** on brass.

    Night sights, gen 3 and 4 mags for $400 and you passed?

    That thing would have come home with me in a heartbeat and I already own one. I can't even touch a new one with my LEO discount for near that price.

    The good news is that the company here can help you to "justify" most any purchase, as long as it's one they would have made if they had the money and opportunity.

    I have managed not to keep hold of any Glocks myself. Don't get me wrong, they work just fine and all that, but I'm just not a fan of the ergonomics on the Austrian lego pistol.

    You've achieved something when you run into "a friend" at WAL MART who gives you multiple hugs and talks to you while her boy friend is glaring at both of you. You also give thanks that SWMBO was not with you that evening.
