RIP……

Resistance is futile- I didn’t like the loom or feel of Glocks for a long time ; was a true 1911 guy. When I got bit by the big it was a hard bite . Sold a semi custom 1911 and bought 2 police trade in Glocks ; and then shot the snot out of them - and then bought 2 more - and then 2 more . Currently have 3 Glocks and 2 clones - well I guess 3 clones .

I’ve a real appreciation for things that just work - and I love that my guns of same caliber take same mags.

Enough of my rant - Rest in peace Mr. Gaston

I like the simplicity. They are fighting machines to me. The ones I have owned, simply run……

Died in the wool 1911 guy. My cupboard gun is a Glock. RiPIP.

RIP.

I hope that unlike your generic pistols, you have a soul

He has a clone that's 20 years younger.....still looks EXACTLY like him.

Man lived a good life...billionaire weapons maker with a hot wife and once survived an assignation attempt from a french mercenary by punching him into submission...

Glock divorced the wife that stood by him before he was anything. He married what would today be called a thot. And he cut his kids out of his inheritance. He invented a fine handgun, but he was an A grade douche nozzle.

I wonder if she would humor a dirty HK fetish? She might after feeling how nice the trigger is on a VP 9 compared to a Glock.

I am a died in the wool Sig guy but my EDC is a Glock 26 because it is lighter. If I can't avoid going to a bad area I carry both the Glock 26 and a Sig P220 compact.

[168BTHPM]

If I carry something in the Lord's caliber it's going to be a Sig P220 not a single action trench gun.

This is interesting. I never heard he was a Nazi, or at least conscripted into the Wehrmacht during WWII.
