well yeah, but there's always the range and the bragging rights...until that undercover, from the next lane over, shows up asking about your toys....that's the part that concerns me...the american men who act like old chinese ladies narcing off the neighbors to the politburo, as if they're gonna get another smiley face on their permanent records
fun is usually curtailed by those who are too scared to live
i get the safety and legality things...but once i was 'proven' when i took that oath, why must i carry on, throughout the rest of my life as if 'they' don't know anything about me?
Well, yea. To you maybe. You don't want to waste it only because you bought the ammo YOU use with your own money.
Inner-city gangsta wannabes don't care about wasting some ammo because either they stole it to begin with, or they stole the money they used to buy it.

Real shooters know this. The people doing this crap in the cities aren't real shooters and probably do not spend much time practicing the art of shooting.

Are Glock's recent lawsuits and abrupt pistol redesign self-inflicted?
Premiered 14 hours agoI’m a longtime Glock owner, so this isn’t Glock-bashing — it’s honesty. Glock tried to impress politicians by supporting anti-gun legislation, and those same statements were later used against them in court. Now they’re dropping some of their most popular pistols and rolling out “safer for politicians” redesigns.
Glock forgot who built their brand — not the government, not the anti-gun crowd, but everyday 2A supporters. In trying to please politicians, they ended up hurting themselves and their own customers.

The Real Reason Glock 19 Dominates
Feb 23, 2026In this video, we take a closer look at why the Glock 19 has become one of the most dominant and enduring handguns in modern history.
It isn’t hype. It isn’t marketing alone. And it isn’t just brand loyalty. The Glock 19 hit a balance point that few firearms ever achieve — size, capacity, reliability, shootability, and versatility all in one package. Over time, that balance made it the default choice for law enforcement, civilians, instructors, and competitive shooters alike.
We break down the real reasons behind its dominance, why it continues to outperform trends and fads, and what lessons other manufacturers have taken from its success. This isn’t about declaring it perfect — it’s about understanding why it became the benchmark.

Is Glock gonna become American contraband, I wonder?
Seems we're following the Tobacco Settlement path to lawfare them into oblivion. So that only invaders and smugglers can have effective personal weaponry.

This Weird Silenced Glock-Mag Folding Gun Actually Works
Jun 30, 2026 #TFBTVIs the Kel-Tec SUB2000 CQB the poor man’s MP5SD? James Reeves takes Kel-Tec’s folding, integrally suppressed 9mm PCC to Thunder Ranch to find out.
In this review, we test the SUB2000 CQB with subsonic and supersonic ammo, chrono the results, shoot it suppressed, run it with Glock-pattern magazines, test the folding optic system, and even stretch it out to 200 yards. The gun does not magically slow supers to subs like an MP5SD, but it does something almost as interesting: it folds, runs, stays cool, sounds good with subs, and costs a whole lot less than the classic German option.
