Friday Gun Pr0n #49

Okay. I *should* be posting pictures of last week's gun show trophy.


Note operative word "should". This week, however, I've got to post something special:



This is a Glock model 22, the full-size .40 S&W version. It's the infamous "Glock Foh-tay" of the "I'm the only one professional enuff" video (No, not the exact gun, but the model). They're becoming as common as S&W model 10s back in the day, as they're the go-to gun for a lot of police departments around the country. Used models, many with less than 50 rounds a year through them, show up used for stupid cheap money (except in the Volksrepublik, but that's a RCOB for another time).

So what's so special about this gun? Simple.

It's Matt's first handgun. And he's chosen to share it with me. I posted a rather lengthy reply to Matt's request for info on a handgun a while back, and it appears that he's taken (some of) my advice to heart (the model 22 is a good mix of stopping power, ammo capacity, and availability. IMHO a little big for CCW, but not out of the question). To say I'm touched would be putting it mildly (and no comments from the peanut gallery adding "in the head", either...).

Welcome to the wonderful world of handgunners, Matt. Shoot it well, and practice, practice, practice...

That is all.
