If you had to do it over again...
If you were to start buying Glocks over again, would you start with what you have now or would you go in a different direction? For me I am really liking this Glock 23. If I where starting my collection today I think I would replace all my 22's with the 23. Then I would go with the 27. What say you? If you were starting over, what would you do?
I'm not planning on selling anything, I thought it would be fun to see where people would go with this after having some experience.

I would keep it the same. I started with the G23 then recently I picked up a 27. I love both. The 23 is a good introduction to Glock. It has that power of the .40 cal round with out the snappiness of a 27. It's more concealable than the 22. All around it's a winner. I think I'll get a 19 next.

Good topic.
A while back I did a very close head to head comparison of a G17 and a G34. In fact, I even swapped trigger components between the two models to get the comparison as close as possible. I ended up going with the 17 at the time because I was faster on target with it. However, I later used a GSSF certificate to get a G34. Upon spending time with it, it has made the G17 somewhat the odd gun out as I shoot my 19 better than my 17 and have come to like the 34 better than the 17.
I jumped into the GAP getting a 37 and a 38 at the same time. Doing it over again, I'd probably get the 39 over the 37.

If I could start all over again there are lots of things I would do different. But I can't so no need in going into it all

Got a OD G23 first, then a OD G27. I wouldn't change a thing. The next ones I want are a Gen4 G35 and Gen4 G20 when/if they come out.

Great idea for a topic.
Even though I keep reasoning that with proper loadings that my Glock 22 does offer the greatest amount of practical versatility(for me, not everyone), I have a nagging habit of wandering back into the "what-if" world & ping ponging between the Glock 17 &, particularly, the 21; the "what-if" surrounding the Glock 17 is more around how poorly I may shoot the medium, higher velocity loads that typically make up the selection of target loads for the .40 (in other words, it's the result of a bad day at the range
) while as for the 21, the idea of the larger, softer shooting "American .45" in a more filling grip sturs some interest.
However, as one can see, these "what-if's" are generated more of interest than experience & facts. With the 21 being thicker & heavier unloaded than even my 22 with a 1.6 ounce Tungsten guide rod, especially when dealing with a fully loaded high capacity .45, a skinny guy like me has some concerns of how comfortable it would be for concealed carry. As for the 17, I simply am not a fan of the 9mm(such as the "pop" of it's recoil[even though I seem to be able to shoot it more accurately than the medium .40 loads I mentioned earlier]) outside of just wanting something to go "bang" that's less expensive & more than a .22 for target shooting.
So in the end, I can't say that I regret my choice or would prefer another by the end of the day.
BTW: Before someone suggests the Glock 30 if I am concerned with size & weight, I am simply more comfortable with full size handguns.Last edited by IIMoses740II; 09-20-2010 at 01:57 PM.

No, I don't think I would have done anything different. I just keep adding to the collection. I do try to shot them all regularly on a bi-weekly time frame.

I don't thing I would do anything differently, except get a Glock 22 sooner. The next one will be a 26.
Great thread. Thanks

I started out with a 21sf and added an Advantage Arms 22 conversion kit to it. Next I bought a 27 to carry. I added a 40-9 conversion barrel & mags & then bought a 357sig conversion barrel. I think I would do the same thing over if I had the chance to do it again. Next thing I do is buy a 10mm barrel & extractor for the 21sf so I can shoot 10mm. That would give me the ability to shoot 22LR, 9mm, 357sig, 40S&W, 45acp & 10mm out of 2 Glocks. Not too shabby!!!

I would probably do things exactly the same again... My first purchase was a Glock 17... My next is to be a G19 followed by a G34 or possibly a G35...
