    After tossing around the Glocks and XDMs,both felt really good in the hand. I figured i just couldn't go wrong with a Glock
    So there i stand .40 guy..
    LGS 19 and 27 in hand
    Couldn't decide,I loved both.
    Picked up the 27 Gen3 that day,and ordered a 23Gen4 from from my FFL that will be here this week :)

    Took the 27 out yesterday,fed her some Federal JHP 180s and of course didn't skip a beat. About 50 rounds
    Very accurate,better then i can shoot,very snappy gun. Im pleased needless to say and I plan on buying a Lone wolf conversion also
    After a little research I believe a 19/26 is only capable of 9mm,but a 23/27 has options of 9mm,.357, and .40. Mostly why i steered for the 27.
    White lettered it,polished the barrel and controls too.
    I know some of yall wont like, but i think the gun looks great!
    Needs some night sights for sure!
    Will get some more pics of the 23 up when it arrives!

    Awesome firearms bro!! - FYI, the Glocks made in the U.S. are the same as ones made in Austria. Kinda funny that all the Glocks sold in the U.S. were made in Austria and the ones made in the U.S. are all exported to Austria. :dunno:

    Yes,you are right.
    They are becoming more common though. My buddy has a G19 Stamped USA.

    I like the look of the contrasting lettering. I have also failed miserably to get it to work on my guns! :( Just how did you do it? I'd like to letter my Glock AND a Taurus black revolver. I used silver touch-up paint in a bottle w/brush for my vehicle. It was really lame!

    Are you saying someone bought the guns for you... Then sold them to you... Or did you give them money to buy them for you?

    The 27 came from a buddy of mine brandnew that he had never been shot. So i made an offer and he bit.
    Being under 21, I cannot buy from a FFL myself. I can obtain handguns through a private sale or "gift".
    Told my dad order a G23,Now i dont know if its a early birthday or a private sale,im not sure whats best or if it matters at all.

    Tried buying a stripped lower from a guy here a while back and he wouldn't sell it to me.
    I told him i can buy private sale, guess he thought I was full of ****.
