Glock

It's the Honda Civic of handguns. It's very basic and nothing to really brag about, but it gets the job done. Stock Glocks are definitely not worth telling your range buddies about. The real show is modifying and upgrading. If you want a match-grade trigger, you can do a ten-cent trigger job or buy a new trigger. If you want a match-grade barrel, you can buy one for as little as $100. If you want tritium sights, buy them, then it's easy to install. The aftermarket for Glock (especially Gen 3) is so strong that you can buy custom-made frames and tacticool parts. Glock 19s are one of the most popular concealed carry handguns in the United States. It's basically the benchmark for modern concealed carry handguns. The Glock 44 (a .22LR) is absolute shit. Don't buy one. They have a tendency to blow up.
