1 O'Glock, 2 O'Glock, 3 O'Glock Rock!

As some of you may know I am about to start my second module at the police academy. This is the block were we are going to get to do a lot of the hands on stuff, and a lot of shooting. I have been looking for the right firearm for quite some time. I have been told by most people to buy a Glock 22 which is a full sized .40 Caliber(Cal) handgun. The Glock is carried by more than 80% of police departments in the state of Utah, and most of them use the model 22. I have shot one these before and really did not like it. It felt large, and uncomfortable to me. I liked the Sig-Sauer and the HKs much better. I also really liked the 9mm handgun better.






Walther PPS the gun I almost got


On our recent trip to St George my mother agreed to buy my handgun as an early birthday gift; provided I do all of the leg work. While were in St George I took my brother in-law Jonny to shop for my new hand gun. We looked at most of the stores in town. I still had not really made up my mind, and to make matters worse there was a Walther gun that I just loved. I have a Walter PPK that I just love, and I liked the idea of sticking with a manufacturer I knew. When it came time for my mother and I to go shopping we went to place that had all of the models I had looked at seriously and the best prices. While we were there a St George City Police Officer told me to try the Glock model 19 which is a smaller 9mm Glock. It already had the night sites on, was brand new, and came with one extra magazine. It was the one that came home with me. We headed out that evening and tried it out. I was really pleased and think I will do well with it.
