Glock for function right?


I like the Deagle, but cant think of why I would want one over a glock.....


What would you do!!??!!

I know my Baby Eagles (steel frame, full size) are a pain in the ass. Literally. They weigh a ton. Even with a good holster and belt, they are not ideal for all day carry. A compact .40 with a polymer frame would be better. As far as advantages of the Glock over the comparable Deagle, it would all come down to personal preference. The Glock would certainly have a huge advantage in terms of holster and accessory availability.

after working on a couple desert/baby eagles, and shooting them, I would definitely go with a glock. As tfogger said, they feel clunky in the hand, and THEYRE HEAVY! good shooters, but I'd never carry one. just my opinion, buy a glock 23.

hope this helps,

I actually like the way they fit my hand (I have a 9mm and a .45), but the frame must be an alloy of lead, neutronium, and tungsten. [LOL]

I found exactly 1 holster maker that had any type of good concealment options (Kramer) for 'em. I can conceal them effectively, and for a few hours they're not bad, but after much more than that I start to limp and list to the right...

According to IMFDB (http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/American,_The) its a Walther PPK.

The SIG P230 Mathilde carried would be a better choice (or a P232, since they don't make the P230 anymore).

LOL yea.

I am just a redneck wrapped in hippy thats all.

I am very Liberal when it comes to critters and the natural world.

other than that, i distance myself from those who call themselves "liberal" a good deal.

its like I tell my dad,

"Id rather be a conservative nut job, that a liberal with no nuts, and no job"

I carry a Glock 23 for my CCW and I love it. I know there are a lot more holsters available for the Glock in comparison to the Baby Eagle. It all boils down to what will work best for you. [Luck]

Racking gun with finger on trigger. There is yet ANOTHER one on that page with Clooney grabbing the gun by its trigger. No wonder they want them banned. They might 'just go off' for no reason.[Stooge]
