    Default CCW.... Glock 23 .40, or Baby Deagle .40

    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.

    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...
