Bought my fourteenth Glock today
I bought a VGC gen. II Glock 17 that appears to be unaltered.
Then I saw the $330.00 Shields....put a 9mm no safety model on lay a way. I can't keep toting my daughters.

I sold two to strangers, gave my son a 17, 19, 31 and sold him the 26 I bought last week. I only have eight now, LOL!

I'm holding steady at four. The "Timex" of the firearms industry. Kind of like an ugly girlfriend, not too many fellas after her, always there when you need her, and she never has a "headache"

If the grip angle works for you then the more the merrier. I can shoot them but don't enjoy it. When you look inside an M&P there is little difference but the ergonomics and land & groove rifling make the M&P work better for me. At least you have a bunch of pistols!

Glock's are excellent pistols but they aren't my cup of tea as I sold the 3 I owned and switched to Sig's.

It appears that you were able to make at least one good decision. 
Congrats on the Shield...............and the Glock.

You were forced to buy your latest Glock, because owning thirteen of them is just plain unlucky.

I'm so terribly sorry to hear of your addiction. I recommend group S&W therapy, and a shrink who will prescribe high-powered mind-altering drugs for regular use.
Oh, and here's mine. A 21 frame with Guncrafters .50GI slide assembly and barrel:

Very nice, Harkrader!
I've considered that set-up for my 21 as well. Do you reload at all for the 50GI? Reloading is really the only way I could afford to do any appreciable amount of shooting with something like the 50GI.
I've always liked the concept of that round. I'll bet it's fun to shoot!

I will extend to you my deepest sympathy 14 times, but you appear to be a slow learner.
Now, 25+ S&W revolvers I can fully comprehend, understand and agree with.

I dont think I can shoot one of those new fangled tupperware guns, I will stay with my collection of S&W real steel guns.

Glad for you someone has to own them congrats.
Now in 40 years when there life span is done are you going to replace them all? The cheap Tupperware products have taken over the used gun case in my lgs. There seems to be a higher turn over rate with these new space age plastic guns. Why?
