K.C.S.O. Glock 22

[appelingogt500]

Hi yall...first post here, and NO I own many S&W's, but I recently bought a used Glock(my first "Tupperware") and was told it was a police trade in...I've searched the internet over and cannot find what the heck K.C.S.O. stands for...any help would be appreciated.

It stands for K _____ County Sheriff's Office. No telling what county that starts with a "K" it came from. In Texas the following counties start with the letter K;

Karnes
Kaufman
Kendal
Kenedy
Kent
Kurr
Kimble
King
Kenny
Kleberg
Knox

Most small departments don't mark their firearms in such a manner (i.e., can't afford it), so from my CID experiance, a good place to start to determine where it came from would be the most populace county from those listed above which would likely have the largest sheriff's department. That would be Kaufman County, Texas.

Of course, I could be completely wrong and it came from a department in Nebraska.

Thanks...thought maybe there might have been a large stock bought at a well known "office" but I couldn't find any info...is there any place I can run a serial # check on it?

Call Glock they have always been helpful. There is a list I've seen in another forum where members have an extensive serial number list but I don't remember which glock one it is.

Looks like Knox County Sheriff's office, Tennessee. I have one that says Norfolk police

The etching is really hard to photograph for some reason so I'm going to borrow someone's good photos

People can say what they want about Glock's. I was issued a new Glock 22 in 1995 and I have to say it was an excellent pistol and totally reliable. I just wish I didn't have to turn it in when I retired. I'm quite sure your's will be an excellent shooter.

I live in Kitsap county, and we have a sheriffs department that goes by KCSO. Across the water is King County Sheriffs Office. So really, it could be from anywhere.

I am neither a Glock lover or hater- I know several people that carry them exclusively and are well protected. I bought a G17 back in 1986, which I had until 2004. I had a G29SF and a G20SF for about ten years, and the G20SF remains as my hiking gun. However, if Smith or Sig ever come out with a striker 10mm it goes up for sale.

I'm of the opinion that one should carry the Glock grip angle or the standard grip angle. When I draw and aim, the sights on my Smiths, Sigs, Springfield, and 1911s are more-or-less lined up with the target, but with the Glock I'm pointing way high- high enough to miss. The Glock requires major realignment to get the sights on target, then some more movement to fine tune. All the others require only tiny movements to fine-tune the front into the rear. If there isn't time to make a major readjustment and a fine tune, I stand a much higher chance of a miss. For ME it's one or the other, but not both. I know some people aren't bothered by it (or haven't considered it) so I'm not going to start bashing their guns, but I sure wish they had fixed that grip angle way back when people started complaining about it.

^^^^ that I never understood. Some grips are too thin, others too thick...that I get....but the grip angle is so minor I never understood how people even felt it. I draw my Glock and the sights are alined, I draw my 1911 or Sig and the sights are aligned!

I was issued a Glock 23 in the early '90s and it retired w/me in 1997. The agency range officer rebuilt it last year replacing all internal springs and such b/c something inside broke (it was jamming). I still have it and it continues to run great. All three mags are kept loaded and the springs still work fine.

I bought 2nd gen G22 from a Jackson County Missouri deputy..The dept was issued new pistols and he "bought" his duty weapon..I bought it later..

The Glock grip angle is more normal for anyone who has not "learned" the less-natural angle of most autos. One of the advantages that used to be touted about revolvers was that they pointed more naturally; the Glock points like that. I raise my hand with my eyes closed and my Glock's sights are on. I do the same thing with my High Power and they're not. There's no reason for Glock to change the angle.
