Look what I turned a Glock 17 into!

Your deal could almost fall in the catagory of abuse of power under the color of authority. Dude, you stole that one. Guess which gun will hold its value? Not the glock. 17's are a dime a dozen. Enjoy that beast!

What loads were you shooting? Personally I have found that a good heavy .44 special is all I've ever needed. Yes I shoot full magnums but just like Harry Callahan said. . "I prefer light specials". After 30+ years of working with the .44, I know I have a lot more fun with the 900-1000 fps loads. I go to the heavy magnum hardcast when in big nasty bear country, but never found anything that I couldn't do with a good .44 special including some pretty good sized mule deer. Try them, you will like them. Congrats on a great deal. Makes me wonder why I keep my Glocks except I can't find a good replacement around here.

""It has been awhile since I shot a 44 Magnum and never with full bark stag stocks and a Tyler-T, so I did not know what to expect. It was still cool in North Georgia at 0905 this morning (range quite hours end at 0900), so I carefully aimed from the 15 yard line and let her rip. ""

I had a "friend" who owned a .44mg. Real cutesy fellow. We went into our favorite wooded place to shoot. I had never fired a 44, so I was a tad excited about it. My GOOD BUDDY told me to empty it out.

I was in my late teens, and couldn't wait. So I emptied it.
I have had ear splitting tinnitus ever since. I was completely deaf for two days, and scared to death I would never hear again.

I can hear " most " low sounds. But am missing out on a lot. Beware...use good ear cover.
