Glock 21

I got myself a new toy today. It's a Glock 21, the standard 45 cal version. I didn't get any ammo, so I'm really only a threat if I beat you with it. :)

The line at the range was almost an hour, so I'm skipping that for today. I'm heading out tomorrow while everyone else is watching the superbowl.

cool.
All 21's are .45's.
=P
By standard, do you mean it's the regular 4" barrel? It almost looks like the 5" from your picture. Had I known you were getting something new (Trade Center gun show? Jonesboro one? or a store?) I'd've invited you up to the range. two other friends made new purchases and then we went to break them in. Let me know if you want to be on the notify list for next time. I want to see how a brand spanking new one (Glock) fires.

I went to the gun show down on Jonesboro Road by the airport.

I'm planning to head to the range tomorrow. I figure SuperBowl Sunday will be a slow day. :) Definitely let me know the next time you are headed to the range. This is my first gun, but won't be the last.

Which range do you go to?

We were up at the Eastman show at the North Ga Trade Center. It tends to be far larger than the one down in Jonesboro (though I honestly didn't know there was one down there today).

I go shooting mainly at American Classic Marksman on Peachtree Industrial, a bit north of 285. Just because that's where I started shooting first (and where I bought the 642, thus receiving about 5 coupons good for free range time, so yay free!). I've also been to Ga Range and Gun near the State Farmers Market, but they charge by the hour instead of a flat fee for range time and their ammo is pricier. But they're nice enough.

And yeah, they're totally fucking addictive. Oh shiny! me want.

What did you pay for it? I was considering that very piece.

Hey, that's awesome. If I didn't already have plans with Katherine, I'd invite myself along. I've got a .357 that I'm just dying to shoot, but I haven't gotten around to going to the range yet.

I'll probably be heading back to the range pretty frequently until I get used to this one. You are always welcome to come along.

If you're heading to a range that can handle rifles, give me a yell. I picked up a box of 8mm a few months back and I want to put a few rounds through the K98.

It can. We will probably head up there around 3-5pm or so. Got to move the little brother first.

Sounds like a plan

I didn't get any ammo, so I'm really only a threat if I beat you with it.

When you put the sign in the yard of your new place, you might want to leave off that part.
