Some people love to hate 'em. Me? I just love to shoot 'em.

Current edc is a Glock 30SF carried in a High Noon Split Decision leather holster...



Cartridge: .45ACP
Action: Short recoil, locked breech, tilting barrel

The striker firing mechanism has a spring-loaded firing pin that is cocked in two stages, powered by the firing pin spring. When the pistol is charged, the firing pin is in the half-cock position. As the trigger is pulled, the striker is then fully cocked. At the end of its travel, the trigger bar is tilted downward by the disconnector, releasing the striker to fire the cartridge. The disconnector resets the trigger bar so that the striker will be captured in half-cock at the end of the firing cycle. This is known as a pre-set trigger mechanism, referred to as the "Safe Action" trigger by the manufacturer. The disconnector ensures the pistol can only fire semi-automatically.

The hammer-forged barrel has a female type polygonal rifling with a right-hand twist. The stabilization of the round is not by conventional rifling, using lands and grooves, but rather through a polygonal profile consisting of a series of six interconnected non-circular segments. Each depressed segment within the interior of the barrel is the equivalent of a groove in a conventional barrel. Thus the interior of the barrel consists of six smooth arcs of steel rather than six sharply defined slots. The method by which Glock barrels are rifled is somewhat unusual; instead of using a traditional broaching machine to cut the rifling into the bore, the Glock process involves beating a slowly rotating mandrel through the bore to obtain the hexagonal shape. As a result, the barrel's thickness in the area of each groove is not compromised as with conventional square-cut barrels. This has the advantage of providing a better gas seal around the projectile as the bore has a slightly smaller diameter, which translates into more efficient use of the combustion gases trapped behind the bullet, slightly greater muzzle velocities, increased accuracy and ease of maintenance.

Have any other pictures of this gun? I like the engraving on it!

That's not really engraving but the PSP emblem etched on the slide. The rest of the gun is just a basic black Gen4 M21. But I agree, that shield on the side is a plus.

BTW, there are a lot of these around. The PSP used the M21 for only about a year. I'm told they traded in nearly 5,000 slightly used M21s last hear. I bought the above example earlier this year at a LGS. It appeared unused - it came with the extra back straps, three magazines and the paperwork was still sealed in the envelope.

Awesome piece...beings I have a cousin in the PA State Police.

Thanks for sharing...

Added the LAV Glock 19 to my collection and it is now my EDC, the grip texture is amazing and love how well it hold in the hand either bare or with gloves on:

That's a good lookin' 19 !!
