Actually Melanie bought it at the gun show today. Like I was going to stop her. She is really getting into this "black gun" thing, and this is her latest one. 2 Hi-Cap Mags. Cleaning accs. Mag. Loader, and of course she wanted the Nite Sights. I didn't bitch because they were only $80.00 more and are Trijicon's and are bright as all hell. It was worth it to just watch her carrying it around in her Camo shorts, bandana, and heels! I'll take her to the range tommorrow and let her blast with it. I've got a ton of .45 so ammo isn't a problem. I have to be the first to admit I never thought I'd ever see the day when I'd drop over half a grand on a plastic pistol, but when I picked this thing up it felt like I was holding the wrong end of a baseball bat. The only other guns I've got that fill my hands that way are my big double actions like the BFR's and my Super Redhawks. She's happy and that makes me happy, and we got another gun. Good day all around! Bill T.

We went shooting yesterday and between the both of us we put a little over 4 boxes thru it. It's really comfortable to shoot. Mel has large hands for a girl and she had no problems with the grip, which on a 21 is quite "fat". the gun ran flawlessly which is typically Glock. Accuracy was good, and the Trijicon Night Sights are nice in normal lighting conditions. Both mags fed good. We only used Federal FMJ American Eagle Ball ammo so I didn't shoot any open nose hollow points. Overall she really likes it as do I. It's easy to break down and clean which is nice. The trigger takes a little getting used to, but it's not bad once you settle in with it. She wants a couple of extra mags. and next weekend I'll call around and see who has them. It sure is easy to go thru ammo with those 13 round magazines! Bill T.

It is hard to do better than the Glock when it come to a self defense handgun.

Lucky guy that your misses is into guns thats awesome.
Never looked at a Glock yet and i'm going to take a peek at my next gun shop visit to see what this thing about Glocks is all about? Since i still want a pistol in 357SIG I may look for a Glock if they come in that caliber.

They are nice in most any caliber! I like the way they all now come with the molded in accessory rail up front. The bottleneck .357 Sig feeds great in an auto with plenty of knockdown power as well. Bill T.

The 357SIG 125gr bullet has the same ballastics as the 125gr 357mag. its definitely a good stopping round. Plus its a super sized 7,62x25 which i like the designs of the little bottle neck case too. I want to get something different and unique next in an auto pistol. I'll have to checkout the prices locally too thank's.
