$225 For A Glock? What Glock Did I Get? kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5rOl5WOq62riJo

[@Abclyfestyle]

Keyboard warrior here, Just some antiquated junk. 45 acp literally 120 years old. 9mm 122 years old 40 s&w 35 years old. In its prime. Ready to rock. Haters will say its not

[@cobia224...]

@Abclyfestyle Anything starting with a 4 is my preference, but a 9mm works too. ... Hell, I even on occasions, throw a 380 in my pocket..🤣🤣

[@BlueRidgeCritter]

Oh, I can't resist a good keyboard warrior battle. Try this one on... The 45 and the ubiquitous "Two World Wars" that you guys like to tease us about - I offer the question, which were the last wars that we actually won? Think about that one. Coincidence? I agree with you about the 40, I love it, and I carry it quite often. Yes, it's less powerful than the 10 mm, but it's also a much smaller pistol that I can shoot it out of. I would love to see it make it come back, I sure do know a lot of people that still love it... I think the manufacturers are just trying to force the issue because of government contracts. 9 mm is still anemic by any standard. Everybody has this huge hardon for it because the FBI went to it, and the military. But here's the hidden secret that nobody talks about, or notices really when they do: in order to get that performance that everybody says is "just as good" as everything else, you have to use a duty length barrel, amd +P or +P+ ammo. If you look at the details of what many police departments carry, the FBI, and even the military, they are all using hot loads for their 9mm. And if you listen to the actual experts in the field, they do say it but nobody seems to get excited about it. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate it, I carry it like everybody else. And it is cheaper, no argument. And I agree that it's easier to control. But it is only a reliable manstopper in the right configuration, everything else is just getting lucky. I also think that the 357 sig will always be the the classic broken heart love story about the one that got away. A 9mm bullet in a 40 cartridge is a good combo. Fun fact - there was also a 40 super, which is a 40 bullet in a 45 cartridge, another absolute beast. I like 10 mm, but the pistols have to be so bulky to handle it...

[@BlueRidgeCritter]

[@deucedeuce1572]

Hard to compare 45acp to 9mm though... when .45 has consistent hydrostatic shock and 9mm has zero (and just pokes holes like a .22lr, .25acp or .32acp). The holes poked by a 9mm and a .32acp are about identical in size too. The holes can't be distinguished between the two without having a bullet to prove the caliber. That's literally how small 9mm wounds are. A .45acp with 6rds really does outperform a 9mm with several more rounds. Yeah, it may not be a 40SW or a 10mm... but the .45acp is still a much more powerful round than 9mm.

[@adamsabo704]

I've had a G36 for years (almost a decade). It's my travel gun when I fly. I have a case club (TSA approved) case that is specifically made for the gun. It holds 3 additional magazines (4 with one in the gun. Mine does not have a rail so I put a viridian reactor 100 lumen light (came with an IWB holster) on it. It also has night sights on it, making it an amazing total carry package. Highly recommend this pistol .

The 36 is a fine pistol. Especially at the price you found that one. Easy buy. However, a Shield45 or Glock30SF would fit that bill better for me. But the 36 is definitely in between those 2 in size and capacity. Nothing beats the Shield40 w/ a 357Sig barrel for my carry dollar. Pocket cannon.

[@22MAG]

In the 20 years ive been carrying I’ve been all over the spectrum of carry pistols. From full size 1911s to 2 shot derringers and I’ve finally settled back down into a Glock 42 for 24/7 all day everyday carry. Owned one 3 years ago and sold it and now I’m back. That being said, I also owned a Glock 36 and I later traded for a Belgian ak74. Now that I got my 42 back if there’s one other gun I regret getting rid of it was the 36. Odd, but just personal preference. With a spare mag all it’s gotta do is get me TF outta where I’m at. I’ve got higher cap guns but my 2 favorites will always be the 36 and 42. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@appalachianpatriot1796]

The one thing that bothers me most-the grip. The 29 30 and 36 are a bit longer than the 26/27 but not enough for your pinky. Glock then adds an extension that often comes with one of the included mags. Why not just make a slightly longer grip and mag? I get bit no matter what extension I use.

[@sukhvindermangat1087]

You could use G20/21 mags with a rubber insert that fills in the gap, takes away from the compactness of it, but gives you a few extra rds... But that's only for double stacks (G29/30) not sure if there's anything out there for the G36

[@brick7719]

I like the 36 slimmer feeling frame. And at that price, you can't beat it. Prices on non-optic ready handguns seem to be coming down rapidly. Win, for sure.

[@ciribillo47]

A shield arms magazine for this glock 36 would be interesting, maybe it will increase its capacity by 2 or 3 more bullets for the same size, like with the glock 43, I don't think it will do much like with the 43x because that one becomes a double stack with the shield arms magazine, but the normal 43 is so thin and remains with a single stack even with the shield arms magazine and even so they increased its capacity to 9 rounds, something similar could happen with the glock 36.. unfortunately since it is not such a popular pistol they never did it and I doubt they will ever do it

[@aldousorwell3807]

If I could find a 36 for that price, especially in like new, seemingly unfired condition, I would snap it up in a heartbeat! ...But it would only be for two reasons... First, any gun that is in that condition, and isn't a model thats known to be manufactured garbage, for under $250, should be bought even if only in the interest of preserving it. ...Secondly, my first pistol I ever bought was a Glock 30, which I'll never sell, and I'm equipped to convert it to 10mm in less than a minute, I have extended mags with spacers, and a threaded barrel for a suppressor because I think that 45 HP's are the ideal pistol round for home defense, ...and I'm always on the lookout for a 36 so I can put that slide on the 30, and effectively convert it to a '30s', which might even prompt me to put it back in my carry rotation. My neighbor is an old timer who still carrys a 36, but he refuses to sell it to me. So I tell him him every chance I get that he needs to leave it to me in his will and hurry up and croak already then...😁 *Nice Score SPN!!😃👍*

[@christophermead9800]

6+1 of 45 Auto sounds fine to me. I’d carry an extra magazine though. I prefer 8+1 or 45 auto in my full size 1911 with a spare 10 round extender magazine in my pocket. More capacity, better shoot-ability, better ballistics and accuracy. Always better to have a full size pistol over a pocket pistol.

[@HalfCrazy520]

To me, a gun doesn't 'win' because of capacity. If the #1 criterion was capacity, you'd want a .30 Super Carry or a Five-Seven (neither of which is very popular, go figure). I would choose a G-30 over the G-36.. but I choose the Sig P-320C in .45 Auto. 3.9" barrel, 9+1 capacity, 26 ounces, night sights, great ergos, and great trigger. Call me a Fudd, but .45 is my "emotional support caliber". In all statistical likelihood, 10 rounds will be enough. I want something hard-hitting and reliable with a Pic rail, and something I shoot really well. The Sig wins for me... for now...

Good comparison on the 36 too. Like I said yesterday, I wish they made it in Gen4 or 5. And by the way, the only extension I could ever find for the magazine was a plus one.
