anyone know the official list of what you can carry as FBI?
I know the standards are glock 22/23/27 (and the 17/19/26 if you suck with .40) but is there any regulation against carrying something else?

the sig 320 was basically set to win the contract anyway, could you carry one of those, or a DA/SA if you wanted?

gen 2 did it the best

probably just glocks and nothing but glocks.
dont like it? Heres a back strap for your glock, so suck it up

also, some agents can carry TRP 1911s if they qualify but that usually HRT teams

What are the benefits of Gen 2 over other gens?
I'm leaning heavily towards getting a Gen 3 17, but would there be any reason for me to strive for an early version?

>>33435476
the test gen 5's the FBI and police had fell apart, because making Glocks is somehow still too difficult for Glock.

cheaper, no finger grooves, different (imo better) finish
other than that its a glock, and glocks dont change much from generation to generation. Keep in mind gen 2 .40s is where the glocknade jokes originated

Glocks B4 1999 are the ones to have. In the 9mm flavor

Should I get a glock 22, just because the extra penetration it gives to chest bone compared to 9mm?

Plus since it's a fullsize recoil shouldn't be that bad compared to 23/27.

I'll be using hst 165s so recoil shouldn't be as bad.

Already have a 19 I just think I need more penetration.

>>33435854
Gen 3 Glock is best gen. Gen4 has thinner frame walls, making it weaker, and an unnecessary double recoil spring.

I bought a 22 just for that reason
>already had a 19
>didnt see the point in getting the 17
>didnt enjoy the snap of the 23/27
>still wanted a full size glock

honestly .40 isnt even that bad. its my bedside and occasional cc gun

>>33435476
I personally want to know when they'll release the TB model for the gen4's. I want my Glock to be suppressor ready, but I haven't seen a 3rd party barrel that isn't either expensive as fuck or ugly as fuck.

>>33435956
No it was the first gen. And it only happened because early fudd reloaders used cast lead bullets

>>33436094
That's the biggest reason why I was leaning towards the Gen 3. The better frame, plus I don't see any reason to get the new spring if the old one worked so well for so long.

>>33435956
Thanks for the info. I'm not a fan of .40 anyway, so I wouldn't worry about that. If I was to get anything bigger than a 9mm in a Glock, it'll be the Glock 40 MOS. I want that sweet, sweet 10mm. That'll be my next major purchase after a revolver.

The finger grooves fit my hand right, but I won't miss them. A buddy mine dremeled his off, and it wasn't a good job by any means but gun feels plenty good.

>>33435476
didnt they give some to the Indianapolis police and they literally fell apart?

>>33435509
>finger grooves

It's the only reason I never got a glock. The grooves never fit my hand and sanding or dremeling them down seemed like too much effort.

Once the timeline shifts again to the Miami B version, they'll be going back to good ol' 10mm

>>33435509
I like em to famalam. Although I'd own a glock with out without the groves.
