Turned to the Dark Side I have

[adrian]

     Hiya Jim and thanks for starting the thread, hope ya dont get beat up to bad with the posts. I've seen em, been invited ta try em, but just as in other things I'd thought might be fun, decided against it. Congrats on the purchase, wish I could have the feeling everyday that a new gun purchase brings, glad ta hear they are making user friendly improvements, but will never make it to my gun porn file, fugly they are. Be well.

By the title, I expected a BHP or Sig or even  H&K,  BUT NOT A CROCK

Mostly just kidding.    I just got a new gun and know that good feeling.  Of course, mine is really even enjoyable looking at it!!

Congrats on the new gun!

I to decided to try a G23 because the 40P was my only 40 caliber and was lonely, I found a good deal, and I always felt left out in the Glock bashing threads. Now I can join in with everyone else and complain about them! Problem is I really never gave it a chance; shot a few hundred rounds,  never got use to the trigger and just couldn't get a decent grouping with it. I feel a lot of the short comings I experienced were teething issues that could be overcome with more shooting. Downside is what happens to all the built up experience I have with CZs. I decided I'm a one handgun kinda guy
( sounds boring I know)

So now it sits in the safe but every once in awhile I throw it in the glovebox just to let it get some air and feel some Love.

I figure if I don't like it I can sell it for probably about the same price I paid for it. For some crazy reason used Glocks tend to sell for virtually the same price as new. At least that is what I have seen lately. And there doesn't seem to be a shortage of people wanting to buy a Glock.

Hmmm.............?  A 2.5 lb Trigger Connector, you will need.

Nothing wrong with a Glock.  I love my CZ's, especially my PCR, but I carry a Gen4 19 when off duty.  My issue gun is a Glock 35 and I figure if I ever have to use a gun off duty it will be easier to defend in court as the 19 is the same action type/trigger, etc.  It will also be easier to replace if taken into evidence.

You gonna make it green?:

I would consider Olive Drab Green like my XD-45. But I think it looks good in all black just the same. Not really planning on putting any money into it. Although I do plan on buying some 15-round mags and grip extensions.

You'll have to see how you like the sights.  Personally, I'm used to black rear/fiber front sights on my CZ's, and wasn't very fond of the white U rear sight on the glock.  There are tons of options out there though, as one might imagine.

 My thinking also. Have two guys at work waiting for me to sell!

Never thought about going Green, but added some grip tape so I could hang on to it without using the grip of death.

There are some simple ways to be green with a Glock.  For example, Hogue grip:

Or, grip tape:

Yes, I have been thinking about the Glock's rear sights. My wife and I are both used to three-dot sights. All my CZ's, my Ruger P95, and my Springfield XD-45 all have three-dot sights.

I might have to check into that Zombie green Hogue grip.

Yes, I admit it. I turned to the Dark Side and bought a Glock 23 Gen 3 compact 40S&W 13+1. 

CONGRATULATIONS Jim, on the purchase of your Lego Gun!!!
Just kidding. Glocks are undoubtedly good firearms, as are many others. Great to see the guys here are broad-minded enough to acknowledge that.
Here in South Africa, we have a culture of gun pro's who have the "GLOCK-or-nothing" attitude + "you have to carry 9mmP or higher"(anything lower is USELESS) and C1=condition one-and-only and you're better off NOT carrying if not C1. 
So, enjoy your "plasticware" Jim. At least you have the option of switching to a "real" gun whenever you feel like putting your "toys" away.

Happy shooting!!!
