All you manly snowflakes so offended by the idea of owning a Glock make me laugh.
I'm certainly not offended by the idea, I just don't want one. They don't fit my hand and I hate the trigger. That being said, if a SHTF situation came up and that's all I had I'd certainly use it.
My best friend is a retired Tucson Cop. He still has his issue Glock. Every time we go shooting he offers to let me shoot it, knowing that I don't like them. I always politely refuse because I just don't like them.

But would it still be upside down?

If given a gun I didn't want, I'd save it for trade stock. AFTER letting the giver know that that was what I was going to do.
If I was offered a gun for less than it would normally go for, it would depend on who was offering it. When I got my Tombstone Special, I only paid around $300 for it on Gunbroker. They usually sell for about $800 or $900. I got lucky. Every now and then my LGS has a gun far cheaper than I would expect. My S&W 625 was on his shelf for about half what I'd normally expect. But some random individual on the street, oh HE!! no.

oh - i dont really need a phone - other people need me to have a phone , id be fine if the dang thing was still attached to the wall with cords
I'm pretty much the same way. And most of the time when I need to make a call, I do so on my landline. When people need my phone number, I give them my landline. I tell them that it's a landline so don't try texting me or whatever. My cell is a flip phone, because I only use it for a phone. There isn't anything I need it to do besides that. If I want on the interweb, I use my desktop.
There's only about two people who might call me on it, my wife and daughter. My wife's usually at home with me, but I do carry it when I'm out and about. My daughter will always call my wife first, the landline second, and my cell out of desperation. When I'm at home, my cell sits on my dresser, I see no need to have it attached to me like an appendage like so many I see.

ah , thank you for that , i know MA - met him once at our range during a shoot he was covering , im not going to say i believe everything he says
I find that he's knowledgeable, experienced, and somewhat full of himself. The only reason I mention him is that EVERY comment about ammo in Court can be traced back to that one story from him.
-
When I find one like that, I give them a "down" thumb, leave a comment why I did so, then look for another video by them, click on the three dots to the right, and then click on the "Don't recommend channel" selection.

I would not take a free Glock.
I would. It'd make good trade stock.

makes sense but i do have "stopping" ammo in my 380 , ive heard that if you use specialized ammo iy might get dicy in court ....i have no experience yet and hope never to have , but , if that day comes i do want it stopped ASAP , ill shoot till it stops
The source for the "ammo will get you in trouble" comes from a story propagated by Massad Ayoob about a guy who gave his wife mixed reloads. If you are using any factory ammo, there's no reasonable question as to your intent. My previous comment was meant to suggest that it might look better if you only had to shoot once or twice to stop the threat. If you had to empty the magazine it might not look as clean.

I remember an episode of NCIS where Gibbs got mad and pounded on his phone, and then tossed it to McGee and told him to reboot it. And walked off. McGee looked over at Tony and said, "what does he mean 'reboot it'?"
And Tony opened up a filing cabinet drawer and took out a new phone. But that was a flip phone. It wouldn't change for years. Smartphones are different.
That was a Palm Pilot. Tony and Kate convinced Gibbs that he needed one. Eventually he went as far as a flip phone and stopped there. As have I.

You didn't miss it, you slept through it. And you slept so long that the world circled back around and started over.

I'll probably have to do another deep dive into the "this vs that" videos and make another short list. I'm not settled on what round I prefer in 9mm.
I don't read a lot into the "this vs that" videos for accuracy, because unless a particular round proves to "pattern" rather than group in multiple platforms, they don't mean much except the they group well, or poorly, in that single gun.
Comparing performance is a whole different ball of wax. Comparing round (A), (B), and (C) for penetration and expansion is far more telling. The only way you'll know how a specific round groups out of your gun is to run a hundred or so through it.
But if you think about it, and research defensive shootings, I think that you'll find that 6 inches at 6 feet is more than adequate for the purpose. Do defencive shooting happen at further ranges? Of course. But you're looking at 1% of 1% of the 00.01% chance that you'll get into ANY shooting, let alone that situation.
The website I inserted earlier has done much of that work already. Pick the round you think looks good, (don't forget that barrel length counts too), and try them out.

Reality show do not have writers and actors to pay and pay residuals. In truth the show is created by the film editors.
Exactly. There is nothing REAL about "reality" shows.

That's true. The game shows and reality shows fill the gap when they don't have the talent to produce other programming.
These days I'm not sure that they HAVE other programming. Look at the movies they're producing. Sequels nobody wants to see, reboots or reimaginings that are worse. It seems like nobody in Hollywierd has any original ideas anymore.

Thus the large number of game shows.
It's not the Game Shows that I don't get, it's the "Reality" Shows I don't understand. Why does anyone care about these things? There's almost nothing real about them.
I'm talking about the "love" type shows and their ilk. Some of the "People at work" types are okay.

I regularly make comments about that on both the SRPD and Sonoma County Sheriff’s FB when they post these things.
Be careful. You'll wind upon their Watchlist, if you aren't already.

would the cops do anything?
They usually don't do anything NOW. They'll just tell you to call a different number and file a report over the phone. I suppose they might actually show up if you were a Political Somebody, or something of some importance were taken, but that's about it.

it works and is reasonably priced , its a value thing vs results , im not privey to all th thought maybe someone else is but of the 9mm ammo ive seen available most common is the 115 on commercial market ,
Most big box stores have 115gr FMJ for about $10 or $11 a box, but FMJ is about the last ammo I'd use if I wanted to stop a threat. I don't play the "It's what XXX uses" game. I use what is likely to STOP, not kill, (for legal reasons) the threat. While a FMJ bullet might stop and eventually kill, I want something that will stop the threat the fastest. If you can stop him with one or two shots, it will go over better with the authorities and eventually a Jury, than if you had to KEEP shooting him to make him stop.

While I think that the whole subject is stuff and nonsense, my wife is somewhat of an expert on the subject. She says that digital imagery will show a vampire. Including TV or still cameras.

I prefer to carry my 1911 in .45ACP.
I've reluctantly come to accept the fact that the 9mm with modern designed
bullets does in fact work every bit as good as the .45, but I've carried the 1911 in .45 since 1974, and I still respect it and prefer it.
My way of thinking too. When not carrying my 1911, I carry a Ruger NMV in .45 Colt. Because bigger is better, and at the very worst, a .45 is still bigger than a 9mm. Would I feel under armed with a 9mm? No, as I don't feel under armed with a .38 snubbie when I need to conceal.
But i'll still carry a .45 unless something comes along that says I can't.

Too big to show here, but lucky.gunner put this out a few years ago. He tested a LOT of ammo for penetration, expansion, and consistency of performance. This is his 9mm results, but he tested most current calibers.

That was pretty much it. But every time "ammo in court' comes up, this case is the cautionary tale. Just one case, repeatedly cited by Mas Ayoob. I'm not saying that he's wrong in THIS case, but it doesn't cover EVERY case.
