Trigger Mike Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 now that things with my wife are improving and the chemo has ended I am entering a mid life crisis. On a whim I decided to try a Glock 19 and suddenly can't stop thinking about it at the expense of my 45 autos. At 30 feet I can hit a small fence post. I wonder where she has been all my life. I only had disdain for the 9mm even when the department issued me one as it just does not have the feel the 45 does when it goes off. I even traded a Sig 220 compact for it. If only I did not live on a dirt road with a gravel driveway I might get a corvette to go with it.

Trigger Mike Posted August 4, 2015 Author Posted August 4, 2015 when my wife was a teenager she worked drive thru at a bank and saw this married guy suddenly show up with a corvette and a blonde half his age in the convertible beside him so the running joke for years was how when i have a midlife crisis i would get a corvette and a blonde. so i got the flat dark earth (blond) Glock so maybe a corvette is in order.
Charlie Harley, #14153 Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 This is not a crisis. Simply a stage. Enjoy it, and then move on to the next stage.
DocWard Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 I don't see that as a mid-life crisis. I see that as just another symptom of being a gunaholic.
Tom Bullweed Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 You could just keep the Glock in the Corvette and call it your mobile holster.
Utah Bob #35998 Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 Trashing glocks makes as much sense as trashing the M16. If you want it, go for it, Mike. I carriedone for awhile.
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 Not anything wrong with a Glock. Love my model 22 in .40 S&W. But if given a choice-Pretty much a 1911 guy. OLG
BLACKFOOT SASS #11947 Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 Now you are all set if you ever get attacked by a small fence post!!! Blackfoot
Henry T Harrison Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 When I hit that period in my life I bought a bright shinny Corvette convertible. Cheaper than a mistress and just as exciting

Trigger Mike Posted August 5, 2015 Author Posted August 5, 2015 well after seeing how my wife is and how bad she got under chemo, I told her after her why would I want another woman? guns are cheaper and don't mind being greased and left in the alone in the dark
Wolfgang, SASS #53480 Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 This might help... I LIKE it . . . .
Hurricane Deck 100366 Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Nothing wrong with a Glock, I find most that have an aversion to poly guns have never really spent any quality time with one. Can't fault them for that. I switch between my 1911 and my M&P45 for daily carry unless it's super hot, then I switch to a pocket 9mm. They all have plenty of take-down power when applied properly. Get the pistol you enjoy, in the caliber you enjoy shooting. then shoot the CRAP out of it. shoot it every chance you get. shoot it during self defence courses. shoot it for fun at the range our out back plinking at targets get a couple of magazines and practice reloads in the configuration you would normally carry it in. Shoot it until it fails, then practice clearing that failure. then practice the other failures. the choice of pistol is much less important than the choice to practice.
J. Mark Flint #31954 LIFE Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Buy a Matchbox Corvette and a blonde wig for your wife

Trigger Mike Posted August 6, 2015 Author Posted August 6, 2015 good idea J mark Flint. I could even tell her to cover her wrinkles as well .
Dirty Dan Dawkins Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 I could even tell her to cover her wrinkles as well . Let us know how that works out.
Big Sage, SASS #49891 Life Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 I'm so far past mid life that I don't remember what it was!
Blastmaster Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 Yup. Owned bot. Used both. Prefer John Bs invention. I too own both, used both, but prefer the Glock. John B's has been in the back of safe for years.
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 Crisis? Sounds more like an awakening. I'm not a great fan of Glocks nor Corvettes, but it sounds like you gave a plastic fetish going on there, so go with it and smile the while.
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 This might help... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm with Big Sage on the mid life thingy. It was so far back I don't recall what it looked like. Probably a gun, or a boat, or a fishing rod, or something along those lines.
Bama Red Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 I think I had a mid-life crisis 15-20 years ago. Lasted about five minutes, when I decided I couldn't afford it!
