I can honestly say I am a true "Glock Guy" now.

Although I am not sure how realistic that statement is since I did modify it a bit.

After completing the work on my "perfected" Glock 33 I am absolutely thrilled with it. It has had three flawless trips to the range now without a single glitch. I have been carrying it for about a week now and I must say that, other than times when I need the slimmer profile of my Kahr PM40, I do not see a reason to ever carry any other gun. It is accurate, reliable, comfortable in my hand, well balanced, easy to conceal, lightweight and doesn't look too bad now either. Add that to having 11-21 (depending on whether you carry the extra mag) extremely effective and potent .357sig rounds and you have a real winner.

I do think I will order a .40S&W barrel for it though to make it the same caliber as all my other car and carry guns.

Pardon the crappy iPhone pics below. I still cannot find the battery charger for my old Canon Elph. I might have to bite the bullet and buy my first new camera in 9 years.

Sweet looking gun. As for the Canon Elph, just go on amazon and search for a charger for it. You can usually get them for a few bucks and you wont have to buy a new camera. Good luck!

Playboy, at least you've come around to your senses. Really, instead of a pinky extension, why not get the +1 extension? About the same size and gives you 1 more round.

LOL PBP, I'm glad you're found your one and only true handgun love for this month but you and I both know that you can never be true to just one carry gun. In a few weeks another will catch your eye and capture your heart and you will be as smitten with it was you are with your Glock and your Kahr. Face it, like the rest of us you are as promiscuous with firearms as you are loyal to your true love.

Not really a Glock fan, but that's a pretty slick looking carry gun. Nice work.

Nice!!! I carry the same package, except in .40 caliber. Mine's a bit more boring looking, though.

Good looking firearm.

Solid choice for a carry. I'm truly jealous.

Good luck with the 33 PBP. I still love my 26 and carry it every day all day every where. Get the +1 extension they are nice and work well.

Nice Glock

I am a Glock fan but I admit that generally aren't very pretty. That's about as pretty as a Glock can be!

Nice, PBP. I would guess you no longer need a King Cobra?!?! I will find a home for it.

Does it make me a bad person because I want that rear plate with the Punisher logo on it?

Definitely not, that is one nice glock, and that rear plate would look sweet with it.

PBP, aren't you the same guy who described your Detonic as being about perfect a few months ago? And, also your Kahr? Do I detect a pattern here? Not that I should talk. I take a different gun with me on each trip to the range and I usually have a new favorite immediately afterward.

Does it make me a bad person for wanting one of those slides and a custom plate for the Glock i JUST bought today, lol?

I like the look of yours and i may have to allocate some funds for that slide and a plate down the road

LMAO at this thread because I am about that finicky as well when it comes to CCW peices. I have done all the basics ... plastic, all steel, 1911, aluminum frames, and now I am rediscovering revolvers.... oh no.

No that is why I posted the link for you I have one and it is kind of cool. I don't have the Punisher just the skull and cross bones.
