Glock 19 9 mm handgun
I went to my second firearms instruction course yesterday and we moved up from a Smith & Wesson 22 to a Glock 19 9 millimeter handgun. It felt comfortable and I was pretty accurate with it for a beginner. Chris, the instructor, highly recommended it as a home protection handgun that is also easy for Avalon to handle. The clip holds 15 bullets. With that many chances, even an amateur like myself should be able to hit an intruder.
After my session I went upstairs at Target World in Chalfont to buy the gun. The guys were extremely helpful and informative. I’m also now a member of the NRA, as that got me a 5% discount on the gun and any future purchases at the store. The questionnaires and paperwork that had to be filled out for the Feds and State police were duplicative and senseless – as if a criminal would actually answer yes to any of the ridiculous questions. I guess I’m not in some database yet, as I passed my background check with flying colors.
Next step will be to fill out the Carry paperwork for my County and take it to the courthouse in Norristown. That’s funny because Norristown is the most dangerous place in Montgomery County, where you should be armed to begin with. We’ll start going to the range regularly and becoming proficient in using our new firearm.
They tell me this gun is the most popular selling gun in America. Now you monkeys can tell me what a dumbass I am for buying this weapon. Let the games begin.
I’d also like to make a plug for Chris Sfinas, our instructor. He’s ex-military and an excellent instructor. Here is a link to his website. If you live in the Montgomery County area and want to take the same step we did, give him a call.
