Haven't fired it yet but plan to try and get out this weekend and run some rounds throught her.
Now my 1987 year 17 has a little sister.

Nice. I had a 26, ended up trading it for a 23, and been shooting .40 s&w ever since. I switched over to the Springfield XD series a few years back, and now my EDC is an xd40 subcompact. It's tough to find anything bad to say about a Glock.

I was looking for something a little smaller for an ankle holster. I carry the 17 on my belt but that tends to make people a little uneasy in the warmer T shirt weather! I figured I owned a 24 year old Glock, and have never done anything to it I couldn't go wrong. Plus the 17 clip works in the 26, and they share internal parts, and ammo size. This on is 4 years old but I am pretty sure its not had much more than a box or two of ammo through it. The ramp has no marks on it at all.I wouldn't mind a Glock 40 or a 45. Maybe next time? Actually I think my next hand gun will be a Ruger not sure what model yet. My father worked at Sturm Ruger for 24 years.

In the summer I use this (the universal auto one) on my XD and carry small of back

It's secure and low profile but not as comfortable as an IWB holster

Those are pretty cool, I like. Still visible to kids, and such though. I am not ashamed of carrying but on the same token I don't want to uneducated people including some law officers to freak out!! If you know what I mean.
I wear T shirts, and jeans most of the time so I think the ankle holster should work well. I tuck my shirts in. I am thinking about buying a belly band as I don't tuck shirts in when I wear shorts.

Belly band looks like a nice product, but I dont know how well it would be in the summer, even if it does breathe.

They make about the best wheel gun there is, but I'm not a fan of their automatics.
Magazine interchangeability has always been a subject very dear to me.

I have been wanting a Ruger revolver for a while now. My father had one of these, I wish I had it now. My mother sold it not long after he passed without my knowledge! I have always wanted one since he let me shoot his as a kid.

I don't know exactly what you guys are wanting to do with your future Rugers but I absolutely love mine to death. I have GP100 in .357 with the 6" barrel and it is real hard on hogs in the back yard. I used to have the Super Red Hawk in .44 magnum but it is just so much gun. Unless you plan on camping in Alaska I would stick with the .357 plus it can shoot cheaper .38 specials at the range to save a little $$$

My agency used to use Glock 17's 9mm w/ the hi capacity mags. We used the Glock 26 as the off duty weapon, easier to conceal, but, i have a large hand and it wasnt comfortable for me.
We now use the Glock 22 .40 cal's...the frame is slightly smaller than the 17's, but, I still qualify w/ a 99.8 avg. usually so i cant complain. We were one of the first law enforcement agencies in the nation to adopt the Glocks in the early '90's and have been pleased ever since.
I bought my issued Glock 17 and I had previously bought a former co-worker's Glcok 17....have two of them now. I will buy my current weapon from the dept, the glock 22, when we get new ones again.
I love Glocks!

My 17 was a service weapon for a local dept. for 3 years. When they bought new Glocks is when I bought it.

My PX4 Storm compact is a great shooter and easily concealed, but being a fat guy I can conceal a XD40 very easily too, just get it next to the love handle. Next I want to get a Glock 23, I've always liked that gun
