Now that you have selected your handgun, invest in a good concealment holster. For a Glock I recommend that you buy a holster that completely covers the trigger guard and that does not have a retention strap. Ultimately you will want a few different types of holster in order to give you more carry options, but a good leather strong side IWB holster from Galco is a good start.

I finally got my new glock 19 yesterday, I was so excited that I even forgot to pick up some of thge accessories that goes with it.....


I'm a bid confused about the cleaning of the gun. I was told by other gun owners that I should oil my gun before using it for the 1st time....Is this necessary?....Also what is a decent leather conceal holster for this gun???

Thanks a lot, I will be posting some pictures soon.

Thanks for all your help!

O.K. with the fear of sounding like a grumpy old but enough with the gun cleaning questions. Again, read the manual that comes with the gun. It will answer all your cleaning questions. Ignore your friends and read what Glock recommends. Then you should be all set.

With regards to holsters, I suggest looking at Galco. They know their stuff and Bill King who works there can help you pick out the right holster.

Congrats on the new Glock, now go shoot it.

Clean a Glock...? Check out what this guy does to a Glock although I wouldn't recommend it.

A Glock will pretty much eat anything. Every Glock I ever shot liked a pretty hot load but will use target/practice ammo and cycle well. Whit Box Winchester from Wal Mart will do fine.

a lot of g19 questions lately

it is a great gun
and if the numbers were available i would guess that of all 9mm's this model is sold more than any other model by any manufacturer

You got that right. I have noticed that too.

I never really thought about that but I bet you are right. It has to be right up there.

Good choice on the pistol (but you've probably already figured that out).

For a concealment holster, I don't have much experience with them so I can only talk about one: The SuperTuck from CrossBreed Holsters.

I'm thin and I have bony hips. I thought an IWB holster was simply out of the question; I was certain there would be no way I could find a comfortable one. Circumstances dictated that I had to get one so I started researching options and came across the SuperTuck. I've been wearing it daily for about four weeks now and I often can't even feel it. It took some "hairdryer handcrafting" to get the retention where I wanted it (instructions are included with the holster, very easy) and the company has an outstanding service reputation. The leather (I went with the horsehide option) took about two weeks to match my body but now the thing is shaped perfectly.

The design on the SuperTuck allows you to tuck your shirt in between the gun and your pants if you choose.

I have no regrets with this thing.

I own a couple of big bores,but the 9's are just a pleasure to shoot,the 19 ,is great little gun.
