I can't comment on Glock, because I don't own one, nor will I, but as far as the 92fs, or the sr40...I own them both, and you can't go wrong with either one...great shooters....two different animals.....I don't carry either one, but for range and home defense, nothing better.

Thanks for your comments Berettabone. The Beretta and Ruger are still in the running.

I love my glock 34. It's an excellent competition gun due to the long barrel. So if you are looking for a competition gun it's great. For cc I would recommend a 17 or 19. The 22 conversion kit looks awesome by the way. I've found some that also come with a suppressor if you fill out the paper work. Any way, I've put 8000 rounds through my 34 with only one shell getting caught by the slide. Easy to maintain, clean , and you can field strip it in less than 20 seconds. I'd say go for the glock!

genesis, I think you have a sound plan. I have both of these models, and I'd recommend the G23 over the G27 as I think the compact is a bit more versatile than the sub-compact, and the recoil is more noticeable in the baby Glock (not painful or anything like that; however, quickly-fired but accurate followup shots WILL be slower with the G27). Glock does offer an adjustable rear sight, but it's fairly crappy (remember, this is coming from a big fan of Glocks), so buying a decent aftermarket sight is a better way to go.

Be aware that the less-expensive conversion kits have lightweight (aluminum?) slides, and so the weight/balance of most converted-to-rimfire Glocks are completely different than the centerfire versions. A newer conversion kit with a steel slide is now being made, but I think it is a bit more expensive than what you listed, and you have to use full-power high-quality .22 ammo to get good reliability.

Dj is right. But if you buy from glockstore.com you'll be all right. It's about $325. After a little research I also found a 50 cal conversion kit..........

Go Glock and also go for the G27 and here is why...size! It is very easy to conceal IWB in a Cross Breed Supertuck and soooo comfortable you forget it is there. Then, you can get all the aforementioned calibers you wanted for it with readily available aftermarket barrels, etc. Now for the better part..you can use G23 13 round mags with an A&G magazine extension which then gives you 13 rounds of .40 S&W with a grip length the size of a glock 23. And for range use, use a G22 mag for even more firepower. When you use the 9mm barrel, you can use the G26 mags, or G19 mags with the A&G Mag extension, and also the G17 mags for range use. And just for kickers, you can get the .357 Sig barrel and shoot that caliber too, using the very same G27-23-22 magazines. So you have many guns in one very nice sized carry package. There is no other gun maker that I know of that allows that kind of versatility in a gun that is priced well and guaranteed to work right from the box. GO Glock!!
