On a side note, raptor I’m super lucky to have gotten the fde glock, they stopped making it and moved to grey, which in person looks more silver glitter like.
Any Glock I own or have owned has been black. My EDC peice used to be a Glock 23 but it's too lumpy IMO for concealed carry and better suited for open carry. I prefer concealed carry.

I think the grey Glocks look sh***y, too.
I could settle for OD or coyote but prefer black.

I concealed carried a cz75,glock22, glock17 fine with no problem. You don’t need s super tin thin gun to conceal carry. I could probably even get away with the glock 10mm. People conceal revolvers which are way thicker then glock19/23
If I could gotten the 19 in fde I would have but glock doesn’t sell them in non black except to lipsey and I got my 19 direct from glock at below leo price. It’s a blue label gun.
Few perks to working retail I guess. I considered getting a g43 just for fun or a g30s.
I only carried open briefly during camping before I had my chl.

Mines heavy barrel and has a standard Cary handle sight.
Bushmaster?
I bought mine with the plain old carry handle upper because I wanted to keep it simple.
That changed and I installed a picatinny upper.
I bought an Aimpoint Comp M3 red dot and a Larue Tactical LT-150 mount. I bought the mount and the Aimpoint as a set directly from Larue. They make good top drawer shi+ and are a patriotic company.
I replaced the factory buttstock, pistol grip, and handguard with Magpul parts.
Troy Industries had a sale on fold-down backup sights so I bought one.
I put a Surefire light on the front and with it I can illuminate and hit targets out to 100 meters or better in the dark.
The sling is a Blue Force Vickers tactical sling.
Like with my Glocks, everything on this carbine is black.

Online they look ok but a customer had one open carry in the store and I was like oh that’s ugly(in my head of course) I don’t care for od either. But it’s be better then that poop brown they did for one run. If not for lipesy all we would have is black. Colored glocks sell out i dont know why glock doesn’t offer them straight from them. The glock19x is the first colored glock from glock directly. I’m hoping they’ll sell the mags separate as I’ve always disliked my 17 using black mags it’d look better with matching mags. I’d want atleast one. Yeah I could paint them but that might mess with the reliability

It's a matter of preference. In my opinion the G23 was a little too bulky and I carried it a lot in a Bladetech kydex holster to find that out. The spare mag was bulky, too.

Yeah a3 so it has detatchable carrybhandle so I can put a red dot in it later but the comp4s I want is $800 I was going get vortex one but they discontinued our discount.
I replaced mine as well would been cheaper to buy it with magpul on it but my shop couldn’t get it. I originally wanted the sig m400, but he couldn’t get that either. So I’m stuck with a stupid 1/9 twist instead of 1/7 the m400 has. Oh and no quick detach sling points
![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
I use a ak sling in mine lol. I loved the sks sling so much I bought another. Sometimes I think about getting a quick detach back plate but then I’d have to buy a tool to take the stock off. I also think about buying $60 wood grips for my cz75

Magpul makes mags for Glocks, too. I don't know what all colors they offer but you can go to thier website and see.
I've bought some black ones of theirs for my G17 but havent even tried them yet. I've had good luck with Magpul
AR-15 mags.

I wear fairly loose fitting clothes when carrying. My mind's already made up that the CW9 will continue to be my carry peice over the Glock.

Some day I'd like to have an AR carbine in 9mm. Better yet an SBR in that caliber.
It's bedtime here in Dogpatch so my ass is going to go climb in bed.
Until later....

And just like ther this is now a gun hobby chat lol
Yeah they do I have 1 17 rd and two 21 round of their mags. They just come in Black they more focused on expanding models then colors. They just added g26 mags, next probably be .40 mags.
The original 17rd mags had issues in the g19 so they redesigned it and shipped everyone a new body. I love magpul. I have bunch of their 30/40 round ar mags. D&h industries makes good hi mags with magpul followers I have bunch of them I bought back in 2013 just in case. I also have a glock fun stick
![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
I have ak mags too I can’t get rid of
![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
The ak mags seem to have some issues with cracking lips but mostly ok.
I want to pick up the new fde mag for the Ar thst the military made magpul color it. Yay cause their sand color mag was horrible color.
And I’m glad to see they finally came out with a moe to mlock conversion kit.
