    Go Glock!

    The other thing looks cool but it seems a tad impractical as a hand gun and good luck finding parts if anything on it breaks.

    With the Glock you'll have no such worries!

    Very cool. I love a VZ-58.

    So from what I can tell, your follower is just being blocked from traveling all the way down.

    It looks like you could just drill that rivet out and it would be good to go if the laws in your country ever change. Thats very good, during the Clinton ban all new mags had to be limited to ten rounds and not be easily convertible to higher than ten round capacity.

    While I am a big fan of the Beretta 92 Series, you can't go wrong with a Glock 17 and this Canadian illegal mag if you are worried about "zombies":

    What if you had a mag with a "fake" rivet in it (so it looked like it was limited, but it wasn't)? Do the cops check them when you go to the range? Would they just look to see if a "rivet" was there, or would they try to load more than 10 and see if the mag accepted them?

    Is that Photoshop, or is there really a 9mm C-Mag?

    I have never been checked by anyone ever. Also i have been told by the former chief firearms officer for my province to just not load more then 10 at a time...

    IIRC that guy who pretends to be Russian and does all those weapons videos on Youtube did a video on 9mm tracer ammo and used one of these mags in a G18. Looked like a lazer beam coming out of that Glock and lasted for a good while.

    Any gun accessory you can imagine being made in your wildest dreams is usually already available for Glocks.

    The amount of gizmos, gadgets, and doo-hickies available for Glocks is almost unreal, plus every single part including frames is available from aftermarket suppliers.

    There were even metal frames for Glocks available for tupperware haters but not sure if anyone is still making those.

    Keep a few legal mags for range use. Keep anything else you have close to the vest for a rainy day.

    I vote for the Glock as well. Let us know what you chose.

    Another Glock vote. If you're limited to 10 rounds, the 21SF is the way to go. The XDm pistols are pretty nice, but not as dead simple as the Glocks.

    Glocks are nice, but S&W M&P feels better in my hand.
