Need opinions (Glock 19 sale?)

[kjtrains]

Don't have an XDM, but was looking at that some time ago.  Always have been impressed with the Glock's quality, just not their appearance.  I'm going to go with the quality and get over the look.  I also wanted a sub compact in 357 Sig.

My FFL has found a Glock 33 in Olive Drab, but since we are going to Ga. tomorrow, it will two weeks before I can get it.  He gets it in two days.  My timing, not good.

Another great choice, I have one of the first XD's in 45ACP and love it also.  

The Springfield is more accurate than my Glock 17, 22 and 32c.

The 45 is a big gun with a big grip but I see the new XDM's have an adjustable back strap that may make a big differance.

[kjtrains]

All these choices; they're all good and the XDM is probably a have to have at some point.

[Dino]

Good luck with your 33, please give us a range report when you get some time at the range.

Thanks, and will do!

I just noticed that GunBroker.com currently has an auction in progress for a Matt Del Fatti Glock 19 23 32 Holster Black LP-HTL. I have no connection to or knowledge of the seller other than to note that it appears he has been a member of GunBroker.com since 08/21/2005 with an A+ feedback rating from over 1,000 transactions. As of now, the auction has 5 days and 22 hours remaining, and this thread seemed to be an appropriate place to mention it. Given Matt's current backlog of orders, his holsters are becoming increasingly hard to find.

kj if your not interested I would like to place a bid on the holster.  Don't want to be betting against you.

Thanks Richard, nice find!

[Richard S]

Thank you, Dino. I should add that since the seller has posted a "Buy Now" price of $186.50, the auction could end at any time.

[Dino]

Thanks Richard, I wonder what a first offer should be?

Nice holster. Leather is good for a Glock and so much nicer than those impersonal (Kydex?) ones.

I would lead off with $100.00 because there are no bids and 5 days to go. Then you can play as necessary.

However, to Richard's point, the "buy now" feature does have a sudden death element. So, how badly do you want it?

[Dino]

Thanks ACP, I don't have to have it, truth is I don't even need it. But I don't have Del Fatti and I sure do have a few Glocks that will fit in it.  

Hate to say it, I'm one of those Kydex guys.  They work fine at the range and I don't normally carry my Glocks.  

But with a Del Fatti rig it might be something I'll try from time to time.

[Dino]

Just tried to place a bid however the minimum bid is $186.49.
Same as Buy Now price.
Don't want it that bad.

Maybe I should buy it for my wife, our 32nd anniversary is the 20th of this month?

Isn't the 32nd anniversary leather?

[Richard S]

As I think I commented in another thread, there are few things easier in life than giving advice to another man on how he should spend his money. However, if I owned one of the Glocks for which it was made I think I would grab that holster at the "Buy-It-Now" price before someone else gets it. Last year I paid a $200.00 BIN price for this Del Fatti ISP-4 holster for my HK P7 and am glad I did.

Dino,

Incorrect. The 32nd anniversary gift is a Glock pistol. However, since you are already there, why not buy the holster?

You don't have to tell me about want vs. need because I know. I busted yankee, on this forum, about his "honey elephant, peanut alligator" holster from Rafter S for his R9. Then, after I looked at the holster on the website, I ordered one myself.

I think it is a little weird to have "no reserve" and "buy now" the same price. However, this maker has a following and this makes your decision easier.

[kjtrains]

Dino.  Sorry I couldn't answer your post sooner as we just got to Ga. from NC.

I'm not interested in the holster so if you want it go for it.  Seems like a nice one.
