I do remember when I bought the 27, the seller showing me the conventional magazine and an extended variety, but I declined the extended variety because it only allowed me to load three more rounds, and it hardly seemed worth the change in holding the weapon. As I have said, I find the Sig more comfortable to hold, in large part because it absorbs recoil better for me. Still the Glock is my reserve weapon, and is one heck of a whole lot more comfortable to carry. For many years my father tried to teach me about guns, and I was absolutely repulsed and repelled by them. Then, when my husband commuted so far to work, and we bought the first farm, I realized that if anything happened, it would happen when I was home, and not when my husband, with all the rifles, would be. Fortunately, I had a friend who was a female police officer, and she loved guns, and she started my process of learning about them, shooting, loading and taking down different varieties. I wish I had let my father teach me much sooner.JaneofVirginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320442534060401465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1185219031783989911.post-34068304534508478292012-03-05T09:21:38.265-08:002012-03-05T09:21:38.265-08:00You can fire the Glock 22 magazines from your 27. ...You can fire the Glock 22 magazines from your 27. But the lighter the gun, the greater the felt recoil.<br /><br />Recoil, within reason, is not as big an issue to me as is how well the weapon fits my hand, and how well I can see the sights. But having been in the electrical field for years, I have become accustomed to using hand tools that are uncomfortable to opperate.russell1200https://www.blogger.com/profile/16258915475311426433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1185219031783989911.post-49623147928509442822012-03-03T17:20:30.656-08:002012-03-03T17:20:30.656-08:00Thanks Matt, I really hope you are feeling better...Thanks Matt, I really hope you are feeling better soon. The weather which has been so erratic lately has made it hard to get over colds and flus.

I did a poor job. I also live in Va. I just assumed, for some bizarre reason that you knew that. I'll blame that on those meds also :)<br /><br />I'm afraid those people who wouldn't sell you the guns were doing you a grave disservice. <br /><br />Here's the law that was just repealed.<br /><br />http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?000+cod+18.2-308.2C2<br /><br />Towards the end of the page in section P it does mention the 30 day rule for the non-permitted person. Below that in section 2h, it states the exemption for those who have a permit.<br /><br />It sounds like someone just didn't want you buying more than one at a time. <br /><br />In either case, I'm just glad it's repealed.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12967355941603195101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1185219031783989911.post-58209930562218396572012-03-03T11:58:53.694-08:002012-03-03T11:58:53.694-08:00I personally prefer the Sig.

The Glock is lighter and is harder to be as accurate, however, it is much easier to carry as a reserve weapon than would be a second Sig. My Sig Sauer is a P229 and my Glock is a Glock 27, 40 cal Gen 3. I believe that is a 27 in the picture above.JaneofVirginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320442534060401465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1185219031783989911.post-35389281252316707212012-03-03T11:51:58.381-08:002012-03-03T11:51:58.381-08:00Matt, I have always been able to buy more than on...Matt, I have always been able to buy more than one rifle at a time, a couple a month even before I had a concealed weapons permit. However, in Virginia, until recently, we could not buy a handgun more often than every 30 days. This was a problem because many times I wanted two or three of the same at once, and in 30 days, item two and three were sold. Even the tactical and police supply shop would not hold guns for you for next month.JaneofVirginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320442534060401465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1185219031783989911.post-4333604510924236652012-03-03T09:50:20.551-08:002012-03-03T09:50:20.551-08:00I have a Glock 22.

It looks a little like a Diamond Back.russell1200https://www.blogger.com/profile/16258915475311426433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1185219031783989911.post-9235767535245541322012-03-03T08:52:39.361-08:002012-03-03T08:52:39.361-08:00I am confused.

I was able to with my permit. I purchased two rifles at one time at Gander Mountain last year and had many different stores tell me that as long as you had that permit you could purchase multiple weapons at one time.<br /><br />Without the permit, yes, you would have been unable to do more than one a month. But with it, technically the only limiting factor was your wallet.<br /><br />Either way, I am glad the law is gone. I considered it unconstitutional. Most people won't agree with me, and that's okay, but the only time I believe in restricting a gun sale is when the seller refuses to sell one to you. The constitution never mentioned restrictions on our firearms.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12967355941603195101noreply@blogger.com
