I might be biased but that's a fantastic choice!

A Glock shouldn't have a limited capacity magazine though. The 19 (same size as the P-07) has the same capacity (15) as the P-07. I mean, looking at the picture you have a Gen 1 P-076 so technically it's a 16 round magazine. But most people have a lot of issues getting that last round in. Which is why they labeled the Gen 2 P07's as 15 rounders.
The Glocks I saw had 10 round mags. I held off on getting a few things for it at the store because I should be able to find some stuff online for better prices. I think I'm going to get about 1,000 Federal rounds in bulk for the range soon.

Used Glock? Might have been an import from a restricted state. The nice thing to remember about Glocks if you're ever in the market for one in the future is that Magpul makes excellent Glock magazines and sells them direct for $15 a pop. Compare that to the $37 for a P-07 magazine and you see how good of a deal that really is.

But... screw Glock. CZ rules haha. Nice purchase on the P-07. You'll love the way that gun tracks shot to shot. With a proper grip it barely moves from the target when recoiling.

No, they're new. I don't know if the listing will change based on the state you're in but here's a link that shows the mag capacity.

Glock 19 Gen4 Handgun
Glock 26 Gen4 Handgun
Glock 17 Gen4 Handgun

The 17 has a 17+1 but they didn't have it in the store...just 10+1s.

It's just odd. When you live in a restrictive state all you can pick from are the 10 rounders. When you live in a non-restrictive state all you can usually pick from is standard capacity. Well, I guess shops in non-restrictive states carry restrictive capacities if they have an online presence so they can sell to restrictives.

Gander Mountain is about $100 more per gun than it's competition by the way. Budsgunshop and Grabagun have better pricing across the board. Just something to keep in mind for next time.

I'll keep that in mind. I'm probably going to get a rifle sometime this fall so that is good information. I've heard of gunbroker but I wasn't sure how much I could trust it.

Gunbroker is just like eBay.

Grabagun.com is where I usually shop. Either that or Budsgunshop.com. Those two seem to have the best prices.

I'm a huge fan of the Bersa Thunder.380. One of the finest shooting small pistols I've ever owned . Great price, high quality and dependability. It fits right into my back pocket.

I visited my parents a few months ago up at their cabin to go shooting. My mom got one of those and I really enjoyed shooting that. Has the little red popout that you can verify a round is in the chamber with and for a small gun, it really fit in my hands well.

I was at a gun show a few weeks ago and nearly walked out with one.

Glock 19 is a superb carry. I just bought the Ruger commander 45, smaller than a 1911 version. I like the Glock.I have many pistols but the Glock is the friendliest.

You can't go wrong with the G19. I miss having one. If my arthritis gets much worse and this DA trigger on the P-07 becomes a problem I still might end up going back to it. I don't get the same type of accuracy at speed with the G19 as I do the P-07 but it's close enough for government work. Just a great firearm. Great choice.
