Glocks are great. They can be considered pedestrian in some ways, but they do what you need them to do every time with no frills. Plus, the magazines are mostly all interchangeable.
Oh good grief the New York of today is transplants from other states who come to pursue their dream of calling themselves a New Yorker when in fact they weren't even born there in the first place.
The real New York died along time ago, it does nothing for me personally nor never really has and I was born and raised an hour north of it.
NYC was once a great city filled with different types of folks, blue-collar, white-collar, foreigners, everyone enjoyed the city and what it had to offer. Gentrification and progressive liberalism destroyed what was once the worlds greatest city.
Thank the lord it became a transplant magnet, because what you call the real New York was full of filth and crap. Bloomberg has done wonders for the city. Haters are gonna hate because they got priced out of the core of the city, Manhattan.
The difference between my New York and your New York is my New York was real crap, your New York is fake and phony crap.
Manhattan is a wonderful city to see, there is no doubt about that but all those who praise gentrification should realize that the soul of three city, the small business owners of real Italian restaurants, Jewish delis, bicycle shops, and old school neighborhoods with culture and history become jeaopordized with new development, gentrification, and artificially inflated rents. It's the same as someone wanting to build a apartment complex and shopping on the fields of Gettysburg. Nobody really seems to appreciate historic preservation or American history, the younger folks want new and glittery.
Finally I'm not an NYC hater, I was born and raised an hour north of it and although enjoyed my visits into the city, Yankee Stadium, the Bronx Zoo, I never had a desire to live in the city nor as a technical guy never needed the city for employment. Skilled technicians can find work anywhere.
I understand why the transplants come, young, educated, looking for good jobs, makes sense. But instead of trying to change it why not embrace it for what it is, take the opportunity to explore a new city, and leave it how you found it when you go. Let's be honest nobody really stays in NYC forever, they come to jump start careers and when it's time to start families they're gone. These people have no interest in community.
This is ridiculous. You're "old New York" was built by the last generation of transplants. NYC has been a city of transplants for most of it's existance.

People tend to label anything in NYC they don't like as transplant, phoney, or, horror of horrors middle American.

Why should the last generation of businesses be given any advantage over the next generation? A lot of people just don't like change. Too damn bad. Get over it.

I couldn't agree more. Anyone who lived through the 70's, 80's and 90's and is against gentrification is either a fool or can't afford to live here.
Transplants come here because big box companies like Walmart has killed the local businesses in their states and town which result in the loss of jobs and there are jobs here because there exist one of the biggest scams in the country called Wall street.'
Most transplants come here only to work for places like Starbucks or wait tables for perhaps $2-5/hr more than what they pay down south.
All I can say is based on this pages posted comments the pride and heritage of old New York is surely dead. I thank the lord that I moved out of the state of New York in 96. Had I never got orders to deploy I might still be there arguing with the Millenials in person instead of on a forum.
BTW I just picked up a Glock 9 with a 17 round mag and 1 up the pipe. It's sweet, man.
If you live in ny that 17 rd mag is not legal.
