From an BHP to a G19, first impressions.
I inherited by BHP from my old man, which he carried for 30 odd years, I have been carrying it for six. So yesterday was quite a sad day for me when she was officially taken off the duty roster and placed into retirement, now only to be used as a range toy.
I am a huge fan of the BHP, I loved the weight on my belt, the little loving nudge of the hammer as it dug into my love handles especially when getting into a car and the manual safety. Seeing Big T trying to bypass my mag safety on his course was amusing as well.
Or so I thought.
But since having the G19 on my hip, there is no heavy weight, no annoying hammer, no external safety to worry about and perhaps a kiss on the cheek from T for buying a Glock on his next course.
Carrying it is worlds apart and now I am regretting not buying it sooner. I am now 100% a Glock Fan Boy.
What is quite strange is that my wife says I am printing much less with it than my BHP.
Looking forward to the next couple of years!

Re: From an BHP to a G19, first impressions.
Know what, myself now thinking way into the future, I believe there is going to be the same type of post, maybe a lot of them to the tune of:
So I have at last put my CZ to retirement and started to carry a Glock. No more annoying spur in my love handles, no hammers and safeties and thingies that snag on clothing....
I have nothing against a CZ as a shooting gun, but nothing beats a Glock 19 for serious capabilities everyday carry. You will enjoy it, believe me

Love my G19 on my hip. Don’t think I’ll ever be able to EDC anything other than a Glock. 😌

I transitioned from a (similarly sized) CZ75 to a G19 about 27 years ago. Still love the CZ but never missed it on my belt.
