. Whilst a hunting license in Germany allows you unlimited rifles and shotguns and combination guns, it only allows you 2 handguns and these have to be preapproved by the local police firearms unit - unlike rifles and shotguns which you can buy over the counter. I have a small S&W .38 which a friend convinced me to buy for small money, which I sometimes carry when hunting pigs. One of our hunting group is retiring from hunting and I have picked up his Glock 19 Gen 3 for USD 150/- Registered at the police within 4 days and off to the range tomorrow afternoon! Never owned a pistol before, used many but first time owning one. Every review I have read and watched on the Gen 3 seems pretty good. Will see for myself now. Happy days! .

. Spent some time at the range - 10 mags x 5 rounds, targets at 25 m (standard range in most German clubs), pretty accurate and easy to shoot. Happy days! . "Up the ladders and down the snakes!" | |||

My G19 will eat anything I feed it. I have intentionally mixed the rounds in the magazine and it just spits them out. I forget which Gen mine is - I think 3rd, but can't recall. | |||

I own and have shot Glocks since the 80's. I was a armorer for a 500 man department that used Glocks when I left. They are good handguns. But any of the Major manufactures out there make good handguns. But with any thing made on a assembly line a small percentage come through with problems. | |||

. p dog shooter - thanks for sharing that info. Here in Germany / Europe carry is forbidden so the Glock that I have now got will serve 2 purposes - 1/ as a follow up on wounded pigs when hunting at night and if necessary to follow a blood trail with my dog after a wounded pig 2/ for driven pig hunts in winter - again if a wounded pig / deer or if the dogs bay up a pig. I don't like carrying a rifle when going with the dogs as it just gets caught on all the brush and trees et cetera. Hence I decided for a handgun and then the chance came up to buy the Glock 19 Gen 3! Will see how things go! . "Up the ladders and down the snakes!" | |||

I have followed up wounded and non wounded bears in very thick brush, swamps ect. While a pack of hounds have had them bayed. I have found that a 41 or 44 mag revolver Works well. Gets the adrenaline running for sure. When ones gets within muzzle touching distance. To place the shot so one doesn't endanger the hounds. | |||

Exactly! Agree with you on the 40 mags but have gone with the 9 mill as it will cover my bases on driven boar and deer here in Germany plus easy ammo and easy at the range! . "Up the ladders and down the snakes!" | |||
