| i love glocks
i think they look awesome
i've shot 44 mags and love em' recoil is not a problem at all.
i allmost perfer a gun with a little kick.
price of gun dosen't really matter
the gun would mainly be used for finishing off wounded game
hunting small game
target shooting
crazy!!!!!
(Hey, looks like you have already answered you own question!!!)
My vote is for the Glock Model 20C. Anything less and you'd really be crazy. |

| Check out the New Glock 21sf with the picatinny rails. I have one and it is awsome!!!!!! They run for about $464 at officer price out of OMBEXPRESS magazine and you can look up their website online at www.ombexpress.com the regular retail of the pistol is about $700-800. |

| Go to a range that rents those models and try them. My preference is the 19 for CCW but I "don't hunt small game". I also use a modified 17 for competition. Also check your local hunting regs before you take any pistol hunting. They don't care if it is a dispatch gun or not, it has to meet minimum requirements. |

| Get a 19 or 23 and relax. They are compact models and ammo is reasonably priced. |

| I agree 100% with DJ on this one. The Glock 20C in 10mm auto is a great choice. 10mm will give you the kick you can enjoy all with the ability to hunt, finish game, and punch paper. The Glock 20C should be available in all black, and if you don't like the compensated barrel you can always go with the base model Glock 20. Plus if you like accessories, the 3rd generation Glock 20 has an integral rail on the bottom of the frame forward of the trigger guard for whatever you may feel like adding.
The gun isn't too badly priced, ammo isn't cheap, but if reloading is your cup of tea it can be done if you use jacketed bullets and good brass. Glocks are sometimes tough on brass so don't expect all your empties to be reloadable, but it will save some of the ammo cost if you care to do it.
Plus you don't have to worry about the 20 being too small like a compact or sub-compact, it is definitely full sized. |

| From what you are saying you really only have a couple of caliber choices in Glocks (which incidently, offer more caliber choices than any other semi-automatic): The 10mm or the .357 Sig.
Glock actually builds a model they call the 'hunter.' This is the full-size Glock Model 20 in 10mm. You can order a 6" barrel from Glock for about $130 more dollars. The Model 29 is the compact 10mm Glock. Or you can opt for the .357 Sig which is the full size Glock Model 31 (compact & sub compact Glock models also availabe in this caliber). I would not bother with the compensated 'C' model Glocks, but that's just me. I don't like compensated models except in the very large, specialized calibers.
The other models you asked about (in calibers: 9mm, .40 S & W or even either one of the .45s, the GAP or acp) simply are NOT hunting calibers. I'd go with the 10mm myself.
Almost forgot... Ammo price will be a concern but it won't put you in the poor house. If cost of gun is not an issue then consider buying two Glocks, a nine for plinking & one for hunting. Last time I bought ammo for my Model 20 10mm I spent $30+ dollars per box of 50.
Best.

| If you're looking to hunt small game and finish off other game, I would suggest you choose a revolver in .357 magnum. It's got more stopping power than a 9mm or .40 S&W and is more practical for hunting. Or if you still want an auto pistol for hunting, look at the Desert Eagle; that is if price REALLY doesn't matter to you. |

| 9mm is dirt cheap, even in factory loads, starting at about $8/50 in my area. I love the full size Glock model 22 in .40 S&W caliber. Economy wise, if you like Glocks and want to shoot as cheap as possible with factory loads, go with the full size Glock model 17. I recommend full size guns, because they are NOT as difficult to conceal as most people make them to be. |

| If you are just basing this on looks and coloring then don't get one,You are obviously not ready for the responsibility.If you have never shot a Glock then go to a range that has many pistols available for you to try out,you may find one you like better.Granted I love Glock and alternate my carry from a Glock 23 to a Springfield XD 40 there are just too many choices to say"They look awesome!!" As far as ammo prices go 9mm is fairly cheap and .40 and .45 are not that much different,There are many sources such as http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/ to find good deals |

| i really liked glocks. out department was issued the glock model 22,40 cal.i never had a single problem after firing several thousand roundsit seems tha the best gun is the one you shoot the best.when the glock gets a little sweat it becomes very slippery. it will be very hard to handle. i actuallu used a little sand paper trying to make the finish no do slick.when qualifying i always shot expert with the mdl 22. i tried and tried but just never could get a tight group.over the years i never had a single jamb or stove pipe.the problem was just could not get a tight group.
i retired 8 years ago.i wanted sonething with just a little more knock down power and bigger bullet.i purchased a xustomized springfield armory 1911 a-1.this past wednesday i went to the department ranfe, retired officers can carry but have to qualify 1 time a year.i took my 45 and to that day i had not fired the gun.our range furnished the ammo,230gr round nose bullet.while waiting my turn my nerves were really bad. when i found out i had to shoot with 19 fbi agents i threw up. no one wants to be embarased.my handling of the gun was very rusty.it felt like i had all thumbs.just as i was trained the concentration kicked in.out of a possible 100 i shot 100.the highest fbi score was 93 whicj is still very good.
i was always a colt man and did not thinbk there was another gun that shot as well.after shooting the springfield i was shocked.it was the smoothest gun i have ever shot.it barely kicked. it felt like it had shock absorbers.extremely smoot and eadly accurate.if i had known this i would have carried the springfield.you will not find a better shooting and as well made as the springfield.out rang master carries the same gun.i shot the springfield armory 45 auto,1911 a-1.
it should always boil down to what gun you shoot the best.do not even think about a brand or the way it looks.remember the saying,you get what you pay for.good luck.
