POTD: Yin Yang – GLOCK Gen2 And Gen5

Published: September 14th, 2017
Ok, do not hold this against me, but the first defensive pistol I owned was a Smith & Wesson Sigma chambered in .40S&W. What can I say, I was young, vulnerable and wandering around a gun show. The kicker was that next to the Sigma, the seller had a table full of Gen2 Glocks. Two decades later and the Sigma is long gone and I am left begging for Gen2 pictures. Luckily, Chris from Hansohn Brothers had just picked up a brand new Gen 5 G19 to replace his well worn Gen2.
At any rate, I’ve been looking for a few comparison images and, rather than traveling back in time to tell myself to pick the Glock, I got a little help from some friends. Enjoy.

My third issue auto [ after the wheel guns ] was a Sigma,and I still own it as it came with my dept's badge etched into the slide.
AND it sits in the safe.
Went to police instructor firearms school at Camp Smith in Peekskill.
Went with the Sigma, graduated with a Glock 23 that I had on dept letterhead.
I retired with my SW40C.
Never a problem!
