New G39 owner

[Abolish]

Well yesturday I got my new G39 and man does it look sweet. I can't wait to take it to the range, either tomorrow or saturday. Can anyone suggest a good place to get the pierce grip? I've been floating around these forums for a while now contemplating on whether to get the G30 or G39. I'm a pretty big guy so I was leaning toward the G30 but I finally decided that I would be fine with the 39 plus I really liked the fact that you could conceal the 39 a lot better than the 30. The only real thing that got me worried was the new GAP round. I was afraid that it might not do too good but from the looks of it all you guy's/girl's are happy and are able to get the ammo with no problems. Anyways i'll stop rambling, just wanted to let you guy's know about the new member in the family ;f Btw whats the best place to get the pierce grip?

Congrats! It is a cute gun, isn't it? And a .45 at that. I love mine. At first, I had problems finding ammo, but started ordering by the case on the web, and all is ok. I got used to shooting it without an extended grip, so I don't know about Pierce. Did you know that the G39 is the lightest Glock available? Anyway, I like everything about it. Enjoy!

Keep us posted on the range report. Have a G38 and love it. Seriously eyeing a G39 for the next addition to the GAP family.

going today after work. i'm excited. Should I clean it before hand or is the lube from factory good enough to go straight to the range?

I would at least oil - per the manual. Not much needed, just to make sure the slide does just that - slides. A good cleaning of the bore wouldn't help if the gun wasn't always in it's case before the sale.

Well I finally went on friday to the range. Took the lady and a few friends that had never been shooting before. I took an AR-15, Ruger Mark II .22lr And the G39. My initial thought on the 39 was wow this has a pretty good kick to it but It felt that way because I did not have the pierce grip but after a few rounds I was able to get good groups in. I enjoyed shooting it a lot so it looks like its a keeper.
:cool:
Here are some pictures of my G39.

How loud is the 45 gap?

No louder than the .45ACP. IMO, .40 is louder to me than the .45.

And that is what makes a 45 so sweet, less pressure, less noise, better(IMHO) recoil feel.

It does it all.
