I also bought my first gun during the pandemic.

Glock19 from BassProShop in San Jose.

If no pandemic, I probably wouldn’t have bought one anytime soon.

Glocks are nice and compact. Have you shot it yet?

Glocks are extremely reliable and I do like my G21 a lot. I wish Glock used single action (SA) triggers instead of a striker fire system. I love how the SA 1911 shoots but they have a much lower capacity if they are chambered in 45 acp. I am actually looking for a good used 1911 chambered in 38 Super to get more capacity and better performance than the 9 mm. The 38 Super ballistics are very close to a 357 Magnum and it uses .357" bullets.

The CMMG Banshee in 9 mm uses Glock 19 magazines. This is also a great option to have in addition to the G19. I just hope the new ATF rule making for AR pistols fails or gets destroyed in court. I don't think SBRs are legal in California (pending final outcome of the 9th Circuit Court regarding ARs).

It's mostly true for rimfire. Centerfire guns usually tolerate dry firing pretty well.

You can dry fire a glock. Get a 17 though not a 19 unless you have tiny hands.

What are your potential next gun purchases?

For me:

Walther PPK - shot it recently and liked;
Winchester 94 - I liked John Wayne movies in my younger years;
Either PSL-54 or Zastava M-91 but these are too pricey these days.
M1 Garand or M14

I do like a lever gun with a can on the end! Winchester 94 or a Marlin 336 will be awesome. I also recommend that you look at the XS Sight system for them. It adds a rear peep sight and rail on top.

Some people like autoloading, but I am somewhat old-fashioned and prefer pump-action.

In CA you have to have a registered firearm and unregistered high capacity firearm. It’s the only way to have that level of safety.
