The most important one considering the Indian market situation

"Price Comparision"

Avalibility of ammo

& lastly does it suit your requirements

I have voted for the glock as I have already used the Beretta 81FS.

Variety is the spice of life!

Hello Friends!
Well never preffered the .32 rounds except for the easy availability of the ammo in India. Having not taking into consideration the price for getting the same and that it comes under the PB would anyday go for the .38. And i personally consider the Glocks are masterpieces alongwith the custom fitted tactical light. Anyday would feel comfortable with a 17 rounds mag. Well but taking Indian context into consideration would love the Glock G32 in .357 which is also legal in India. Except would find it Etopia if our dear old IOF manufactures the ammo.
In the meantime happy shooting with the .22 and .32 ammo man.
Love
Jayanta

When I voted for the Glock, it was its first vote in 3 .. but looks like everyone loves it. Sturdy dependable and accurate marvel that it is.. you can find several videos that display the consistency and dependability of the glock after firing a few hundred rounds... :)
