Glock to carry
RJ, I believe gen 3 Glocks have the picatiny rail beneath the barrel. Otherwise, Glocks are one of the most proven and reliable carry guns ever made. Also, if this is going to be a carry gun, you may wish to check into used guns at gun stores and pawn shops near you, as the finish will not matter as much after 6 months of carry! The money you save can buy a lot of practice ammo. If you don't find them locally, try the sites mentioned by others above, and also GunBroker.com or GunsAmerica.com.
