I loves me some hot Glock action and, when the zombies come, I’ll be ready with 17+1 rounds of 9mm hollow points to jack up their day.

It feels good in the hand and can easily be put to task for camp and survival duties.

The handle is hollow but plugged. Remove the plug and you can attach to a shaft (hee hee) and you got yourself a spear.
