You have three choices.....

[AZretired]

Used to own a few Glocks, a 1911 and a Sig. All I have left is a Glock 26 and a bunck of S&W revolvers. Now that I'm retired I carry what I want, not what they say I have to.

I sold a G23 last week with a spare 9mm barrel. I picked up a Ruger SR9c and a p95. Cost combined new, for both was a bit more than I got for the G23. The 95 resides next to the bed. I'm going to all 9mm. This video review of the SR9c is a bit lengthy and verbose, but it why I like the gun.

.....and they're all Glocks. Yep. I've never owned or fired one, but am curious. Pick one and if you like, state your reasons why. Thanks

This is not hard. G-22RTF. No question about it. Have owned and played with 17, 21, 22. Very much prefer the 22. Nothing wrong with the others. Just simply prefer the 22. Reasons... extremely good combination of power, bullet weight, capacity. Size is just about perfect for the .40 S&W cartridge using any reasonable bullet weight. My 22RTF has been absolutely perfect in function and on target accuracy every since I bought it. To date it has fired right at 3,000 rds. It has been in every respect excellent. POA is POI. Out to 15 yds., I can put 15 rounds into 2.5 inches or less firing from a two-handed standing hold. Out to 25 yds., I can shoot it almost as good as I can my .44 Special 21-4 firing double-action. And, of extreme importance to me... my wife likes and uses well the 22 at home defense distances, i.e., 10 yds. or less. As far as beauty and esthetics are concerned, some say pretty is as pretty does. By that standard, the G-22RTF is nothing less than the perfection of the pistol. Others say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. By that standard, the G-22RTF is to some beautiful like a A-10 Warthog. To others, it is less appealing. For simple beauty and grace, it is hard to beat the 9mm Luger pistol or the .38 Special S&W M&P revolver. I very much like the G-22RTF. It is a tremendous pistol. It is one of my most often handled and fired handguns. JMHO. Sincerely. bruce.

I love my Smiths, Colts, Rugers and some others ........ but if I knew I was going in harms way, I would be reaching for my only Glock.... a G23.

I’ve owned older generation G22’s and G23’s. Neither would run with a light attached.

I now own two G19’s and a G26.

How I came to it was unique to my circumstances. Before the last Presidential election I bought the two G19’s and plenty of mags. One for each for my daughters when they become older. I also wish I’d never seen the likes of a 40 S&W caliber gun, and kept it simple to buying and sorting 9mm and 45 acp brass. I bought the G26 for my wife, though she shot the 40 cals without trouble.

Bigger is always better when it comes to both guns and bullets, but I can live with the 9mm in my case. The G17-19’s are kind of the AK of pistols.

So far, the vote is going as I expected. As previously mentioned, I have zero experience with Glocks. Last week, I did handle a G19 in the shop. It didn't feel bad. I'm still partial to Smiths and will probably die feeling the same.

One point that was brought up made a lot of sense. If I had to use a gun to defend myself, I wouldn't mind if the cops confiscated a Glock. I'd feel pretty bad about losing a S&W. Guess that's the best reason for having a piece of Tupperware next to the bed.

At home a valid point.

However when carrying I never get it. The gun on your hip is probably the safest gun in your collection at that time, due to the chances of using it in a self defense shooting, vs. fire or theft at home.

However everybody needs a Glock for air travel because who cares if it’s stolen

I voted Glock 19. I own a G19, 2 G20s, a G23 w/ .357 Sig bbl, and a G27 w/ .357 Sig bbl. I currently use the G23 w/ ,357 Sig bbl as my CCW as well as my HD gun.

Obviously, everyone's hands are different (as are their tastes), so we're never going to all agree on one gun, and that's just fine.

I have to chuckle, however, at all of the "no plastic guns for me" comments...especially after the proven strength and longevity of the pistol, not to mention that every company under the sun has marketed their own "plastic" gun since the Glock, even S&W. A hundred years ago, these same folk would be saying, "these new-fangled self-loaders will never catch on", and in the late '30s, "I'll never trust that Garand...it'll never be better than the Springfield", etc, etc.

I imagine it's been the same story down through the centuries...people resist, and even fear, change.

I suppose someday I will own a polymer gun, the same day they make a polymer criminal. Until then I think I will stick with all steel.

Haha! Okay...so, I guess you're saying that currently all criminals are made of steel? By that logic...shouldn't your pistol be made of flesh? Ewww...no thanks!

Meh...to each his own.

I shoot a Mod 19 that's not a K frame 357...

... from time to time.

I even have a Kel-Tec in .32 cal, it's not ALL blue steel & wood at my house!

Another G***K thread gone sour. I'll give my input.. "Don't hit your brother in the head with a shovel. It'll leave a bad impression on his mind"!

I have several polymer guns, Sigma, M&P, Kahr, Ruger LCP, & Sig Sauer. Like them all, & they fill a certain niche for me. But, I despise the Glock grip angle, to me Glock ergonomics are terrible, so I voted None.

 

[lazy]

As soon as I can sell off my sig .45 ill be getting a G23.
I can make it a 9mm and use 33rnd happy sticks.

 

[S&W-Keeper]

I fought the Glock thing for a long time, I now have a 27,30, and a 19. I thing everybody should own a 19. It feels good.

 

[sw44spl]

I picked the 19.for ccw it is nice that it holds 16 rounds.and it is not heavy.

 

[RobertJ.]

I've never owned a Glock. I'm not likely to in the future. They're ugly, and they don't fit my hand. And I'm not going to pay that much for a piece of plastic, I don't care if it does spit bullets out the end.

But, I do have a certain amount of respect for them. I have experience with a 19, 22, 23, and 26. I've never seen one malfunction, and they always shoot right where I put the sights. If I had to pick one, it would be a 27. Concealable, powerful enough, and you can carry a spare mag with a lot of shots. I just don't want one.

Let's be nice, people. Some folks like Glucks.

 

[stantheman86]

I have a Glock 17 because at the time I felt every "gun guy" should own at least one copy of a Glock.

I'm happy with it as a tool that shoots 9mm, but it's not more than that to me. I fired it 2 months ago and still haven't cleaned it yet, if that says anything...when I get around to it, it will clean up good as new and sit for another 2 or 3 years.......when I fire my wheelguns I'll toss and turn at night if one's put away dirty.

I tend to open my safe and "fondle" my S&W and Ruger wheelguns......I never do this with my Glock.

To each his own.....some people are as passionate about poly pistols as I am about steel revolvers.

Doesn't the flashlight on your 3rd Gen G19 blind you at night?

To battle the all-steel criminal?
