Bought ME A Glock

[jimmyj]

MAIN QUESTION:
Does your Mother know you purchased a GLOCK ??

Glocks are a great pistol and have been proven dependable worldwide. My wife has a model 19 9mm and it is a fine gun. My only complaint is the polygonal rifling in the barrel which doesn't allow loading cast bullets. You can shoot them, but the shallow rounded lands don't grip them well enough to stabilize them. I wish they came with a cut rifled barrel.

 

[Stirling]

I think you did well choosing your .45. Yes some prefer to carry a different pistol but for size, weight and firepower you'd be hard pressed to find something better. Get some night sights and a decent holster.

I like my Kahr's a lot better than my Glocks.
Just fits my hand better.

I have the Lone Wolf (Alpha Wolf) barrels in mine with no problems and a tad more accurate.

Glock 36....the only Glock I really like. I've had mine for years, and for civilian concealed carry, I think it's about perfect. I do carry a Kahr CM9, when dress dictates, but the Glock 36 is a great carry piece. The only problem I encountered was "Glock knuckle", but a little work with some sandpaper and Dremel took care of that, and no problem now.

You did well, Grasshopper.......

I hate Glocks. Somehow I managed to own 4 of them and carry one almost daily. Today it was a G26 in a G19 holster with a G17 mag for back up.

I think you got one of the best CC big bore guns.
It's not high capacity, but if 7 .45s don't work, I'm not sure what will.
It's thinner than the 30, its light as heck and its combat accurate without very much recoil for what you're launching. I've shot it and found that it fits my hand better than any other Glock I've shot.
It ain't pretty, but that's not why you bought it, was it?

This is one of the first autos I have ever purchased, and my first Glock...It's the Glock G36 in .45 auto. I got it because i'm sick of banging up revolvers and worrying about their ability to take abuse, I wanted something about the same size, weight, and stopping power per round as one of my main carry guns-the Ruger SP101(357)...The G36 seemed to be the perfect solution.

Shot it today a bit, basically zero recoil compared to the SP101, and 2 extra rounds of that man stopper 45! Got to love that big muzzle hole!

Exactly what "abuse" are you worried about with your revolvers ? I beat the hell out of my j-frame and never had a problem, lot less to break ..SP101 is built like a tank too...did something happen to yours ?

Everyone should have at least one utilitarian glock. I have the 26 and for big bore the 10mm g20. I love the 20. I keep all my 1911s in the safe and bring them out to clean and fondle. But the glock is great to toss in the truck or run it on the weekend at IDPA.

I bought a Glock 30 in 1999. I have put exactly 100 rounds through it since the day I bought it. It is well made, seems very reliable, is very accurate, and may be the softest shooting gun in 45 ACP that I have ever fired. I can find very little wrong with it, except for the fact that it is plastic. I just can't warm up to plastic guns. It just sits in my safe waiting for me to find it a new home. The Sig P220 ruined me for all other semi-autos in 45 ACP. Can't knock Glocks. Can't love 'em either.

I've had a Gen 4 Glock 26 for a while now, Great CCW. A perfect fit for my hands. In a pinch I toss it in my pocket. 10+1

I fully understand your sentiment. But, would you throw your Sig under the seat of your vehicle? Leave it in the glove box? Leave it at the hunt camp?
I wouldn't. Nor would I really do the same to a Glock, but if I had to choose....? No tears would be shed.

I love the way my Glock 23 speaks to me as I stare at it with glossy eyes when it's laying on the coffee table. As my fingertips slowly caress the dull black polymer lower and liquid ferritic nitrocarburized coated upper I feel chills of excitement. The polymer and I are one, the way the textured grip and the finger groves fits my hand like a well worn leather glove. The trigger, yes that safe action trigger, with it's 5 and half pound pull that I have grown to count on being consistent with every tug of my trigger finger. I know I can count on my Glock to be there for me when I need it, just like I'm there for it as I slowly rub a light synthetic lubricant over every nook and granny. Some, who have no love for Glock's, have called it ugly, but they have not come to appreciate it's boxy, but shapely form, the way I have. It's spirit speaks to me again saying "trust me, and I will never let you down!"

Great choice. As the owner of a G17 and G23 at age 25 and then the G22 at age 42. That means my next purchase for the "must have" G30S will be at age 59. Lol.

I appreciate the Glocks I have, but not quite in the same way you do.
Maybe you were spoofing( a polymer term)

I would only do that with my P7.

Yeah, my version of poking fun at the blued steel and wood guys who claim their old 1911's and Model 29's have a soul and "speak" to them when they hold it.

I did order a holster last week before going to pick out a Glock.

This is why one should not buy a holster...before buying the gun!

 

[BigBill]

Bought a glock? I'm sorry for you. At least it's in 45acp. Kidding.

I don't plan on owning one yet. I feel owning a glock is like owning a plastic m14.
