Do you own a Glock?

[Gripgrabber]

I'm up to only three, a 19-4, a 23-3, and a 30SF. Accurate and reliable.

No anti-Glock sentiment here, and no disdain for polymer either. When my department transitioned to semi-autos in the mid 80's, Glocks just weren't on my radar. I own and shoot S&W revolvers for enjoyment, but I recognize the size, weight and capacity advantages of a semi-auto for real-world applications. Mine just happen to be Sigs.

HA! Even your hosting site says "Friends don't let friends buy Glocks!"

 

[GerSan69]

Glocks are the opiate of the shooting sport masses. They're what the Soviets would have designed if they stuck around a few more years. Bland, mass-produced, monotonous widgets.

 

[Puller]

I don't think walnut and blued guns have a "soul", they're just guns. I happen to think a G22 or G23 are among the best combat handgun available.

 

[sheepdawg]

No Glocks but I have two M&Ps. They are good for carry but have no character.

My last purchase was a Sig P220. No Glock can touch it IMHO.

I won't put down a Glock but they just don't melt my butter.

Owned a 21 then sold it. Bought a DPD 22 to go with my DPD M&P 40.

A don't own a Glock. I have seen, handled and shot them. Don't like 'em. Feel terrible in my hand, the trigger sucks and they're butt ugly. I never will own one.
Not a big fan of plastic all together. I own exactly one plastic framed gun and it serves a very specific purpose. BTW: it has a hammer.
My best friend was a Glock-o-phile. But even the best of us has our faults, so I finally forgave him.

I have a glock 19. Haven't shot it in a long time. I'm certain it still works. It's hidden in my living room along with a 33 round mag. It's sole purpose is high capacity self defense in a hurry just in case. It's ugly. I don't carry it. Don't hate it though. It works. It's reliable. It's accurate. Not my cup of tea. But it works. I like my m&p better. But I like the high capacity magazines. That said. A 38 or 357 is always within reach.

 

[alwslate]

I own four at the present time. Three 9mms, 19, 26 and a 43 and a 42
.380. Mine aren't for sale and I'm not really looking for any more right
now but I would love to see a 42 size .22 LR. Maybe someday

I own several Glock pistols and although other pistols are prettier, have better ergonomics, and have more bells and whistles, I find the Glock to be one of the best combat pistols made. I carried one for several years until I retired from law enforcement. Glocks are a simple design,reliable, easy to work on, and replacement parts are readily available if needed.

In a way, if you own ANY polymer framed, striker-fired semi-auto...it is essentially a Glock. IMO most of what is available on the market is a direct copy of the Glock...with minor cosmetic and mechanical variations purposely added in to make it less obvious. I always laugh whenever a manufacturer comes out with a "new" pistol...as it usually looks Glockoid. The latest copy is the IWI Masada

 

[Goldstar225]

I'm a function over form kinda person and I carried a Glock as my issued duty weapon for 23 years. While I respect them as reliable, durable and sufficiently accurate I didn't "mate" with them solely because they didn't fit my hand well. I always wished Glock would come out with a single stack .40. I received my G23 upon retirement and it went into the safe, emerging about once a year for a trip to the range.

Then about a month ago I bought a Glock 48. With the exception of the cartridge this is the Glock I had been hoping for and I'm well pleased with it.

It won't replace my Shield as my EDC but it will be used.

 

[Yaworski]

Glock confuses me. They've long advertised "Glock Perfection" but they keep coming out with improved models. By definition, perfection cannot be improved so Glocks are not and never have been perfect.

 

[Old Corp]

This has helped me realize I'm a bit of a hypocrite.
In conversations with other gun guys, like many here, I'll profess to loathe poly-pistols.
We've all heard the analogies - I compare my used, LE-trade G19 to my Estwing hammer. A great tool that reliably does all it's designed for and does it well. There's almost zero pride of ownership, but you can count on it working.

Then, realized that there's a few other poly-pistols I own and have stellar results with.....
Summer pocket carry 98% of the time is a Kahr PM9 I bought in the late 90's when it was about the only 'tiny 9' on the market. Still works great for that.

Wife owns and shoots two polys - a KelTec P3AT .380 occasionally and a S&W M&P 9mm Compact. Both have been extremely reliable.

I attended a S&W Armorer's Course some years back and was handed a voucher to get any M&P auto for the sum of $200. I didn't really want one all that much, but gosh - $200. Yeah, I checked the block for a M&P midsize .45 with thumb safety (per my M1911 proclivities). It's been a great gun and the one I use for occasional security contracting work.

So, guess I need to reign in any overt poly bashing, since it's obvious there really is a place for them. Heirlooms? No, but good no-nonsense tools.

 

[delcrossv]

One. A G42 that I bought for my rather insistent daughter. Out of all the semiautos I own, it is the most picky and least reliable.

Displays all of the bad behavior that folks mention with .380's.

I will not be buying another.

 

[Linejudgemick]

I've never owned a Glock and until recently hadn't even shot one. I believe they are reliable, quality firearms, but they just don't feel good in my hands and don't point naturally for me. I'll stick to my M&Ps, CZs, etc., but understand why not everyone feels that way.

 

[peterGun]

I own 1(gen2 G23) would have more but S&W semiautos are cheaper for equal quality.

I've never owned a Glock. I'm very familiar with them; I attended their armorers course twice over the years and have fired probably thousands of rounds thru a variety of models but I never caught the bug. Glocks are good, basic tools but I'm not a fan of the platform.

I take it you don't know very much about the design specs of the Glock, nor many of the other polymer framed, striker-fied, semiautomatic pistols on the market today. Because honestly, to say that they're all Glock clones is such a gross oversimplification that you might as well be saying that all steel framed, hammer-fired, semiautomatic pistols on the market today are just clones of the 1911.
