Bought a Glock today

[chief38]

I think Glocks are very reliable, high capacity fighting tools and if I were a LEO that's what I would carry (ugly as they are).

Since I'm not in the LEO profession and can't carry more than 10 rounds in my Nanny State anyway, I don't own one as I'm not a Polymer or Plastic fan & I'd rather but another 1911 or 1903 Colt pocket Pistol instead - but (normally) don't carry them either.

My EDC is still a M60-7 It's light, compact, powerful with the BB or GD loads and slips into a pocket with ease. I prefer a M60 every day in any weather over a big, bulky Glock sometimes in some weather. Once you get into the compact Glock 43's which are much more concealable and lighter, I see less of an advantage over the old fashioned revolver as the capacity isn't all that much better. As reliable as the smaller Glocks have gotten they are still behind the revolver IMO.

My first purchase of a "high" capacity handgun was a S&W model 459,way back in the 80s. It was very inaccurate and unreliable right out of the box.Ammo choice made no difference. I sent it back to S&W 3 times and then sold it,after S&W told me 4" groups at 10 yards was "acceptable" accuracy. I swore off self loading pistols until a law enforcement friend started to shoot at the range with me. His Glock 19 was accurate and dependable.He never even cleaned it. I ended up buying one and became a loyal owner.I now own 6 or 7 of them at last count. They may not be "handsome" but in their own rights..they are as good looking as an Abrams tank and just as deadly. I will always be a fan of them as they have proved themselves worthy of my respect. From my cold dead hands.

Only thing that matters in a gun

Glock 43 at 15 yards

Glock 21 at 20 yards

Glock 22 15 yards

If it looks good but you can't shoot it whats the point? Has anyone entered their car tires in beauty contests? Did anyone care?

That Sig you bought isn't that much different looking.

No way...Sigs are much better looking. Almost as pretty as 3rd gen S&Ws.

He bought a gen. 1 Sig P250 not long ago; they aren't that pretty.
I know, because I have four P250's myself.

P250f .45 a.c.p. and a P250c 9mm.

P250c in 9mm and .40 S&W.

I switched from a Colt Commander to a G26 a couple of years ago. Got a deal on a G22 & G27 and traded the G26 for a G43. Modified the G27 to 357 Sig. Didn't like it, so I went back to the (modified) G27. Best accuracy of the group. Liked it so much, I converted my G22 to 357 Sig.

Wife liked them so much, she had me get her TWO G43=one for nightstand and one for purse.

Also have a G20 for woods walking

Every time I say I'm done with buying Glocks I buy one a few weeks or months later.

I traded my last one, a G23/19 combo, for my '71 19-3 4" TT,TH,WO,RR nickel.

Truly you must buy at least a Gen 3 39 or 59 series and a SWaMPy 2.0 and two J and / or L frames; to make amends with the universe.

Who bought a used Glock 19 Gen 2 on a whim, the add-ons and 6 magazines were just ummm...welll....

 

[ky wonder]

I own three a 17l, and a 42, and my 35 is carried daily by my LEO son on duty, I have a 357 sig barrel as well for the 35 and a couple hundred rounds of ammo and it makes a difference the 357 sig is a power house

I am a old walnut and blue steel gun guy, but in a pistol, "pretty is as pretty does" and a glock does pretty very good

 

[greenmachine]

I hate my Glocks about twice a week.

 

[madoka]

Currently own 95 Glocks. Hope to break 100 soon.

 

[sniper007]

I have a G17, and a G27 (40 S&W) with conversion barrels for 357 Sig and 9mm. One would never call them beautiful, as I do my S&W revolvers, but it's nice to have choices.

 

[mrchuck]

I still shoot my Smith&Wesson SW40c.
This is the EXACT model that Glock based their lawsuit on.
Yes,,,,it is almost a GLOCK copy.
Glock won, an S&W paid them millions and millions(7) of dollars.
S&W had to re-organize after this fiasco.

Reorganize after only $7 million? I'm not saying that a little sum just figured that kind of money for a company like SW would already be set aside for lawsuits and such

Interesting, that barrel in the OP looks like one I purchased for my Browning Hi Powers. It worked, but not of an improvement to replace the OEM barrel. Still have it in safe somewhere. As for Glocks, I have a 23 and 36 I carry on a regular basis. Hard to drop an ole habit as we issued them for the last 20 yrs I was on the job. My 1st love is S&W revolvers still. What I learned to shoot handguns on. Hard to beat em....

Glock model 32 (357 Sig, compact) is my primary off duty sidearm.

Carried a 21C (45 ACP, ported) for several years until the M&P 45 ACP came out as my primary duty sidearm.

Excellent tools. No soul.

 

[dr. mordo]

I always keep one Glock to remind myself how much I don't like them. Currently it's a G19.

That said, the one Glock I truly like is the G42, which is fairly unique when compared to other micro-sub-compact .380s.

 

[zeke]

Have 2 Glocks. First got a Gen 4 G19. Discovered how well that big white outline and front dot worked, especially out of focus (old man eyes). It stays as an option. Than got a G42 for locked breech .380 and those cheap sights, that just work. The PPK is going by by next year.

Still don't like the triggers, but can adjust.

Congrats,I own to Glock's myself.
