Do you own a Glock?

[Execpro]

Erocksmash: just get a new firing pin and spring. It will be good for another 15,000 rounds. 19X is a nice gun. Have a Glock 20 Gen 3 purchased about 15 years ago and purrs like a kitten.

Be SAFE and Shoot Often!

 

[THE PILGRIM]

Used to have a 40, now my Son has a 40.
I looked at the single stack 9 down at Cabela's.
If I buy another one, it'll be that one.

Don't own a Glock. Nothing against them, just prefer M&P's. That could all change over night if I find a deal on a 30sf.

 

[robvious]

don't have one... and I won't have one...
I have shot them... just doesn't fit my mit... it is not a "tupperware" hate thing... I have plastic fantastics by other manufacturers... mostly SIG...
are they a clone... not quite... not even close...

 

[okiegtrider]

No, and I don't keep venomous snakes at home, either.
I think both are inherently unsafe, by design.

The improved model Glocks are perfecter.

101% more perfecter.

Try the 30S. You'll like it.

Here's my quick take on Glock. I don't like the grip angle, plastic sights, trigger thingy, pulling the trigger to field strip, white markings on the sights, grip "feel", the slide stop, and most of all no thumb safety. They are reliable, accurate, and I shoot them well but all the guns I own are reliable, accurate, and I shoot them well also. So I don't really need a Glock but I would probably buy one to try for a while if they made a version with a thumb safety.

 

[ISCS Yoda]

NO!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have the model 23 that was presented to me when I retired from law enforcement. I had a 27 (I think), but gave it to my youngest son many years ago. The Glock is a fine, reliable firearm, but as Kurusu says, not very attractive. But reliable, sturdy, and lightweight. I will always keep mine, because I'm a very sentimental man, and I will never part with any of my duty firearms.

Best Regards, Les

I tried to find alternatives, but in the end the G26 is the most reliable CCW I've ever had. My G34 is a great bedstand gun with a light.

 

[Inusuit]

Yup, several Glocks.

M26 won at a Glock match raffle.
M19 my wife's pick when she moved to center fire handgun.
M23 used in several Glock matches and now the car gun in my Z350.
M20 because I wanted a 10 mm.

That said, my carry guns are either a Colt LW Commander in .38 Super or a Kahr P9.

 

[Rgbonej]

I have had a few but only own one now. A gen 3 17l. Shoots good enough I can't get rid of it. Its ALMOST as accurate as my 1911s....

 

[Old Corp]

Remembering one early-morning customer at the LGS where I once worked p/t talking to a co-worker.....I hadn't had my coffee yet.

A young-ish guy telling my buddy that he was gonna bring in "some old guns I inherited and don't care anything about....."

Asked by my buddy what they were and I overheard "Oh, a few - an old model 17, a 27, a 19 and I don't know what-all".

I almost tripped getting over to the counter where they stood.
Turns out he was referring to Glocks.
About ruined our day.

I have a Glock 17, 2nd generation. Was a "deal" at a gun show four years ago. I don't like it and won't use it for serious self defense. Don't like the light weight, the plastic, the crummy trigger, or its looks. It's not remarkably sturdy or reliable, no more so than some other automatics. I don't enjoy shooting it as much as the other automatics. For "perfection" it's woefully overrated as a handgun. It's a specimen while it is here and is subject to becoming trading goods.

I get that. I have three that were issue guns to me. Two S&W revolvers and a Glock 19.

 

[pawncop]

I have two (2). My 21C was a duty sidearm until the M&P 45 ACP came out. The other is my model 32 as my primary off duty sidearm for many years and is the one I chose to qualify with upon retirement.

 

[Gene L]

Maybe I'm wrong, but aesthetics seem to me to be right at the very bottom of considerations in a self-defense weapons. As for reliability and robustness, Glock can pretty stand on its record. Most LE agencies use Glocks or have used Glocks for agency use.

I've got handsome pistols and revolvers, so I appreciate good looks. I also appreciate function and usefulness, which is why the M-16 replaced the M 14. It's a superior weapon and was suited for the job, and so is the Glock, which hit the ground running. Most of the development issues were worked out by the time the pistol was introduced.

 

[AManWearingAHat]

19 and a 43x. I carry both and love them both. Not much "character" to them and I definitely have guns I prefer at the range. But they're great, reliable, utilitarian fighting pistols.

 

[DeathGrip]

Polymer 80 still in the box. I guess I need to collect some parts or sell the damn thing.

I voted #4. Even though it's just the frame.
