Do you own a Glock?

[Bill Bates]

My nightstand gun is a Glock 30SF .45acp. It is a bit blocky and ugly but it is 100 reliable. I added Trijicon HD sights because one I really don't like the standard Glock sights and two with the large U notch of the rear sight and big dot front I can my old eyes can see the sights. Plus, what's not to love about 13 plus 1 rounds of .45 acp in a fighting handgun.

If someone gave me one I would sell it. Not a plastic gun person, any
make not just Glocks.

I have 2 and have owned more in the past. They are very reliable.

I will probably never carry them because I like safeties on my automatics. Most all of the AD's I read about are plastic autoloaders with no manual safety.

Have owned Glocks, but not now. I traded my last Glock (can't remember the model, but it was about the size of a Shield) for a cherry 99 Savage. I still have the Shield but don't carry it.

 

[Marshwheeling]

Don't own one, never owned one, and don't plan to buy one. Never say never, I guess, but they just don't interest me.

 

[misswired]

Why who wouldn't trust a Glock?

 

[Coyote56]

I have four. One is more homely than the other but they are all totally reliable. I want to look good? I'll carry my Hi-Power or Model 66. I want to shoot good? I'll bring out the Glock 30S.

 

[Luvmine]

Yes Sir. Currently I own three. A G19 and G23. Both are Gen4's. Last month I picked up a G45. All three are superb and almost indestructible.

I'd like to try one of their Sub-Compact models but my hands are just too big.

 

[rags]

Yes. Do I have to say how many?

 

[CLASSIC12]

Just three. But one has the fun switch

 

[shocker]

Glock 29SF myself. Classic12, you out there? We need to see your Glock 18.

EDIT: LOL the 18 showed up while I was typing.

***FBI Glock 100 Anniversary New Pics***

Just this one. My bride got it back in 2008 when the FBI celebrated it's 100th anniversary. They were only made available to agents through the FBIAA at the time. Glock 22.
Glocks aren't my thing as I prefer bright blue steel. But since she's used Glocks her entire career she's accumulated several over the years that now take up needed space in our safe. Plan to remedy that when she hangs it up for good.

We currently have three Glocks. Not the prettiest, but they are probably the most dependable, pistols available. I personally know of two Glocks that had serious problems. Both were the sub-compact Glock 27's, that the polymer guide rods broke. One had a lot of miles on it, and the other was new on the first box of ammo. I hear a lot on the net about breakage, but it cannot be confirmed. They are what I call my all weather guns. I have been in rain showers that have soaked the one I was carrying and all I did many hours later was break it down and clean it. I cannot say the same for any of the blued guns that I own. If it's blued it is immediately wiped down and oiled, not a real concern with the Glocks. My wife purchase her first G-19 in 1998, and my G-23 has of in excess or two thousand rds thru it, so we have a little data to work with. Maybe not a lot of love for them, but they do work.

That's the boat I'm in. I've owned a couple of Glocks but didn't care enough about them to keep them. They were good, reliable, etc., all the stuff people say about them. They just didn't really interest me enough to keep them.

I'm down to just one semi-pistol these days, and it's an SD9VE.

I honestly wasn't planning on getting a SIGMA either, although I was aware of them and did like them for their low price. I had originally planned on buying a Ruger SR40, but then I walked into my LGS to buy ammo and found a SW40VE for $199, liked the way it felt in my hands, so I put it on layaway.

I've never owned nor handled a Glock, used to think they were ugly, but have since come to appreciate them for what they are, and it seems as if the world as a whole has warmed up to them over the years as well. Nowadays it seems like the minority are those who still hate on them, hence why I don't think the in-jokes about buying one are relevant anymore.

 

[Kurusu]

No, but I doubt someone breaking into your house in the middle of the night would know the difference between a RM and a G19.

Of course they would know. As soon as they received more than 6 shots without reloading.

That's kinda cool that it has a FBI serial number. The one I pictured above has a KSP, (Kentucky State Police) number. Grabbed it as a police trade in from Bud's then had it modified as you see in the pic.

 

[CajunBass]

I think the jokes, I know I've used the "gone to dark side" one are just that. Jokes. Used to intro a plastic gun on a forum that caters to a large extent, blue steel and walnut. I don't think it's a serious condemnation of Glock.

 

[nate-dogg]

I've owned several in the past, but currently only have 1.

 

[Thuer]

If you are on duty and do have to carry a firearm all day long. Yes. I prefer a Glock. It is light. If you where a sportshooter and like to shoot at a paper target on 25 meter to hit the bullseye. Stay away of it. The triggerpull has a weight that it looks to move a frigurature with just one finger. No. I do not have a job to carry a Glock al day long. i do not own a Glock.

 

[mckenney99]

Currently have (4). One of the first 19's when they came out, a very early 27 that has been shot more than all of them put together as it was my duty back-up gun, a 21 that is just fun to shoot, although my FS M&P 45 may shoot slightly softer and the red headed step child 36, that has behavior issues. The 36, while a nice idea, was very poorly designed, with the stupid short grip and the magazine that has the remainder of the frame on the bottom of it, so it pinches the **** out of you with every round fired and with every reload.
