Do you own a Glock?

[29aholic]

Carried a Sig P229 for years, and before that a 1911 of some variant. When I bought my Camaro the Sig was a bit big for the console. My GF had a Ruger P90 that was too big for her so I traded for two compact Glocks a 9mm for her and a 40cal for me.
I could not shoot mine well to save my life and she has problems with her wrists and could not shoot hers without it jamming.
I traded hers for a S&W 642 and just sold mine outright and went back to my Sig. I ended up sticking a bobbed Model 60 in the console.

I have several Glock models, all 9mm.
My 1st was a brand new G19 Gen2. Still runs like a champ.
I also have a Gen4 G19 & G26 and a new G48 (G19 Slim )

My Wife also has a Gen4 G26 as her CC pistol.

I'm one of the few folks whose hands fit well with the finger grooves. While I dislike Glocks for the most part (preferring 1911's and revolvers), I have to say I've owned probably ten different models from .380-.45 and most of them have been utterly reliable. My early G42 choked occasionally and spit brass in my face. My G41 would choke occasionally. However every other model I've had has been on point. I currently own a G19 only and it's honestly a jack of all trades pistol. I bought it for $350, it's a gen 3, the finish has held up very well as I'm not real careful with it but it just serves as my travel/truck companion really well and I carry it. I just can't beat the reliability, durability, weight, capacity and price for the purpose it serves. It's ugly yeah but no one sees it but me and I've got prettier guns to look at while it's strapped to my belt. I do like the Sig X Compact better, ergonomics are perfect on that pistol but I can't find it for the cheap price I did my gen 3 that came with love and I don't feel bad about abuse and use.

I own an early Glock 36 45acp. Not pretty, but reliable and shoots whatever I put in it. Can't say that for my bright stainless Colt Officer's model, even after it went through the colt custom shop

I own at least one Glock, and have for decades.


I also own a boat, and I'm a terrible boatsman.

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

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.

LoL no need to get snippy. Just research the patent infringement cases Glock has had over the years. Regarding your idea that all steel framed, hammer-fired, semiautomatic pistols on the market today are just clones of the 1911...I never really thought that much about it. I wouldn't say they're so much copies of the 1911...but likely they are improvements on it. That's the difference. IMO no one has really improved upon the Glock design...they've only capitalized on it's superior performance and global popularity. This happens elsewhere...copying technology. I mean the Russians swear their Tu-160 isn't a copy of the B1...and the ChiComs say their J-20 isn't a copy of the F22 but a completely new and original design of their own.

Never owned one, but did shoot one. Didn't care for it and I don't like the way they look. Too boxy and clunky looking for me.
I like the traditional handguns.

Friends don't let friends buy glocks.

My issue with them is the way they try to bully police agencies into carrying their product. It was my experience, when overseeing purchasing for my agency, that if an agency did not buy their product they filed some type of complaint/grievance/appeal and held up purchases.

Price is not everything.

Do you own a Glock?

Yes.

 

[misswired]

This one is fun without the fun switch

 

[Ziggy2525]

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.

The improved model Glocks are perfecter.

 

[Ziggy2525]

...
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.
...

Seems like a pretty good analogy. Also, you can detail strip a Glock with a nail and a rock if necessary.

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

And it's here our paths divert.
If ever offered one I would cherish it and shoot it honnoring whomever offered it to me.

I never sold one gun in more than 40 years of gun owning. Not going to start now.

I bought a Glock 17 in the late 1980s when I was just getting back into guns. The darn thing threw empty, hot brass into my face and down my shirt. My wife also didn't like hot brass down her shirt. I traded it off and learned the problem was common with early models.

Many years later I acquired a Glock 34 and a 35. The 35 was so inaccurate I bought a new Jarvis barrel for it. I use these guns mainly to do test firing. I won't cry if I blow up a Glock.....it might improve their looks.

 

[CAJUNLAWYER]

Is an MP9 considered a Glock Clone. If not,I'm gonna have to change my answer to the poll.

 

[misswired]

This one wears a red lasermax guide rod. You will think this pistol has soul when you're laser painted red.

 

[BlackTalonJHP]

No Glock, but I'm interested in Palmetto State's new clone for $300 MSRP

 

[JohnRippert]

The improved model Glocks are perfecter.

And the next ones will be more perfecter.

 

[Kanewpadle]

I carry either a G43 or Gen 4 19.

Are they pretty? Compared to what? A beautiful Blued S&W revolver or a High Point?

They are an engineering marvel. They simply work.

I trust my life to one everyday.
