Glocks

[Marshal Tom]

I posted earlier about having a Gen 4 tricked up 19 and a Gen 5 45. That model 45 shoots just wonderfully and I have not even changed out the horrible Glock sights yet. Don't know why but that full length grip feels really good and seems to improve control over the shorter 19 grip.

Of the ones I own it would have to be the g43x. It fits my medium hands perfectly.

If I could only have one, it would be a 19. The Gen really wouldn't matter to me.

For me it's the Glock 48 for one simple reason: It fits my hand while no other Glock does. I carried a Glock 22/23 as a issued duty weapon for my career and always struggled with the grip size. I would prefer it to be .40 S&W but that will probably never happen. For those whose hands accommodate them another Glock with higher capacity will probably be a better choice but I really like my Glock 48.

best balanced Glock in he hand I've shot, and with the 15 round mag now available, a fine defensive handgun.

The 19. Most versatile.

My 29 year old Gen 2, G19.

 

[Ziggy2525]

G19 is an easy answer, but I’d be good with any of the double stack Glocks except .45 GAP (can you even buy that cartridge any more).

The 42 and 43 seem ammo sensitive, so if I could only have one, it wouldn’t be those. Maybe they fixed that on the 43x and the 48.

Daughter forced me to GAG (Get A Glock)

Yep...my youngest daughter is a NC LEO and her issue gun is a Glock 21, Gen 4 (.45 ACP). So she is tossing bucoo rounds downrange while I was still fumbling around with loaded full moonclips and my Model 25-2. Got tired of that, found a decent Gen 4 Glock 21 at a steep discount with box, mags so dived right in.

Got to admit...it is a good shooter, easy to maintain, not really out any heartache and $ if stolen, confiscated or whatever....it is just not any real attachment for me. Glocks are what they are..work guns made and intended for a purpose, but I don't think they will ever be any form of classic, or art, although being plastic, they should be fairly easy to "engrave" with a hot yawl or ice pick.

Since both daughter and myself are "holster qualified" the Glock goes to the range in a Safariland paddle, retention level II, holster, (pictured on the nightstand in background in one of my collection pics). When daughter is not home for visits, the Glock spends days in the Safariland holster wedged between the front seat and console of a Chevy Silverado, nights in a nightstand next to my side of the bed. My regular EDC is a Model 637.

I'm OK with the one Glock but don't see anymore in my future, Dang sure don't want any in the safe along with my Smiths.

Either a Glock 23 or a Glock 19. I do like the special edition 19.

I actually really like it too, save for the fact that it's chambered in 9mm despite having a gigantic 45 on the slide and is for an AMERICAN President, but they did pretty much the exact same thing with their other Amer-themed Limited Edition Glocks as well, they're only available in 9mm Luger, a German Cartridge, but none in .40 S&W, .45 ACP, or 10mm Auto.

I only have one in my stable currently. A Gen. 4 Model 17.
I’ve owned a 27 and a Gen 2 17 plus a .45 that I can’t remember the Model. I hated it the day I bought it. Had the ergonomics of an Idaho potato.

I bought a G17 back in 1986, SN AY442, when I was in OK for flight school. Adam's or Adamson's guns in Lawton, paid $286 out the door. The professional critics said they were terrible and would never catch on.

I never could shoot the gun well and sold it in 2004 to buy a P239 and have never regretted it.

I own a G20SF (short frame) in 10mm and it's not for sale. Right now it's the only reasonable hiking pistol in 10mm. Sig hasn't pulled their head out and offered a P320 in 10mm, and S&W hasn't either with the M&P line.

I have a friend who shoots competition with a glock. I have nothing against them from a mechanical POV, I just have too many other handguns with the 'other' grip angle. So when I raise the pistol to eye level, the glocks are pointing high and need large adjustments to get the sights on target. Every other pistol (Sigs and 1911s) come up with the sights on target and only need tiny adjustments to line up.

I have owned several Glock pistols and currently only have a Gen 5 G26 that i carry with the factory 10 round magazine backed up by a 15 round spare magazine. Although a Glock model model 40 mos seems like a fun pistol to buy.

If you could only have one model, which would you pick?

That’s a tuffy. I think all around, G27 Gen3. It’s thick but very easily concealed in the right holster. Surprisingly controllable with the factory double recoil spring. I have 9mm conversion bbl and mags for mine that haven’t bobbled once so far, and it will take any full size mag you decide to carry. I put mag extensions and grip tape on mine when I first got it because I was concerned about recoil, but found I didn’t need that stuff and took it off.

Glock 19 ... latest generation. Sincerely. bruce

 

[Chief Wiggums]

G19
Most common 9mm handgun
In the event of SHTF , replacement parts will be NP
It works...every single time....it just works

 

[BearBio]

My G27 converted to 357 Sig=two barrels five me the option of 357 Sig or 40 S & W.

I would follow with a G22 with the same conversion. More distant third would be a G20 in 10mm (I live in bear and moose country).

 

[Boxer9]

The G26. If I had a second choice it would be a G45

 

[JayFramer]

Sorry, but ain’t no way no how any plastic fantastic Tupperware going to replace my trusty six shooter .38!

What would Hickok say? What would Earp say??

Honestly, if they could, they’d probably say G19.

 

[sheppard]

I have one Glock, a model 17 fourth gen.
