Took a trip to the darkside...Glock

[zeke]

Bought 2 Glocks last year. Figured by gen 4 they were no longer the unproven plastic fantastic. First the g19, then a g42. The trigger technique need adapting to keep sights on when that striker lets go. Replaceing the g19 barrel with ex storm lake model made immediate improvement.

Outside their reliability, the favorite feature for me are the old man sights. With the big white contrast, you can line them up even if your vision is fuzzy.

If I ever have the extra cash, I would not mind a Glock 17. May they serve you well and never be needed!

I have a Glock 19 Gen 4 as my concealed carry gun. I purchased it because of it's reputation for reliability. The more I shot it the more I liked it. I guess it sort of grew on me. I recently purchased a G34 to use as a range & steel plate gun . It's longer sight radius helps with accuracy and because it's used on the range only I am able to modify the sights to suit me & trigger for a lighter ,crisper pull . I find I can shoot it quite well .
While they don't have the elegance or beauty of my older Ruger & S&W revolvers there is something in their no nonsense simplicity I find attractive . For me it's not an either or choice ... I can and do enjoy both at different times and for different reasons.

Nothing wrong with a Glock. Run 200 rounds of your chosen defense round through them and if successful they will go bang when you need them. I have an HK USP 45 Compact that will make one ragged hole at 25 yrds with Speer Gold Dot shooting single action. Most ridiculously accurate handgun I own. For aesthetic contemplation I will take out one of my pre-lock snubbys, often when watching a game shooting at the bad team.

they are practical and useful tools...I have several although I was anti-Glock for many years until I shot some and saw the light. There is no attachment to them like the Smiths and Rugers and Colts, but my appreciation for them has grown over the last several years...I even have a 37 & 39 mixed in with 4 other more popular models. They all act well on the range and I don't worry about losing them even though I am mindful of their security and whereabouts at all times....I just wouldn't hurt so much if I lost one compared to the grief I would have if I lost or had a prized revolver or more expensive pistol stolen....pow-pow

I love my revolvers, but when the zombies come out, it's my glock 17 I'm going to reach for.

I don't love Glocks, but I value their utility. Here is my stable - a 21 and a 30; these keep the .45 ACP sector secure. The 30 is actually very accurate and surprisingly compact for having a 10-round magazine. The Gen. 2 Model 19 is my "insurance" gun - 15 rounds of HP 9mm in the mag (up to 30 if I want to use the hi-capacity mag) - goes bang every time and is fast to reload. Probably more of a SHTF gun, and one that I would not mind parting with - ugly as sin, but it works and fills a void.

I have several Glocks and the 19 is my overall favorite pistol (I have several of them) and my regular CCW. In a Foxx IWB with Remington Golden Sabers. I have about 20k rounds thru all of my Glocks put together- fantastic pistols.
