Woooooooo is me.......my son has strayed!!!!

I used to not care for them, but can now appreciate Glocks for what they are. Glock's are affordable, reliable, dependable, relatively inexpensive, plentiful, and easy enough to replace.

Even though I don't own one and most likely never will; that's about how I feel about them. I primarily carry a wheel gun or a 1911. That said my nightstand gun is a XDm-45. The only reason I do not prefer Glocks is the odd feel they have, the XDm points more naturally for me (probably the 1911s influence in the grip angle).

Ain't never seen a Glock/glob at a Bullseye match. How 'bout them "Glock only matches", now that's Gun Racism when you won't let anybody shoot a better gun.

Nope a Glock is not a bullseye gun. When I decided to shoot my qualification for entry into the states firearms instructor school I used a Model 19 because of the precision required at 50 yards. As a matter of fact I have that Model 19 on my hip right now as I sit here in the hospital waiting room while I wait for my wife to get out of surgery (foot surgery). I also have a G26 on my ankle. I will carry the Model 19 on duty exclusively until I am through with the revolver portion of the school. I do my dry fire and reload drills in the evenings with the model 19 right now so that is what I carry right now. I like to put more emphasis on the training.

I've been in discussions like this before but I think it had something to do with Fords and Chevys though.

I will NEVER trust my life to a striker fired weapon. I have seen ammo a Glock would not set off. I currently own two autos a Combat Commander 45, and a Sig 229 (no rail) in 40/357 Sig. The Sig is my go to combat gun, but usually have a wheel gun when working on the farm.

I have purchased eight Glocks in the last two years, one new, seven used. I used to not care for them, but can now appreciate Glocks for what they are. Glock's are affordable, reliable, dependable, relatively inexpensive, plentiful, and easy enough to replace. What more can one ask for?

A real gun?

Your son has started his journey, and remember, the joy is in the quest. He will encounter many quality firearms and hopefully can acquire as many as he desires.

I really enjoyed the post by Bob R. I think he stated it well.

I have post about Glocks in the past. I carried a 21C for several years and my primary off duty sidearm is a Glock 32, compact 357 Sig. As stated they have been reliable for me, BUT - - a Glock does not have a soul. My M&P does.

That is why I started buying guns for my sons now, who are currently ages 1 & 4. Hopefully they will not be lead astray in the plastic way.

I accumulate, fondle, display, and love my S&W's. But I carry a Glock or SIG 95% of the time and a Ruger SR9 the remainder. My Glocks get abused on a daily basis just through my normal routine. I just don't care, and they actually look better with a few dings. If I put a Python or PC revolver through that I'd be really upset.

Similarly, I drive a Mustang GT when it is pretty (think BBQ gun). But my F-250 diesel is the workhorse and everyday driver (Glock)!

I know the feeling very well. I promised my son when he passed his EMT test earlier I would buy him a pistol. He chose a Glock. I have not had to chance to shoot it yet. I guess thats why I bought a S&W. But to each his own and at least he is shooting.
