Guns That Have Changed Our Thinking & Why??

[ericire12]

Glock is the modern utilitarian mindset coming to the gun world.
Browning's, Colt's, Luger's and S&W's, were artworks in wood and steel, they have "soul", when you handle one you know that some one measured every part, and put hand work into every part to make it within tolerance.
With a Glock they just turn on the plastic squirter and go back the read the  paper.
Yes Glocks are ALMOST fool proof, yes they can stand up to abuse and still work well, but they re just "Things" they have no "soul".

Glocks do indeed have no soul. They are a piece of equipment that is 100% task oriented..... I dont really care if my Glocks get lost, stolen, FUBARed, etc, etc.... I'll just go buy another one -- Hopefully with insurance money paying the tab. There have been many a time that I was "glad I had a gun".... but even more so, glad that I had the piece of mind of having that gun be a Glock.

Give yourself the second "comment of the day" award. You have hit the nail the head. A Glock is good enough for whats its for, EVERY time. You can't ask for more. If I won the Power Ball today, I'd still carry a Glock.

I will make another point on beauty, being from the Commi-weath of MA we can not  own New Glocks, they have to be manufactured pre'98. So take away the fact that you are given the choice of what is in state as a citizen and the very sight of a used pre9'8 Glock gets you all warm and gittie inside. That also may classify as beauty.

Or desperation. The fact that you lust after newer Glocks reminds me that some where out in Ca, there is a "Mr. Pelosi"

Tex, any Glocks you buy from an FFL are refurbished by Glock USA and are basically new guns.  They even replace the barrels from what I've been told.  Some of the guns at my FFL are LEA trade-ins and havn't even been shot.  They go pretty quick.

If you're interested in a gen 1 G19 with fading, but still ok tritium sights, and two Clinton 10 rounders (probably Mass. approved) PM me.

Poor Mr. Pelosi. If that was my wife I could not get my boot laces off fast enough to hang myself.

I was glad to have my glock when I got lost on the east side of columbus at 2 in the morning.

I say the same thing (minus 1 glock add 1 M&P) when I worked in Steubenville/Wheeling every morning from 4am till usually about 2pm.
Security blanket?! SURE!

[bulldog75]

Been thinking of getting a M&P just have not got around to doing it.
