 Hey fish your bell is ringing.

Point taken. I Will be nice. I will Be NICE!!!  I am a Glock Armorer. I have owned Glocks since the early 1980s and I believe in them. I retired from cop work in 1995 after 25 years and now work as a civilian for the State Dept. of Safety and still carry Glocks.  Glocks break. I have never gotten a service interval or schedule of replacement from tham and I know what tends toward breakage and keep those parts at hand. NOTHING is perfect. At least nothing mechanical...but Glocks are pretty far down that road. I admit to only 3, now, posts on this forum but have tens of thousands on forums and have really looked forward to this board.
If you are gonna jump my bones about Glocks on here tell me that you have been carrying them or fiddling with them for a while and I'll happily listen. Please don't tell me you'd like to own them if only you could afford them and then tell me what a POS they are.

Who are you talking to? Since I am seriously interested in buying a Glock when another pistol is in my budget, I mentioned it so I have to believe your comments are directed at me. And I never said Glock was a POS. If you're saying that I did, you're a liar. That's NOT playing nice, but no one said you were here to make friends. I didn't see any posts where someone "jumped your bones about Glocks" either. None that I know of anyway. It depends on your definition and I'm not sure what you mean. I didn't see anything that would fit the definition I recognize of jumping someone's bones. It's not THAT kind or forum. If you've been a Glock armorer for years you should be able to answer questions and help those of us who aren't as knowledgeable, instead of putting words in other peoples mouths and starting arguments. Since I'm on a limited income and I can't blow my whole pension check I want to be very careful with my purchase decisions. I like to research the guns I'm considering and this forum WAS a great place for me to do that. Is there anything besides Glock I shouldn't ask you about?

I heard from a Glock rep that "The American Consumer" asked for finger grooves!  My buddy and I told him we prefered no finger grooves and didn't know anyone who liked them and he just shrugged.

So much for customer input.

FWIW

PS:  Can't get a real good look at the picture, but it seems the grooves are still there.

Heh. Para guys said 'customer input' was why they started grooving the LDAs triggers.

I think those customers were really Dremel employees.

A popular gun writer once said a "carry gun should be comforting not nesecerily comfortable". Or words to that effect. I have owned through the years many 1911's (love em) Sigs (ditto), and assorted wheelguns.  A Smith & Wesson 629 Mountain Revolver and my bobbed hammer Smith & Wedgie 637 all I have or do carry. My main carry gun is a Glock 23 that I purchased new in 1990 (I think). It has been the most reliable pistol I have owned (next to an old Remington Rand 1911A1). I only replaced the little coil spring in the rear of the frame (can you tell I'm not a rocket scientist) and am on my second set of trijicons  There are no fancy finger grooves or a rail to hang my laundry from. The finish is slightly worn, more from carry then the 5,000 rnds I have in it. I don't exactly like the feel of plastic or the grip angle or the blocky slide but she has only had 4 failures in that 5,000 rnds. 2 from the spring breaking and 2 from my brother due to limp wristing (yes he is gay) I've given thought to trading up, but used combat tupperware is not worth a whole lot.  I guess I don't need to pay a bunch on top of the trade for the finger grooves or laundry rail. This old girl will just carry on nicely. Besides, I might not be so fortunate with the next one.

Is he gay because he limp wrists or does he limp wrist because he is gay?!

Is he gay because he limp wrsits or does he limp wrist because he is gay?! 

Ohhhhhhhh Man ... The possibilities here, but I will do my best to behave 

[dalea]

C'mon. I threw you guys a bone here. Don't hold back. This forum is the best reading ever. I love it. I guess I shouldn't use bone in the context of this subject.

[MikeBjerum]

dalea ... are you by chance my wife?  Bait me and bait me and bait me, and then kick my ass when I bite 

[dalea]

No baiting here. And no sex either. I drive this truck to get away from sex. Its terrible being married to a nymho. I call her up on occasion to see if she reached menopause yet. She answers "you couldn't be so lucky, now git your ass home". It sucks it really does
