Saw this posted a long time ago. Never bashed them for reliability or function in the worst conditions....They work as designed. Grip angle is great for some, awful for others. I've shot many but don't own one. But have no reservations of getting a used one probably a Mod22. One day when the money and timing is right.

Just trying to fight the "heat" and Kool-Aid. ;)

But their still ugly...

No replies because he doesnt leave much to question, or argue.  What fun is that?!?  ;D

Love my G30!  Trust it 100%.  Maybe 101% after seeing that article!  Thanks for the post!

Say what you want, but the Glock is the weapon that all are compared against, for good reason. They work, and will work in all conditions, the AK of the pistol world, but guess what, accurate, not bullseye accurate, but more accurate than they should be, the .45 acp is the most accurate of the bunch in all configurations.  It needs to be part of your " go to, arsenal " I own many pistols that I have no reservation about, but my model 21 is proven , 20 times over "  It harvests the smallest game, and has taken 2 white tail deer.  SD no problem, I'm not looking to put a human head on my wall, but if it can hit jack rabbits at night at 25 yrds, well it can do SD just fine.

You XD fans, and S&W M&P fans, I have no argument with, I just have not shot them, 1911 users, I have much experience, and own plenty, but for the overall package, pick the Glock.  PROVEN.  The 1911 you can say is proven, but only with ball ammo, and if that is what you carry, FINE, I have little doubt it will work. The Glock gobbles it all. 90% of my Glock reloads are 185grn, semi wadcutters, never hiccups.

As I mentioned the first auto pistol that I ever bought was a Glock 17. I bought it after reading a Popular Science article about a Miami PD torture test. I figured any gun that survived what they did to that Glock would be worthy of becoming my first non wheel gun. I still love my revolvers but I have never regretted buying that Glock. It has never failed and I can't begin to guess how many rounds that we have run through it. Besides it's my wife's favorite firearm and she would cut or shoot my cajones off if I ever sold or traded it. :P

I have owned many Glocks. I have owned Sigs, Smith and Wessons, Beretta, Taurus. Hi Point, EAA's and TEC-9's. Carried Colts, Bushmasters and DPMS. Owned Benellis's, Rugers, Glenfields. Fired Colt 1911's, SKS's and AK-47's. M-60 Machineguns, XM-138's, M240's, M-79 and M-203's. Remington and Winchester shotguns. One firearm that has proven tried and true is the Glock. I am on my sixth Glock and trying to purchase 7 and 8 in a Glock 35 and a Glock 30 in .40 S&W and .45 ACP. This is how much I put my trust in Glock.  ;)

Well this proves that this guy can really beat to death a pistol!

I will say the Glock is a dependable pistol.
It has the least amount of parts of any pistol I know of.
It is a simple design that works.

My dislike is 2 parts, I don't like the grip angle and how the G17 destroyed the GB.

Seen it. DO they even do torture tests anymore or is it a mute point now?
