Glock Anyone?

[FlyAndFight]

I own a G19 and G26.   My next Glock purchase will be the G34.   I can't get enough of 'em.   

Glocks may be considered "no frills" shooters but that's fine with me.   Consistency is a good thing.

I think everyone should own a G19.

I love my G22!  There are many nice guns out there but this one is mine!

THEY ARE THE UGLY AND THEY REMIND ME OF WHAT THE THUGS CARRY

No need to yell. (all caps)
Yeah, they're ugly. They also stand up to conditions that I would NEVER subject my pretty 1911's or my very nice looking revolvers to.
My G27 has suffered years of torment under my beer gut in Arizona summers. The only thing that has needed a touch up to the finish is the side of the aftermarket rear tritium sight.

The first time I saw a Browning BDA 'way back when' I thought it was hideous. Several Sigs later, I have obviously embraced the "form follows function" philosophy. Ugly is as ugly does. The G27 ALWAYS works and it's small so it gets the most carry time. My 1911's always work too, (or I wouldn't own them), but they're large and heavy so they don't get carried as much esp. CCW.

Many of the thugs of the '30s carried JMB's masterpiece. Like everyone else, gangsters carry what is popular. You can't fault the tool for that!

Love, love, love, love my Glocks! There is a very short list of guns that I would trust my life to and Glock is at or near the top. They are by far the ideal gun for personal defense. They are light weight, reliable, and affordable. A gun is a tool and it all really comes down to what the intended job is for your gun. They would not be my first choice for trying to win a shooting match (Although, I can out shoot all of my buddies at the range with my Glocks) , but my G26 with 10+1 9mm+P is all the gun I would ever need for a CCW (and with a 33 round mag it is also great for home defense).

Bought the M+P .40, because it FELT better to me. My partner has a Glock 27, shot it many times and will add a Glock to my quiver soon. It is a top notch reliable handgun without question.

My partner shoots my M+P and vice-versa he is waiting for the funds to get the compact model S&W.

It's like a brand new Vette, or a Mustang, both kick A**, but its a personal thing.

It's a Gun... Not clothing, a car, jewelry, art, or a spouse. The looks should not be the deciding factor, and if it is the gun isn't for shooting. Their is a difference between a collector's/ safe queen and a gun for practical use.

My deciding factors in choosing a gun, in order
1. Does it go bang?
2. Ok, does it still go bang?
3. Can I shoot it well?
4. Does the size fit my application?
5. Does it still go bang?

I started off with a strong dislike of Glocks but then again I had a more PC view of how a pistol should be in the past (mandatory safety or TDA similar to my dad), but as I learned more about firearms in general and began shooting pistols I came to some realizations that before I wouldn't have considered years prior. Glocks are what they are: an all business, extremely reliable, KISS simple weapon for self defense and I love 'em for that. The grip angle isn't a problem for me, I shoot just as bad either way .
