Glock Anyone?

THEY ARE THE UGLY AND THEY REMIND ME OF WHAT THE THUGS CARRY IN MY HOME TOWN  (DETROITE)   CANT STAND THEM IF YOU WANT SOMETHING THAT FEELS GOOD TRY MY WALTHER P-38 BANNER EDITION  THAT FEELS LIKE IT IS PART OF YOUR HAND AND IT WILL NEVER FAIL YOU.  ( WHOMPY)

While I certainly wouldn't argue your right to your opinion and I personally really like P-38's... seems to me the original users of the P-38 we're about as thuggish as thuggish gets.

Shot my second USPSA match today with the G34. Dropped in a Wolff competition spring kit and the 25 cent glock trigger job. Flawless from the factory. visible sights and a joy to shoot. Yes, black plastic and ugly. But I love it !

Neon Knight Anubis..    your post reminds me of a guy I met at a gunshow awhile back. He saw my Glock case and commented.. "Oh a Glock fan huh.".. So we stated talked and he began to tell me how he at first absolutely hated Glocks. He thought they were ugly plastic junk, as he called them. Then he told me how someone coaxed him into shooting one. And he shot very well right off. Well, the more he shot it, the more he liked it. Long story short, he gave up his 1911 and now only owns, shoots, and carries Glock and nothing else.  I was like well, "Congradulations man." He said that they are probably lots of 1911 owners out there that would truely like Glock if they ever shot them.

Ya know, the gun grabbers think EVERYONE who owns a gun is a thug. That don't mean we are. And GLOCKs are also what the police carry. So they could also be called cop guns. If I remember right, the Nazis could be pretty accurately described as Thugs, too for that matter. Thugs carry revolvers too. Had one try to buy one off of me at a gun show once. They carry what they can get their hands on. Not too long ago they were all into Berettas. Every gun ever available to civilians has been used by thugs. The SKS and AK47 have been the choice of more than their shares of thugs and gang bangers. But I ain't gonna let that stop me from owning a good gun that I like!

guess i have to way in on this one.   i was a died in the wool 1911 fan.  I actually started with the glock 9's then the 45's. Because all i ever heard was how finicky 1911's were.  Then i shoot one and sold the glocks and was content.  I went through other revolvers, makarov's, ruger's etc.  the only got i regret selling was the makarov fun little gun to shoot.

I digress,   anyway I ran across the 10mm round and started doing research and found that glock 20 was build for that round and has been around actively longer than most other manufacture models.

Figured i would give the glock another try.  I mean the 10mm round is the best all round versatile round out there and you have 15 rounds in the mag.

I have really had to work at the trigger and grip. the glock trigger is not a 1911 and will never be one but my discipline is getting better. 

the glock is super simple to field and  detail strip.

The various glock abuse threads that i have seen demonstrate its reliability under very adverse conditions.  conditions that i don't think many other weapons could endure.

in short the glock is becoming my weapon of choice even over my 1911 and that surprises even me.   What can i say i have gone over to the dark side and it looks mighty good.

I love my Glocks. I purchased my model 20 in 1996 and liked it so well I sold my 1911. When I met my wife and she wanted to buy her first gun we got her a model 22. Her small hands did have some trouble with the trigger reach on her model 22. She had to rotate her shooting hand to get to the trigger. This caused her thumb joint to get sore on long days at the range. We got her a S&W M&P 40 and it fits much better with the interchangable back straps. But now I have her model 22 and I love it. I have never had a failure to feed with either Glock (can't say that for my 1911). Glocks are ugly but great guns maybe not for everybody but reliable as heck.Glocks rock.
