Glock Anyone?

I too have only shot a rental a few times. Are you  THAT impressed with them, Don? I might have to re-think my wish list.

I've been a "locked and cocked" guy since the early 70's. I've carried CCW with two different guns that way. I now pocket carry a snubbie. I now prefer no safety other than my finger off the trigger. For more fire power I would carry a G26.

I'm With you, HAWKFISH! I love my GLOCK model 30. I don't carry it everyday, but I carry it a lot (at least once a week.). It's also my Nightstand gun. The only thing I don't like about them is the Crimson Trace Lasergrips for them. Don't get me wrong. I'm a huge Lasergrip fan, too, but the GLOCK models change the grip too much for my liking. So I have a Lasermax in mine. And a TLR-1 light on the rail at night.

Hi every body,I own a G-23 and I putabout 1000 rounds threw it and after the first 100 rounds I wentahead and got a bar-sto barrel and it shoots great still tring to control my triger pull.when i relized it my groups were 2.5" at fifteen yards.but I love my Glock,and I think that everone is different just like the guns are all different there are no bad ones because even the best have lemons.what ever works for you to be able to hit that target as fast and acurate as you can.Thats were it counts.

The 1911 IS a dated  firearm. The  1911  upgraded with good  sights (there are so  many good ones  just  take your pick),a throated bbl  so  that it will feed all types  of ammo,a b-tail  grip safety so it  will  not  bite  the  hand &  an ambi thumb safety (if  needed  by  leftys or  for  comp)  is  still at the  very  top of  the  handgun  heap.Look  at  how  many  1911  manufacturers saw  the light  &  offer  their guns just  that way.I am  not  bashing  Glocks  but IMO they do need to  be upgraded if  they  plan to keep  being  at the top of  the heap.

What kind of upgrades do you have in mind for the Glock?

[GlockMeister]

YES,I GOT GLOCK. I only own one, plan to someday get another. I currently own the tactical/practical model, the Glock Model 35, .40 S&W, stock non-ported barrel. Shot great right outta da' box and still shoots great. I have since installed a set of Meprolight Tritium night (moreover low-light) sights ( orange on the rear/green on the front). Also purchased/installed a Streamlight M6 light/laser combo, only drawback with this is no holster for it yet. Fobus makes a tactical holster for Glocks that have light/laser unit attached to the rail but the closest one, model #4281 is only for Glock models 17,22,and 31. In comparing the barrel and overall length of those three to mine, mine is longer in both areas by only .83". G35 barrel 5.32",overall 8.15" and the Glock models 17,22 and 31 barrel length is 4.49" and overall length is 7.32, difference of .83". Dog gone it, missed being able to use it by only that much... lol

I could and would honestly recommend a Glock to anyone who asked my opinion. In the end it just comes down to ones' own preference/s...
    P.S.  Loved those two (2) full auto Glocks seen on Shooting Gallery at the Knob Creek Hill machine gun shoot episode...Talk about rounds per minute. Was awesome to watch.

Ok, I did say nuff said... But to clear things up.....
YES I do own a glock ( G26)
Yes I do carry it sometimes.
I Hate the polygonal rifing because your not suppose to shoot lead in it.
NOTE! wake up glock.... Kahr makes the PM9 with polygonal, but there CW9 has conventional rifing.
Glock sez, don't us lead.... They should offer it with a conventional rifing.
Clipdraw make a nice add so you don't need a holster, BUT warns that you should not carry it with one in the tube. why... No external safety.

Climbs down off the soap box.........

I love my G22.  It's light, accurate and fun.  The problem is that .40 S&W ammo is more expensive to shoot than nines so I don't shoot it much.  In a .40 cal the only thing more accurate is my CZ 40B...dead on!

The  2 main areas in  need of  ugrades are : (1) ERGOS -IN  the  age of  equal  hiring  the  size  of  cops,soldiers,swabbies,etc is NOT one size fits all.That  Glocks  do not  fit just me is a fallacy b/c  Robar &  David  Bowie  do  way  too much  work for  it  to be only my problem. (2) BBL-While  reloading is  not  everybody s cup of tea the  rising  cost of ammo  IS.Lead bullets can  be  much  cheaper & are a good  low cost practice  alternative.The  KB problem  as noted  in  the 40 & 45 cals could be cured  in the same fix.Let  me  repeat the Glock is  a reliable ,proven,durable  lightweight platform.Make  it  with  i-c backstraps that  include a beavertail,put  a  lead loving fully  supported  bbl &  I would  be  the  new  poster  boy  for  Glock.AS it now stands IMO Glocks are  not  the best SFA firearm & they  will lose market share  to  the  new  kids esp  the S&W MP.
