Well said.. Glocks are not great for new shooters

Completely true... my first pistol was a Glock and nothing else measures up. (Revolvers notwithstanding).

As for Graydogs comment: What frustrations? I haven't had a single issue with my Glock. I see countless others pistols at the range having problems, but Glocks seem to run and run no matter what.
 
The Glock is so boringly reliable, looking forward to my first malfunction out of 1000 + rounds on my 17/22/21/.... JP.

I can relate to this!. What Graydog meant was his frustration with his "other" pistols once he owned a Glock.

I wouldn't hold your breath there, JP. I have 2500 flawless rounds through my 17. I don't even consider it "broken in."

Light weight, reliability/dependability, 17 shot in M17(South of the Border), compact in M19, 26.

Except if John Browning had made the Glock, it would have looked like it had some style

You ever seen any of John Browning "tool room" examples of some of his most famous pistol designs?

You gotta long way to go.

I had a 2nd gen G22 that I had about 35,000 rounds thru between 1995-2010. Not one fail to feed, fire, extract or eject.

Glocks work!

There's a member here with a sig line something like this....


"if I am beside someone in traffic with a glock, I move over one lane so I don't catch his ###"


#### i laugh every time I read that.

Really? That doesn't seem right at all... I would think it's the other way around.

With Glocks, it's by virtue of their popularity in law enforcement and civillian use combined with having the safety on the trigger... Which to me, makes absolutely no sense. On the other hand, there's been 92's tested into the hundreds of thousands of rounds with out a single failure. There's a reason why the US military uses them. Two years ago they even signed another contract to deliver another 100,000 M9's by 2017. It is an older platform that is starting to show it's age though. I would imagine there will be a new competition after '17 to get a more up to date pistol in their soldiers hands.

I doubt that the government cares enough about individual soldiers to replace the M9. After all, a pistol is a personal defense weapon at its heart. It doesn't further the overall goal in armed conflict.
