Looking for input on a new Glock

johNTO said:
What are you using the New Glock for? If it's for the same reasons that the majority of us use our HGs for then get the 34 (if you really want another Glock). I've owned my 17 for years and its been great but I like variety.

I would have voted 19 but I'm not a fan of the look of extended Canadian barrel and the taller "suppressor" sights......

Sights can be replaced and in my opinion should be. As for the longer barrel, it's not a beauty contest and you won't see it when you're behind the gun.

I would also avoid the 19 only because this is Canada and I don't like these Pinocchio barrels that makes the 19 legal here.

As above, but you could also have the barrel shortened to the legal minimum, reducing a little over a quarter inch.
 
Perhaps you should take a break from worshipping at the holy temple of Glock and explore the world of modern firearms.

There is a whole new religion of modular firearms out there now surpassing this obsolescent 38 year old design. ;)
 
Since i bought my G19 gen4 LW barrel 106mm, i sold my G17/G17L/G21/G20/ P99 and more, this G19 did replace them all and cover all my need for a plastic gun... JP.:cool:

I've shot the 320 extensively enough to know it's a nice gun that I have little to no interest in owning.

I find it funny that you regularly call Glocks outdated but seem to have a penchant for wheel guns and 1911's.

At least LD is consistent!
I had the same feeling about the P320. I really want to like it. Shot one and it was just ok. The trigger is better than the Glock and you can dry fire it without racking which is a bonus but I think I'll stick to my Glock. I think the Compact version with a RMR would be ###ier. The standard version looks nose heavy to me ( even though it isn't).

Do tell what design out there is superior to the Glock and in what way?? All of the polymer guns out there are copies of the Glock design to begin with. The whole modular firearm thing is retarded. The cost to change calibres or physical size(new frame and new slide and new barrel) is almost the same cost as a new gun. If a compact version of a gun does everything you need it to do then there's no need to own the full size and a smart person(in a free country) would stick with the compact and focus on more important things like personal performance. The modular gun idea caters to the consumer market where people can't settle on anything and insisit on tinkering/buying something new rather than improve their skill set.

Hey, the 1911 is the bestestestest pistol ever...And don't get me started on the superb reliability and ease of use offered in a wheel gun. :rolleyes:

I like 1911's and wheels too. I just don't understand how someone can so frequently criticize a 30 year old design for being out of date and in the next breath recommend a 100 year old design as a better alternative.

I'm guessing that means that major and minor are classed together?

Apologies for replying late. But yes if your gun puts you on standard division you are scored along other standard division shooters. Your power factor then determines how you are scored based on your hits. The g34 is 9mm and is therefore considered minor. The pistol has to make at least 175 power factor (i think) in order for your run to be scored as major. So for example let's take a g34 shooter versus a g35 shooter. Both shooting factory ammo. Both shooters will be in standard division due to the rules about barrel length and trigger pull weight. Therefore they are competing against each other. The g34 will be scored 5 for alphas, 3 for charlies, 1 for delta hits on target. The g35 will be scored 5 for alphas, 4 for charlies, 2 for deltas. This is due to the g35 being a 40sw and will make the 175 power factor requirement. So both shooters are running the exact course but as soon as the g34 misses the alpha zone he will be penalized more heavily than the g35 shooter. Hope that explains it. Also keep in mind that I'm talking about ipsc only. Idpa has a completely different scoring methodology where the g34 has the advantage over the g35.

That's because some individuals are slow to learn or simply have no knowledge to draw their conclusions from. Both 1911's and revolvers are grossly outdated.

I believe your explanation is good. I don't really understand why they'd score them differently when they lump them into the same class. To me (as someone who's never competed in a shooting sport) it would make more sense to score everything the same and just divide the standard division into major and minor classes rather than scoring them differently. That being said, if I like the g34 I'll likely get a g41 anyways so it'll largely be a non-issue. It's just confusing to me as someone with a background in combat sports.
 
The answer is yes.


I know, not super helpful, but when the question is "should I buy this glock, this glock, or this glock?", the answer is always yes.

On a more relevant note, I would love to try a 41, but the 19 is just the quintessential Glock, so that's what I would say.

Ha, I figured someone would say that. Can we just average our answer and say the 18 is the quintessential, most desirable Glock? Lol

Actually It would be.But I doubt there is one in Canada. Only sold to special forces or agencies, even in US. But I really think, select fire would be fun...
