I've always loved my Glocks, and wanted a nice over the top "plastic fantastic" custom.

Don't see many companies doing them up like this.

Anyone ever seen a Salient here in Canada? Their web-site is facked, but here they are: http:// www. salientarmsstore.com/shop/glock-21-tier-one-package/

Any heavily modified Glocks in the collection?
 
I hate glocks but I still have a build sheet saved to send to glockworx some day soon... I do like the look of them with all the grip and slide work
 
I don't get it. It's like having your monogram engraved on a BIC pen. Glocks are generic bullet-launching appliances (not that there's anything wrong with that), not objets d'art.

kind of agree with this comment, holding a Glock is way far from ergonomic in the hand, a 1911 is better to shoot ...recoil/accuracy.....don't have a Glock, but I've shot it....., and yes I might have a G17 someday, not today and never as a first gun..... , my first gun was a Beretta PX4 Storm (9mm), very friendly in hands, extremely accurate and reliable.
 
The whole glock vrs 1911... plastic vrs metal thing makes me laugh.... Its kinda like saying I only like women with big boobs kick the small ones out of bed, variety is the spice of life. Btw I have 5 1911's

agree with you, it is lik if Glock people are just not open to other guns,..........well it's a choice....., I've tried two Glock, both were with much recoil, which was made me loosing time to put back the sight on bulleye, for that kind of action, I take my two Tokarev 1945, almost the same experience....but with better fun to shoot, it is only my opinion based on my experience, THE BEST BUY YOU WILL DO IS THE GUN YOU LIKE AND FITS YOUR HAND, you like a gun, well go for it :eek:)

don't worry, it is not because I don't like Glock, I like Glock, don't have one now , one day ......not today....

Ruger Mark III Hunter / Colt 1911 .22lr / Beretta PX4 Storm & 92fs / two Tokarev 1945 / S&W 686p (.357magnum 7rounds) & 629 classic Deluxe (.44magnum) / Remington R1 enhanced (.45acp) ....and incoming.....

If you're discussing ergonomics then you clearly haven't a clue what you're doing with a pistol. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you've had zero professional training as well. The "fit" of a handgun is pure bullsh*t. No doubt some guns "feel" better in the hand, but making your decision based on two minutes of dry(non firing) handling of a gun at the store is beyond stupid. Even if you fired a box or two before deciding, if you have no training to back up your decision then you're simply making a choice based on aesthetics, peer pressure, popular appeal, and "fit and feel". Rarely does anyone ever select a firearm based on an intended purpose. The most common criteria people look for is calibre and/or magazine capacity. These two criteria cover most of the hunting and competition crowd as they feel only calibre matters for the hunters (and some competitors) and capacity for the competitors. Operating system(DA/SA SA, Safe DA, DAO) is almost never considered because most new to the activity haven't bothered to research such differences. Looking cool or replicating some crap seen on the big screen is priority one, sometimes the only priority.

Your claim that a 1911 is more accurate than a Glock is based on zero evidence. A short light single action trigger in a large heavy gun does lend itself well to more consistent shooting, and does a good job at covering up user error. In that regard it can be shot to a greater level of accuracy/consistency by lesser experienced shooters. As for recoil, the Glock has the lower bore axis which translates into less muzzle rise during recoil. This is scientific fact not speculation. Is a 1911 or any other auto overly difficult to control? No, but any advantage is still an advantage.

The PX4 is a gigantic piece of sh*t. They aren't overly reliable, the slide mounted safety is dumb, outdated, and not necessary nor is the exposed hammer. DA/SA is far from easy to learn and the DA is absolutely horrendous in both length of pull and weight.

Like women, variety in firearms is the sign of someone who doesn't know what they want and is incapable of settling on/with one and making it work. If you have just one(of either item above) you tend to be very familiar with it and grow to trust it.

Read above on "fit" and your lack of performance with the Glocks you tried was entirely because of you the operator, not the design. Seek professional training.
