Need Help playing the Glock numbers game!

I have lights mounted on both my Glocks from time to time, and have never had an issue. On the first generation of Glocks that had rails there was an early issue with mounting heavy lights or other heavy items, but I don't think that has been an issue for many years. There are numerous police agencies who carry Glocks with mounted lights as their primary firearm.

That is not the case...the gen 4 is an improvement but it is still not up to the reliability of the 9mm. The frame dimensions around the rails have not changed significantly across gen 3 and 4.

If you don't intend to run a light it may not be a concern but the 9mm Glocks are the best of the breed, followed by the 10mm - at least in the full size.

The 22 is not a bad gun but if you are after one Glock, the 17 or 19 would be the ones to choose between.




Dsiwy - how many of those armies are using the 9mm? Thinking a number pretty close to 28...

All are using 9mm if they want to play in the same playground as NATO ;) I agree with you on the 9mm glocks over the 40s :) 9mm is a better cal for range work IMO as its easyier to get back on target and cheaper to buy.

The issue with the frame flex was fixed with the new return spring system on the G22 Gen4 which softens the blow of the slide on the frame. I still wish glock would do something about the trigger bar flex, that would really improve the trigger.

The glock is a combat gun. The trigger is appropriate for the gun considering there is no safety (which I like a lot) and i really don't find the trigger that bad. It's not a precision sniper rifle, its an AK.

Was not putting the Glock down ;) I own one and its my favourite 9mm :)

Just saying Glock could easily improve the trigger by making the trigger bar stronger. Combat guns should always evolve to become greater, like the AR15 :) The gen 4 was a good start and many of the improvments were long over due.
