Do You Love Glocks Or Hate Glocks, And Why?

I freaking love Glock pistols. ONLY 3rd Gen AUSTRIA rollmarked Glocks with Tennifer treated slide/barrel are considered True Glocks, all newer USA 4th Gen are a pathetic discrace (sorry owners)

My all time Fav is the full size G21 & compact G30/G30SF/G30S (SF models are acceptable) even a 3rd Gen Glock 21SF

I've owned a G17, G21, G27 sub compact .40, and G21 again. My G17 9X19 was the most accurate 9mm I've ever owned or shot in my entire lifetime, surpassing my 6 Berettas, 2 Sig P226, HK USP, etc. I'm talking about stupid accurate, like at 25 yards standing up freehand, Tac stance two handed, fast shooting, one little ragged hole. The quick reset trigger is pure ###, just bang, click, bang, click, etc.


The best concealed carry / duty backup on the face of this planet is a sub-compact G27 with night sights (or G26 if 9mm is preferred) the G27 is amazing power of 11 rounds of potent .40 cal 180 grain Gold Dots in the palm of your hand......made those snub nose .38/.357 obsolete (exept AirLite .357 Mag hammer-less snub nosed S&W)

For a full size pistol, the 3rd Gen Glock 21 .45 Auto is unmatched....a super impressive 13+1 of massive 230 grain +P JHP @ 950-1,000 fps is awe inspiring. Yes, factory Underwood .45 Auto +P 230 gr GDHP are rated at 1,000 fps. On a side note, I'd love to test that sizzling load in a MARK 23 with 6" match grade barrel at 100 yards.


But to carry every day (in the USA of coarse) the compact Glock 30S .45 Auto sporting factory night sights, with a 10+1 capacity, super light, compact, reliable & accurate.


GLOCK PERFECTION ;)

I am surprised to hear that, we see many posts saying that gen 4 is a real good version, I personaly want a G17 and been awaiting and looking on the reviews..., was thinking about the Gen4, and now looking at your comment.....,so on which specs the Gen 4 would fail compare to the Gen 3 ?

and why only Austria would be ok?

Just a matter of opinion^^^ for me gen 3 has nothing on gen4 in terms of ergonomics and grip texture also the larger mag release button is nice improvement. The old tenifer finish on most gen 3's might've been more durable but I much prefer the look of the new dull finish over that slick gloss black one. Personally Id rather shoot a gen 2 than a gen 3.
 
I love my glocks over all the rest that I own/owned. Super simple. Easiest to maintain/repair/clean. Personalization options are practically endless. Parts are easy to get. I love the fit of my glock 19 the most but i haven't tried any of the sub compacts yet.

The Gen 4 G20 hasn't had any issues I'm aware of.

.45 ACP 185 gr (12 g) Bonded Defense 1,225 ft/s (373 m/s) 616 ft·lbf (835 J) hottest load I can find at the moment I'm sure there are even hotter loads.

.45 ACP 230 grain +P running @ 1,000 fps gives only 511 ft-lbs of force. (your underwood load)

10mm Buffalo Bore 220 grain running @ 1,200 fps gives 703 ft-lbs of force.


Damn near 200 ft-lbs more running a G20. Plus 15+1 or 17+1 with the +2 on it. That's gonna ruin a crackhead's day pretty quick.

Glocks are ugly, fit terribly in the hand but they just plain work. Its a tool.

Mechanically I LOVE them. Everything that's there is there for a reason, nothing frivolous.

but they don't stir the emotions that a 92 or a 1911 do.

If I were to make an analogy a Beretta 92 is a Ferrari and a 1911 is a Mustang. A Glock is a Corolla.
 
Because The Lord works in mysterious ways.

Tried a few plastic guns, including a glock 17. I guess I really didn't get why in Canada, you'd need something light. It's not like we get to pack them around. LE and military excluded. So by saying that, it's only ever going to be a range gun for the most part. I can't comment on the guys competing, I really have no idea what's suitable for that. If only a range gun, why wouldn't you want something a little heavier? Steel/alloy handguns are much nicer in the recoil department, and your arms get a break between magazines.
I have nothing against glocks or any plastic gun for that matter. I actually shot my glock better than my m&p and even my sig. I just had way more fun shooting a heavier and more accurate pistol.

You want to adjust your first point, everyone knows that Glock are with a snappy recoil, which is typical from plastic toy.

Well, I've tried two Glock sor far and I disagree with you, both were snappy in hands, same for the PX4 Storm that I had

I agree with both of those comments: I appreciate Glocks, feel they are fine firearms and respect the fact of their dependable simplicity. One's mind and finger are the only true safeties anyways.

I, personally from experience, can't shoot a Glock worth sh!t over a heavier metal gun (Sig, 1911, etc)

Totally agree. I need some heavy metal - the tupperware guns are just too light.
 
Love my Glock 17 Gen 4, but initially struggled with accuracy so did the trigger, changed the barrel, guide rod, etc. fantastic now. Some would say you shouldn't need to do all that but I was ok with as I ended up with a great firearm. I also enjoy my CZ, my M&P, my revolvers, and my 1911. I haven't found any firearm I really dislike, just some I like more than others.

On another forum here, I got into a discussion which seemed to ruffle some feathers regarding the so-called Glock "safe action", which has no manual safety, and about accidental discharges relating to this.

While I was enjoying debating the issue with various and sundry, and probably got a little too involved, I was surprised to discover that the thread was starting to turn ugly, and was invited to depart.

It seemed that publicly stating your belief that Glocks are not the world's most perfect handgun was kind of like endorsing Nun-Beating.

But, while many do love them, I'm sure that not everyone loves Glocks.:

Quite the persecution complex you have going there. I was in your other thread from start to finish and NOBODY asked you to leave. We just said you were wrong. Apparently unable to deal with that you declined to come back.

Not a single person talked about Glock or any other brand being the "worlds most perfect handgun". That entire conversation was about the Glock trigger/safety systems being no worse than any other.

You were wrong then and we told you such. You clearly learned nothing from that conversation and are back to stir up the sh!t once more.

I simply stated my opinion as I saw it.
It's what I believe.
And, I did NOT attack those that disagreed with me.
I simply offered a rebuttal to their arguments.
What I DID do wrong was to respond with a detailed rebuttal to just about all who offered an opposing opinion.
I should have just let it go with a couple of replies.
Read the thread if you like. IMHO I attacked no one. I just argued my position, and that resulted in anger, which was a complete surprise to me..

YOU started with the name calling. Nobody else sunk to personal attacks. We said you were wrong and offered up evidence to back that opinion. If arguing that you are wrong is a personal attack then that is an issue with you, not the rest of us. Apparently your world is different from the rest of us.
