Glock hater

I hate those top heavy plastic bricks.

Sorry folks, but a handgun should be made out of steel, have an external safety of some sort, and a single action trigger. It should also be chambered either in .45ACP or 10mm, with .38 Super as an acceptable alternative option.

And I thought dinosaurs were extinct...lol... :p
 
For the record I'm not a Glock hater, I have heard great things about them and considering buying one. I just found this website and was curious as to what you guys have to say as many of you have far more expirence with a greater range of firearms than I.
 
I've fired several Glocks in 9mm, 40 S&W and 45, including an Arotek ported and internally laser sighted model. They are very durable, easy to use and easy to shoot. The 'large frames' are much to big for my hands, I find I shoot the 'small frame' better. Given what they are designed for (service use as a secondary weapon) they are quite good, if you treat one like a pistol they are very good, but if you treat one like it's a game to see if you can make it break, they will bite.
 
Glocks are easy to use, and reliable. Parts are cheap. However, it seems to me the trend for plastic pistols is not only to have a rail for attachments, but also to be ambi -dextrous. ie: XD, New HK's, M&P, etc..
the also appear to have the varying shooters hand size in mind, with a new pistols coming out with extra grips. I thought the Glock was going to have an ambi mag release (although this may not be a strong point, as the shooters I know that are left handed use thier trigger finger to press the mag release), but what they should come out with is a way to change the grip.

Not me, I'd just prefer not to see them period. A glock is like a rusty hammer in the bottom of your tool box. It will drive the nail you need to hit every time, with no character, grace, or style. It has the personality of a cardboard cutout and the ergonomics of a piece of four by two. Thats it in a nut shell, you can't fault the function of the unit, but they have to be the origin of the contraction "fugly".....pity we don't still have the barf emoticon, but if you like them, buy one, leaves more nice guns for the rest of us!:dancingbanana: Form should follow function, and normally does, but in this case the company has happily ignored complaints from users and made it's market share by being the lowest cost unit that works to attract the bean-counters(in fleet sales, not to us poor civvies:( ) The glock is a pistol designed for people who don't shoot pistols, and how anyone can love that trigger is beyond me.....but it's a free country (so far ) so have all you like, just don't look for one on my belt.

...and the owner (an active member on this board in the EE section) STILL owns a Glock (he's gone thru three, I think, since this one). G34 in (the infamous, unsupported chamber caliber) .40 S&W.
This was using a well-known "local" commercially reloaded ammo source (yes they seem to be loaded a little on the warm side). Happened a few years ago. I was standing beside him at the indoor range when it happened, and had my digital camera. Gun was not damaged, although it blew the mag right out of the gun and his fingers were singed a bit (note the powder burn marks). Although the mag appears damaged in the photo, it still functioned perfectly afterwards.
And for the record, I have never experienced a KB in my own G22, even using the same source for ammo.

Glocks are just plain fun to shoot.
