Glocks are ugly?

[machinerydoctor]

My wife got her RPAL early this year and since she wasn't comfortable with guns yet I purchased a Browning 1911A1 .22 for her. After putting about a 1000 rounds through it she announced that she wanted something with a bit more "Authority". She also said how about a Glock? I took her in to the local shop. she held a G17 and said I'll take it. She tried my Shadow a few times but didn't like the weight. The polymer frame suited her best.

Thats why my glock is the 7th pistol I bought not the first

That makes sence, I could see myself buying one if I had some cash to spend on another pistol and I wanted something comptely new

If they didn't work so damn well I'm willing to bet that they wouldn't sell many. They aren't exactly an aesthetically pleasing design.

Glocks work just as well as any other big name handgun out there but I'm not going to say they are better. Glock though has a lot of public relations though

BTW yes I've owned Glocks... just don't tell anyone or I'll deny it

Saw those same vids... Glock's are good guns, don't think they are superior to any other. Sigs and HK's are way up there with reliability and are damned ###y too. I'm not opposed to buying a Glock, but I just haven't found one that I like.

Ever try pistol whipping someone with a polymer gun? It's like trying to beat someone with a wiffle ball bat....

Don’t mind me but what “real” guns are we talking about here?

Real steel. Mostly 1911's and CZ, Jericho. Not a SIG fan though, too light and boxy, IMO.

Nice Blocks... er... Glocks...

I have two G17's. I hated them before but now I like them a lot. Honestly they are ugly but workmanship of the slide is exceptional compare with many other guns. These Glock is quite something else can turn a true hater into user.

 

[Soulfly]

I would buy a Glock just to use it as a target.

 

[drache]

Not a SIG fan though, too light

Sig P226 - 2.1 lbs
Colt 1911 - 2.4 lbs
CZ-75 - 2.2 lbs
941 9mm (Full) - 2.2 lbs
941 .40 (Full) - 2.0 lbs
Glock 17 - 1.4 lbs

What is that rubber thing underneath the trigger guard?

What is that rubber thing underneath the trigger guard?

Inside are the wires to the light. You can see the button to turn the light on inside one of the finger grooves.

I just cant bring myself to do it not when there are ###y ass guns like the 92fs and most 1911's

You can have both and play Die Hard 2 = 92 vs Glock 7 porcelain gun made in Germany

 

[skoal]

I need those grips for mine

 

[Super Trooper]

Pop off a few mags of 10 MM loaded HOT out of a Glock 20.

You are not gonna care what the gun looks like.

Also, with the big dog bang and muzzle flash, prepare for a crowd to come see what you are packing.

Are Glocks aesthetically pleasing? No.

Neither is my framing hammer.

Function before form.

If this dog:

Yeah, yeah. "kill it with fire". There. It's been said.

 

[id64]

Oh, cmon! At least one of them is should be named SiG and another one is Tokarev

If this dog:

or this one:

or this one:

Yeah, yeah. "kill it with fire". There. It's been said.

I hated Glocks for ages but now I think Glocks have a purposeful elegance to them. Very clean looking gun. I like my Sigs too though…
