Okay, so I bought a Glock22 Gen4 Not too long ago, I've never owned a polymer handgun before but bought a glock because it seems to have maybe what I would call the most "popularity" or "following" of the poly handguns. Well... I'm not a fan, I don't really get the love. Give me a 1911 over a glock anyday! Anyways, I did a video to express not what I would call displeasure, but more like confusion. What's all the fuss about? Anyways, I've since traded this gun for a Ruger security six, but would like a different poly handgun to appease my understanding of why people love these guns so much.

What is the best polymer frame gun out there?

Loved my sti gp6... Sadly, couldn't find enough support for it from dealers....otherwise sig p-250 is a great choice, or Jericho...
 
nice review, i am also a steel framed fan... i have had a couple polymers that i loved the feel of but didn't enjoy shooting so i got rid of them. Not long ago i went to the range with my buddy and shot his m&p 9 that had the trigger worked, and that thing shot like a dream. so that would be my vote.

Anyway, I really like the M&P, Glocks and H&K polymer guns. I never warmed up to the Steyr L9.
 
OK, I had a chance to watch your video—good job and well done—a couple of comments:

  • It's probably moot since you don't have it any more but that probably wasn't a chrome barrel—since it has the serial number on it I'm pretty sure it's just a polished regular barrel.
  • I don't think I ever met someone else other than me who liked the Glock factory sights! I generally don't care for three-dot sights and have always like the Glock's sight picture
  • You mentioned it "takes getting used to." I think that's a good observation. i like to say that Glocks are easy to shoot poorly—they're so light and the trigger pull is challenging to an unfamiliar shooter that it can be tough to shoot well at first.
  • Don;t worry about the "mushy" first stage of the trigger pull—only release the trigger out to the reset point and you won't even experience it after the first shot
  • You mentioned you didn't like how it felt. I know what you mean—I didn't care for the boxy grip and plasticky trigger pull when I first held one. But...
  • Don't worry about how the gun sounds when dry firing or place to much emphasis on how it feels. It's how well it performs that counts! And you were shooting it quite well, even for being unfamiliar with it.
  • As I mentioned above I've owned a bunch of polymer guns. I still think you should give the Glock another chance :), but if not I think you should try an H&K...either a USP or P30L. The P30L feels better in the hand, but I prefer the trigger pull on the USP (or get a USP Tactical or Expert, or Mk23 for a top-notch trigger). I like M&Ps a bunch, but they might be too close to Glocks for your preference.
 
1911 are great, so are the Glocks, shadows, 92f, luv them all. Best of all is revolver as one of my 357, 44 or 50 is always in the range bag. Great triggers, no brass pickup FTW :)
 
Check a CZ P-09 if you can find one. Hammer fired but they've been getting rave reviews. Also the SIG P320 has been getting real good reviews as well, not to mention the PPQ. The Glock may have started it all and I don't mind them but others have definitely taken it further and have even made Glock make changes.
