Why do I feel the need to get a Glock

The thing I love about my G17 is I can take it to the range blow off a 100 rounds, strip it down on the spot in seconds for a quick clean and then blow off another 100 rounds. It's simple, it's reliable and it works.

The thing I like about my 1911(Norinco), is that I can take it to the range, blow off a 100 rds., and then blow off another 100 rds., without having to strip it down and clean it!

That's something I can't seem to do with my Norc 1911. After about 100 rounds I usually need to at least clean the feed ramp. Something a quick polish would probably resolve.

With my Glock though, I've run hundreds of rounds through it without the slightest cleaning and never have issues.
 
Glocks are boring. There's nothing to fix or tune to get it working, cleaning one barely gets me through the opening credits of a good movie, and I keep practicing IA drills but never get to use them. I guess if all you want to do is shoot all the time they're okay...

Cause every other "modern" semi auto handgun requires 30mins and tools to take down and clean...?

At least mine do not need a trigger pull to break down :)

Youre supposed to clean glocks? ;) I take mine to the glock armourer 1 time per year and he cleans it. Some times I just take it apart and check it out, see whats going on in there, make sure there are no boo boos. Maybe i put a drop of oil on the spot where the disconnect rubs metal on metal. The glock armourer told me he saw a guy who fried the plastic parts of his slide rails [up by the chamber] because he greased it and the grease heated up from many rnds fired and cooked the polymer out. Gun still worked obvs but people consistently over lube and over clean glocks.

I own two glocks, I cleaned one of them once....it didn't run any differently afterwards than before, so I just don't bother anymore. When it gets dirty enough, I'll replace it haha.

So far I'm at about 3000 rounds without cleaning and that particular gun still works like the day I got it, no malfunctions whatsoever. Both are Gen 4's. The newer gun only has a few hundred rounds through it since I got it, but has also never been cleaned by me, and I bought it used. Still no malfunctions on that one either.

Glocks were built to run full of mud and snow and salt water, if I ever drop my gun in one of those substances, it will get a thorough cleaning afterwards, but otherwise it will just keep eating 9mm all day long.

Doesnt mean you shouldnt clean it. Hickok45 still cleans his after every range use. Remind me and other not to buy your glocks lol.

Haha, don't worry, my Glocks won't ever be sold, when they're worn out they'll be retired to the safe and kept as legacies of the many years of fun shooting with them....I doubt I will ever see that day though, most likely I'll pass them on to my children and they to their children.......Glock has examples from the first generation with close to half a million rounds fired and no malfunctions.
 
Next time the Glock urge gets too strong,go out to the shed and nail two short 2 X 4's together in the shape of a pistol.
Grip the 2 x 4 in your hand and then remember.
The urge will go away.

Reason #412 to like Glocks: I can easily make "blue gun" training mock-ups in my garage ;)
 
I carried one daily for about 15 years (and shot thousands of rounds through it), then was without one for 8 years. The itch was strong - and now I've finally got a Glock 22 of my own. It feels good in my hand - it's like coming home.
 
I'll play. Becuase you like a gun that naturaly points high, has a grip angle taken from the Luger, a hump in the grip that now comes with aggressive checkering to enhance an already uncomfortable grip and lastly because you saw a nice set of decent sights that will fit on the Glock.
