well i was hoping for a 17 but i'll probably try it anyway.

glocks are cool have handled and shot several 9s and 45s the recoil absorbtion from the frame flexing is amazing. have not handled any other polymer frame would be interesting to compare.

One word..............PERFECTION

 

[glockman23]

Can't explain the fascination... only thing I know is that resistance is futile.

That's a sweet lineup you got there!

I could tell you a cool feature about the Glocks, If your trigger main spring breaks it will still function. After you shoot continue to hold the trigger down and just let off enough to reset and fire it again. If you accidentally let off of the trigger hold it all the way down and work the slide just enough to reset the trigger, then release slightly and fire. I'm pretty sure it is the only weapon on the market that you can do this with! Hope this was clear as mud!

Why do people choose Ford over Chevy, Budwieser over Miller, or Glock over Springfield?










Because some things are just better!

True. Chevy and Bud any day. Id gladly take both SA and Glock.

I'm not trying to start a flame/brand war - I'm just honestly curious. What's the fascination some people have with Glocks? Is it just a respect/appreciation for pure function over form? I mean, to me, they just have no sense of "style" and look, I don't know, very plain/generic. Sure, a gun is a tool, I know, but still... I like a certain look in a gun.

I'm looking to add another quality 9mm ... and I'm trying to understand the "Glock thing."

I JUST DONT GET THE WHOLE PLASIC GUN THING IVE SHOT GLOCKS, RUGERS, WALTHERS ,SIGS AND STILL LIKE 1911TYPE PISTOLS BERETTAS OTHER METAL FRAM WOOD GRIP MASTERPIECES BETTER .

However the glock is more picky with ammo than the sigma is.

My Glock is picky with ammo too... It simply won't fire without it!!

I have been thinking about renting one at pop guns this weekend just to check it out. I hope the one they have isn't utterly beaten to crap.

Be sure to wear a respirator. I was in there last week and there was ZERO ventilation. There was a haze of smoke and it was actually hard to breath. As much as it pains me to say, Pops is the 2nd best indoor range in Indy and there are only 2. As soon as I get my membership to DCC, I hopefully will never have to visit either again.

Definitely wanting to try out a Glock for myself after reading some of the reasoning behind their popularity.

May very well end up my next purchase, and EDC for that matter.

applied ballistics there in lafayette has rentals...might check with them

2 reasons why Glocks facinate people.

Reason #1

Reason #2

 

[Colt556]

I own 3 Glocks now. 2 10mms and a .357 SIG. I've had 17, 19, 20, 21, 17L and 30s. Now it's down to a 20, 29 and 33. They are utilitarian to me. I grab the 33 when I walk the dog or when working in the garage. I might throw it or the 29 in the car for quick trips. The 20 has a Glock lite/laser on it an rest near my bed. They are deadly reliable and decent tools. I never worry about hurting them or having one not work. The only other gun I feel that I feel as comfortable with is my P7.

I don't remember any Glocks in the rental case. But then again, I don't usually pay a LOT of attention to the rental case.

Because Glocks are the best Really though, they arent for everyone. Go with what works best for you. There are so many great firearms out there to choose from. I dont think there is such a thing as the best, just the best for each individual person.

 

[kingnereli]

I don't understand it either (though my views have softened someone since I've been on INGO.) Glocks don't do anything better then a lot of other guns and do some things a lot worse. The pros and cons list says it all.

you are correct, it is just another gun.

Messing with the haters is just a perk.

Well - I bought a G19 - except... Damn the NICS and their damned delays. :/

Ah well.
