glock opinions

[teh Nub]

I have a 23c and like it quite a bit over others. The middle sized glock feels the best in my hand and I really can't tell any difference in recoil from my compensated .40 over an uncompensated 9mm.

I am sorry guys but once you have owned, shot and carried an XD you would never want to carry a Glock again.

I have shot but never owned a Glock. The 50 or so rounds I put through it just told me a Glock wasn't for me.

I have not tried an XD as of yet.

I am sticking with my Ruger's they never let me down.

I've got only one Glock -- the 10mm G20.

It was an affordable and durable way for me to have access to the 10mm platform. Which is, in my opinion, perhaps the most versatile handgun round.

I've owned both. Glocks are lighter, I think only Kahrs weigh less than Glocks. If I ever get one again, it will be a Glock, not an XD.

The only one I have shot is the G22. It shoots great. A little bulky for concealed carry but I try :-)

I have 2 glocks, a g30 and a g21. I love em both. My next shall be a g29. Subcompact 10mm. Or a g22 hell I dunno.

I'll cast a vote for the G-19. Although it's not my primary carry, I like it. Ammo price is comparatively low to other calibers. It conceals okay as Glocks go. 15-round capacity. You could do worse.

Negative.

The XD has that annoying grip safety that locks up the slide if not fully depressed. In a fast and violent encounter, that's a failure waiting to happen.

Baahahahaha!!!!!! Yeah that old 1911 that our troops carried for 75+ years had that same annoying safety do-dad too.

As far as department use..... you'll carry whatever your department decides you'll carry. It's whatever brand of kool-aid the powers at be are drinking at the time.

XD = Sleeker, Safer, and it doesn't blow-up!!!

I had a glock 23, liked it, but it didn't carry well for me - also I'm MUCH more accurate with my .45 1911.

 

[Fenway]

Why are you "much" more accurate with the 1911? Any ideas as to why your accuracy improved?

also I'm MUCH more accurate with my .45 1911.

[Crystalship1]

And yes, the grip safety is annoying and stupid on ANY pistol, including the 1911, IMO. What's the point?

Nuff said!!!

You can't go wrong with any Glock, especially a 9 or a .40.

And I'm amazed people even use reloads... just like "they" say... you get what you pay for.

 

[turkeykiller]

I carry a g30 and an xd40 love both of them!

 

[slacker]

I shot my first glock today, the G17, and was very impressed. So impressed in fact that it might be my next gun purchase.

I felt like it was a very smooth shooting gun and it felt nice in my hands. I like 9mm since it is considerably cheaper than .45 ammo. I also shot a springfield xd9-c, and the S&W 9ve. I didn't really like the XD as much as I thought I would, maybe the non-compact version would be a better fit for my paws.

[WestSider]

I've never had anything against Glocks. My 21 has held up great for years. I'm looking to pick up a 19 for carry now.

If you are talking about purchased reloads, I'll agree with you. However, I have more faith in my personal reloads and almost any ammo. I've very careful and know it is done right.
