Glock

[venenoindy]

The G17 is one of my all time favorites, great all around SD handgun. While there is other good handguns I think Glock is the hard to beat.

Knew youd like it. Recently read were a 17 made it to 300,000rnds. Havent read about any other pistols doing that.

I'd hate to be the guy that fires number 300,001. lol Just havin' fun with ya, that's all.

Somehow revolvers have existed for years without extra switches or levers.

This is worth repeating

You know your right. Glocks are the only pistol that kabooms have ever happened to He should probaly get rid of that 9mm too, as they only stun the assailant. Ahhhh! the internet

I owned a Glock 17 (bought new) in the late 80s. I traded it off after a year or so. Never had any real problem with it but I have never wanted another one; not even a little. The Glock pistol just doesn't have a soul.

(Sets back and waits for much "wailing and gnashing of teeth" by the Glock lovers. )

...my only concern is that it doesn't have a safety switch or button that you have to manually push or move. . . .

It's called the "trigger."

I started with a 17 and then added a 19 and a 26. I like em! I use the same xs big dots on the 19 and 26 being carry/SD guns. But went with a three dot on the 17 for target/SHTF drop leg with light. They are great guns for the money.

There have been CZ tests that are impressive

I like clocks ! I have several at home. Uh...hmmm... Sorry ! I must have misread something.
Never mind...

 

[DustyDawg48]

I started with the G35 and then moved to a 19, then a 21 (which is my favorite pistol I own) and then to a G17...and then a G22... I can't help myself. I started shooting IDPA in January of 2009 and made the move from my Springfield 1911 to my Glock 21 and I haven't looked back. Maybe yours doesn't have a soul but mine sure does!

congrats on the glock. the model 17 was gaston glock's first design and a good one in my opinion. i have heard of glock failures and accidents with em, that happens to most firearms. you must practice safety for sure....... i own and luv em for SD and target shootn. i would like to know what happened to the one on this thread that aparently had a failure ???? bad ammo, obstructed bore, ?????

I think that is everybody...nobody wants to admit they shot a super-hot hand load in crappy brass through a dirty barrel. It was the guns fault, of course, since shooting reloads voids the warranty, right? That picture sure gets circulated by the haters but it never comes with any explanations!

I've actually met an individual on another forum and he freely admits his .40 cal kBoom! was a direct result of him loading incredibly hot, not an issue with a design.

Take a Sig for a spin, you'll never want another glock... just sayin..

Perhaps not. As much as I've tried to like Sigs, they just do not fit in my grip comfortably. I've nothing else against them, but I know I wouldn't carry one or train with it, so I refrain from adding one to the collection.

Well, of course, it doesn't have a soul. It's an inanimate object. However, there's no denying combat tupperware has character. What other kitchen supplies have made the leap from domestic dull-dom (okay, so I made that word up) to exciting life of the range party.

Heck, even Ginsu is still waiting for deliverance. At best it gets profiled as the potential murder weapon on a television whodunnit show.

Hard to argue with that. Good thing I don't have any nickeled firearms. Like most Glock owners, Sam Garard had a lot of confidence in his. I think that's the gist of all this.

 

[Cricket Tickler]

This above and a g26 will follow as well.

Thats exactly what happened to me. Bought the 17, then the 4th gen 19, and a 26 a few weeks later.

 

[PeterJLH09]

I just purchased a G23 for work (cash logistics) yesterday, and already I've got my eye on a nice little G27! Perfect BUG if you ask me!

 

[toddk]

Bought a Glock and a sig within a month of each other... Now I have two glocks, going on three, and I sold the Sig. I liked it, but couldn't live without it.
Just saying.
