I am curious to hear why people like Glocks. I know that there are a lot of fans out there. I kind of feel like I need to give one a chance, but the few that I have picked up never really felt right for me.
I am curious to hear what all of the pluses are for them?
I used to feel the same way until I was offered an amazing deal on a like new G27. I decided to buy it and I like it. I'm not a Glock snob though because I love my Berettas but the Glock is a quality no-nonsense gun that works very well. They have zero personality but for a reliable easy to use gun they're hard to beat. I do like the fact that I can drop in a conversion barrel for about $100 and turn my .40 into a 9mm for cheaper ammo.
Oh man there are several reasons, in no particular order:
1-very mechanically reliable, easy to fix, cheap parts
2- finish is very robust, rust proof, very corrosion resistant, weather proof
3-low overall weight vs round capcity
4-polymer***,,have you ever grabbed an all steel gun after being out in the cold for hours?
5-consistant trigger shot to shot
6-very simple manual of arms, easy to get into action (first shot)
7-accurate enough for social work
I like all different kinds of guns, but I keep coming back to glock because nothing I have found does all of the above any better.
