Think I may become a Glock owner...

[MuddyWaterMan]

But, you can't dispute that Glocks are by far the most purchased and used hand guns in the US, Glocks dominate. They are doing something right.

More people voted for Obama than any other candidate and he dominates as well. Does that mean he must be doing something right? Sorry bud I JUST DONT BUY IN TO THE "MILLIONS OF AMERICANS CAN'T BE WRONG" argument look at the voting rercord and its hard to dispute that indeed they CAN,lol, I will admit that they make a decent product but the fact is that the majority of your GLOCK sales are newbs without a clue is a belief I will hold firmly to. Not saying that alot of cops and everyday joes don't like them like you said,just that every time I see someone looking at a glock in my local gun store 9 times out of 10 it is PAINFULY obvious they dont have a clue. I will discontinue posting here as I truly didnt mean to jack this thread. Sorry bud.

The comparison to Obama is failed. More people voted for Obama because of the alternative, the overwhelming support he got from the mainstream media and his charismatic speaking ability. We'll see what his staying power is. Glocks have been around for quite a while, and it's not all just first time buyers. Just look to all of those who have won IDPA matches with Glocks (most dominate gun in IDPA) They certainly are not newbies that know nothing.

But you're correct. This conversation/debate is pointless. Those that do not like Glocks need not buy one.

Nice way to insult everyone here who owns a glock.

Not what I meant to do if that is how it sounded I am sorry. I truly doubt the kind of people I meant would be on this site sharing and researching in the first place. I was a little upset this morning and I guess it carried over into my post and I sincerely apologize.

GLOCKS RULE!!!!!

I avoided glocks like the plague, I had only fires a sub-compact, and in my paws that you might call a hand, I did not care for how it shot.

I was a staunch 1911 man until buying an HK Expert and then, funny how things work out, I was selling a HK Clone PSG-1 and to make the deal go down I had to work a trade into the deal and took a Glock 24C with a couple of 15 rounders. After shooting the thing it handles very nice, and the lighter trigger for the competition model makes it a pleasure to shoot. Full size frame fit my hand very well.

Now after having been only for 1911's; I have found several pistols I like having from my 1911, HK Expert (45 ACP) and now the glock 24C (40 S&W)

No problem. We all have bad days, and we all have our preferences and biases. What works for you, doesn't work for others and visa versa. We (us on a gun board) are pretty much in the same boat, and little issues about what gun you like or do not like is just the fine details amongst friends. It should not get to angst. Piece

 

[Texas1911]

I tell people all the time, a Glock is the Toyota Corolla of the gun world. It won't impress your friends, it won't get you the chicks, but it'll get you to the party every time, and that's what counts the most.

Glocks aren't particularly good looking, but damn do they work, and that's why I have a 19. I need to get mine re-worked by Dale also.

 

[brickboy240]

I have a 2nd generation Glock 22 that is my carry and "go to" gun. Bougt it new back in 1994 and the thing has never balked once.

I had Dale mod the grip and do a trigger job and I will say that the difference in a Glock with the grip mod and a stock Glock grip is NIGHT AND DAY! Now, my G22 points like a 1911...gotta love that.

Just about everyone I know that hates Glocks because of that annoying hump on the backstrap (me included) has loved the modded grip of my G22. Amazing what taking the hump out of the backstrap does for a pistol's pointability!

Since my G22 is an earlier one I did not have to take the finger grooves out but I would if it was newer - I detest finger grooves on any pistol.

Yes, you'd be shocked at how nicely Dale's grip fits your hand...forget everything you knew about stock Glock grips and how awful they feel...Dales grip mods make the Glock a VERY shootable piece, indeed!

[TxEMTP69]

OK how do you get a hold of Dale and whats the price range on a grip mod?

 

[DirtyD]

gripreductions.com, and I think it is $125....

 

[shilohshooters]

Dale's at Shiloh every Thursday around 6pm. Stop on by and talk to him, he's a great guy.

 

[dee]

Not sure about the model but the only Glock I've ever liked is the long barreled version with a trigger job, it was a very nice shooting gun.

 

[htxred]

Yeah, that may not be the best idea... I am going to get one of the LE packages, comes with an extra mag and saves me about $150....

dang saves you that much? so that means we can start charging you now right?

drop off a case of MRE's when you get a chance bro.

If you join the GSSF ($35/year) you can get a certificate (one each year you stay a member) to let you purchase a LE Glock at the discount price from a participating dealer (not all LE or GLock dealers are in the program). In Texas, there is Cheaper then Dirt, A place near SA, one down SW of Houston by Richmond I think, and two others, one of which is in Waco I think. Or you can order it from OMB and have it shipped to you FFL.

If you go to a dealer you choose from what they have on hand, if you go to OMB you can get exactly what you want.

All the guns are blue label LE so the full-size and compacts come with three mags, the subs only 2. Not all guns are available on the cert, I think the only two that are excluded are the G24 and G17L.

Also as a GSSF member you can hit any GSSF match and have you glock worked on for free for factory stuff, and can also sign up for the armorers course.

I bought a new in box blue Label 34 for just a hair over $400. Most the full size small and compact frames are <$400 for the basic model.

[Flight954]

Yea, I have case of Glockenitus

 

[40Arpent]

I never really warmed up to the two Glocks I've owned, and sold, but you guys are making me have seller's remorse. Weird how that works...you just want one just to have one...same as with a lot of other guns I own.

 

[DirtyD]

Just ordered my G23, Happy Birthday to me!
