I had a Glock 23, and just could not feel the love. The bumps on the front strap didn't fit my hand, and it just didn't point for me. I traded it in on a P225 that was a PD trade-in, and never looked back...got a P6 and another 225.

This is the only Glock I own...
I've owned three pistols and sold three. I just don't like them. There's nothing technically at fault with them, it's just a personal preference. They are kind of like the sluts of the handgun market. Always ready and dependable...just not something you are proud to introduce to mom and dad.This message has been edited.

I came out of the closet on my Glock love a long time ago.
While I also have a love of high dollar 1911's and Sigs, the little plastic Glock in 9mm and 45 ACP are the two pistols I always seem to come back to.
Holding a G17 to me is like shaking the hand of an old friend.

I fired a glock 20 last week and while it was very accurate i'd rather pound 10 penny nails with it then shoot it again. Not my cup of tea.

I too was a Glock hater until I bought a Glock 21SF and love the damn ugly thing!
I may be adding a Glock 19 in the near future; the G21SF is for home defense while the G19 would be for carry.
What do you think of "Hans and Franz" as names for my Plastic Fantastic?
I forget- is that a greater than or less than symbol?

I think they're a very aesthetically pleasing gun and no doubt are reliable but I just don't like them. Too overglorified by stupid rap artists as well. There is something about how they feel while you're shooting that I don't like. I'd say the Sigs I've shot seem more solid and composed. To each his own but I doubt I would own one.

I believe he's saying that the MP is greater than the Glock. I disagree.

I admit I own a Glock, don't shoot it as much as I should, but I own a 19 with Big Dots.

Hello, my name is John and I AM a Glock owner.
There, now I have said it out loud, I can feel all the tension and shame leaving my body. Thanks Para, I needed that.

huskerlrrp, I edited your photo. The external site was repeatedly asking for a certificate.

They might not be purty, but there's nothing wrong with a Glock.

That would be a .45
I have a problem though. My Glocks procreate. I started off with a G36, then got a CCF-framed G17-esque gun, and now a G27. Those new RTF guns are looking mighty attractive... A G19SF RTF = one of my dream guns.

Doesn't Glock make a 11.4x32 pistol?

Out of all the glocks I've owned, I've never had the most famous one, a 19. Hey Para, should I buy a 19?
I have a 27 and am the proud owner of a new 30 that I'm about to work into my CCW rotation. I also plan to remedy that 19 issue in the near future.
