I held off on buying a Glock 17 or 19 because I couldn't stand the Gen 3 finger grooves. Finally found a like new Gen 2 last summer and bought it for $400. I really enjoy shooting that pistol.

If the last gun on earth was a Glock, I would choose throwing stones.

Tried to like them came close to buying
but my Signess pulled me back, close as I've
gotten to glock is my new XDm 5.25

No glockage for me, nothing wrong with the gun
just so many glock glock glock people it turns me off.

Plus I've harrased my glock friends so much
I couldn't buy one or I'd take crap forever...

Now I want another Sig...

Picked up an unfired G19 with old extractor (k serial number) yesterday. That makes GLOCK number 35 I think.

Why? They are accurate, reliable, lightweight, high capacity, easy to work on, tons of holsters/accessories, and affordable.

This 3rd Gen G35 followed me home earlier this week. I just picked up a threaded 9mm conversion barrel and a bunch of spare mags. Smile



My Glock collection is small but covers the roles of CCW (G19) camping/wilderness gun (G20SF) and competition/fun range gun (G35). As far as Glocks go I think I am set for a while.

Yes, I guess I will after all. After years of toying with the idea of a glock, I finally pulled the trigger on a G36 from a fellow forum member. While i won't have it for a week or so, I look forward to seeing if they are all they're cracked up to be. If so it will become my EDC.

Absolutely. I have a late November 2011 Gen 4 19, and the thing has worked like any old Glock should since round number 1. I really like the new bigger and easier to press mag release. The backstraps, I could take or leave.

No, I really won't! That is not to say that Glocks aren't good guns. They are, but they just do not fit me. It is like picking up a brick.

At this point, I would wager (and this is largely based on personal experience that I have experienced personally...) People aren't so turned off by the guns themselves as they are the mindless, cult-like follower zombies.



Case in point - a short protective shooting course I attended last year. The drooling imbecile standing next to me (wearing tacti-cool-everything) sees my P228 and states "You should get a Glock." Not wanting to appear anti-social I resisted the urge to respond with "You should STFU Walter." Note that there were only 8 or 9 of us & the class was fairly evenly split between 1911's, XD, Glocks... but only 1 other Sig. A guy had a P229 duo in 9mm. (Very sweet! Mad) I don't know what Mr. Middy's fucking problem was because he didn't seem to be bothering anyone else. I wonder if he commented to the guy with the 229.

I've owned more than one & would readily snatch up another 2nd gen because they don't have the ridiculous finger grooves. I hate those damned things. I'd love to pick up another G19 or two.

They're super easy to modify for someone handy.

Exactly, got a couple of Glockophiles in the group, glock glock glock, so I just buy another Sig LOL

About the only glock I'd go for is the 10mm version as it's a cheap way to get a 10mm gun..

Or I could go used 220 conversion....

We have a local swap guide and a year ago I drove an hour to persue a good deal on a Glock only because the guy wrote in his add "try before you buy" I did, it was accurate but it did not feel right! I shot a couple of mags through it too, but I could'nt justify buying it, in all honesty it felt chinsy, that might be because in my mind I want STEEL.so when I told him I would have to pass, he brought out a 1 year old CZ 75 sp 01 custom shop he paid $1275.00 for and he said I will take $ 850.00 cash, I held it and said where is the nearest atm? had $400.00 for the glock, so basically I owe a big thanks to all the Glock hoopla that led me to this fine ending.

For a while, Brownell's web site actually had a step-by-step instruction set on how to remove these. It was quite informative & their final result made the pistol look like the grooves has never been there. Sadly, it was removed - according to rumor - at the request of Glock corporate.
