This is very ture. I was a born Smith & Wesson & 1911 man. Fell deeply in love with Sigs and found my way to being a handgun guy. I do still like Rifes and a good Shotgun.
Got a Glock 19 and thought that if I don't like it I knew I could always sell it or trade with no troubles. My Glock 19 is a great gun. Fun to shoot, feels great. Mine has night sights and a set if CT Laser Grips. Insight M3 light is mounted on it and I call it The Night Fighter! Stays real close to a spot in my house for easy reach.

But you'll never admit it. You'll live a closeted life and die a bitter old man.

It doesn't have to be like that, y'know. Just own up and be free.


Big Grin LOL! You are sooooo right. Actually for me, the Glock 30 was my first gun purchase. I have left and come back to Glocks over the years. Now I have 4...they will stay in the collection...

As long as I am confessing, I have been spending extra time with my Beretta lately too...

I read somewhere in this thread about the cost of glocks and how they are a great plastic gun for the price and that is why so many people buy them. I am not arguing that point. Buy what you shoot well. For me I do not shoot glocks well so I bought a sp 2022 instead. A great alternative for the guys who want a decocker, don't like the grip angle, just don't shoot them well, etc. There are many other great choices as well. FNP, XD, etc. Again, buy what you shoot well.

Glocks are great weapons. I shoot my 19 just as well as I do my 220ST. It has snuck it's way into my carry rotation with my 30. The 17 is soon to follow!!

How many of you can relate to my experience? I went to the range the other day to try out a few new CCW options and ended up shooting a G23. I'm still fairly new to handguns and had never even held a Glock before that, so no pre-conceived notions here. First impression...felt weird in my hand, especially next to the M&P and my 226. Blocky, uncomfortable wrist angle, finger grooves not matching my fingers, just not right. Second impression...wow, there are a bunch of holes in the target exactly where I was aiming. Not more accurate than my Sig, but not too far behind either. I ended up putting about 100 rounds through it, and the groups were TIGHT!

What's a guy to do? I really didn't like the grip, but I can't ignore the results either. Why do guns have to be so complicated?!

Yes... It feels good to get it out. I love my glock.

I shot a 226 all last year and swore I would NEVER shoot an ugly piece of plastic. But I lied. I was wrong. I shot a g34 and it was love at first bite. The trigger guard bites my finger, she feels blocky, and compared to my 226 she's dark and simple - not curvy and sleek. But oh does she shoot!! On target, on time, every time - naturally with no adjustments.

Well that was it for me. I was hooked. Next I bought a g19 to be my primary ccw. And it turned out to be even sweeter than the g34 in some ways. It has become my favorite, hands down.

No, I won't. Whoever decided that what feels like a broken trigger on a gun makes it feel good is insane.



Doesn't matter what the press says. Doesn't matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn't matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right. This nation was founded on one principle above all else: The requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world -- "No, YOU move."

The easy answer for the mis-aligned finger grooves is a grinder and some sanding. My 23 has been "modified" and is now groove-less. My 21SF and 30SF weren't a problem so they are stock.






What part of "...Shall not be infringed" don't you understand???

Glocks are great pistols. Sigs are exceptional pistols. I own both but in my home a P229 in .40 does home defense duty for me.....

Same story here! Same evil laugh. I'll own another, though, I admit.

Have my 22 and 27. Trading off my last Sig tomorrow for another striker-fired pistol (Kahr). I will always love the Sigs, but I've been shooting soley Glocks for the past 3.5 years and there's something to be said for the same trigger pull each and every time.

I still think they're ugly as all get-out, but they work.

I might have to change my avatar for the first time in 4 years...

Nope, have not and will not buy one. Everyone's got their likes/dislikes. I respect the design and engineering that went into it.
