You will buy a Glock

March 12, 2022, 06:13 PM

Truth be told, by the numbers/magazine racing the Dagger is absolutely a better G19(better sights, better grip etc.). But to say it’s a BETTER GUN frankly remains to be seen. Glock is used by a metric ton of both civilian shooters and .mil/Leo alike. It has the history, it’s proven. The Dagger isn’t and frankly will likely never be at near the same level. Does that make it a POS? Probably not, I don’t know it’s one I have no practical experience with but my guess is it’s a decent gun. At $299 something has to give though and my guess it will be QC.

If I have any real complaint about the Dagger without shooting one it’s that every asshole and their brother wants to build YET ANOTHER GLOCK 19. Don’t get me wrong the Glock 19 is a awesome gun but YAWN, I am tired of the same striker fired 9mm again and again and again

Perfect, thank you.
My son wanted a holster like that for his Glocks with different barrel lengths, to avoid investing in a draw full of holsters like many of us have.

I found both the FDE Phalanx Stealth Operator Holsters I have now on eBay CHEAP!
Look around & you will find them under $20 & that's a bargain for what you are getting IMO

I will never ever buy a Glock!! I'm old I don't like plastic I don't stryker fired and I find them to be very ugly. I know they are good guns but I'll never get one.

Good, more for the rest of us. According to jjc, there aren't as many as you'd think anyway...

When you want to dig a hole, you don't need a pretty shovel.

True story- my other Glocks are a couple Gen-5-17s. Pretty much like everything about them.

I almost snagged that knife locally in FDE color. I saw some interesting history on Glocks first attempt at a battle knife. I know there first contract was for Austria to attach as a bayonet for the Aug. Prior to that, Gaston made a sample knife for someone important and the knife was slipped into a desk drawer, banged by the mans hand and the damn blade broke in two. Later in the video showed the new knife being whacked with quite a hammer and it didnt break.

That's interesting David.

For the price and being made in Austria I picked up one for myself and one for my cousin.

I've had a Glock knife for a couple of years. It's the least of my spending problems.

I have had a few glocks… 22, 43, and currently have a 17gen5. They’re another tool, they shoot well, and variety is the spice of life. I trained on them in the academy but carried a 226. While not in my #1 favorite and most sexy pistol ever, they’re fun to shoot and do so well. I don’t see what all the rabid anti glock negativity is all about. Don’t want one, don’t buy one.

Well, I don't change firearms like I'm changing my underwear. It's best to pick a platform and stick with it.

For one thing, the grip angles of Glocks and SIGs are different, making these two brands of pistols point differntly. You might want to take this into consideration.
