Blume9mmWhat's the deal with Glocks here?
Okay, I'm not really wanting to be a troll here... but I'm always curious why on this SIG SAUER forum it seems a lot of the pistol owners here are always talking about their Glocks....
I really can't imagine me going on a Glock forum and talking about my Sigs or Rugers... but I guess if I was going to do that I would have to first buy a Glock...
I'm not a Glock fan but that is a little hypocritical in that I have probably over the last 20 years shot maybe 4 different ones and then only a few rounds through each.... so, I'm thinking my anti-glock view is more of a tribal thing....
but still... what's the deal here with all the Glock talk?

RogueJSKSigForum is a community. We discuss all manner of things, well beyond just Sigs, or even just guns.
Besides, we're not just Sig owners... Most members here owns more than just Sigs. Hell, some members don't even own any Sigs. (And a few don't own any guns at all.)

Sig209what Rogue said
some boards are full of 'fan boys' and people who aren't googly eyed fan boys are driven off
Sigforum is pretty good about appreciating the various point / counterpoint arguments
as long as people are respectful / objective I think most opinions are represented.
plenty of Sig fans here. And Glock. and HK. And S&W. And Beretta, etc.
Good variety IMO.
And after 35+ years of success it's hard to argue Glock doesn't make a respectable line of polymer guns that form the benchmark for every other manufacturer.

DaBigBRThere's also a following here of nearly every other big name pistol. Maybe none are quite as big as the Glock following, but then none of them have sold as many guns in the last thirty years, either.

longjohnThat's the beauty of this forum. Lots of knowledge and experience passed around about a lot of things\firearms

DirectDriveAs stated above, it's the difference in Forum Culture.
On the other forum, when you're in the Glock section and post about anything other than Glock you will get admonished and your thread/post is moved.
Even non-OEM modifications are frowned upon.
It's entertaining at times.

YooperSigsWhere else on the intergoogle can you discuss (and learn about) all manner of firearms without fear?
Only Sig Forum.

Yep. Thanks to Para, this is a civilized forum unlike some others.

cslingerCuz most of us are GUN folks....NOT SIG folks.
Hell if it has a trigger, that when pressed expels a projectile safely and fairly accurately......I am sold.

I would venture more then a few of us here have everything from SIGs, to Glocks to CZs, to....to....to.....to.......to...nail guns.

Besides like I have always said. Whether or not you personally like Glocks or whether or not they work for you or not (which is totally fine) if you are intellectually honest with yourself you have to admit they are fantastic guns. I mean I am not a Glock fanatic by any stretch but damn if they are not a great gun.
