Glock Gripes

[doggie]

Yep, just like telephones with a cord and printed news papers.

Tell that to the 1911 and revolver guys.
By the way, ARs have hammers.

not ugly. CZ's are ugly.

If you think CZs are ugly and Glocks look good I question your asthetics.

From a man who carries a G19, shoots a G19 in matches, classes, and owns a bunch of them.

CZ 75s look very pleasing to the eye.

The "fit" is when it doesn't match what people are used to.
The Glock grip angle is shallower than the 1911 and XD. This puts the bore axis more in line with the wrist, IMHO, a good thing because it helps to control recoil.

But for someone who has spent their entire life training with the 1911/92FS/CZ/XD, it takes an adjustment to their grip to hit the target.... their ingrained grip is going to have the Glock shoot high.

I will never understand. CZ's are ugly to me. They look like one of those German Schnauzer dogs...I also think of camels, llamas, goats...basically any ugly animal.

I agree, but with a little practice it become a non-issue, at least in my case.

This is truth.

I can shoot good groups with anything at the range however on a timer and out of holster for speed and accuracy, i shoot everthing but Glock low (because 90% of my rounds go through a G19).

So while it is true that anything can be shot well, guns not used to glocks will shoot high when the guns are run for speed.

Did you spend 30 years working for the LAPD shooting the 92FS?

Old habits can be hard to break.

Likewise, one who shoots several different guns, each with a different grip angle, safety, and trigger is truly a master of none of them.
If you are compensating, then you are compromising.

Glock slides look like Blocks of wood. You must like basic shapes.

[lawj11]

Glock slides are simple and elegant looking. The Frames can be a bit nicer, but I love the slides.

Don't know what to say if you find these ugly...

Personally I find the G19 somewhat ugly and not very exciting. That said I shoot extremely well with it and love the size to firepower ratio. The G19 is my favorite firearm

Tusche, but I think a good marksman should be able to learn to shoot any weapon effectively. I bet jerry miculek can pick up your 92fs, practice for 30 minutes and then outshoot you with it.

Those look like glossy tasers. Why are the slides so anemic, how do you rack that thing? I also prefer brunettes over blonds so I may be weird.

Little different. That is like saying Lebron could learn (whatever sport you have done your whole life) and be better than you within a day.

Jerry is a special breed and all he does is shoot. For everyone else pick something and stay with it.

Also keep in mind non timed/non moving range shooting is easy with any gun as long as you can handle the recoil and not flinch.

You mean "redundant"

No rookie, you misheard the pimp. It's an oxymoron. Consider school to be in session!!!!
