I hate Glocks

[SharedShots]

It does have a big slide release lever, but I think those came on all the Gen 4's.



If a pistol NEEDS a manual, then it's hardly "perfection". Maybe it's a joke, like Perfection NV in Tremors?

I had to take it apart to put the threaded barrel in so I could shoot it with my silencer. You guys in kali are lucky that you don't have to worry about such things. Your legislature is really looking out for you.

If a pistol needs a manual, then that speaks more to the user than the pistol.

I am not a Glockster by any means, they are like many other things, there are the really good fine instruments and then there are the utility items, the tool box variety. To me, Glocks are the tool box kind, no matter how much you do to them, it's still just a Gock. Like the VW with the Porsche engine, it really isn't all that, just a something you have that is hammer reliable.

I recommend anyone who owns a gun read the owners manual at least once and go through the disassembly/assembly once following the written procedure. Then you aren't sitting there relying on what some TactiComOps674937 on YouGotTubed is saying.

Take HK roller locked guns. There is a right way, it works way and then there are those who just force things to work the wrong way and complain about how stupid a design they are. Once learned working on them becomes super easy.

Glocks are the same way. Learn them and don't blame the gun or the manufacturer when they did everything to show you how to properly disassemble and reassemble the gun.

Tired old saying but something about horses and water.

If I want to have a great time shooting, marvel at accuracy and such the last gun I'll take is a Glock, I don't throw hundreds and thousands into a Craftsman tool trying to make it a Knipitz. If If I need to deal with a SD/HD event or want something at hand for that hopefully never happening event, then I grab a Glock.

If you are confounded by a Glock, maybe guns aren't really the hobby for you...

What's that saying about Indian vs arrow?

Just sayin'.....

[SilveradoColt21]

Glocks are the simplest guns to take apart and put back together, if you're not sure maybe watch a Youtube video or something?

Sig does make a 13 round .45. P227 with one in the chamber.

And it was such a POS they quit making them.

[SILENT GUNMAN]

Maybe you should look into getting an FNX-45 Tactical. It's operation is more similar to your SIG, comes from the factory with a threaded barrel, and it holds 15+1 of .45ACP. The FDE version is on my short list.

I bet you took the shot bus to school ......

[sigstroker]

After you get the Glock back together, you can give a Ruger Mark I / II / III a try. Makes that Glock look like child's play.

BTDT, but I have a FM for it because I bought it new.

[Old4eyes]

I read the manual for the Ruger Mk xxx and it seemed like it was written in a different language. I then saw videos of field stripping on youtube, went back to the manuals and it was though I had been given special glasses and could now read them properly. Sometimes it just has to be described/shown in a different set of words.

Or

Get a bigger hammer.

LOLLLLLLL

[logix1229]

I got the stupid thing apart okay, the POS won't go back together. The slide gets stuck about 3/4 of the way on.

I'll take that POS off your hands.

[IVC]

Stuck slide - bigger hammer. It's like any other mechanical device.

[crufflers]

I actually did not recall a Glock manual, but I checked a few boxes and they all have sealed envelopes under the foam... true story, none of them are opened. Definitely not the only way to go, but I never cracked one and I have a stack of those Glocks cases. I'm sure I just watched You Tubes way back when I got my Gen3 22C and then they are all the same.

I lied. I just found a Gen4 41 case and the envelope was torn open, manual inside... didn't look familiar though. I probably opened it because of installing the backstraps... that was new to me.
