Glock questions..

[CK_32]

No, you're safe in your decision. How can you be sure it's the right gun if you haven't shot one? Go to the range and rent one and see what you think. And then for comparison, rent a Sig P220 and then laugh at the trigger on the Glock.

If you want a reliable, cheap, easy to work on handgun, the Glock is it. However, they don't shoot well for everyone, and they're ugly. Personally, I wouldn't get hung up on the .45 round. I'd go to the range and rent several guns in different calibers until I found what I liked. If you want to make it fair, just go rent a Glock 17, 21, and 22 to start and see what feels good. Then you can expand on that caliber you like into different platforms.

I have shot a Glock before Not sure what model or what caliber it was. And I dont mind the look of the Glocks.. I actually like them..

Also I want the .45 ACP for the stopping power.. but I do really wanna look at the 9mm for plinking prices.. But I want to know if I do have a HD situation I can but the MF down. Im considering maybe 2 1 in 9mm and 1 in 45 but at the same time I dont need 2 hand guns and if I only use my 9mm and have to use my 45 one day Ill only be use to the 9mm and be thrown off or not ready to use to 45 in a stress situation.

And I don't want to spend over $600 on a hand gun. Sorry. Just not going to happen.

the most reliable glock is the glock17. If I want a 45, I go for a 1911 or S&W m&p. So for me is a glock 9mm and 1911 45acp.

My buddy has a Kimber 1911 and his jammed all the time.. And Im not looking to drop $800 to $1500 on a pistol.

I know the model numbers for Glock are kinda confusing to say the least. I totally agree with you that all Glocks look about the same The Glock family is black and blocky. But the G21 and the G20 are on the biggest frame. Its a hefty gun. The 19/22/23 is a smaller gun. The 26/27/33 even smaller. Looking at pictures doesn't help too much, having them in front of you and holding them is what you want to do. Case in point, the G29 sub compact is actually has a slide thats a little bit shorter and a little bit wider than a G19/23/32. But its a much heftier gun. You really don't understand that unless you can get your grubby mitts on 'em.

Also consider the G21 sf, basically almost the same gun with a slightly smaller grip on it. I would stay away from the G21sf with the ambidextrous magazine release models as they are problematic.

You may want to consider a G30/G30sf or G36 if you want a smaller model both are good choices.


I like to think that guns are like shoes, you need to find the one that fits you best. So I'd also consider: In that price range I would also recommend you check out the Springfield XD and the Smith and Wesson M&P models. Both are excellent choices. Good luck!

I think Im probably going to head down to the range and rent a few of them. And see how they fit.

Thanks for all the input guys.
