But she looks alright in the right light.I started off shooting a Glock and I shoot them really well I love them for more than just a few reasons. The main reason I love them is I understand how they work and how to repair them. I think a lot of people need to understand their weapons more and how to diagnose them and what better and easier handgun platform than a Glock to learn how to do just that. I for one like the stock Glock 5.5lb trigger and one of my favorite things about a Glock is the reset among other things. My post might have seemed like I was sippin the hateraid but I'm far from it I'm more of a fat chick fun to ride don't let your friends see you on one kind of guy

i like glocks because....
back in the very early 1990's when i first considered buying a gun, popular mechanics ran a cover story on the glock.....dont know if aynone is familiar with that article, but it pretty much sold me on the brand. g17 was my first gun, which i still have. the gun has multiple thousands of rounds thru it, the only problems have been from under-powered reloads i bought in the very beginning. i now have 3 glocks, 2 of which are 17ls, and i am really happy with them. i am just as happy with the 2 early 90s rossi revolvers i own, one a snubby in .38spl, the other a 4" bbl in .357 mag. would like to eventually add a g26 to the group, but cash is limited right now, so it will be awhile for that.

The problem is when many people think of polymer, they think of cheap, crappy, flimsy plastic parts that break easy. Now combine that idea with a few thousand psi in someone's hand and they get nervous. Then add in the myth that Glocks will KB if you look at them the wrong way, stir well and you have Glock hateraid.Comment

I have no problem with plastic guns! Yes my 1911's sometimes get jealous!

Just something about the feel of a steel gun makes me not like polymer guns. When people say the reason to get a glock is because of their reliability, yet my steel guns aren't unreliable, it makes a easy decision. I am not talking bad about glocks, just stating my personal preference.Originally posted by barrageComment

I enjoy my polymers. Wilson Combat KZ45 and HK45c. They been perfect without a hitch.Comment

I rented a Glock when they first came to the market and I really liked it better than any 9mm I previously shot. Last Sunday I tried a Glock 9mm at the range and still liked it better than any 9mm I have ever shot.California's politicians and unionized government employees are a crime gang that makes the Mexican drug cartels look like a Girl Scout Troop in comparison.Comment

I owned a USP Compact for about a year. I liked it. The magazine release took some getting used to, but it was not too difficult. Mine had the V1 trigger pack. So I could carry cocked and locked. Downside was that once in every 50 or so draws I would get a little to eager on the safety selector and push too far and decock the gun...thus defeating the purpose. Still, nice gun. USP's are arguably my 3rd favorite platform that have at least a years worth of training on. Some others sound great on paper, but until I get some serious trigger time on them the USP keeps it spot on my go to roster. Still like Glocks better, but in the DA/SA world the USP would be my first choice.
Some old pictures I dug up for USP lovers to enjoy...

I'm catching up on the entire thread right now (I stopped at post #3 when it first started) but yeah, that's how I feel most of the time. I wanted my first handgun to be anything but one of those haha but I have much respect for them. My cousin's Glock 23 was the first handgun I'd ever shot and the angle didn't bother me, I like how his gun feels and how it looks. I still think most of the full sized ones are ugly as sin
As far as my next semi-auto goes, I'm looking at the..smaller version of a Glock 19, Ruger SR9c and S&W M&P9c for a future CCW type handgun.

I think the Glocks have gotten better looking in recent years. My Glock 17 is a Gen2 and is definately not pretty. No where near as pretty as my 1911. But looks are not why I own it, shoot it, or love it. In addition to all the reasons I said before, she has history. She is a Washington State Trooper trade-in. Picked her up for a steal when I had next to nothing in the budget and needed a fun project gun. Was in considerably better shape than I thought. Carried lots, shot little.I'm catching up on the entire thread right now (I stopped at post #3 when it first started) but yeah, that's how I feel most of the time.

If you are truly planning on carrying it might want to consider the baby Glocks like the Glock 26. It is easier to conceal with less clothing. I can conceal my Glock 17 in the winter. Come summer time on a 104 day, that t-shirt needs to be pretty darn baggy. I have the same problem with a Glock 19. Mostly the length of the grip is an issue. It is print happy. But it definately can be done. You just have to be concious about how you dress.
However, if you only occassionaly plan to carry and will be shooting it often, then the midsize gun makes sense to me. Easier to control. Fatigue sets in slower so less of a chance of limp wristing half way through a four day course, etc.

[QUOTE=Briancnelson;
On the other hand, some Glock fans I can do without. Any thread on any polymer gun gets crapped up with "buy a Glock instead, everything else sucks". Which is why some people get irritated enough to bash Glocks, more because of the fans than the gun.
