glock hating? What does everyone have against polymer?

[infernl]

Although Jonn Browning has been gone many years Glock is not even a pimple on his ***** .

And more opinion, having nothing to do with anything...

Most people who buy Glock hear it from others...Spreads. It is a great gun do not get me wrong. I hate it too...However, most of the people who buy it did not try other guns as well. I shot a glock in 9mm and 45...Absolutely terrible gun in my hands. FNP-9 and M&P 45 were better shooters in my hand. Thus I cannot ever recommend a glock based on my experience. I will recommend a 1911 because those things are just crazy accurate and a pleasure to shoot. I will also recommend the M&P series and FNPs...I also like Rugers P series, M9/ 92FS, and Kimbers...glocks don't work for me and you should never buy a gun just because a bunch of internet guys are telling you it is the end all do all. Instead do your research and get opinions from those that have shot the gun you are looking for...Also someone who safe queens a glock or a gun for that matter is someone you should not take advice from. Get yourself to a range and open your mind to other makes. In the end though, put a glock side by side with a 1911 or m9/ 92 series and you will see it is the ugliest gun out there that sells to tons to fanboys. Keep it real ladies.

No hate for the pistol itself, or the users in general.

It's just that the G**** fanboiz get really annoying when they jump into every single thread with "You should get a G****!" regardless the topic. I swear you could ask "Which .22 revolver should I get?" and somebody's gonna chime in with "You should save a bit more an get a G****."

FWIW some of the high end 1911 and Dillon fanbois can be the same way.

I only had one gun I own FTF...my glock 17. The striker channel can and does get filty and than the gun can have light strikes, so enough about how reliable they are, they simply AREN'T that reliable.

And they gotta have the worst trigger in the world, besides a Taurus Millenium that is.

Never had one light strike running my G21 in over 100,000 rounds, and only completely cleaned it twice a year. You had an ammo problem, not a Glock problem.

I keep reading forums where everyone is going back and forth hating on glocks? Whats the deal? It goes bang.. I am not a huge glock fan, for polymer I prefer my xd, but Its still A great gun and it shoots. I have shot plenty and they are great. Its even easier to clean than my 1911, which I love by the way. whats the deal?

Please no replies that will piss people off, only funny posts and informative becasue I really am confused.

I own 3 Glocks. Issued one too.
If You need a handgun as WEAPON, Glock is great.
I do have a soft spot for my HK's too......

All the stupid *****ing about polymer vs steel..the proper thing to do is just own both! Duh!

I own a G34 and I also own an STI 2011. I love 'em both!

The general people hate on the original (thus Glock) since the competitors only imitate.

Polymer in general looks and feels cheap. Maybe if they put some kind of coating or finish over the polymer, it wouldn't look and feel so bad. And as far as why I don't like Glocks, they're ugly and the squarish grip doesn't feel comfortable in my hands.

People have far too much emotional investment in product choices.

Exactly. I wonder how many actually shoot their guns anyway.

It wasn't until after I got my Glock 19 that I started reading references to Glock and Tupperware. That got me thinking, so I thought I'd do some myth busting. Tried loading some carrots into my 19 and put it in the fridge. The carrots didn't stay fresh and crispy, so I ain't buying the Tupperware business! Nope.

I have a few poymer guns (not just Glocks), love those firearms. I also own an alloy frame gun. Love that one too.

And there you have it.

99.9% of all the above posts can be and should be amended to include the words "In my opinion..."

There's no 'best' handgun for everyone; preference is entirely subjective.
