glock hating? What does everyone have against polymer?

[oldsw20]

I like Glocks too, but my first gun will be a Beretta 92FS M9.

Eef, yeah I guess they got better looking gen3 & up haha. My cousin's 23 is a gen. 3.

I saw all 3 of the guns I mentioned at the gunshow this past Sunday. They seem like the perfect size for inside the waistband. I'm sure I saw the Glock 26, the grip looked tiny without a magazine in it. I think my FNP-9 is around the size of a 19, probably wouldn't be bad with a jacket over it but I don't own a holster so who knows.

Hey! Where did you get that picture of my mother-in-law????

Just because some people are not so hot on Glocks doesn't mean they don't like polymers. Maybe you jumped the gun on the assumption?

I can appreciate all guns but I definitely love my Glocks... they're just super reliable. <3

I don't hate Glocks. i hate polymer framed guns. I had a Ruger P345 and while it was a good gun it felt unbalanced. Most polymer guns I've shot feel unbalanced to me. And ive shot Glocks Rugers Smiths and a few others and none felt "right" to me. its probably just me since I never shot one for more than a few outings and it was simply because they felt "weird".

Ugly guns need lovin too.......just won't be from me.

Polymer doesn't have to be ugly

I felt the same way until I got some practical experience with one. Changed my outlook forever.

For carry polymer frame guns are nice because they are lighter. You'll notice most old retired law enforcement guys have really bad backs from all the gear they had to carry all those years on their duty belt. Granted the gun was only part of the problem. My point is, a lighter gun is a bonus if you have to lug it around all day long. As much as I love my 1911, it has a steel frame and is heavy as a ton of brings. Not the most comfortable gun to carry weight wise.

Yeah M&P and XD-M's are prettier more refined versions of the Glock.

Nope, just responding with curiosity to 2 posts in a row filled with haterade that I read. Plus my question wasn't "Am I jumping the gun and assuming?" was it..

I dont hate on glocks. I just dislike SOME of the owners. People there NOT gods gift to handgun enthusiasts. There kinda like apple people (please see signature) or people who drive priuses.

[Sturnovik]

I love them, just wish they gave the option for no finger Grooves. They fit just fine, but without them it'd fit better. Still love my Gen 3, I'll never sell it.

[five.five-six]

I think some of it might be some of the over-zealous owners (some are gone from here) with their automatic responses "get a Glock" on threads about other guns.. I dunno.

Glocks are extremely reliable, shoot straight. I have nothing against them, just prefer other guns.

On the other hand, you can badmouth the S&W Sigma all you want!!

^^ that, glocks are some of the best cheep guns out there.... but it's just a cheep gun, and the fan-boys get so excited if you refer to them as anything other than the greatest marvel of engineering mankind has ever known
