Glock pro's cons ?'s

[NorCalK9.com]

Ok so i've shot glocks before, sig p226's, springfield xd's stoeger 8000, and many other semi auto pistols. I'm thinking of trading my s308 for a glock26 or just buying one from a fellow calgunner
With that said i see alot of people dont like glocks.. Why?
Is it like the AK47/74 vs gayR thing? Lol
My experience with semi auto pistols is very limited more of a rifle guy, so whats the pros n cons of the glock26?
Thanks in advance for any input.
And reliability trumps all in my book.

Pros:
lots

Cons:
everyone and their grandma has one

[Ackrite]

Too many pros to list. But most of all is their customer service which I've experienced first hand. Some people would list the lack of a manual external safety as a con, but I actually count that as a pro.

Buy one, Glock's are the Ak 47's of the pistol world. A lot of people hate on it but nobody can deny their unmatched reliability.

[glock20od]

Pros: I will keep it simple,they are easy to operate and they always go bang which could possibly save your life some day.

Cons They are ugly!

Also I train with private security contractors that know there stuff.Its funny because every time I meet up with them they have there ak-47's and glocks ready to go.Something to think about......

What would a Glock thread be without some good ol' fashioned anti-Glock trolling?

[vintagearms]

There is no con in my book, and I dont think they are ugly. Teething issues on Gen 4's ? Sure. Once they lower the ejection port a bit and tweak the extractor, they run 100% like the other gens.

[glock20od]

Yes and most likely they will buy one someday if they don't already have one!Lol!!!!!

???

i own a glock and can say from personal experience that they have horrible ergos, that they blow up, that there is no external safety, and they are cheap.

i dont think anyone could argue those points. i think its also fair to say that many people turn into fan boys and think that glocks are the greatest hand guns to own despite their obvious flaws.
