Glock sucks

[Cali-Glock]

Yeah - I agree Glocks suck, that is why I have three of them listed on my CCW. :-)

yeah i heard the same...i heard it's mainly the 9mm gen 4 that had the problem..i wanna get a g23 so i don't accidentally make a mistake and put a 9mm in the g22 since i have a g17 lol...

I hate to say it, but if you are seriously concerned about mixing up a G22 and G17, you have bigger issues. :-)

I'm thinking of getting a Gen 4 G19. If it needs it, is the ejector replacement hard? I have disassembled/reassembled 1911s to frame before.

Its literally a 5 minute fix. Remove the pin on the grip holding the trigger housing, lift it up. On the back side of the ejectr your going to find a hole. Push a small screwdriver just a little bit threw the hole while pulling out the ejector. Install in reverse order.

Keep in mind that there is a large bias opinion about glocks being so great and I have noticed it ever since I joined calguns

You do realize that virtually all opinions are biased? Including your opinion that Glocks aren't so great.

however the OP suggested that they were faulty and now the new gen. is better.

Wrong. He is posting about the same generation.

Thought I'd tell people that I just bought a Gen 4 G17 and I think Glock has finally resolved the issues with the Gen fours ...

You stated that people own them because glocks work - simple.

It is simple. They do work ... and work ... and work ... and work ...

However, the OP stated that many problems were fixed.

Many problems?

So which is it? Glocks did suck and now they dont????? OK.

Glocks didn't suck and now they don't. OK?

Oh and I think the movie Die Hard has something to do with the hype.

All of this referencing "popular culture" seems like a bit of projection.

I did not mean to offend anyone.

No one is offended. It's called a discussion.

Bottom line is: "Shoot what you luv, and don't mess with other folks." But, I still won't buy an ugly, plastic gun with no hammer!!!

I view my Glock as a Honda Civic/Toyota Camry (boring but reliable). On the other hand, my semi custom 1911s are like hot rods (fun and flashy). I'm not passionate about Glocks. I bought one as a beater gun so I don't have to worry about abusing it. It works even if I don't clean it or lube it. But I don't think there's anything special about it. An XD or M&P does the same thing but I bought the Glock because I found a good deal on it. It's just another gun to me.

I agree with the title of the post. Glocks are overrated!

[Dhena81]

A handgun isn't a precision instrument so how can one be overrated over the other is it the cost? the ergonomics? the machining? the cool factor? the amount of aftermarket support? the longevity?

I don't understand how a $600 dollar handgun that is bet your life reliable and accurate be overrated.
