First Handgun - Going Glock

[WeiseGuy]

Once you go Glock....


You'll never clean any of your other guns and be all like "Pssh, my Glock don't need no cleaning"

Do we now need to set up a "once you go glock...." thread?

Glock 17

Better find one soon. I just popped into the Glock store today to chit chat. Word is their backlog is now about one million hand guns and two million magazines. Maybe 9 months for any new orders.

Thats BS I ordered 4 magazines from them and they shipped within a week of my order. Just got them today.

Which glock store was that?

I would recommend that for your first Glock, it be a Glock 19. Down the road, you will own the 26, but you should get the 19 first. If you can learn to shoot a Glock 19 proficiently, you will have little trouble shooting any other handgun. I have experience with a lot of polymer handguns, and like the Ruger SR9 for example, they just lack a little something something.. either they start cracking in weird areas, or the trigger pull just ain't right, or maybe it's the reset.. whatever it is, the Glock 19 is the s***. It just runs & runs, eats up whatever, has the best trigger (my opinion, of course), and if something ever does happen to break.. it's usually a three dollar part that's widely available. Glock 19, man.

Thanks Tal3nt, but I've actually decided to go with the Glock 23. Started buying mags/ammo already, just waiting for the gun to be in stock at a local store (about a week or two).

[tal3nt]

Not a bad choice either! And you can always get a conversion barrel for 9MM. Sorry, I don't know if all that has been discussed already...

I think we do.

http://www.glockstore.com/ They have a store in San Diego. The guy I quoted lives in San Diego.

Oh wow, okay cool. Might get some 9mm mags from them if/when I get a barrel

remember....once you go glock.......................................






















...you still want a 1911. get the 19.

Haha...... I went 1911's then a Glock... Want more 1911s but wouldn't mind a few more Glocks.

OP if this is your first handgun, why do you like the reliability of Glocks? It would seem you don't have any basis for comparison, so I don't think that should factor into your decision.

Most modern semi automatic handguns are highly reliable with quality ammo.

If you want reliable, get a revolver.

I was in the army and my job allowed me to choose my sidearm of choice.
