My First Glock (Pic Added)

They are block ugly but simply functional.

It's not just asthetics for me, the Gen 3's grips are too blocky for my hands. I bought the Gen 4 and it's an improvement. The XD(not S or M), M&P and 1911 feels so much better in my hand. I don't CCW so really dont care for a poly frame or alloy frame for that matter. Sold all my poly guns except the G19 G4 which I'm trying to trade for a CZ SP01.

Great, Now buy my parts! Just kidding. Congrats on your new Glock! Took me awhile to get one too and it also took awhile before I got rid of it. I swapped it for another pistol because I got tired of it from working. It would not fail me and I needed something I can break and fix.

Lol,

Congrats, I need me one too!

Glock 22 was my first as well, then came the 17 OD, 17 FDE, 19, 26, 34, 21 FDE.

For the last two years I've been telling myself I'm not a Glock guy.
But when I saw this Gen4 G22 in FDE at my LGS, I knew it was time.
I got a great deal on it because I paid cash. ($575)
I am now looking forward to simplicity, reliability, and great parts support.

The Dark Side isn't so bad.

I felt the same way. I shot them well enough, but didn't care for the ergonomics. The grip was uncomfortable and bulky. Then after shooting a friends Gen4 17 my opinion changed. Having the modular backstrap sold me. Now I own a Gen4 17 and recently picked up a 30SF. The availability of OEM and aftermarket parts is nice as well.

I want a 19 FDE so bad... the FDE models are a real nice balanced colorway IMO..

Nice pick up OP.

I see your point about the Gen 3's. They either work for your hands or they don't. A common complaint I hear about Glocks is the bottom of the finger guard rubbing against their finger. My wife also seems to suffer from this problem.
The SP01 is a shooting jewel. I got tired of looking for a new SPO1 in the south bay, so I purchased the Sig P239. I don't like buying "blind" used firearms for fear of inheriting someones problem child. If I buy from a friend, knowing the guns history, I don't consider that a blind buy.

That's why there's the market place. You no like? Someone else like and will buy! Haha.

Awesome, congrats!

Love my G22.
