Glocks

[Marinos]

Went with a 10mm 1911 over a Glock 20.

Gimme a old Glock over any 1911. I want my gun to work and I do not trust a 1911 to do so when I need it. Seen too many 1911 failures. There is a reason that many LE Agencies and military units all use Glocks. They work.

LE uses glocks because they are cheap, not because they are the best. It's the year 2014 and there are several options out there for a reliable and accurate gun......no need to settle for a Glock.

Please feel free to list the gun(s) you feel are better for the price point, I'dl like to know as I don't like to settle.

I think you misunderstood my post. I never said anything about better, just that there are other guns in that price point that are as reliable and accurate.

M&P
PPQ
VP9
Steyr M9A1
FNX

I could keep going but that's a good start. They all have much better triggers then glocks and you can't honestly say glocks are anymore reliable.

I hated polymer frames, especially Glocks. Why buy a plastic Honda Civic, when you can buy a Cadillac? Then, I got into reading the science of how polymer breaks down, and realize it just doesn't. Why is there so much micro plastic in the ocean, versus steel? Science doesn't lie, fact's don't lie. Plus I can take my Glock in the shower, flush it down the toilet, dig it in dirt, lube it with bananas, etc, and it'll function just fine. I still dislike Glocks, it's plastic, but man plastic is useful...

As great as the Glock is, I prefer Sig. Don't get me wrong, I have 2 Glocks, but if Sig offered a 10mm I wouldn't have a need for my Glocks anymore. I shoot better with da/sa or dao triggers.

VP9 and to a lesser degree the PPQ just came out. How can you say they are just as reliable. The only one on that list that has seen any widespread adoption by any agency in this country is the M&P.

If agency purchases were dictated solely by price there are several options cheaper than a Glock yet some continue to pick the Glock amidst some very aggressive pricing and trade in programs from Sig and M&P.

Yes price is important. Reliability is more important.

Tell me if you find anything from your list besides the M&P here.

Glocks are proven over time over everything listed. There isn't a gun listed that is cheaper than that last 5 Glocks I'ver purchased, as I've never paid more then $500 for a Glock including Gen 4's.

I don't think Glock triggers are anything to write home about, but you press it, it goes bang. I think the whole perfect trigger thing is way over rated It's like riding a motorcycle, you can loose 20 lbs, or you bike can loose 20lbs. You get the point. I need reliability as well as capacity at a good price point. I get that with each Glock I've purchased.

Let's just agree to disagree.

Read "Glock: America's Gun" and you'll understand why so many agencies went with them. Hint, not that they're not, but it wasn't reliability. Very crafty outfit, tad dirty too.
