Why do people fan boy over glock sooo fucking hard. This happened just a bit ago.

they're just standardized among LE and Civilians, are well known and have a pretty good track record.

Its sort of like back in the day when every veteran swore by the fuddy five.

Because the 19 is the new IT gun. The one for popular kids to have. When you hear teens who know nothing about guns absolutely brag on the merits of the 19 over all other guns you know it's a passing fancy. Its merely a meh pistol. Not great and not shitty. Kinda like modern restaurants that make bland good so the largest amount of people will be repeat customers. No strong tastes so the least amount of people will be turned off by something they serve.

For me it's the comparability and availability of parts and accessories. I mean even magpul is making glock mags now although I have no idea how good or bad they are.

Basically every major sight company that produces handgun sights makes sights for them, lights, lasers, grips, the list goes on and on and on.

And because they're so prevalent they're great for shtf fantasies just like ARs because of the parts compatability.

tl;dr: they're not the greatest but they're good, inexpensive, and have all the mid life crisis toys you could want to add to it available for purchase.

The Glock 19 is literally a gun you cannot go wrong with. Trying to convince someone to get one just because "X uses it!" is bullshit and the 19 has merits of its own.

If I had to tell a noguns to buy a 9mm handgun for his first gun without explaining to him what to look for like ergos, weight and whatever, I would recommend a Glock 19 over anything else.

I'll probably swipe one for myself when I see a Gen 3 trade in for $350-$400

It's that mental condition that makes you believe YOUR product is superior to everyone elses. I can't recall what it's called atm, but everyone goes through it. That's why you see people argue over PC and Mac, Playstation over Xbox, etc.

I will say that the fan boys are pretty bad. Like, Pewdiepie levels of bad. It's a fine gun, but not my favorite.

People seem to forget that Glock pioneered many of the features we now consider normal or standard. A lot of respect is paid to those who have a different idea and prove to the world that that idea is good.

The difference is you don't have the urge to call someone a faggot and scream about how all the top elite use your pistol when someone prefers a pistol different from yours.

Just as good and I got it for $300 and it's barely been shot, parts are a little harder to find but I don't really care. Not paying $500-$600 for just another striker-fired pistol when there are other options for cheaper.

>nb4 parts cheaper, hexagonal barreled, melonite finish, ergonomics etc.

Last time I checked they were carrying the p229 dak. Because it's the DHS standard side arm or something.

Since I'm getting ready to buy my first cc pistol, this seems like a good thread to hijack.

I'm thinking of getting either a G19, G43, an M&P 9c or an XDS. There's a range I'll be going to next weekend that has all of those available for rent, but is there anything else I should be adding to that list to try out?

Fanboyism?

If you were writing a psych paper you'd probaby use "choice supportive" bias, and maybe "belief perseverance", but it is the same shit.

This has gotten stronger now that the web has connecting with other people and influencing the easier. A guy decides he likes James Yeager's youtube channel and defends it on web forums. He is now invested in Yeager. Yeager says buy a Glock, so rather than admit that could be wrong or maybe is a total fucknut, which would mean the guy made a mistake in liking him, he buys a Glock and tells everyone they should too.

Pls. I don't even hate Glocks, but they are the Toyota Camry of gun. They are not a 'gun person's gun. They are a "I guess I have to buy a gun" gun.

"Glock: It's what they had in stock"
