>>
>>31338865
but I have the more superior one, anon-- the g17
>>
LGS has new glocks for $729.00 just because they come in different colors. F that.
>>
I do have one though
>>
I had a G17 catastrophically fail while I was shooting it. Besides that, I just dislike almost every design choice. I'm old fashioned in the sense that I want a metal-framed DA/SA with a decocker, a manual safety, and ideally an exposed hammer. Basically, give me a P38/P1, 92FS, or CZ75. P38 being my personal favorite simply because I can shoot it well.

And of course, above all, I find Glocks painfully dull and boring. If I did own one it, it would be a chore to train with. Ifor you enjoy shooting a gun, you're far more likely to actually practice with it.

Failure to feed isn't a catastrophic fail. Still need to know anons story

Was thinking about getting a Glock 22 for my first gun when I turn 21, I'm 20 now but 21 is the legal age for a permit and CC license.

Good choice? I hear Glocks have outstanding reliability

Because I dont particularly care about high capacity, and love the feel and aesthetic of all-metal handguns. I carry this all day every day in a falcon summer comfort

I'm almost 1k rounds deep with 0 failures as well.

I might, someday do a 9mm SBR AR build that takes Glock mags and have a matching g19/17 to go with it as an SHTH/ fun pelican case combo. But that's after I finish nursing school.

Buddy's gun, don't remember what gen. He takes good care of his weapons but like to run +P, though I don't actually know if that was a factor.
Anyway, on the first shot, the slide came off the frame rails and beaned me in the face. I know a slide rail broke and some other bits probably did too, but I didn't get a good look. Just handed the pile of Glock back to my buddy and we never really spoke of it again.

In any case, I don't have a problem with Glocks. Plenty of people like them, and that's fine. I just personally really don't like them.

I wouldn't say "best handgun ever created" but IMO the Glock 19 is easily one of the best all around pistols ever made, ever, by anyone.

>Mid sized pistol
>easy to carry and conceal for most body types
>short enough barrel to make carrying comfortable
>long enough barrel to have decent sight radius
>excellent trigger
>no manual safety
>reliable
>rail for light if you want it
>rail is small and almost unnoticeable if you don't use it, unlike many pistols with big goofy rails
>accurate
>low recoil
>full capacity magazine without being XBAWK HUGE
>1 size fits all grip
>easy to clean
>easy to modify
>endless options for custom parts, sights, etc.
>endless options for holsters, etc.
>good price point

my only complaint is that it's ugly, but I don't own a Glock 19 to look cool. I have it because it's great for open carry on my duty rig, concealed carry after hours, a perfect beside gun, excellent training pistol and camping gun.

I own may other pistols, for a variety of reasons, some because I just like how they look. But this pistol I own because it's like that old hammer out in the garage - it aint pretty but it always gets the job done.

Is the Glock 17 not? I'll be honest, I know nothing about the minutia of Glocks.

In any case, the round that actually did it in was a 115gr WWB FMJ bullet. Not to say that damage couldn't have been preexisting, obviously.

The police in my county advised against using glocks on the news due to a firing pin issues.

Can't decide between 1911 or CZ
>>
>>31342171
CZ75 is preferable as long as you get a good-quality one. The 1911 is the definition of a meme gun, even more than the Glock. If you really want an original Browning design, just get a Hi-Power. It's a 1911 with most of the major issues fixed.
>>
>>31342241
Wuts wrong with the .45 acp?
>>
>>31338865
I own four of them, three bought on the blue label program.
>>
>>31342311

It's not 9mm
>>
>>31338865

I do. As well as a 17 and 26.

26 is perfect for hot as fuck weather for when you want shorts and shirt.

19 is perfect for when I got a button up for an over shirt, or a lite jacket.

17 for winter carry.

This all changes though, based on how I'm carrying. It was super nice today, so I went with 17 in appendix carry.
>>
>>31342241

The Hi-Power was designed to avoid 1911 patents and meet French military requirements, not to 'improve' on the design.
>>
>>31338865

Thanks. It's a Springfield Armory compact range officer. It's a 4" 1911 with an aluminum lower and titanium feed ramp insert. It also has a bushing-less bull barrel and a lot of other features that you'd find on an expensive 1911, but with a sub $800 price tag. Love it to pieces.

Shot a glock and own a cz75B

Liked the cz better because i shot better groups but i have to admit that compared to the cz's factory trigger the glocks trigger is crisp

I now have a matchtrigger on my cz and love it

But i will still buy a glock because i like how they look

Question for people who own a Glock 23 and is shooting both 9/40. But first muh range story...

>bought a LW 9mm barrel
>they recommend swapping out the ejector as well
>okay did both of that
>go out and shoot
>no problems shooting 9mm
>wanted to try my defensive rounds as well
>swap barrel back to 40SW
>shoots fine no problem
>when I came home I realized I forgot the swap the ejector back to 40SW
>next day
>went to shoot some left over Freedom Munitions 40SW because people say they are dangerous
>150 rounds later no problems at all
>notice it ejects at 3 O'Clock instead of 4-5 O'Clock
So this thing kinda ejects better shooting 40sw with a 9mm ejector. Can I damage the gun if I continue to use the 9mm ejector? I don't give a shit about warranty because its a $450 gun so what do you guys think? Should I keep the 9mm ejector or should I changed it back to 40SW ejector when I shoot 40s?
>>
Because i hear DD stamps take forever to process.

Glocks are +p rated, and even if they weren't, that just makes them worse.

Glock slides do not fly backward in the case of slide rail failure and/or slide lock spring breaking. Even a double-load couldn't do that shit fuckboi.
