Are glocks still relevant?

>what advantages does the glock have over these other guns?

it works, pure and simple.

It's the Coca-Cola of the firearms world.

Sure Coke is alright and readily available everywhere, but there's definitely better drinks out there if you're willing to look.

A rampant flamboyant loud fanbase that will shill for them and defend their shortcomings as positives (lol trigger safety)

If my life were on the line I'd only trust a Glock or a revolver. They just work, period.

>>32379153

I just like them. You know what's eventually outdated and overpriced? Everything. There are plenty of pistols and it's really kind of hard to buy a bad one. If you like it and you shoot it well then great. If not look at the alternatives.

I'd say if you like what you're shooting and shoot it well that's the only advantage that counts.

yeah I know. That's been my experience with it. It works. I'll shoot it and once I apply the right grip most of the bullets will hit the target (and I'm a fucking garbage marksman as you can see here) and it's easy to use.

But don't these others guns also work?

>>32379153
>Still relevant
Yes.

>Reason to get one
You want one.

>advantages
Pretty massive aftermarket. You can get a holster for pretty much any configuration of a glock without resorting to those shitty "one-size-fits-all" holsters. That's just an example.

If you really want another handgun just go and buy one you like. It's absolutely that simple.

OK I know that they "just work" but what makes them work better than the guns I listed?

Anything?

Yeah I can shoot my glock fine, yeah I trust my life to it and like the fact that if I were to have to use it, it would do what it needed to do, but what actual advantages does it have over it's many competitors, many of which are much more reasonably priced. I shoot my glock a lot, but I don't really love shooting it as much as my other guns. The trigger sucks (I do plan on doing a cheap trigger job on it, the one that makes it just as heavy but more consistent), the stock sights are annoying, and the ergos feel like they weren't designed for a human hand. It doesn't slip into your hand the way a 1911 or a Hi power does, your hand has to warm up to it.

I have to try out one of these FNs some time. They look sexy as fuck

>>32379153
They're like iPhones.
They were king once, but now there's better options. Everyone knows there are better options, but most still go for them, and there's a huge aftermarket for them.

>>32379153
>i got 2 extra mags and a case bro
2 cheap mags and a generic case are nothing to be proud of

>i got more ammo with what i saved
Big deal
unless youre stockpiling then its literally irrelevant

>glock has a shitty stock trigger/sights
subjective and nowadays they come stock with better everything

>its all the same thing so just get the cheaper one
with that attitude then everyone should just be as cheap as possible and get a kel tec or a hi point. But fortunately people like nice things that work all the time

You made the right decision.
The interchangable mags, aftermarket, ubiquity make it very worth it in a sea of polymer strikers.

I never said anything about grenades lol. I'm just wondering what makes Glocks better than the M&P, SR9, FN9, PPQ, and the CZ P-10? and so far I haven't gotten an answer other than "it just werks"

Ok, WHAT on it works better than those other guns?

The only people who buy Glocks are artesians who practice gunmanship.

I don't really like Glocks that much, but I CAN customize the ever loving shit out of them. Kind of a result of Glocks being so popular I guess.

Customizability is a big thing for me when I'm trying to shoot competitively.

>>32379153
I've never shot a gun in my life, but I feel like shit is getting too crazy. I am going to get professional training and take classes. I want to know what handguns I should look at purchasing, given my situation.

I live in a Midwest state with very pro 2nd amendment gun laws.

I have shot quite a few different manufacturers handguns. I am gonna be buying some glocks in the near future. Like other people said, they just work. The aftermarket for them is just insane. That being said, I shot a G34 the other day, and I absolutely loved it. It was accurate, reliable and just fun to shoot.

Sure, I still have my HKs, Springfields and a couple others. But why limit yourself to just 1 when you can have a few?

Well i didn't want to make a whole new thread for my question, and didn't realize until after replying that i was in a bait thread

>>32379624
Make your own thread lol. It's ok. Really.

>>32379569
Lol you sound like me a few months ago. You don't need professional training to get into guns. Watch some videos on gun safety most importantly. If you are poor as fuck get a Zastava M70A or a Bulgarian Makarov. Honestly though I reccomend saving up about 500 dollars. That will give you a fuckton of options and you can pick pretty much any frame you want, in which case pick the one that feels best to you

>>32379153
Some people just want to carry a gun that's reliable

>>32379468
Glock has less safeties to release before use than other guns. It only has the one on the trigger and it remains drop safe to this day.

Glock has been around longer, is easier to find and sell, easy to find mags for, easy to find the right size and caliber for different people/jobs, easy to maintain (assemble/disassemble), has a huge following (yes, its a plus), interchangable mags on almost every model, an enormous aftermarket of custom and improved parts, and its more reliable than some polymers like the VP9 (jamsin water) and a CZ (poor quality steel).

If you want to feel like a special snowflake and own something different then do it. Don't let anonymous stop you.

>>32379153
>I own a glock 19 and I'm going through some buyers remorse

What? The only two handguns I touch anymore are my Glock 19 and my P2000. I'm getting ready to sell my Legion P226 and keep my Glock and HK.

Quit being one of those retards who actually thinks the grass is greener on the other side.

I too struggle with having a Glock as my HD/CC when so many sexier options are flooding the market. The grass is always greener on the other side, anon, but sometimes a boring and plain gun to do the important things with is best.
