I concur with that statement, fellow Glock lover. I bet you are also a fan of fine Bethesda gaming software.

I'm not a glock lover but they're fine pistols. I'm just wondering how they got to be so common in America. You would think a Berretta 92fs or 1911 would be more common

It does everything well and nothing great. It adequately fills all rolls. If you want something that excels at something more specific then there are other choices of handguns. If you want something that works well with everything you go Glock.

>>32794345
A Glock is the perfect gun for someone who knows little or nothing about guns.

It's a normie magnet

What handguns are more reliable than Glock brand Glocks? That's the main concern for people getting carry handguns.

Also
>got there first

In fact I think that's the most important. Kinda like when Xbox 360 Punked PS3 by releasing first.

some people either just don't care or are just that stupid.

Glock 19 was the first handgun i bought, like many people. I carried it for about 5 years until I went smaller and now I carry a 42.

The 19 always comes to the range though. I have somewhere between 4-5 thousand rounds through it. It just works for me. It has utilitarian beauty

"better" is subjective, and regardless I'm not arguing anything is bad about glocks. I use an alternative companies tupperware simply for a more traditional grip angle, no need to mention the brand because then we will have a brand war.

Now I'm picturing an obese man pulling various Glocks out of his many fat rolls.

This. The Gluck is a plastic 9 that is made about tard-proof as possible and still be regarded as a firearm.

Nah, one of the best things about glocks is that you basically don't have to clean them and they'll work. Kinda like with AK's.

Except for when they fail and you realize you should have done preventative maintenance.

>>32795939
no. the glock is ergonomic, modular and with the MOS shit set up for the next step in handgun evolution. just like the AR. the AK is a dead end for customization. the AK is an iron sights rifle.

only if your ideal ergo is holding a giant plastic dildo

fuck off and stay fucked off.

Because most people are tiny handed faggots who can't work a safety on a handgun.

It is an inexpensive and low-effort solution to most perceived handgun needs.

>>32794345
You can get halfway to a six digit round count without expecting to have to clean it or replace parts.
It was pretty much the only kid on the block at the time.
All of its competition wastes a fuck ton of height, looking at you Sig Sauer.
