I don't understand why you wouldn't buy a glock. You'll argue that they're ugly tupperware guns, which I'll agree with to some extent.

But, they're damn reliable, laser accurate, and you won't give a shit if it ends up in an evidence locker.

of course

everyone into guns will be mobbed by glock peasants sooner or later

glock faggots still haven't realized that there are other polymer handguns on the market so the only thing they've ever used is a glock

>MUH GLOCK PERFECTION
>MUH GLOCK TRIGGER AINT SHIT IT'S ACTUALLY GREAT GUIS I'M NOT GOOD WHEN I SWITCH OVER TO A DIFFERENT GUN

well that's because u have conditioned yourself to use a shit gun u glock fanboi

I own a few purely becuase of how practical they are. I think they are actually good looking, I like a nice Beretta or HK or 1911 more in terms of aesthetics but you cant deny the practicality of glocks. Theyre more tools then funs to me though. I look at them like I do a pocket knife or a power tool. they do a job I need and thats it

Ive never found a glawk that wasnt physically painful for me to hold.
Like if i actually grip the fucker it hurts.
I like the idea of practicality first tho.
Was thinking about trying out the full size diamond back pistols...i carry the little pocket db9 and its uncomfortable and painful to shoot but thats to be expected from a mouse gun in full 9mm that weighs 11oz.

I have a Glock 26 and will probably get a 17 or 34 at some point, but that's because I just love blowing money on guns, but I'm starting to get over the whole "they're so practical."

Really are they that practical anymore? They're a polymer strike that sell new for in the $500-550 range.

The market is now full of polymer strikers that sell new in the $500-550 range. The market is full of full-sized SA/DA pistols that sell in the $550-650 range, which isn't that much more.

AND now the market is becoming full of polymer striker fired guns in the SUB-500 category. S&W M&P Shields are all almost $500 unless they're tricked out and you can find them on sale, for some models, as low as $320. The Beretta APX retail is $535 and it's street price is like $480-500

So once upon a time, I think the Glock was a pretty no-brainer choice. If you just wanted "a gun" or a 'a pistol' it made a lot of sense. No extra controls, not a ton of knowledge needed, very reasonably priced.

But now, the market has caught Glock and left them behind. Glock is doing nothing to expand or change the line while other companies innovate around them.

Glock only has name recognition now. When you break it down, there's not much that's all that compelling about them compared to other guns.

They've become like Apple. It's an idiot proof thing with a good name that doesn't perform as well as it's competitors, doesn't change, and costs a little too much for what it is.

If there's a pistol you like in a caliber different from your preferred one, get it, but there's no point to owning the exact same sort of pistol in a caliber that isn't effectively different from the other.

This, or abused to all fuck. Lost a glock 22 to police custody in fairly good condition, no obvious mars or rust) when I got it back there were scratches all over the slide and 2 fairly deep gouges in the polymer frame, rust formations in the action + slide, and the guide rod bent to where it was almost impossible to get the slide off with-out a hammer.

Most of the revolvers are fine, there semi auto pistols are hit and miss. People will buy the LCP rather than the LCP II simply because it is cheaper. in my honest opinion the LCP II is ten times better.
Ruger as a company does care about what they build.

It is more of a grip people refuse to save more money for better guns. And people also put weird qualities of importance on trivial things, example the SCCY pistol that are colored always out sell the plain black one. You can add $50 on a pink SCCY vs a plain one and the pink will be bought first.

No, because Glocks are thoroughly adequate.

Glock's future is going to look like Colt's present. They haven't made any innovations in years, are extremely slow to respond to new market trends despite being the biggest player in the market, and, going by the scandals they've had, their leadership is both corrupt and incompetent. All that has to happen for Glock to start circling the drain if they do not change their current course is for them to lose the confidence of the LE community.

>Putting a tourniquet on someone you shot
Without medical assistance (most instances of carry shooting and HD) a person is more likely to die from bleeding out when shot in the arm or leg than from getting shot in the torso.

If we're talking about police shootings, it's the same kind of story. Look up what happened on Feb 28, 1997 during the Bank of America incident. Cops shot one of them in the leg, and ambulances were held off because the scene could not be declared safe and he died ~1h later.
>>
>>33978437
So he died 1h later instead of immediately in case of a cns hit.

You're not making a good case for yourself, you know.
>>
>>33978447
You're less likely to hit the spine than you are to inflict a non-fatal torso wound.

This is common knowledge, are you newgunz or something?
>>
>>33978456
Yes, and you're more likely to hit a fatal torso wound than you are to hit a fatal leg wound.
>>
Glocks seem decent enough. As sort of a middle ground between available stuff they hit a good niche. I would love to have a 17 or 19 probably.
>>
>>33978462
>"However, areas of the lower trunk and upper thigh are rich with vascularity. A suspect who’s hit there can bleed out in seconds if one of the major arteries is severed, so again shooting just to wound may not result in just wounding."
>"if an officer manages to take a suspect’s legs out non-fatally, that still leaves the offender’s hands free to shoot. His ability to threaten lives hasn’t necessarily been stopped.”
>"“Successful” shots could be dangerous to people besides the suspect because of through-and-through penetration. Virtually every police round today is designed to penetrate heavy clothing and 10 to 12 inches of ballistic gel. Rounds with that capability will penetrate even the biggest arms and could, like misses, then travel on to hit unintended targets in the background."

>TLDR guns are deadly force, when applying them you should want the person to die
Sure, from a certain point of view. But shots to extremities are less lethal deadly force than shots to centre mass.

Shooting someone in the leg if he has a firearm may also be justifiable, if the police are behind good cover, and can reliably make the shot. Being hit in the leg may make the suspect reconsider his current course of action.
>>
>>33978529
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7e8gGXZDRY0
If you hit them in a major artery it can be less than a few minutes before they bleed out. You aren't going to die that quickly from a lower torso shot.

If an officer fires their weapon, they've gone beyond the point of warning. If an officer needs to fire his weapon to warn a suspect, that officer has already failed.

>If an officer fires their weapon, they've gone beyond the point of warning.
That's your doctrine speaking, it's not an objective truth.
>If an officer needs to fire his weapon to warn a suspect, that officer has already failed
Certainly from a certain point of view. There are scenarios however, where verbal communication has degraded to the point where the suspect can't or is not willing to understand, and the sound of a gunshot may send the message that next rounds go to the body. Also, consider that the suspect may not be able to see the weapons pointed at him.
>If you could give me a list of Pros/Cons or something to convince me that firing lethal weapons without lethal intent is good, I'd really appreciate it.
Sure. The gist of the idea is that firearms are merely steps in the force continuum. Yes, they're at the top, and should not be used until absolutely necessary, but at the same time, them being at the top doesn't mean that their use automatically equals lethal force. If there's a chance the suspect can be apprehended by firing a controlled shot at dirt or a tree or somewhere else with little risk of ricochet without having to actually put rounds on his body, why shouldn't it be at least tried? The same applies to shots to extremities.

There's a distinction between self-defense and use of force. Use of force is active, while self-defense is reactive. The idea is to use a sufficient amount of force so that the situation doesn't escalate to the point where you have to defend yourself. This also applies to firearms. If you have time and opportunity to end the suspect's activity by placing a shot on an extremity, you should take it.

Consider your options.

>OC spray
Requires close distance, may be ineffective, dangerous outdoors (wind)
>Baton
Requires even closer distance.
>Taser
May miss, slow to reload.
>L2L ammunition
May not be available.

Police are not there to defend themselves. If that were the case, they would not be there to begin with. They are there to enforce the law. I'm sure you understand the weight of such a distinction.

>>33979909
>Your doctrines would get your men and many others killed, anon.
Funny that it happens so rarely, then.
>Do your police fire uncontrolled shots at people?
Are you trying to twist my words? The point is that warning shots aren't haphazardly shot "somewhere", they are controlled so as to minimise the chance of ricochet.
>Police are not there to defend themselves. If that were the case, they would not be there to begin with. They are there to enforce the law. I'm sure you understand the weight of such a distinction.
The police have a right to self-defense just like everyone else. They're there to accomplish a mission, and try to do so by limiting the danger to public, themselves and the suspect. If someone directs an unlawful attack against them, they'll defend themselves. Self-defense is unplanned, reactive activity. Use of force is planned, has a goal, and is controlled.

Instead of asking "why use a warning shot when you can go for centre mass", you should be asking "why shoot someone when there are still options left to try?" The role of law enforcement is to apprehend suspects so that they may be lawfully judged by their peers. They aren't executioners.

This is slightly different for civillians, but still applicable.
>>
>>33980004
>Options left to try.
Just before you were talking about how all these other options (spray, dogs, etc) were untenable and that warning/wounding shots were superior. Now you imply otherwise. You can play games with your suspect in Europe because, in all likelihood, his weapon is a butterknife or a club. The role of law enforcement is to uphold order. They're not called the Suspect-Judiciary Conveyance Service.

>Just before you were talking about how all these other options (spray, dogs, etc) were untenable and that warning/wounding shots were superior. Now you imply otherwise.
Yes and no. It's a tool in the toolbox, and in some cases, it's the best tool for the job. In other cases, it may not be.
>You can play games with your suspect in Europe because, in all likelihood, his weapon is a butterknife or a club.
All suspects are taken seriously. If a weapon can be identified, it may ease the choosing of the specific tool. If the suspect is armed, and presenting an immediate danger to others, the best tool for the job may be shooting to stop.
>The role of law enforcement is to uphold order. They're not called the Suspect-Judiciary Conveyance Service.
They're both, actually.
>There you go, setting up to move the goalposts again.
Nope. From the beginning I've referred to it as a technique, and as a technique, its use is very much dependent on the circumstances. As a civillian, you're much more likely to end up in a case of self-defense rather than a situation where you need to use planned and controlled force. The basic idea is still the exact same.

I'm not sure what the basic idea is, to be perfectly honest with you. You seem to write a whole lot, but say very little. Try to keep it under 100 characters for my little brain

>>33980284
Haven't I already tried that?

They are tools, they may not work every time, they may not be the best option for every case, and sometimes, you're better off skipping them entirely. It all depends on the circumstances.

Do you understand this much?

>>33971502
I prefer the Springfield XDs, beretta 92 compact, fns, and p30 (H&K) over a glock.

i would prefer a Taurus Millenium too desu. Glocks just feel weird to me ergonomically, too fat to cc on me. The new single stacks feel ok though.
>>
>>33980255
>shoot to stop
Shoot to kill should be the only method for shooting a gun
>>
>>33980389
I would add the caveat that if i was issued a glock, i'd be content. Not overjoyed, but not dissapointed either. They are kinda the gold standard. There are better guns in some ways, some worse in others, but Glocks sit at a decent place overall imo.

>>33980460
It shows that it's a technique that works. Else the military would not use it.

Controlled warning shots are far less likely to cause harm than you think.

>>33980468
Which is why you don't shoot for limbs in a case of self-defense, because you're not going to hit. They're much better used when you have a firearm with a stock and preferably a stable platform to shoot off of.

Time, opportunity, and reasonable chance of success. You don't use a technique that isn't likely to work.

Yeah I guess that's why delta was using them up into the early part of the 2000's and some even later, or the FBI hostage rescue team, LAPD swat, marine force recon, etc
Yeah I guess those guys were retarded for wanting a sidearm that makes 25 yard heat shots an easy task, because you know, a guy on 4chan says they always jam.
You sure educated those trained and experienced operators anon, you should be proud.

I really don't, anon. Your process seems very time-consuming, and not at all practical for threat neutralization. I suppose that, due to irreconciliable differences, we are wasting each other's time. Good luck to you

No, you can tell your lawyer anything you want, but any lawyer worth his salt will say that you were shooting to stop the threat.
>>
>>33980652
But the exact reason why you'd use warning shots is because you don't want to kill them.

>>33980670
No, just put your rifle on top of a trash can or brace it against a corner or something. Or take a knee.

>>33980687
It's really not. You get a general gist of what you should and should not do through training and experience.

If the threat needs to be immediately neutralised, you still have the option of magdumping his torso. It's just not something you immediately jump to if other options are available.

I hate unsolicited advice in general, but you shouldn't get upset if you go around asking what gun you should get. It would be like getting mad if you wen't around asking what car to buy and got mad when people said "Toyota Corolla".

Two anecdotes don't mean much when weighed against thousands of shooters, wild animals, rapists, and general psychopaths dropped permanently. Were you assigned this line of rhetoric?
>>
>>33982442
You never actually managed to explain why it's stupid and dangerous, you just ran around in circles, flinging shit.

It works. It's a natural part of the force continuum, and it saves lives.

>>33982458
Well maybe the wouldn't be dead if the police had considered shooting their legs instead.

Have you lads read this by the way?

http://www.npr.org/2017/03/28/520826667/police-warning-shots-may-be-in-for-a-comeback

Looks like they're catching on to the point I'm trying to make: it's about de-escalation and controlled use of force. You want to take control of the situation and defuse before you have to magdump the suspect.
>>
>>33982505
You seem to think I meant the dead were an argument against. Your reading comprehension seemed stronger than that
>>
>>33982598
No, I don't think you meant that. But they are.

I know you probably subscribe to the "the best criminal is a dead criminal" line of thinking, but from my point of view, that is something the society should try to avoid as much as possible. At least if you believe in your legal system.
>>
>>33982505

I apologize, I actually just jumped into the conversation and after seeing what you guys were talking about I see the other guy never did actually explain exactly why less lethal shots are wrong.

Basically it's because there's no place you can shoot a person that can incapacitate him without risking his life. When considering shooting someone, you have a binary situation: either your life is directly threatened, or it isn't. In the former, shooting someone in the foot is a huge risk, because it's not an effective way of stopping them from threatening you. It also takes more time to aim for a particular body part and you have a smaller chance of hitting than shooting for center mass. In court, all this will be used against you: clearly your life wasn't REALLY in danger, because if it was you wouldn't have taken that extra time and effort, all when you could have neutralized the threat quickly and effectively with a center mass shot. The fact that you didn't neutralize the threat quickly and effectively, and that you could afford to take all this extra time and risk, and you still were fine, is proof that your life was never really in danger at all! That means that you risked the suspect's life unnecessarily by shooting them when you didn't actually need to.

Or, let's take the latter case and say you decide your life isn't actually in danger, but you decided to shoot them in the foot anyway. Shooting at someone is always a risk to their life: you can miss, you can hit an artery and they bleed to death there on the sidewalk. You can never just say for sure "I am going to shoot this person but not kill them." Guns are lethal weapons and extremely dangerous, and should always be treated as such. So if you try to shoot someone in the foot when they weren't threatening your life, you applied extremely dangerous force against someone when it wasn't necessary because less dangerous alternatives were still an option. Either way, you were in the wrong.
>>
>>33982626
I don't subscribe to that line of thinking. I do however believe in taking the path of least resistance. A weapon should only be fired to kill. Warning shots are immature and reckless. That tells Johnny Perp the first shot won't hurt him, and to make his own first shot count all the more.

>>33982656
Right, no worries.

The biggest issue I have with it is that it all stems from the assumption that using a firearm is automatically lethal force. It's true that shooting a suspect is always dangerous for him, but then again, the same is true of any force implement. Tasing him can mean he falls and hits his head and dies of brain hemorrhaging, OC may mean he chokes to death due to allergy to capsicum, and striking him with a baton may mean you accidentally hit him in the throat and crush his windpipe. The exact reason why L2L are called "less than lethal" instead of "nonlethal", is because the chance of death following their use is not zero. Therefore, the distinction between a firearm and other tools is purely arbitrary.

Do you agree with this?
>>
>>33982854
You speak of violent weaponry as if they were screws and bolts...your head can't be right lady

>>33982924

>the distinction between a taser and a gun is arbitrary because tasers stop the heart on occasion
That is what you're saying. I should really stop paying attention to you, but clearly we're both just a little lonely
>>
>>33982974
Yes it is.

Tasers are not nonlethal, and neither is shooting an extremity. Both can be lethal, and both can also be less than lethal. So what exactly is the percentage of survival when a use of a device can be considered actually "less than lethal"?

How many cases can you find where an intentional warning shot has ended up killing someone?

http://www.spiegel.de/panorama/justiz/polizei-schoss-2011-seltener-im-dienst-a-832037.html

49 cases of warning shots in 2011, not a single death. Seems pretty less than lethal to me.

As far as I can tell with my poor German, the article doesn't go into detail as to how many of the deaths were results of shots to extremities, so we can't really tell how likely it is to survive a leg wound as opposed to a chest wound. But even so, the chance of survival was still a respectable 83% in the year 2011. Slightly-more-lethal-than-less-than-lethal?
>>
>>33983126
Have you been published yet? I'm not doing any research to benefit you. Anyway, your handful of anecdotes is utterly meaningless when stacked against the countless shootings, rapes, robberies, and muggings that happen daily. The wheel isn't broken, anon. You're wasting energy trying to fix it.
