I get it, you don't like glocks, but you missed the mark so hard it actually hurts. Glocks are clearly the HP of the gun world. You'd need to triple the price and create an entire market based on proprietary crap, gimmicks, and aesthetics. Glocks are not aesthetic.

Glock are the Samsung of the gun world. Good-enough products, people love to hate them, occasionally release one which explodes.

I understand that most of /k/ are poorfag no guns, but I am legitimately curious. If glocks are over priced poor performers, what the fuck is an acceptable and reasonably priced pistol? Do you all unironically go to range day carrying nothing but hi points and slam fire pipe guns?

the only thing apple about the glock is that they release new iterations with very minimal changes, and people still line up to buy the new update while praising it as if they revolutionized something.

I'm not a glocksucker, but why are people calling glock the "apple" of firearms?
glock:
>big aftermarket
>reasonable price
>utilitarian
apple:
>no aftermarket
>overpriced
>limited utility
the only thing they have in common is a fan base that eats up everything they put out and they defend it to the last breath. If anything I'd say HK or maybe FN is the apple of the gun industry
>>
I would say glock but it doesn't fit the price point. HK because expense, mediocre quality, snobbyness and complete shit customer service. Glocks are more like your run of the mil taiwanese smartphones.
>>
>>34817781

I agree. You cant upgrade an apple phone but a glock you can make damn near reliable with aftermarket parts.
>>
>>34818109
you dont much about high end bolt guns it seems. at a certain price point you are buying more of craftsmanship and artistic value. people spend 20k on H &H rifles that they rarely shoot

Oh wait, you're serious.

HK, like Apple, has never actually innovated anything. They only popularized things other people invented.

H&K.

Both will be reviled by people who can't afford them, but the difference in quality is apparent in form and function. Paddle mag release will trip up inexperienced users just like apple, but that's not the designs fault, as it is effective.

And just like apple will last forever, so will HK.

HK made the first production polymer pistol. They made caseless ammo feasible. They made a squeeze cock pistol. They innovate all the time, and even fight shitty gun laws in the US, yet they get blamed when the government tells them they can't sell us cool guns.

>They made caseless ammo feasible
No. Caseless ammo has never and will never be feasible

>They made a squeeze cock pistol
Those have existed since the 19th century

>They innovate all the time
No
>>
>>34820817
>HK made the first production polymer pistol.
That's not really innovation desu. It's just being in the right place at the right time when science had advanced enough for polymer to be a feasible material for guns.

Spot on. We have a winner
>>
>>34821669
yet they were the first to do it. Someone still had to be the first.

>>34821653
Feasible to us maybe not, but the government asked and they did it, and are possibly still interested in it.
>>
>>34821709
The issue with this is that brass-rimless shotgun ammo would be a serious step up in terms of semi auto shotgun magazines. the price would be high, but it would be an improvement over stuffing plastic shells into box mags
>>
>>34820817
lets not forget modular grips on pistols(p2000sk) and rails(mark23/usp), every modern feature these faggots look for in handguns was popularized by HK
>>
>>34820387
>>he thinks a Toyota camry is better than a BMW 3 series
I've owned Camry's, and I've owned 3 series. I'll take the Camry any day. Neither are a Mercedes, or a Toyota Century.
>>
>>34821821
The government asked for a pigeon-guided missile. The government also thought you could make people psychic by putting LSD in water coolers.

Caseless ammo will never be feasible in a repeating weapon because the cartridges are too delicate, too vulnerable to the environment, and too difficult to extract from the weapon in the field if(when) they fail. PCTA on the other hand is probably the way we'll end up going, unless some breakthrough in batteries and superconductors allows us to jump straight to railguns.
