Okay Glock People. Let the Firestorm begin.

[BerettaGuy]

Range Report (kinda)
I took my 2 daughters and their husbands to the range last night.
I brought several of my guns and my one son-in-law had a Glock 19
He asked me to try it so I loaded it and started shooting.
I was pleasantly surprised by experience.
I don't have any striker fires. Revolvers - Berettas of all kinds and 1911s.
I gotta say that I really liked the trigger of the Glock.
I reckon a striker fire gun like a Glock or Sig may be in my future. (Someone told me the Sig Trigger was even better than Glock's)

I hear to fore heartedly apologize for any snide comments I may have made about Glocks. May the Glock Gods forgive me.

That's exactly what happened to me after shooting a Glock. I shot it better than my 1911 or XDS.

I dropping in a different connector and now the trigger is even better.

I dont know if you can be forgiven. I wore my Glock shirt yesterday and got engaged in 2 convos about it. I carry my glock lanyard daily.

 

[Airborneguy]

I'll forgive you after you guy your own. It's like baptism.

I don't mind shooting glocks, they are great pistols at the range. I like the 19 and 17 the most. I don't like glocks for concealed carry though, which is why I don't have one. I wouldn't mind another compact duty sized pistol, but I'd rather have something else thinner with a full grip size, but compact frame. I chose the kahr pistol which is much sleeker, single stack, full size grip, stainless steel/two tone, lightweight, reliable, and looks awesome. It also has a nice stainless steel crisp trigger without a trigger safety.

I have a Kahr also. Been seriously thinking of trading it for a Glock 26 or 43.

So I have been called a Glock guy once or twice before, I compete often and only use my Glocks. Some guns have a spectacular trigger, some have a spectacular finish,some shoot spectacular. but a Glock does nothing spectacular. it does everything good and the end result is a reliable combat hand gun. Leave them stock they always run. If your looking for a fancy shinny slick thousand dollar gun to show your friends and co workers don't get a glock. if your looking for a gun to protect your friends get a glock. I only had one bad Glock and I sent it back to glock and got a replacement

Also make sure you learn the glock reset and use that when trying to shoot accurately ,

Also one you get your new Glock G17 or 19 let me know and you can meet me at one of the GSSF shooting matches to see how it runs

Now wait until you shoot a Walther.

What model kahr do you have? I'm not a fan personally of the G26 or G43 because of the stubby grips. If I'm going to go that short on the grip, I'll just carry my diamondback db380 micro compact with my magazine extension lip for deep concealment, otherwise a full sized frame with a narrow width. I've found that if a pistol is somewhat symmetrical in its profile, or retains a full length grip, it's what I prefer. Like my para expert carry has a 4" match 45acp barrel, but a full sized government model frame and it allows that excellent grip and control, but retains a short length. I just hate short grips I guess.

 

[Bananabandit]

I agree. Ill never go single stack Glock...one does not simply go full retard.

 

[Frankly]

I have a nice pistol and I have Glocks. I figure that if I can learn the shoot the Glock well then I'll be able to shoot most anything.

If I ever actually have to shoot somebody it will probably be with a Glock and the cops can impound it without taking away my nice pistol.

The Sig, Walther, etc. sound like nice Glocks.

HAHA! Are you referring to the same size double stack magazines used in NYS that are restricted to ten rounds only?

I get the not liking short grips thing, but it's the grips that usually are the hardest part to conceal. My Kahr is an MK9. It's a beautiful handgun, very well made Etc. My main gripe with it is the lack of accessories. It's the older model so finding sights is hard and different grips is next to impossible. Holsters are also hard to find though I'm pretty sure it would fit in a cm9 holster fine. I'm also just not a huge fan of the trigger either. I have a Glock 23 and like it a lot. I feel like the 23 would be a good winter carry and I could also summer carry with it, but I'd like something the size of the Kahr for summer carry because it just disappears on me. I've also thought about a Springfield R/O Compact or Champion, but I also really like the idea of staying within a family of handguns when it comes to defensive purposes. I could put the same sights and aftermarket controls on a Glock 26 as I have on my 23, so training would be better.

Depends on where you get them...but you didnt hear it from me

 

[Steal2B]

A chance at New York legal glock perfection?

Do we have a resident "steel and wood is the only guns there are" Revolver or nuthin" type here? Is that person triggered now?

 

[BerettaGuy]

Now wait until you shoot a Walther.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the new Walthers

 

[BerettaGuy]

HA! Fixed it. Actually, two of my daughters were there, but only one was with her husband. The other son=in-law was there while his wife (the third daughter) was away on her two weeks with the Guard. Other daughter is single. We certainly burned up a lot of ammo though.

Not me. Just posted images for a potential revolver guy who is considering a dose of glock perfection and said something about a firestorm. In fact, I believe Black guns matter and also that all guns matter. Someday I may get a real "purrtie" handgun with wood grips and a shiny steel frame but I still want more tupperware or alloy tools before that. Full disclosure, we routinely shoot wheel guns, but we do not have room in the safes or on our belts to add them to our flock since we shoot semi better. (It is a trigger thing)
