Am I the only one that doesn't like glocks?

[5.0_CJ]

Everyone loves glocks it seems. I've never really been a fan on them. In my opinion, they are the honda of handguns... boring, uneventful, dependable but blah. I've shot several and none of them have really ever excited me. I have large hands and they always make me cramp up, and I just don't feel like I have a gun in my hands, just a toy. I'll take my S&W 645, 1911, or USP any day - they have a presence, a soul if you will... a glock does not. Anyone else feel the same way?

[David]

I dont have any complaints, but then again Im not really pickiy about shit.

If it fits in my hand comfortably and works, I'll take it.

[Yale]

Don't feel alone, CJ! I also wouldn't own a glock. They just don't feel comfortable to me.

[5.0_CJ]

Don't feel alone, CJ! I also wouldn't own a glock. They just don't feel comfortable to me.

I need to buy you a beer.

[Yale]

I'm down like four flat tires!

[That_Is_My_El_Camino]

No, you're not alone. However, I'm not one of them.

I've got 3 - Glock 21 (full-size .45 ACP), 22 (full-size .40 S&W), and 29 (sub-ish-compact 10mm). They all feel nice in my hands, balance right, and don't feel like toys to me, and I'm not too concerned about the looks. Reliability is also nice.

On the other hand, I held an XD-45 before getting my Glock 21 (having never held either one), and it just felt weird. I don't regret going with the Glock.

That said, I also like 1911s, my Witnesses, my Sig P228, my Dan Wesson .44 Magnum and .445 Supermag, and my Smith & Wesson 657.

[Pokulski-Blatz]

Glocks are for people that cant afford a HK ... true story

[Vertnut]

After owning two Glocks over the years, and firing many others, I settled on the XD9 a few years ago. I like the safety features, and it's just more comfortable for me.

[mopar63]

I have shot a few Glocks and don't really like them but I prefer my XD, just more comfortable to me. But if someone were to give me a Glock I would not turn it down.

[grove rat]

i like all guns

[quikbluewagon]

Same here. I don't much care for Glcoks. The ones I have shot feel like they have no real substance. I prefer a heavier gun like my BDEs. I also like to have a safety.

[propellerhead]

I don't mind Glocks. It's the extreme Glock fan that bothers me. Those that believe in Glock or nothing. Those that believe anything that isn't a Glock is shit. You know the type....

Third – Its more ascetics that I don’t like about Glocks. I can’t say anything bad about their reliability.

In the end, whatever goes boom when you pull the trigger is the best gun. For me, it just won't ever be a Glock.

[grove rat]

yea, it was just for a laugh :D

i agree the glock looks like a brick but hey, if it's all you got then it's all you got. i have a glock 17 right now that i mainly use for plinking, but i have a sig sauer p220 on the way that i will be using for personal protection :)

[JESmith]

I've tried to like Glocks, but I can't. There are a good firearms in my opinion. They just don't fit my hand. When I point, the muzzle is too high and I have conciously bring the muzzle down every shot. This is very frustrating. I don't care how uber-cool a firearm is... If I can't shoot it accurately, I don't want it.

[srt-4_i_swear]

I only got a glock because of the 10mm, but it seems to be a real nice pistol. If you think the smaller 9mm glocks are bricks pick up a Glock 20.

Our M&P 9 is much more comfortable to shoot and aesthetically pleasing.

[Pokulski-Blatz]

Does H&K have a 10mm yet?


not that i am aware .

[sanddragger28]

The FN FNP-9 and other FNP models are by far the best feeling most accurate pistol I have had. It blows my Glocks away in accuracy and its SA/DA. Glocks are good for taking abuse. But the FNP is as accurate as 1911's in the 1200 dollar range.

[Kirbster]

Our M&P 9 is much more comfortable to shoot and aesthetically pleasing.

I bought a M&P 9 yesterday. Can't wait to shoot it!

I just never liked the grip on the Glocks. Otherwise, I think its a damn good pistol. But I like others better.

[forever_frost]

I've never liked Glocks either. I prefer a good 1911 over them anyday. I have big hands and they just feel and look like toys.

[That_Is_My_El_Camino]

I've never liked Glocks either. I prefer a good 1911 over them anyday. I have big hands and they just feel and look like toys.That's odd. My Glock 21 and Glock 29 and even my Glock 22 fill my hands much more than my Springfield 1911. :confused:

i traded my 1911 for something with some knock down power.

[BP]

If I had to open carry and was likely to need to use a weapon regularly in different climates and conditions it'd probably be a Glock, assuming of course a sub machine gun wouldn't be feasible. For personal concealed carry though I'll take my Kimber with it's thumb safety on the hammer as well as the grip safety.

The hardest part is trying to figure out which 10mm to shoot. :(

[Cmarsh93z]

Glocks are a tool that works good...I love them

[Dacotua]

I've seen two Glocks explode in peoples hands before (They don't really have a supported chamber, and when the rear of the shell blows off, it forces the fire down onto the shooters finger.). Both instances the person was using reloaded ammo, but still. I'll never own a glock.

I prefer 1911's, Sig Sauers, Beretta's, etc....

Just not a Glock fan..

[Kart21]

Got a Glock 37 (.45 G.A.P.) and I love it. I have smaller hands and the .45 A.C.P. rounds were a little big in lenght for me. Like the .45 gap as it does have slightly more speed than the .45 acp round ( +p powder ). It just fits my hands better. I also have a .44 Mag but it's big and long and shoots like a Battleship :) . To each their own.

[grove rat]

it's buirck

[aggie97]

I always dismissed glocks because of the "plastic gun" BS...but had never fired one. The CHL class I took provided the guns for the practical portion of the test and I think they were Glock 21's...9mm standard frames and had 50,000 rounds through them. Well, I liked it and shot very well with it. 248/250 with about a 4" group and had one stove pipe which looked like a defective round. I would carry one I guess, but for the price would buy a sig first... I still want that 220 compact but that will have to wait until someone wants to give me one or my blood sells for $500/pint! :p

[grove rat]

I think they were Glock 21's...9mm standard frames

if it was a standard frame 9mm it was the glock 17, the glock 21 is a standard frame .45 ACP

[grove rat]

here's a story from a 1911 lover, glock hater:

I hate Glocks. Let me say that again, I hate Glocks. They are an overrated, plastic, ugly handgun. I never even wanted one. I am a 1911, Revolver, and Hi Power kind of guy, that’s it. Three years ago Missouri joined the ranks of States that allowed its owners to Conceal Carry Handguns. I went through my training and obtained my permit. I ordered a fine High Noon holster for my Kimber and all was great in my world. I carried that combination for several months and was very happy with my choice. Then, it got hot….and humid. I understand most people can carry a 1911 concealed in warm weather, but for me it was not going to happen. In shorts and a t-shirt you could not only tell I was carrying but I am sure you could tell the caliber and brand by the bulk sticking out of my pants. At 5’10” and 170 lbs., I don’t have a large enough frame to hide that in summer attire.

I had to have something smaller. A good friend of mine is a retired LEO with the Missouri Department of Conservation and suggested a “Baby Glock”. I read up on them and took the plunge, against my better judgment. When I picked it up I have to admit that I was impressed with how well it shot. It was ugly, no doubt but it did shoot well. I started trying all sorts of ammo through it, hoping in the back of my mind that it would find something that it did not like. It did not, I tried White Box all the way to 9mm+p+ and all shot great. I have about 2000 rounds through the G26 now and have not had a single FTE or FTF. I am impressed! I carry this handgun in a High Noon Down-Under and it conceals very well. I ride bikes with my son, play baseball, and even spent some time last summer at the beach with no signs that I was carrying a handgun. The finish still looks great and even the plastic still seems to be holding up fine.

I still carry my Kimber much of the time. But when the summer comes and the weather gets hot I have to admit I do not feel guilty at all when I slip my G26 on and head out for a day in the sun and humidity. I feel the ammo I carry will stop any problem when placed in the right spot and my ugly little Glock is up to that challenge.

Do I still hate Glocks ….yes, all of them but mine. It is not for sale.

[aggie97]

if it was a standard frame 9mm it was the glock 17, the glock 21 is a standard frame .45 ACP See! I am not a glock guy! LOL!

[futant]

glocks are great. I don't see what is to not like about them
they come in every shape and size, and always work. Nearly invincible...
they're better than my best tools. They don't need cleaning nearly ever.
throw and extended mag / slide release and a 3 1/2 pound connector on there and its good to go.

Pretty......... I would n't go that far.

my glock 27 i call 'the pissed off baby glock'
and my 21 , is 'the cadillac'

I've owned a couple before and didn't like one thing or another about them , sold em , and got the right one.(for me)
Hell they sale for what you pay for them, what's not to like about that?

I'm all about function / usability over look. Especially in something like a handgun where it's most important function will always be DEFENSE. No bling for me , no fucking thanks.

[Yale]

We see eye to eye futant, but I just don't like the way they feel in my hand, and I've shot a few different ones. I'm really the biggest fan of 1911's. They just feel perfect.

[Trip McNeely]

I like mine.

[That_Is_My_El_Camino]

my glock 27 i call 'the pissed off baby glock'
and my 21 , is 'the cadillac' My little sister has a 27 and loves it (and isn't afraid of the recoil of some hot .40 S&W, either!). I've shot it, and it's a bit small for my hands, even with the magazine/grip extension. I could if I had to, and I could probably get used to it, and I may even pick one up just for shits and giggles.

I really love my 21, 22, and 29. I'm thinking about getting a .22 LR conversion for at least the 29, maybe the 21, too.

They're not for everybody, but if you're looking for a good, dependable gun (that's chambered for the greatest cartridge evar!) and like the feel, it's hard to beat a Glock.

[5111]

That's odd. My Glock 21 and Glock 29 and even my Glock 22 fill my hands much more than my Springfield 1911. :confused:

My Glock 21 has a wider grip than any of my other pistols, including my 1911s. I am also much more accurate with my Glock 21 than with any of my $1K guns (of course I have put thousands of rounds through the Glock and only hundreds through each of the 1911s).

[Casper]

I agree with him because they come with better mags, accessories, look better, have a better safety, etc.

[spankustang]

I have only shot one Glock, don't know which one it was, in .40 and it shot pretty well.
But not nearly as well as my Sig P229 in .357!!

[That_Is_My_El_Camino]

I agree with him because they come with better mags, accessories, look better, have a better safety, etc.Better mags, meaning...? I've never had a failure to feed or a failure to eject with any of my 3 Glocks; the magazine always shoves the fired case through the port and feeds the next into the chamber, without a problem.

"Looks better" is irrelevant when we're talking about the quality and the reliability of the gun, and why do you need a safety? I can't count how many times I've holstered and unholstered my loaded, chambered Glocks without any sort of malfunction.

I won't argue accessories because I don't know much about them, but Glock does have a pretty big aftermarket.

That said, no Glock or XD comes close to the look or feel of pure sex that is the EAA Witness:

[evil jose]

You guys crack me up. There is not one gun fits all out there so you know everybody's opinion is going to vary. Might as well ask what everybody's favorite food is and start beating them down for not agreeing with what you like.

I have different hand guns and carry them depending on the situation. If I'm going concealed I prefer my Glock. It's light, has no sharp edges, and is quick and easy to bring into play. I love how my Kimber feels in my hands but because it's to heavy (full size .45) and the safety kinda digs into my side sometimes I don't care to carry it concealed. It's what I keep handy around the house and just the look of the Kimber compared to my G27 is intimidating (my dogs don't even like my pointing it at them :D ). Safety's? My finger is my safety.

One of my favorite lines from Black Hawk Down

Steele: Sergeant, what's the meaning of this?
[Thinking he's talking about the unauthorized pig picking]
"Hoot": Just a little aerial target practice, sir. Didn't want to leave 'em behind.
Steele: I'm talking about your weapon, soldier. Now Delta or no-Delta, that's still a hot weapon. Your safety should be on at all times.
"Hoot": This is my safety, sir.
[He holds up his index finger and bends motions as if squeezing a trigger and then walks off]
Sanderson: Let it alone, sir. He hasn't eaten in a few days.


I certainly wouldn't turn down some of the guns you guys have suggested but what I own is what fits my needs best.

You know, its funny; My great Grandfather was Gaines county sherrif for many years. He carried a little 32 H&R pistol for rounding up rustlers and such. The pistol, in all its rusted ugly glory, sits in a glass case in the Seagraves Museum.

If you look closely at the nearly 100 year old gun, you'll notice a little dingus on the trigger just like a Glock. I got a kick out of that.

I picked up an XD40 the other day.

Felt like a stick on a stick at 90 degrees . not comfortable and not easy to point per se.
the handle felt so small around a girl would feel more comfortable.

NO THANKS!

im sure it shoots fine , but it's design is crude at best with it's retarded ass bore line/angle.
I don't know how the fuck they sold so many. I guess people have seen all the glocks and got bored and believed that something could be better.

Most important thing is pick a gun that shoots good for you and points great/ easily.
Any one can sling some stones , but it took a perfect shot to the head to stop goliath.

Any way I did not see what was ergonomic about XD's. High bore axis, little to no bore angle = 90 degrees LOL WTF!

[mach1]

I don't really "like" glocks, I think they are ass to shoot but I have one because I feel pretty damn good about it going bang when I pull the trigger, I'd take reliability over anything else in a bad situation.

AR-15 variants are just as dependible as an AK if you clean them, the few years without chromed barrels and incorrect issue ammo in vietnam is over and done with. And they are a hell of a lot more accurate weapons, if you're at 400 yards shooting iron sights on an AK and a guy with an M16 catches you walking about, you're dead and theres nothing you can do about it.

Yeah I agree, I was referring to the Vietnam era but I forgot to mention it. I was just using it as an example showing that I'd rather have a ugly, uncomfortable glock that shoots rather than something with more character that jam's up regularly. After all, a guns first priority should be shooting and I think Glock has that down pretty well.

Yeah I agree, I was referring to the Vietnam era but I forgot to mention it.

I'd rather look good dead with a nice 1911 in my cold dead hands than an ugly ass glock.

1911's are pretty damn reliable, and if you're having an FTF issue in the field, you should've been having one on the practice bench, or else you aren't practicing and deserve to get shot. The gun you train with is worth way more than the one in the shop display case you think is pretty. 1911's FTMFW!

Better mags, meaning...? I've never had a failure to feed or a failure to eject with any of my 3 Glocks; the magazine always shoves the fired case through the port and feeds the next into the chamber, without a problem.

"Looks better" is irrelevant when we're talking about the quality and the reliability of the gun, and why do you need a safety? I can't count how many times I've holstered and unholstered my loaded, chambered Glocks without any sort of malfunction.

I won't argue accessories because I don't know much about them, but Glock does have a pretty big aftermarket.

That said, no Glock or XD comes close to the look or feel of pure sex that is the EAA Witness:


YOU SON OF BITCH!!! I should have never sold it to you, go ahead and keep rubbing my nose in it :(

YOU SON OF BITCH!!! I should have never sold it to you, go ahead and keep rubbing my nose in it :(Sorry, mang. It's just a beautiful gun, and, somehow, not all that well-known. I've gotta spread the word, you know. :o

It's cool, I'm ordering a compact in Wonder finish next week. That should make it a bit more easy to conceal.
