Glock does 9 mm very well.
Their other calibers tend to be hit and miss. |

I describe them as "The Honda Accord of Guns". The Accord isn't flashy, you're not going to take it to any car shows or to the drag strip.... But if you need a car that's going to do 99% of the shit you need a car to do day-in and day-out and do so reliably with basic maintinence you can go down and buy and Accord, stick the key in and be fairly assured it will do it. Yup....boringly reliable. That is what I require in a tool.... |

I like my Glock, but it's not the best gun there ever was. If I could afford one of those MARSOC 1911's I would probably carry that. I own one and I carry a Glock 22.

In my experience Glock's chambered in .45 ACP, .40 S&W, and 10mm Auto are all good to go. I don't think there is any serious question that the Glock 20 is the best 10mm pistol around. The Delta Elite was cool, but it doesn't handle full house loads. |

What is so fucking laughable are the Glock nut huggers who insist that there should be no other firearms made, and anything else is a relic, a piece of shit, or a hundred other idiotic descriptions. Guess what, different strokes for different folks. I despise the way a Glock feels, and shoots; it doesn't work for me. It doesn't mean that I don't recognize that it's a quality firearm. But it's not the only one, and it's not perfection, either. |

"I can tell you that even though I am not a "Glock guy", it is the most reliable handgun in our inventory and I would trust it with my life. We use Gen1-Gen4 17's on the line and they are the most hassle-free handgun we have... It would be fair to say that they get at least 100,000 rounds before cracking.""

I respect the 9mm line of Glocks but calling them perfect or the best is like saying the Toyota Corolla is the perfect car.
I personally don't like the feeling of my G19 in my hand, the trigger is uncomfortable, and it is very blocky to carry which is why I have chosen another brand. There is a lot to be said about the simplicity of a Glock but the reality is, compared to others on the market, they are overpriced. When S&W can sell a SW9VE for $250 and make money on it, you have to ask yourself what makes a Glock $300 better? |
