Quoted: 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? View Quote Jesus, even I wouldn't try to compare a Glock to a SW9VE! |

I have two Glock 19s and I love them but when I move to Free America I am going to buy a Smith & Wesson Shield 9mm for carry.

Glock 17 is the best Glock. Agreed, the 19 is pretty good too but for me its 17. FerFAL +1 Thinking the 19 was "the" Glock kept me out of them for several years. Then I discovered the full size and everything came together. |

Seems that that finish I saw is done by a distributor, and known as Burnt Bronze. Interesting.

Glocks are the best handguns. Glocks are highly reliable, even under extreme conditions and abuse. They are highly effective options for personal defense or law enforcement right out of the box, but there are also an almost infinite variety of options to customize your Glock. There are also many options available in terms of both caliber, size and capacity. Highly reliable factory magazines for Glock pistols are readily available and low cost. Glock pistols are also very competitively priced when compared to competitors from other manufacturers. If you want to own or recommend a handgun to someone, then Glock is the best choice.

Glocks are good enough guns, I prefer CZ though.
Got rid of all my Glocks but the 26, I love that gun. |

Nut hugging thread is nut hugging. I'll take my FN FNS over a Glock; feels better in the hand, reliable, and better trigger. Oh, and the sights won't break if you look at them wrong.

Quoted:
Best will always be subjective. I own what I consider to be the best, while others do not. I do not fault them for having a difference of an opinion. I do however fault them when they speak in absolutes and any opposition is hated on. It does not work that way. There are other just as highly effective options for personal defense, there is no such thing as a super Glock because it's scientifically impossible because of this pesky thing called physics. Having a gun for the mechanically inept who likes to have a lego that they cannot screw up doesn't make it the best, it just makes it subjective to a persons's wants and needs. Me, I see any handgun that is not stock perfect as second rate and should be avoided. Magazine costs or capacity are of no concern to me, I have enough for my needs.

And it's not like I'll ever conceal the G19 because it's huge and will print badly because in Texas, winter clothes don't exist. That said...

Glock:
Butt-ugly plastic shooting appliance with the ergonomics of a caulking gun. Five-pound trigger with no external safety makes it ill-suited for its target market (cops who shoot a hundred rounds a year for qualification). Favored by gangbangers because the product name is short and rhymes with other short, rap-friendly words. |
