Quoted: 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. You forgot, "all pistols should be Glocks and all Glocks should be Glock 19s". |

A Glock is the best gun a "non-gun" person can buy.
Buy it, load it up, forget about it, shoot it some, forget about it more, etc. and it'll basically just run, and you can always find accessories for them easily. My dad still has never cleaned either of his yet they always work.I prefer HK's, but I keep a G19 in the truck all the time, and there's still days where I just prefer to carry one of my Glocks instead. If HK wasn't around I'd basically have mostly Glocks. |

But many people have a tough time with the trigger and brick like ergonomics. Seems to work best with over sized hands like mine. |

I do hate that Glock will not make me a lever Euro style mag release. I also believe in diversity...... I may own 15 Glocks but I do have a very wide range of other pistols. (CZ, Sig, Walther, HK, S&W, 1911's etc) |

Right now I am on an H&K LEM kick, but Glock has been the gold standard for a long time now. When someone who is new to defensive shooting asks me what pistol they should get, I always tell them to buy a Glock 19 without hesitation. Ultra reliable. Very good trigger. Reasonably priced. Good to go. "How it feels in my hand" is something newbs obsess over.

I will capitulate and agree that the plastic sights do suck. They should dump them and just put the 3 dot tritiums on all of them. I wonder if they could pull that off without it affecting cost too much. |

The vast majority of Glock owners will never have an issue with them failing, but if you actually carry your Glock for self defense it is.. #1 smart to have quality night sights, factory or otherwise....because finding you front sight is important in all lighting conditions... #2 smart to have a robust set of steel sights on your firearm that will better resist shearing/breaking |

A Glock is the best gun a "non-gun" person can buy. Buy it, load it up, forget about it, shoot it some, forget about it more, etc. and it'll basically just run, and you can always find accessories for them easily. My dad still has never cleaned either of his yet they always work.
I prefer HK's, but I keep a G19 in the truck all the time, and there's still days where I just prefer to carry one of my Glocks instead. If HK wasn't around I'd basically have mostly Glocks. 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. That's what Glocks do. I don't even particularly care for them that much or shoot them particularly well as opposed to other guns but if you dropped me anywhere in the world to do a security detail with a G19 four mags and a box of HST, I'd feel pretty good about it. |
