I honestly wanted to be a Glock guy. I always liked them up until I got a little trigger time with them. I guess it's just me, but I just didn't like the way they felt in my hand. Grip angle, mostly. But I certainly don't begrudge any fans out there.

The world didn't start with Glocks and it doesn't end with Glocks, but if I could only own one pistol for the rest of my life it would be a 22Gen4.... with the large back strap attached. Or a 19.
Once you develop the feel to let the trigger go back only to the reset point, wooooeeeee it's fun putting a lot of rounds into a small area very quickly. 
While I've used and owned other brands (S&W, Beretta, HK, Ruger, CZ, probably some others I'm forgetting at the moment), their triggers feel vague in comparison. |

First gun was/is Glock 30 SF
Love it. Shoots smoothely, recoil is very controllable and I'm able to get rounds down range quickly and accurately. Grip angle does not bother me. It is my carry gun, so it is awkward at times, but worth the reliability. Never had a jam with it. I also own a 1911 and am planning on Buying a S&W M&P9 or M&PC. They're all tools to me, but Glock will always have my love and support |

Here's how I feel about Glocks.
Glocks are a utility weapon. They are reliable, they are reasonably comfortable to carry and shoot. But they are ugly and they have no real "history" behind them. |

I shot a M&P full size 9mm with regular backstrap, and I still like Glock 17 better especially since I can fire it without the mag in the gun. I really like the grip angle of the G17 vs any gun out there too btw.

After carrying one for 18 years I've grown to love them. Simple and reliable defensive gun. I don't even think they're as ugly as some make them out to be - I like the overally simple shape and a least amount of markings which are small and not too gaudy like other handguns are nowadays. My department's in the process of switching to the M&P .40 cal and I'm not that thrilled about it. I'm sure the M&P's a great gun it just looks cheap to me, gaudier markings, and metal magazines.

The ergonomics on a Glock flat out suck to actually shoot.
I have run 5 day classes with Sigs and walked away without a bruise or blister. Glocks beat up the shooter with the squarish grip, cut out under the trigger guard, and ribbed trigger. They are cheap to buy and fix. They used to be reliable before the MIM extractor. All in all, they are not my first choice. |

I love(d)* the way I can abuse/tinker with it using a relatively minimal amount of tools and not worry overmuch about messing it up. *Before 9mm gen 4 Glocks became scarcer than hens' teeth. |

The first handgun I purchased was a Glock 19. It is still my "go to" gun and carry gun.
The firearm market has matured and there are plenty of good handguns out there to compete with Glocks. I'm sure I wouldn't have a problem switching to a XD, M&P, Sig, H&K, or one of the other brands in that space, but I doubt I will unless they were to outperform my Glock exponentially. I now own 2 19s since I inherited one from a family member. I will probably end up owning a 17, 21, and 22 before its over. Who knows, I may try another brand, too! |

Don't hate them; but don't shoot them all that well. Plenty of others I shoot much better with. My wife shoots a G19 better than anything she's ever put her hands on; all comes down to the individual. My daughter has fallen in love with the BHP; always though she was a sharp one!
