I owned one Glock previously (it was a gift from a friend) but hardly ever shot it.
The DoD hired me as a contract physician/surgeon and the 7th group comprised a cohort of people I treated. They taught me quite a bit about weapons, and it seemed like 99% of them swore by the Glock (either 17 or 19). Now it's my primary sidearm. Their argument was that it always goes "bang". That's it. Never heard one comment about ergonomics, accuracy, etc. It's just a highly reliable pistol. I like how they think. |

A lot of incorrect information on this thread.
to back up what Augee mentioned, the only reason SF got the Glock 19 and I mean only reason.. was to fulfill a requirements for a concealed pistol.. that is the reason why they do not have the G17. The Army said SF already had a full size pistol the M9. (How do I know.).. I worked with one the guys that helped write the requirement for the G19. And in a previous life was this at RG37... 
Would many SF guys prefer a full size G17? You bet. That is why you see many run flared extended mag wells and full size Glock 17 mags in their G19s. That is why team guys in SF get both G19 and a M9. Of course SF guys carry the G19 for everything. I literally think I was the last SF guy to not mind carrying a M9. I retired early 2017 so M9s time is truly finished!!! It was adopted by the rest of Socom just because it was a pistol already in the system... and they would not have to waste time holding new trials for another gun. Since it was already approved for SF. It was announced back in 2015 by SOCOM that all future G19 purchases would have the MOS cut. First issued MOS cut G19 I saw used early 2016 by a SF guy...My Son in Ranger Regiment got issued one around that same time. Also officially SF guys cannot carry any gun they want it is not allowed ..do they.. I won't confirm or deny. Question now is; since Sig adopted by the Army to replace M9 will Army SF guys get that also? (It wont replace G19 it will be a addition) If they do I bet some will give the Sig a try. Also CD is correct there are various other Glocks in service with Socom but they are limited quantities not available to all members... Only the G19 is |

I'm sorry to coming to this very established thread cool, but given the adoption of the Sig by a few of these services, do you think the seals will go that way as well?
From a logistics standpoint, they can replace the mk26 and 27 with the 230 system. I'm not a 230 hater, but I'd like to think that the Glock was adopted for its reliability and they will hang on to it. |
There is but one truth in the world and it is all yours. If you are not sure of it stay at home; but if you are sure don't look back and it will be your way.

I'm not a 230 hater, but I'd like to think that the Glock was adopted for its reliability and they will hang on to it. The way it generally works SOF units get base branch issue. SOCOM issues on top of that. So Glocks stay on teams. At least in the Army thats how it works.. SF teams get issued everything a Infantry Company gets (for 12 dudes).. Then on top of that all SOPMOD / SOCOM issue. Every SF team has boxes of crap (Weirdo optics and lasers) Issued by regular Army that never get used. |

SOCOM won't adopt the M17/M18 and replace the Glocks until they prove themselves in the long run. Will SOCOM use the new SIGs? Yes, as Stukas87 stated when mother Army replaces the Groups M9s for M17, they'll be there. I'm another fan of the M9 just don't have the option of drawing on out.

Is the Trijicon RMR actually used on Glocks overseas? Its obviously the optic of choice in lots of member’s pics but im not sure ive seen one in a picture of a “deployed” Glock?
Is this because its just easier to pick up a replacement Docter Optic if one fails sonce they’re in the system? |

Sometimes, when I've been drinking, I'll read something and think, "that guy is a know-it-all ass" and usually then I notice, "oh, that's me."
