What can I say? James hooked me up. RRA lower too, this has been a pretty good week. |
+1 Also, we can't forget about the "mushy" feeling trigger on a Glock. I have owned 3 Glocks over the years, a 17, 20, and 21 (and I still have the 21), therefore I believe I have earned the right to bash them! Other than Glocks being ugly, bulky, blocky, having a strange grip to point of aim angle, and taking some "getting used to" with regards to hitting my targets, I will admit that ALL of my Glocks were reliable

I own a Glock 17 and a Glock 26. I carry a Glock 22 on duty. I only shot a Glock one time and bought both. I just bought my first 1911. I had never shot a 1911 before buying mine.  I like it. I like the Glocks and the 1911. I've been shooting the 1911 lately because, I wanta get use to it. ________________________  |
 As much Glock bashing as I may do, I will NEVER willingly part with my 21. I invested a lot of time in learning to shoot it properly and it goes BANG every time I pull the trigger. I sold the 17 because I found it to be under powered. The 20 was plenty powerful, BUT, finding 10mm ammo proved expensive and difficult for the college student I was at that time, so I sold it and purchased a Sig P226. Two years after graduating from college, I purchased the Glock 21 as a gift to myself for passing the CPA exam, and I have been shooting it since then. Also, I found the P226 in 9mm to be a bit under powered (like the Glock 17), but I picked it up for $200 from a neighbor who went down hill by becoming addicted to drugs, so I couldn't pass that deal up. Finally, last week, after years of shooting 1911s, and saying I was going to get one, I finally broke down and purchased one. Sure, it is a S&W 1911PD, but, it just felt so right in my hand! My next one will probably be a Springfield full size. I like the idea of owning two or more of the same type of gun that uses the same ammunition and magazines, while still being different at the same time (5" barrel vs 4.25", steel vs scandium, internal extractor vs external etc.). |
