here we go again. I think Glocks are okay, I own a G-21 and love it. I also love my 1911's. The Glock has gone boom every time I wanted it to.

sure--just remember, its one of the (if not the most) used brand of HG in the US (over 4.5M i believe) so there are going to be a few more kBs if only b/c there are more to the ratio
besides, i think that most of it is hype--snowballed by the net as you may well know though, the glock 40sw models are more prone to kBs ( i also heard that the .45s are too...) due to a un-fully supported chamber www.glockfaq.com/reloading.htm i would get any glock model and trust my life to it.....get one

there's so reliable I would bet twonami's life on one, assuming I was standing next to twonami in order to metaphorically subject myself to a similar and hypothetical risk level of rumored design flaws to mysteriously cultivate spontaneous detonation and subsequent physical relocation of said individual, thus proving my stance on how reliable they really are.
hope that helps |

I don't like the trigger pull and grip angle...
When the trigger has a competition job, the pistol for me become a bit more "bearable"... |

Same here. I prefer the Hi Power or 1911. That said, they are utterly reliable and accurate. So...it all comes down to personal preference, IMO. |

Glocks are awesome. They get more right than wrong compared to any other gun maker. My CCW for 3 years has been a G19

I like em. They do have a crappy trigger pull when compared to 1911's or other single action pistols but they're plenty accurate for their intended purpose. There's nothing sexy about them, they're actually pretty ugly but the benefit there is that you don't have to worry about getting them scratched up.
I currently own three and have had up to seven at one time. That's what my Department issues me and I wouldn't prefer to carry anything else. I've owned nice 1911's, Sigs and an H&K and for my purposes, I still prefer the GLOCK. |

crappy trigger
horrible sights un-natural grip angle Kaboom Kaboom Kaboom. The local PD's EVERYWHERE use them for the following reasons: 1. Cost 2. Cost 3. Cost 4. Idiot Factor 5. Cost 6. Cost Did I mention cost? You get what you pay for. I'm not saying they don't go Kaboom ever time you pull the crappy trigger while, somehow managing to sight it thru horrible sights and broken wrist re-set incorrectly by a third world witch doctor, grip angle. Say it again,.......you get what you pay for. If I wanted a Kel Tec then I would buy one. |

I have been carrying one for 12 years. I have a G21 for duty and a G36 for personal carry. I can not say they are hands down the best guns. I personally like the Kimbers. They are the best combat pistols. Reliable, simple and hard to break.

They kick ass but the grip is on the large side. The 10mm which is the same size is one of my favorite guns ETA: or did you mean the .45GAP

Never had any issue with mine, highly recommend them. Also recommend getting the Hogue grip for it, but then again I put that on everything I shoot.

Love em!
Never had a problem with any of the ones I've owned. Had several thousand rounds through my Glock 36 before it started jamming. Glock sent a brand new recoil spring (free of charge) and worked pefectly again. I trust it with my life, and that really says a lot. -MEI

G22 with about 1000 rounds through it in the first year I owned it.
G36 with about 500 rounds and the take down pin spring broke, waiting on parts as we speak I love my glocks, and hardly ever shoot my P229 and never carry it anymore. |

Glock 17, Glock 19.....
 How many rounds? Don't even ask, I quit counting the cases of ammo 10 years ago. Just bought another Glock 17 2 weeks ago with an olive drab frame. Cause it's perty! And now I'm saving my pennys so I can get a olive drab 19. Got to wait till the wife gets re-employeed though.

Look Glocks are a good safe and dependable firearm. Some like some do not. I have carried a glock 22 for seven years and have thousands of rounds through it. I bet my life everyday I work on it. Simply find what works for you and buy it.
PS Some people like the almost 100 year old designs and others like the 25 year old designs. |

During the course of a year I purchased five Glocks. 2 G22's, 1 G19, 1 G36 and a G30.
The G22's and G19 performed flawlessly but the G30 and 36 had a bad habit of FTF because of light firing pin strikes. Sold them all the same year. I decided that if I could not buy a stock pistol and spend two thousand dollars personalizing it, then it just was not worth owning. Just a hopeless custom 1911 man I guess. |

Hope to get a Glock 30 someday...that is the best min-gun I ever fired. Glocks are good, solid weapons...however having said that, I prefer SIGS...and after extensive testing, the US military found them to be unreliable and not idiot proof. By unreliable I mean only by a very small percentile % as compared to SIG and HK and Beretta...very small, but it was enough to nix them from serious consideration. By idiot proof...you know grunts and snuffies! That "safety thing" there just won't cut it with the troopers.

I have six of them ... all relaible and plenty accurate. I have three of them in competition(IPSC). Only problem I ever had was with my Glock 21. After about 1000rnds, my firing pin spring took a crap. It was noticably shorter than its replacement. Now it has been running without a hitch for several thousand rounds.

Once again ignorance rears it's ugly head. That said I've carried a G17 on duty for the last 11 years and it has never failed me, not once. We'll soon change to G22's and my trust will not change. |
