If somebody is handing out 5 free Glocks, I'll take 3 Gen 4 19s and 2 43s.

You turned in your carry credentials, right?

Thanks for your honesty in admitting being negligent and not properly maintaining your firearms.


Still got my card, switched from leather holsters to kydex that doesn't hold sweat and I carry guns that I don't have to wipe down with oil every night.

It's all good though, I have more M&P's and S&W revolvers than I do Glock's. Heck, I even have a 1911.

It is pretty funny!

No, xylo-tards are nowhere near as easy to trigger.

Don't have a Glock. Never had a Glock. No future Glock ownership plans. That may change - never say never. A few on the want list, but nary one a Glock.

They aren't my favorite for sure, I'm a Ruger BH, 1911, S&W type of guy. But when I wake up in the middle of the night to the dogs barking, it's the first thing in my hand.

I've never held a Glock that felt comfortable at all*, nor one that felt like it would last.

I know that the numbers say they are durable, but they don't feel right!

And "having to learn to accept the grip angle and trigger" means "learning to like crap".

Weight means recoil absorption, which means controllability and shootability.



* My hands are not "average" - I have large palms and rather stubby fingers... which means that grip size/shape and trigger location are VERY important to whether I would ever buy a weapon... and Glocks do NOT fit my hands.

I have turned down very nice Smiths & Rugers as well, when the trigger was too far forward for my finger to sit properly.

Kahr pm9. (better than a 43)
CZ P10C. (better than a 19)
CZ P09. (better range toy than a 17)

It seems Glock fans are in the mindset that "you're either one of us, or you're not!" And if you aren't one of them they write you off as a hater. After that anything you may have to say has no validity .


Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
