best glock

[Tydeeh22]

glock 39 is nice..

 

[SixSigmaLarry]

Let's see:
For me, my first Glock, a G23 is it! I can get a conversion barrel and fire 9mm if need be.

Now if I throw practicality out of the equation, my G20SF! Nothing quite like a 10mm. Just wish I had more options locally to buy ammo. Seems I'm always buying bulk online.

I agree with many of the others that a Glock 23 is a fantastic gun. Mid size .40 cal.

G23 is the most versitile glock on the market in my opinion.

 

[whackmaster66]

In my opinion u can't go wrong with G20,G22 or G23... Those are my top 3...,
And love shooting all 3 of mine..

 

[red68ss]

G23 gen 3. Comfortable and easy to shoot, small enough for concealed carry, can't beat it.

 

[Glock_Man_21]

Opinions vary but I am partial to my Gen 3 21 bought it brand new and have probably well over 2000 rounds through it and never had any FTF or FTE issues.

Wow, 20, 21, 19, 17, 22, 23, 26, 27, 34, 35, 30.....Who knew there were so many bests? I'm thinking OP may have meant most versatile all-around Glock. If so, I will stick with the 23. But so many choices and so many answers. Glad we are not all stuck with one size and one model even though they all look similar.

These sorts of threads are somewhat entertaining for a variety of reasons:

• the OP is usually looking for specific information, yet...

the question is quite open-ended with room for a lot of variables.
​

• the question specifically concerns one specific brand of firearm, yet...

the responses include recommendations from other manufactures.
​

• the question assumes that we're all unbiased firearm gurus, yet...

the average response really just reflects one's "favorite" firearm.
​

Nonetheless, I will fearlessly enter the foray and give two opinions ...worth every bit of ink used to express them (hint for the subtlety-challenged: you're right, I didn't use any ink to write this out ...though, if you print this response, it will certainly be worth slightly more)....

First answer: "best" Glock for the shooter who doesn't quite know what they want, but they know they want a Glock. This person might be your girlfriend's neighbor's mother's friend's brother-in-law's second-cousin ....or it might be you, who just happened to seek out the advice of a stranger who looks like they might know something about guns because they like Clint Eastwood or John Wayne ...idunno. But, knowing nothing else about the person, I'd take a shot in the dark and recommend a Glock 19 (the question was about "best" Glock, right? Right.) for all the reasons already mentioned. It's a very good starting point amongst all the offerings from Glock and would disappoint few who were looking for a good all-around Glock pistol.

Second answer: for the person asking "what is your favorite Glock, and why?" (a similar question as the first, but with a subtle twist, nonetheless). I'd still go with a G27, based on its size, ability to accept larger magazines, and caliber. I'd also include that, were I to rethink my purchase of of the G27, several good arguments could be made for the G23, though I'm not sure ankle carry would be practical with that model. Even so, it does retain most of the other advantages (remember, IMO) as the G27. I think I'd still walk away with the G27 ...with an option to purchase a 22 or 23 at a later date.

Beyond that, several good arguments can be (and have been) made for other Glock models. While I'd love to encourage others to collect the whole set (and would love to do so myself), the practicality of it all (and lack of funds) is often the limiting factor. Still (and just to bump up the printed value of this opinion ever-so-slightly), the G19 is a hard to beat recommendation without knowing more specifics about the end-user.

27. Great tradeoff of power and quantity of rounds. Easy to shoot and coneal. It is also reliable and light weight. I love my 1911 at the range and at one time it would have been the best thing out there, but if I was walking into a really bad situation, I would feel more comfortable with any model Glock over a 1911.

19

 

[R.G.Gray]

The Glock 19 for EDC can not be beat.

 

[R.G.Gray]

The Glock 19 as an EDC can not be beat.

 

[mtgasten]

theoretically, what the best block model u can purchase. take everything into acct. caliber, number of rounds it holds, etc. dnt worry about bout CC/OC. so what is it glock nuts?????

glock 20

 

[D-Bo]

G18 is the best Glock. Other than that Glocks are like 99% of Harley riders, your only cool if you have one. (1911 peoply are the same)

 

[Mellow]

I see the majority are saying G19. As you stated in the OP open/conceal doesn't matter, so I say G17.
Better grip than a G19 and due to size, length, or whatever i'm slightly more accurate with the 17.

 

[bullet]

If I don't have to carry it G35.

 

[Bluedragon]

G19. About as good as it gets.

I second this ^^^^ The G19 is small enough for concealed carry, but still big enough with an adequate amount of rounds to be used as a duty gun. But maybe I'm just being biased because a G19 was the first Glock I bought...?

 

[Sling10mm]

The one that you shoot the best.

This says it all...

Taking all of the OP's variables into account the 17 wins hands down. If you can get the LE pricing (or know someone that can) it is ridiculously inexpensive.
