Why own a glock? Because what other series of gun can create 4 pages of posts on a Saturday morning. What role does it serve in a collection? It is the quentisential defensive pistol.
I am a Glock owner. They are what the are, a tool. I also own a quality hammer and set of vice grips. My G23 is ready to perform the task if that situation is to arise. Other then that that I can not claim to be a fan boy. Glocks lack soul! They are not that good looking, they are not fantastically accurate, they don't have great triggers or ergonomics. They are rugged, reliable, practical, and have a lot of accesories available for them.
I would say go ahead and snag yourself a G17/G19. If nothing else they hold their value pretty well.
I just know how to reel 'em in, that's why my thread is so successful! (I kid, I kid). Good post, I'm pretty sure I've been turned to the Glock side.
I have a G17 Gen 4 lined up. It's ALL STOCK so what I want to know is, should I fire light loads (ie, federal 115gr, UMC 115gr etc) before I replace the recoil spring? I'm not positive, but pretty sure it has the .40 spring in it (being factory). Is there a specific date for when Glock started putting the correct recoil springs in? I don't want to have to call Glock as soon as I get my first ever.
