Do Glocks Really Suck?

So far, I like my Mod. 23!

I dont have much experiene with glocks,I've only shot two or three.Pretty nice guns but just dont like the way they fit my hand.Got to be good or they wouldnt be so popular with police departments everywhere.

I think they are probably fine weapons. Very reliable and good weapon to trust your life to.
However they are to me as about as attractive as a hi-point. Silly reason to base a handgun purchase I admit, but there it is.
I feel that I can be just as well protected by a more eye pleasing firearm.

I have an Springfield XD. I chose it because I personally liked having the extra safety on the grip. The other reason is that it has an indicator to tell you that there is a round in the chamber. That said, I fired a Glock recently. I don't know if it was a Gen 3 or 4--I don't much about them. It was the same caliber--.40 I noticed the recoil was not as bad as the XD and I liked the sights better. I was able to to put a round right in the middle of a bullseye at 35 ft. So I can understand why people like them. The Glock does not have a chambered round indicator, though, and I am a little concerned about not having the extra safety feature. Other than that, I was very impressed with the Glock!
Even my step son who hates Glocks was impressed!

On the other hand, if you feel comfortable with a gun who cares what it looks like. No BG is going to thank you for being shot with a pretty gun!!! Use what feels best to you and what you can comfortably use!

Glocks don't suck, people who hate Glocks suck.

Really..........

They do not suck they are just homely. That girl or guy you think is nice but you do not want your friends to see you with.

I have been browsing internet forums and it seems that I have come across more Glock haters than Glock lovers.

Head over to Glocktalk. That will bring balance back to the force for you

I was think of adding a frame mounted safety to my glock

That's just wrong. Clearly I need to take that Glock off your hands, because you just should not do that.

And it's not even in the Handguns forum.

Agreed

The Glock likely sits lower in your hand than the XD, and therefore there is less muzzle flip, as the bore axis is more in line with your arm.

Also, since I consider all guns loaded, I don't have need of a loaded chamber indicator

OP, the answer to the subject line of your post is No. Some may not like them, but the certainly do not suck.

Yeah, but if your homely girlfriend kicked butt.....

She cooks well, she is completely reliable, and she's low maintenance... yep, she's a Glock

 

[wrigleycub]

yeah.... That's why most Law enforcement agencies go with Glock.


Insert purple where needed...

Law enforcement carrying a weapon has nothing to do with anything but cost. Just sayin. Oh and im a glock guy.

I have been browsing internet forums and it seems that I have come across more Glock haters than Glock lovers. I just purchased a used gen 2 Glock 17. I have shot it and it is really fun to shoot. It has not exploded on me yet.
My question is are Glocks poor pistols?

Yep.

 

[davedolli]

I had a G19 and could never shoot it well, I have other 9mm handguns that I can shoot fine. I bought a G26 a while back and really like it, and can shoot it well and accurately. I think I am going to get another G19 and give it another try.

Is it some rule or torture test on this forum that these (insert description of choice here> threads are mandatory every few days?

 

[Titanium Man]

Yes..............please next time ask a hard question.

lol....if that was the truth they would be carrying some pakistan built gun or the like.
I cant believe police stations only buy the weapons they use merely because they are cheap.

They do stake their lives on the reliability of their weapons.

 

[RBrianHarless]

I don't like Glocks. I love them....Now to the next Glock Thread...

 

[pirate]

Ill take all of your crappy glocks off your hands at a heavily discounted price. Just say when.

You can't go wrong with a Glock! I've had mine since '01, only one failure ever, and I induced it. They're not picky about ammo. Put some night sights, an extended slide release, and a plug in the grip; you'll be good to go.
