Guess Im a glock guy now

[Barry]

I've gone to the G19 from an old fashioned 1911 guy for over 4 decades.
It took a while but I got the mechanics in place and I shoot it pretty well . They're Excellent, dependable, and comfortable to conceal.
I did figure out one major thing.
These damned buttugly Glocks are what started the OC/CC debate. They're so ugly you make up all kinds of excuses for them.

If you'd told me 3 years ago that I would ever own a Glock, I wouldn't have believed you....

Like you I wouldn't have even considered switching over. The Gen 4 has a better grip angle for old 1911 guys like me. I no longer have to aim at the knee cap to bust your belly button at 5 yards.
OC= open carry, CC = concealed carry.

Knee cap...funny (I did LOL). Unfortunately, I've gotten used to the Glock grip angle. I was playing with a CM40 that I really liked, but after getting used to the Glock I find that if I try to shoot without looking at the sights I'm way low

Same with me. 3 things convinced me. Simplicity, weight, and the trigger. I have yet to find a striker fired handgun which beats the glock in all three categories.

Yeah, the trigger isn't GREAT, but it's the same every time. It's not bad and it can be tweaked easily enough. That was one of the things I loved about the P7. I had a P220 for a while but didn't like the double action to single action transition.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Of course not, what people do on their own time is their own business........

You need to pick a platform for self defense and conceal carry and STICK WITH IT!!!

 

[jacobswell]

At one point I was anti Glock carrying only Sigs and HKs. When my dept switched to Glock I didn't have a choice. Now I like them but i'll never admit it.

I bought my first Glock back in (I think) 1993. It was a Glock 19 and 15 rounds of 9mm in a gun that size back then was quite a feat. Since then I have had a pistol from every major manufacturer and several of the smaller ones. I have always came back to Glock and have gotten rid of just about everything else. The simplicity, ruggedness, simple manual of arms, and ease of maintenance is what kept me carrying a Glock for all these years.
To the OP I say welcome aboard the Glock bandwagon. Your pistol will serve you well for decades to come.

I don't know. The US Army Special Forces have been using the Glock 19 for a while now. It may just be a special ops thing. I don't see the Army going Glock unless Glock builds them with a thumb safey. I think they can, but it's not common at all.

Don't forget the Rangers too

We're all coming out of the closet. I started with a G22, moved to a G27 then realized I added an extension. I went and got a G19, and can't seem to put it down. I do find myself spreading the EDC love to the others out of guilt.

 

[Giddaltti]

Saying "I guess I am a Glock guy now" is almost like saying "I think I'm gay"... Its just a bad look all the way around.

We must be coming out. I started with a G22, then a G27 and realized why am I adding an extension. EDC is now a G19, and I can't put it down. I take the others out once in awhile out of guilt.

Glock = Gay?

Congrats and welcome to the club.
Although, I am getting a little sick and tired of brass weakly ejecting at five-o-clock...

 

[Who Dares Wins]

Welcome! Glocks, Sigs and Para's are my favorites!

BTF is probably my biggest Glock complaint.
