My first Glock

[GunsNstuff]

I have shot and owned several guns over the years but somehow never owned or fired or even held in my hand a Glock pistol. When they came out I thought they were ugly. Real guns had external hammers. Anyway, I bought my first Glock, a G23 (3rd gen), brand new and I absolutely love it. I always thought you Glock guys were a little too in love with the brand name, but I do understand now. That G23 points so naturally and fast. It is the most comfortable gun I have ever held. I have actually been liking the looks of them for some time now but now that I have one it is really a beautiful gun.

I am rarely this impressed with anything. It shoots very tight groups to the left of whatever I aim at, so I need to adjust the sights when i get the tool for that but i could not be happier with the pistol.

Welcome to the Glock family. I feel the same way about my G26.

Glocks, once you shoot them... you wont go back

Welcome to the club, but be careful because they multiply!

I don't believe you! Everyone knows that all Glocks make it feel like you're holding a 2X4, have an unnatural grip angle and ALWAYS shoot low and left!


But congrats on the new Glock anyway!

Don't adjust your sights! Let me guess, you are right handed. It is common to see police officers with their sights pushed to one side because they don't use proper trigger control. It is almost always NOT the gun. hopefully more people will chime in and confirm what I am saying here, but I will almost guarantee it is the shooter and not the sights.

BTW welcome to INGO and congrats on the Glock. Welcome to the dark side, our koolade is better

Welcome to the Glock side....we have been expecting you.

I've got to admit, I've drank from the Glock Koolaid too. I love my new Glock 26.

Drinkin' the Glock Kool-aid...sweet!

Besides Ruger's...I've owned more Glocks (7) than any other brand of pistol. They do have a fast, natural fit to the hand, and point naturally! 1911'a are great guns...but for a semi-automatic, I prefer a Glock!

Congradulations.....and welcome to the dark side!

Congratulations on your first Glock! ...it wont be your last!

Oh, yeah, and don't drift your sights just yet. Put a couple thousand rounds or five through the pistol and, somehow, your sights will drift themselves (must be from all those rounds going down range or something ). It's pretty incredible how much better my pistols shoot now than they did when I got them.

Somewhere on the internet there's a target chart that can help diagnose trigger control, grip, and associated targeting issues. If you do any research at all you should be able to find it ...or it might somehow magically appear in this thread later.

Congrats!!! Love the G23!

First time I had my Glock 27 out I was shooting a bit left. A little trigger finger adjustment and I'm hitting my point of aim. I LOVE my Argentinian Colt 1927 (1911) but for carry it would be the Glock.

Congrats and welcome! Like others, I own more Glocks than any other brand; I'm up to 5 now (17, 19, 22 & 2 model 21) and I don't see the number stopping there!

Once you go Black you never go back.

Just got back from putting a quick 100 through my G26.
Never had an auto handgun that I could shoot better.
Enjoy your Glock!

The Glock Kool-Aid is yummy.. been drinking it almost 20 years now!

Great guns. Hard to beat them for out of the box accuracy, reliability, and effectiveness.

Gaston Glock had never designed a handgun before the Glock 17; he didn't know that guns were supposed to fail. So he made one that didn't.
