IS GLOCK A MENTAL THING? HELP ME...

[3point5]

I hated glocks...for a long time.

Then I shot one, now I have one. Mind you, I just shot the one for the first time the end of november...and Ill be picking up my second, maybe third here in the next few weeks.

Oh, and people actually sell their guns??

look it is a mind over matter issue. if you dont mind then it really dosent matter.

I think Glocks are OK, I am just really put off by the cult-like attitude many of their owners seem to take on.

I love glocks but the cult-like attitude for glocks dosn't seem worse than the 1911 club , the HK club , the AR club , the AK club , or any other GREAT guns fan club. That most of us are life time members of at lest 2 or 3 maybe all of them.

 

[El-Cigarro]

I have a G23, Love it. I have a Colt Combat Commander, Love it.

You Sir, have EXCELLENT taste!

 

[El-Cigarro]

NO: not calling any GLOCK an "OOOORAH" gun.

But it's "Gunny Approved"!

I owned and loved Glocks, had a G22 and G19. Made decision to pare down to only 9mm so traded the G22 for a speed six revolver and kept the 9mm. Then decided I made a mistake trading the .40 cal and went to trade the G19 back for the G22. However, I was side tracked to an FNP .40. Way better feel in my hand but I still love the Glock. I wonder why I (and other's are so biased toward Glocks when there are many other good options)? I bought the FNP and here is opinion; it is by far a much better looking gun. That means little since I like the Glock's uglyness. But, the FNP feels better, shoots better, and breaks down better. However, I still want a glock but I don't know why. I suspect other glock lovers feel the same. I currently don't own a glock and am wanting to buy one just to have one even tho I really like the FNP, SR, XD, and MP. Thinking of buying a 9mm so my dilemma is buy glock just to have one or be open minded about my next purchase. Funny thing is I don't need a 9mm. Maybe I just need a Glock....HELP!

I own one, so far. The Mod. 23. Would like to get a few more magazines for it, as well as nite-sites, and maybe a set of those slip-on grips.....

For me, it is the combination of the simplicity w/ the ready-to-go aspect at a reasonable price point. I love the fit, feel, handling, and aesthetics 1911s, but at the time I bought my first Glock there were relatively few 1911s available for <$700 that were ready for carry without needing upgrades to improve the reliability. For that price in a Glock, I could get night sights, holster, mags, and mag carrier and still have money left for ammo.

FWIW, I think Springfield one-upped Glock in the ready-to-go space when they decided to include the extras with their XD pistol. Just cannot get myself to switch, however.

 

[ruger1800]

Have switched to the XD more better pistol IMHO.

I only laugh at the OP's first post because I felt nothing but panic and excitement over guns and loving them.

That's why we love bein' American.

And if you're controversial with the Glock hype... I have a few quick questions for you.

Do you enjoy and prefer...
- Starbucks
- LA Fitness
- Apple computers
- iPhones
- Cadillacs

....this is just a test.

 

[Piston]

Unless you're in a pinch, there's no reason to sell guns. If you want a Glock, then put some money aside and buy one again, but don't sell it!

 

[Jason1508]

Ive got a glock 19C and glock 17C and love them both!

Pick one tool and master it. Put your money in training.

Held a Glock

I have shot and held several glocks and I don't like the feel. I think it is just personal preference.

Do you enjoy and prefer...
- Starbucks NO-No coffee or Lattes
- LA Fitness NO-Work is exercise
- Apple computers NO-Uhh, regular Windows PC
- iPhones NO-Old style phone, but not rotary
- Cadillacs NO-Chevy

....this is just a test.

Good reason not to like them. Find one that feels right.

Who cares what others think. Go with what you want and what you like.

Just close your eyes, click your heels together 3 times, and say; there are OTHER guns than glock, there are other guns than glock... REPEAT as needed ...
