My Son drank the Kool-Aid

[Rookie]

It would be better if you would have said Hk.

 

[bluto67]

only shot an hk usp once. nice feel to the gun and grouped good too. i'm thinking about picking up a police trade in.

 

[cositc]

The police trade-ins that I have seen on the out side look like crap but on the in side where perfect.

Glock's are A.W.E.S.O.M.E...at least he picked a good gun! There are several excellent brands of guns out there...but comfort, beauty, and value are always in the eye of the beholder!

Just to be fair, my wife picked a S&W M&P 9c over a Glock 26...go figure! If she's happy...I'm happy!

 

[gunman41mag]

He is 14 and none of you guys are helping...lol He did ask me if I was upset that he choose Glock over my S&W.

I told him no, he can have his preferences without hurting my feelings. It did make me feel good that he was concerned for my opinion though. What a great son!

Now he needs to see the light, let him shoot a 1911

My favorite part of this is guys saying that plastic is for toys but will recommend H&K like it's the 2nd coming of Christ.


Congrats to you on showing your son how to shoot and letting him formulate his own opinion....grats to your boy for a love of shooting! Those Glocks will last a long long time despite what a few haters may think.

My son Josiah has drank the Glock Kool-Aid! I can't believe my son has fallen in love with a Glock! He shot a 40 cal Glock 23 today and he instantly liked it...help us!

I'm sorry for your loss... Lol.

Shot a Glock once, didn't care for it, don't like the grip, doesn't feel right to me.
If I'm going plastic I used to want an SR9 until I picked up an M&P...

 

[derrickgoins]

Good for you. Let the Glock haters hate - the important thing is that you got your son out to shoot, he liked it, and he made his own decision on what he likes. I agree with DustyDawg48, letting him formulate his own opinion is full of win!

By the way, I have 2 M&P's & a Glock :-)

 

[OiRadio47]

my glock 22 was an unreliable turd. it couldn't shoot the groups my sig does even on it's best day. plastic is for toys. glocks are like the mustang of the gun world, they are adequate to get an introduction into the shooting world, but need alot of aftermarket support to be on par with the better choices out there. how's that for my third post douche.

Glock AND Mustang envy? You are too awesome. Dont be jealous that the Mustang outsells the Camaro 10:1. Dont worry, the Mustang will put the Camaro out of production yet again. Give it a few years.

 

[japartridge]

I never siad anything about plastic... just don't care for the Glocks... seem clunky to me, but again, just my opinion.

 

[TomN]

How 'bout costing 3-4 times what its worth. I'm not calling it cheap, just massively over-priced.

I thought we were talking about Glocks not HKs?

Kudos to you, sir, for letting your son get some trigger time and for letting him have his own opinion. Education is the best way to teach some firearms safety, and a huge step towards responsibility in a growing child.

I love Glocks, I've had the mix of brands, fired all sorts of firearms, and put more rounds down range than some small countries. Each weapon has its own feel, and its a huge plus that he's finding his comfort zone, identifying what he shoots more comfortably than another.

Keep up the instruction, and don't worry about the Glock barrel, it'll be just fine.

 

[TomN]

put a Sig in his hand. a Sig will out live all of us when that glock barrel will be shot out in a couple of years.

And you've personally shot out how many Glock barrels?

 

[tv1217]

I've got a Glock 27 and an HK USP, what do I win?

 

[karodger]

haters gonna hate. +1 for getting him out and letting him form his own opinion. Personally I love my Glock 23. Most reliable gun I've ever owned. Wouldn't trade it for anything. That being said, every manufacturer puts out lemons. Quality control can't catch everything. Those who base their opinions of a company on 1 gun they've owned are foolish. I know some people are unlucky and get several lemons but you see that from every company. Everyone is going to have slightly different preferences. +1 for not trying to force him in any direction.

glock barrels get "shot out" after 50,000 or so rounds... because we actually go shoot them instead of posting on the internet about other people's guns...

this.....I shoot my glock every time I go out to shoot, my USP hasn't seen a range in over a year

 

[sshelton]

Woo another for the dark side!

 

[bman1962]

I have only shot one glock and was disappointed. I don't think that is enough to condemn the entire line of glocks.
I THINK IT'S AWESOME YOU ARE TAKING YOUR SON OUT SHOOTING AND SPENDING TIME WITH HIM!!!
I say buy him his own Glock!

You should give your USP to me.
