Help me understand the Glock hate
Posted on 2/17/13 at 7:59 pm

I never heard of this until I started reading this board. My Glock 19 was my first pistol purchase and still my only one at this point in time. I still like a lot of other guns and planned on buying many other pistols in years ahead. Where does all of this hate originate? Is it because of its polymer construction? Because it comes from Austria? Please help me understand this mindset....

The ergonomics leave much to be desired IMO.
Lots of people have trouble shooting them well.

I believe the favorite board analogy is a 2x4. I've felt a lot of 2x4s and a lot of Glocks and can't find the similarities.

People hated on them before I came along?

Exactly. The Safety will lock into place with too high of a grip. The beavertail will bite the webbing of your hand if it isn't increased and beveled. The internal extractor spring will fail to eject brass. The magazine angle has to be exact or it will not feed. The ejection port has to be flared in order to eject reliably. You have to be concerned with what brand of magazine you use, what type of bullet you shoot, how that bullet is shaped, and how much that bullet weighs.
Oh, wait that is the 1911. You don't have to worry about any of that on a Glock. Carry On...
