Alright glock fans. Bring your worst. Lets argue, bitch, cry, and moan about why glocks are or are not the best handguns on the market.

I'll go first. The feed ramp is cut too deep on a glock and gives up case support on the bottom back end and results in the magazine being blown out the bottom of the gun if a round goes slightly overpressure. Thus, I will not own a glock.

Never seen that happen to a Glock. And I've seen thousands upon thousands of rounds put through them.


Is that something with custom reloads?

Shot thousands of rounds through my G17.

Never had that happen even once. Only time that thing has refused to fire the next round was in the first 500 rounds breaking it in and not locking wrist I got a handful of stovepipes.

Other than that, I'm really sorry you don't like the geometry?

I pull he trigger and it goes boom every time there is a round chambered. Hell, I even hit the target a lot too.

Works for me.

I'll say it...

I do not like not having a safety

Why is that a question? The ergonomics are horrible.

A Glock feels like a 2X4 in my palm. It's ugly and clunky. But by God it goes "boom" everytime I pull the trigger.

I'm a S&W man, but if I needed a sidearm to take into war, it would be a Glock

I love the Glock. I would have bought it for my first gun except:

1. There's a premium to buy compared to others
2. It's not made of metal.

I can understand the argument that it is not the smoothest or sweetest shooting pistol. There are plenty of pistols that are smoother shooting.


I just can't understand any kind of argument what so ever against their reliability.

I think lots of gun accidents happen because people rely on the safety. Treat every gun as it is loaded and don't touch the trigger unless you are ready to shoot and the safety is not a problem. No different than a double action revolver. If the shite hits the fan, less things to worry about to make the gun go bang...
