re: Why do people like Glocks?

I'm with you on the "no pistol in that situation" camp.
I am carrying a .44 mag revolver on each hip, and a lever carbine in .44 mag on my saddle.

I used to compete with a G19 and a G21. I would shoot hundreds of rounds a week for several years. I can count on one hand the number of malfunctions I had. Glocks just plain work.

My only issue is them still using plastic sights.
The grip angle has never bothered me even though my first handgun was an M9.

which Glock do you CC? I really wish they had a better safety mechanism for the gun.

Above all else they are reliable!! I have 3 and love them all. They all fit my hands well and I’m more accurate with the Glock than any other semi-auto I’ve shot. They may not be pretty but I don’t carry or own guns based on the looks.

There are several manufacturers offering striker-fired polymer handguns with or without safeties if that's a concern, and several of them have proven to be so reliable (as are Glocks) that malfunctions are statistical noise. I'd look at the M&P line but they're not the only option.

I really like Canik Pistols as well

because they heard it in a song or heard someone else talk about it

I don't have one either, but this is why they are so popular from what I've read.

I think the Turks have a winner with these. We have sold a ton of them. I have a couple. Triggers are really good and they shoot well.

Typical HK response
No safety on the VP9
I have a few Glocks. They shoot great.
GarandThumb did a test a on a bunch of pistols a couple of weeks ago.
Torture test. Drop in the mud and step on it.
Glock didn't fare well.
Surprisingly (to me as lest) the S&W M&P won.
The M&P also won the freeze test he did.

Oh, no doubt. I carry a Ruger. It's comparable on reliability. I just wanted to know if there was anything else that makes the Glocks stand out.
I agree, I just can't get with the grip angle (I know its probably fixable easy) but never had a pistol not fire on me that was made by Ruger, Sig, and HK. Now I dont throw my pistols in the frozen mud routinely and shoot them with ice in the barrel, so Glock wins there.
That being said, I think every gun owner should own a Glock just because, why not.

You didn't say what use you have for a handgun (hunting, plinking, etc.) But if it's for self-defense, you've already answered your own question:

what are the upsides to them other than simple reliability?
I can't think of anything that would be even remotely as important in relation to a weapon than reliability. To me the only thing that could draw away from that would be extreme cost.

Ive been carrying a G19 or a G43 daily now for like 7 years. They conceal great, I shoot them well, and I know they will go bang.
I cant easily conceal carry my Staccato P...... Yet

The Rival has the best trigger on a striker pistol I have ever shot.
When do you guys expect to receive the Rival-S??

It is the 4 cyl toyota tacoma of handguns.
And that's why I trust my life to them.
My 1911s are more fun to shoot. More comfortable. More accurate. Tighter. Smoother. And much more complicated...

I don't like that either, but it's also easily remedied. I put Glock OEM tritium sights on my G26.
