Glock .... Still the best - Page 25

I like my HK45 better because I can change the grip to fit my hand instead of "making do" Can't argue that the Glocks work just don't fit my hand like the HK.

After messing with 1911s for 30+ years and getting so familiar with that grip angle, the Glock grip angle can point high.
But, seems I always end up with Glock or two in my collection. I do add some custom parts, but the work as they should, the grip starts to feel fine after awhile, and they are fun to shoot.

I will always have at least one Glock on hand.

I recently picked up a 21SF and was amazed with the soft recoil. The grip does feel better however im having a problem with the mag release. Sometimes it gets stuck to one side. I have figured out if you apply pressure to the bottom of the magazine when you eject a fully loaded mag it works like its suppose to.

That is a problem with the ambi release on the 21sf. It needs to be repaired, the mag release in mine eventually fell out the gun. Contact Glock to have them ship the parts to a Glock armorer or make arraignments to send it back to them. This is a well known issue with the new ambi release.

If I had known about this before I purchased mine I would not have done so. I have no confidence in the pistol. I am just waiting for the release to fall back out of it even after it being repaired.

wow what a firestorm. i own and shoot just about everything (Walther,Sig,hk,s&w,kel tec,at one point beretta,Taurus,colt and fn) but when the stuff hits the fan or i am going out with the family the glock is on my side (one of the many i own, but the g20 10mm is the fav). all can argue but the gun that functions under stress and you can hit a target with using cover is the best and i found out a long time ago that was glock for me . the gun is ugly (yes i called it) but it functions with any ammo i feed them and nothing to get caught on or things i need to press/flip or anything to make it function. i thing the glock is the AK-47 of handguns, ugly and may not out shoot some of the costume guns but fires all the time no matter what. just my 2 cents

For those who have been seeing this type of thread over and over, I love the response of glocktoys. This is not a fanboy response, but a reasoned one. glocktoys, may your tribe increase.

thanks i know no matter what you say about any brand gun there is haters and lovers. i am asked all the time "i know you know about guns what do you think of this one (fill in model and brand here)" my response is always the same, shoot one. did it fit your hand? did it line up on target where you pointed it? did it function? did you hit the target? can you afford it? will you be able to operate it under stress or injured? if all questions are answered yes then that is a great gun for you.

What does it matter? I have my guns, they work for me. You have yours, they work for you. Can't we all just get along?

That's the EXACT reason I carry a G19. IMO, most reliable, easiest to shoot, easy to carry semi auto handgun around

You either like a Glock or you don't I was a dedicated Colt .45 man of the 70's and 80's. Then a Smith and Wesson gun of the month member of the late 80's early 90's, got a Sig 226 and thought I had it all, then shot a 1st gen G-17 one day, then somebody showed me their Police Issue G-19 in Tacoma Wa, in 1991, that was it, the Glock bug bit me hard, the rest of the 90's till today its been all Glock City.
