Me and my Glock addiction

[churchmouse]

As per the Glock tagline, they very nearly ARE perfect. The ONLY time I`ve personally witnessed a Glock malfunction was when a shooter "limp-wristed" the pistol when shooting. And as per the OP, I love the simplicity, and the proven reliability of these wonderful pistols. They`re a snap to disassemble, and danged if they don`t always go bang when I pull the trigger.

Well they are not perfect as nothing man made ever is. (oh you said nearly.....Oops)
Not to start an argument as that is not my intent here.
I have seen a few burp/fart/go sideways. Seen 1911's and CZ's have issues as well.
None are near perfect.

I have one, the MOS sight is what I like about it.

I have several glocks, I like them ok they're not my favorite but for the price they're hard to beat. If I wasn't so heavily invested in glock, glock parts I may have bought a different brand like M&P

Glocks hate the mouse. I can prove it.
I prefer the P-09 CZ as the ergonomics fit me a lot better than the G***k does. Points up better for me and the G***k trigger is horrid. I realize they can be improved. I have seen more than a few G***ks have issue as I have 1911's and CZ's.
The CZ had a poopy trigger as well but it has been improved and is so much better than an enhanced G***k with near the same work

In the end it is all in what you like.

Haters gonna hate.

I've had many different handguns: 1911s, CZs, SCCYs. I can't even remember them all, but I've had a G19 three separate times. I know them inside and out and I shoot them really well. 1911s are my favorite but I shoot my 19 the best. So that's what I carry.

I wonder how many Glock "failures" are due to poor maintenance or dodgy modifications. Even though there are hundreds of after-market parts for Glocks, how many of them go through the same reliability trials or quality control as Glock parts?

Good questions. I`ve never modified or changed out anything on my Glocks, they`re all stock, and I`ve had zero issues ever.

Just bought my first glock like a month ago. And i like the feel compared to the taurus i had. Totally different. Plus mags are cheaper.

No doubt there are guns of every make and model and description that have issues from the manufacturer from time to time. That`s when the customer service of the manufacturer either shines, or makes them look bad. Since I`ve had no issues with Glocks, I only have to imagine that their customer service must be pretty good. I`ve returned a Ruger SP101 once and Ruger was WONDERFUL in their response time and customer service. I`ll tell anyone and everyone how fantastic Ruger`s service and support has been for me.

1911s are my absolute favorite and I shoot them best of any handgun I've ever held.
However, I carry a Glock 19 'cause I don't want to wear suspenders to carry my 1911s with a bunch of extra mags.

I started out with Glocks and am heavily invested in them and the necessary accessories (parts, mags, holsters and carbines), but I shoot my FNs more. Except for the EDC 17.

Ruger CS is top shelf.
Springfield is Top shelf
Never needed CZ
's CS so I am not able to comment.

 

[Blindside]

Worst customer service I have run into was with EAA. Springfield wasnt very helpful when I called them but they weren't rude about it.

 

[hps]

Love the 1911 its by far my favorite.
EDC a Kahr CM9,,This is a great pocket carry 9!!
If SHF and I was gonna grab a handgun its gonna be the first one thats available. If I had to choose a handgun it would definitely be a Glock***ANY GLOCK!! prefer a 17.

 

[BJones]

The addiction is caused by, they sprinkle cocaine on them in the factory.

 

[Trigger Time]

GLOCK's are my favorite. Why? Because they work.
I don't care if another gun is a piece of art, if it doesn't work 100% then I'll never get it out of my head and it will be gone.

glocks are awesome

Funny, now that I think about it, the only and guns I've ever bought with my own money have all been Glocks. I got some hand me downs from other brands. I think I'd like to get a 1911, but I've always hated the debate over their reliability.

Of the half dozen or so that I've owned, I've never had any failures of any kind. I supposed my sample size is just less than others.

My Glock infatuation is slowly disappearing. I've had up to 6 at once and tried to love the G19. Bought two of them convinced that I'd come to love the guns but ended up selling both. I still have 3 and I do love the simplicity in them. I don't know that I'll ever sell my G21sf but I used to think the same thing about my G23 but I've found that a CZ makes a much better platform for launching .40 slugs. My G30sf will probably be sold this spring and then when the P10C in .40 shows up this summer, the G23 will go too. They are a good pistol but over time my tastes have changed and I much prefer the CZ platform along with the 1911 for the bulk of the collection. I'll keep the G21 though as I have yet to find something with that capacity and yet in a weight that can be carried.

I really fell in love the 1911 after I bought my first. Felt good in my hand and decided I wanted one. That was a mistake, they have multiplied fairly quickly. Glocks on the other hand never felt that good to me. My brother just bought a 19 a short time back. I was able to shoot it last weekend. I just didn't care for it, honestly don't think I will ever own one.
