i was in a pawn shop today just looking around.they had 4 pistols and i asked to see the glock.
which turned out to be a glock 22.i have no glocks and never even held one until today.
the grip was so blocky and uncomfortable to me i could hardly believe it.i guess i know now why i dont own any.
along w/reasons like plastic sights and plastic guide rods.i know there supposed to be very reliable,but i don't see how they manage it. i hope some of the other models are a lot more comfortable.
I second that. I did not like Glocks the 1st time I picked one up. That was 7 Glocks ago(still have 4). People will adapt, once I fired one I found it easy to manage recoil, meaning quicker follow up shots and they were easy to keep on target. If you are talking about a 4" combat or tactical group, it is not a problem with a Glock.
You might change your mind after you fire one, just keep an open mind.
You'll be very surprised on what Glock have to offer.
The VERY first thing I look at before purchasing a pistol is the grip. If it doesn't feel comfortable then, you should check out an Hk P2000 or some of the Sig models. "Different strokes for different folks", they say.
I find that very interesting. Perhaps it's me, but I found the G22 to be a perfect fit for my hand. I do have fairly large hands, but didn't feel that was part of it.
When I shoot it feels like a perfect extension, easy to hold and easy to bring back on target.

yes, the grip is the reason i decide weather it will or wont work for me .i own a sig 239 and xd 40 cal and find them very comfortable, in fact i shoot 40 cal s&w rounds the best and with hardly much recoil with my xd over any gun.:smt023
The feel of the Glock in one's hand is a funny thing. I had a strange thing happen to me. I hate the way the 21 feels in my hand. But when I went out to shoot it anyway... it felt fine. Great, actually. So the grips are a strange thing.
Either that or Mike has finally brainwashed me. :anim_lol:
I shot a 1911 for almost twenty years before I changed to Glock. Of course the Glock felt unnatural at first, but I was committed to the gun, and after some shooting it felt perfectly fine.
The Glock just has a combination of features that was hard for me to ignore, so maybe it was just that I really wanted to make it work. But now I shoot my Glocks as well as I used to shoot a 1911, and as far as I am concerned, it's objective results that count, at least in a defense gun.
I fought the glock for a long time because it was plastic. After reading about them I finally broke down and bought one of the ugly bastards. It sure wasn't love at first site. It was love at first shot and then I loved the looks. I bought my glock 17 sometime in the mid 80's and still have it. I have my Dad's 1911 that means a lot to me and my 2 boys want the 17 when I pass. I own 4, the 17, 26, 30 and 21c. I like having the 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation. I'll have to get another one when a 4th gen comes out.
maybe ill try shooting one later.i think i would only be interested in the 27 though.
i just have a hard time getting to trust a gun w/so much plastic in it though. especially a plastic guide rod.
You have and endless supply of aftermarket equipment. I have stainless guide rods with reduced weight springs for a softer shooter with a little extra weight in the front.
Stainless guide rod and spring about $25, but the plastic captured OEM glock guide rod will last you forever. It is a Glock.:smt023
