Oh I'm all in. I three! The Glock 17/19 Gen4 and the Glock 42. I also have a CZ-75B and the new HK VP9, but I'm still a Glock fan. I'll get the Glock 41 soon, and probably a G22 and the 19 in FDE. They're just hard to beat. In fact, nothing can beat a Glock. Others may prefer to carry another brand, but there isn't anything made that "beats" the Glock. Price, quality, reliability, safety, accuracy, and sheer simplicity. Nothing beats it.
I have owned almost 80% of all glocks made since 1991 when I got my first model 19 but to date I have a gen 4 model 21 and 17 and they by far are the best yet especially the 17!!
My favorite two calibers would have to be .45 and .40. Like them both. But have another question - just found out this weekend when a young man - who looked very much like a gang banger - was renting a Glock 17 at the range and asked if it was configured for full auto. Have to say, I was a little concerned, surprised, and finally, intrigued. Wasn't aware that Glock had taken this route, but should have known the capability existed. I have fired a full-auto Beretta when I visited their Italian factory several years ago. It was cool in theory, but in practice, but found it totally impractical and absolutely uncontrollable. Saw a youtube of a young man shooting a 10mm on full auto - almost knocked him down. Hearing this discussion from this particular young man, actually unsettled me. Did a bit of research and found that the conversion isn't very complex and can be done rather quickly. Not sure I understand the utility of this conversion, or the need. Interested in what others think.
I rented a G23 gen3 and didn't really like shooting it. It was no where as easy as my Ruger SR40C.... However I bought a G19 gen4 and love shooting that. Using it for NRA Marksmanship course. Will start carrying it in rotation as soon as holster arrives.
The G-20 was designed specifically for the 10mm chambering, and I like 10mm for a 'woods gun.' While not a huge Glock fan, their durability and accuracy are undeniable, and those are the two things I wanted, in this case. I have consistently hit smallish targets beyond 50 yards with this pistol, and even though it feels like holding a 2x4 block of wood, I shoot it as well as I shoot some of my favorite pistols, maybe even better.
I can't say that I've shot more than the 9mm and the .45. My 9mm was very accurate and easy to shoot. My G21 is like the big brother to the 9mm so that has to be my favorite.

You make it sound or imply that Glock is somehow promoting their firearms to gangs. You scared to be associated by that ?
Where ya been brother, Glock is cult status and the bangers love the 'bling' you know what I mean. That side ways shoot was pimp in the movies with a Glock.
Anyway don't worry about it. They ain't buying 'em there stealing them. They are still all about cheap.
I will tell ya that I've rented the new Glock 41 - I am pretty impressed, and I don't really even care for Glocks much anymore.... It is tempting to get one

Almost the same story! One glock in 357 flavor, but I did buy a 9 and a 40 conversion barrel for it. The 9 is mainly for the range (and it ain't nothing but FUN)! Should have made this glock a 40 YEARS ago! So many times over easier to reload (as in homemade bullets)and shoot.
From my prospective glock 40's started out on the wrong foot due to glock barrels. Still don't have the best rep.in the hood! Now that I installed a KKM barrel, it's the setup that stays in the gun. The 357 is such a pain in the hut to reload that barrel is now "resting" on the "someday" shelf. As in someday I'm going to take that setup to the range and see if the new (untried 20bls. SS guide rod makes any difference in the way it shoots. Way too many other projects to get to first. Right now loading "new", to me, powders in 9's to replace 231 and AA-7

You have spent way too much time eating generic cheetos and watching tv in your mommys basement. There was no implication about glock promoting their products to anyone, let alone gangs. Why would anyone be scared to be associated with a brand of gun? They are all designed to put lead on target.

I hit auto restore on a quick reply and found this post that must be months old. I should have sent it to old Thateus when he could reply to it.:smt102
I do not see how anyone can associate a Glock with "bling". Maybe a fully engraved polished stainless or nickel plated semi auto with gold inlays and diamond encrusted grips.
