Yep-Glock 23
70% of the handgun owners on this forum own a Glock....that is an amazing number.
Hey, Shipwreck....Do you own a Glock?...don't be afraid...you can tell us...we won't think any less of you!

if you are amazed that 70% of the responders to a glock poll in a glock thread own a glock, you are easily amazedQuote:

My husband bought a G21 and that was the first Glock I ever shot. Didn't do too badly with it, but it didn't feel quite right in my hands, I didn't feel like I had much control over it. I somehow got it set in my mind that I wanted a 9mm pistol. I went to firearms dealer and happen to go on a Glock competition weekend. One of the guys asked me why I wanted the gun. I told him that for the time being (over a year ago), it would be mainly for target and maybe a home self defense gun. I did tell him though that I might want to get my CCW and wouldn't want to get a different gun. He took me immediately to the Glocks and pulled out a Gen 3 G19. I knew as soon as I picked it up that it fit better in my hands and that I could get a good grip on it. I have had a few occasions where I have stove piped it or FTE but it was due to my limpwristing it. Now that I have a solid grip and stance, I RARELY have any problems with it. As a matter of fact I qualifed for my CPL class with it today. I am a strong believer that no matter what gun you choose, if you don't like the way it feels in your hands, you're not going to shoot it well. Whether it's a Glock, Kimber, Bersa, S&W, whatever. So with that in mind, make sure you go and hold a lot of guns before you buy any. I don't like the Gen 4 Glocks because I think the grip is too "prickly" and it hurts my hands. Happy shooting and good luck with whatever you decide!!!!
And as for the other 30% of you slackers, I got you covered... :mrgreen:Quote:

Some of the aftermarket companies make barrels for the shorter guns that are as long as the full-size guns' barrels, but they use the same lockup lug as the short guns' stock barrels to make this work; these longer barrels can't be safely used in the full-size guns themselves. Of course the shorter-than-normal barrels aren't safe for use in the longer slides of the larger guns.
And then there are the differences like balance, sight radius, minor differences in the location of the "hump" on the rear of the grip which changes the "feel" of the gun in your hand; LOTS of reasons to actually collect the different size guns/frames. Add in the different frame gripping surfaces and finger-groove options (Gen1, Gen2, Gen3, Gen3 RTF-2, Gen4), and they're worse than potato chips; no one can have just one!
I am an older Combat Veteran and have been a pistoleer (including revolvers) most of my adult life I find I am into more old school pistols like Colt, Walther, Luger and Sig Sauer. However, I carry a Glock 36 as my PPW and I love to shoot my Clock 17 at the range. Folks, that should tell you something.

I have a Glock 19 Gen3. Don't love the feel. Didn't like the factory sights (replaced them with the Advantage Tactical pyramid). Still working on getting good with the trigger.
But it's been 100% reliable with minimal maintenance, and it shoots where I point it.
G19 was my first handgun. 5000 rounds and never ever gone wrong.
Just now saw this.Quote:

The RTF2 was the last one I had. I did like some of the changes, but I got sick of getting hit in the forehead with ejected brass no matter what I had done to the gun. I also prefer DA/SA guns, so I sold it to but something else.
The very first G17 I bought in 1993 was my first gun. It was a super lemon that jammed all the time. Even sent it back to Glock once. Had a smith look at it too. G19 was okay, but the G19 and G26 - I always shot it low and left. It wasn't until I got the G34 a few years later that I had a Glock I could shoot well.
The stock trigger was 1 lb lighter, and apparently that was enough to solve my low/left problem with a Glock. But, when I got really into the P99, I got sick of the mushy Glock trigger and sold the G34.
I have zero plans to ever buy another Glock. Sorry
It's weird....I like to look at Glocks and read about them but I have no desire to own one. No doubt they are excellent handguns but there are other handguns I'd rather pick-up at the $450-$600 price point.
I am going to be picking one of these bad boys up very soon. I like the fact that Glock is a reliable gun and that you can find parts for them everywhere. I will be getting either a 19 or 17 in 9mm sometime in the next week or two depending on the deals that I find.
I don't own a Glock and do not plan on purchasing one.
My G31 is nails. Looking forward to picking up an FDE Gen 4 G19.
I change my want to..to yes !!
Glock 19 ..
I don't know what took me so long ..
