Just got into researching, trying out and selecting handguns within the last year. All I read at first and heard from lots of people was "get a glock". Once I held my second one I knew they weren't for me, which was a great relief because all along I thought they were kinda ugly. They just don't feel good in some hands, alot of glock peeps cant even comprehend that, lol. Now after getting my third handgun, a CZ P-01, I really know that I'll never have a glock.

DON'T AND WONT!!! Shot my buddies mod 27 in 45acp and i thought i was shooting a brick. If i ever decide to buy an ugly plastic gun i'll buy a Hi-Point at a third of the cost and i wont feel so bad when i chunk it off a bridge in to a lake.
Um, I believe that the Hi-Point is zinc, not plastic.
(It'd probably work even better, if it were all-plastic.)
zinc, plastic, pot metal, slag from a hot glue gun. makes no diff to me i wouldnt hesitate to throw either one off a bridge.Quote:

I like all my pistols, or else I wouldn't have bought them. My Glock 17 is my nightstand gun.
No plans to get one.
If for some reason I thought I needed another ploymer striker pistol, I'd probably get a M&P.
I'm shocked! Shocked, I say!Quote:

Am I correct? Could that be true?
Heavens to Murgatroyd!
:anim_lol: :anim_lol: :anim_lol:
(I don't own either one, due to their extreme lack of any ęsthetic quality, but I understand that they do work...at least, in the case of the Hi-Point, for a while.)
your assumption would be very dead on.
if you don't really want a gun but feel that you might need one for home defence, why spend all that cash on a pistol that you hope to never use. Hi-Point is the ticket! me on the other hand want the robber comming thru the window to think my god that is one sexy pistol as he catches a 9mm hp in the pelvisQuote:

I love the Glock! I was fortunate enough to shoot various models while in the Marine Corps aside from the Glocks (Beretta's, s&W M&P's, other S&W's), and the Glocks are my favorite so far. I do not currently own one, but soon hope to buy a 27 for appendix carry this summer. I shot a 23 and XD .40 a few weeks ago; boy do I like them both! I was still slightly favored the Glock...but aside from the 3 manufactures I mentioned, I have little experience with other brands.
I still slightly*
Voted no.
I can appreciate Glock's durability and reliability. That being said, I just don't like the grip angle.
Had one (G21SF), didn't really like it. Wife has s. G19. Great guns, just not my cup of coffee.
Tried several over the years but they did not feel right was not comfortablr to carry and just plain mud ugly.
Glocks are great guns in my opinion, very reliable, different magazine capacity options depending on the state you live in, easy to conceal depending on the model, comes in all sizes, shoots accurate, it looks good and did I mention very reliable. Glocks are the "black belts" :numbchuck: when it comes to guns.
I have one, a 21C. I have huge hands and it feels great. Not real impressed with it's looks, but there are times when function trumps form.
They're not for everybody. Usually those with more than average firearms experience like them.
Tried the Glocks out when I was shooting with friends. Never found one I liked or one that liked me. I have 5 revolvers and 4 Autos. I am in the market for another auto. It won't be a Glock. My friends like them so I say good for them but I like steel guns.
I have a glock 26 and that little gun has really impressed me! For a small gun it is very easy to shoot accurately, even with +P loadings. I've only shot the gun about 600-700 times but have never had a failure to fire or eject. The glock 26 is really fun to shoot, and I'm thinking about buying some glock 17 magazines for my 26. And, many of my favorites guns are ugly :)
