I bought my first Glock today and I hope they live up to their name, I was looking for a good semi auto handgun that was affordable,accurate and reliable so far it was reasonably priced but havent shot it yet but hoping to next week! I have been looking at handguns for the past few weeks and from other friends and family I decided to go with the Glock 40 caliber! Im also new to this site and will be nice talking with some of you more experienced gun owners
Glocks are great guns. For best results on your first range trip, make sure to give it a quick cleaning and lubrication prior to firing it for the first time (check the instruction manual under "cleaning" for details).
The subcompact Glocks are fairly amazing; they shoot almost as well as the full-size models, and in some cases actually seem to kick/bounce less than the larger guns! I know I ran several defensive-style courses of fire back-to-back with a G26 and a G19, and more than once my time with the G26 was significantly better, with the same solid hits from both guns. They'll never be contenders in Bullseye target shooting or a handgun beauty contest, but the baby Glocks are hard to beat for their intended purpose.
keep those friends and family around forever they definitely steered you in the right direction. i have glock 9mm, 40, 10mm, and 45 and all work perfect. all my glocks are on my never sell list!
