Yes, they did everything asked of them and I don't mean to put Glocks down. The bottom line is that they are dependable, accurate, reliable and extremely durable handguns. I would feel adequately armed with one under any circumstances.

I just don't like the feel of them. The grip angle doesn't suit me and I just have an inborn aversion to plastic guns. That's a personal choice, not something against Glocks.

I also don't like the trigger/safety system in a Glock. For an inexperienced shooter who hasn't learned trigger finger control, they can be dangerous. I have read and heard of more ND's with Glocks than any other handgun. That is a user induced malfunction, not anything to do with the gun itself.

On a semi-auto I prefer an external safety of some kind. I feel that JMB's 1911 design is the best self-defense package ever created.

Once again, that's a personal choice, not any thing against Gaston's design.

I only wish everyone felt this way, the world would be so much better.

The reason's people don't like glocks its simple

Plastic

No soul

And the #1 that turned me off for a long time other glock owners not is a good sell everything you got at classic python nickel plated 357 its not worth what my glock is ...HUh?

i wanna be insulted ill stay at work

then glock marketing perfection yeah right ..

But i did finally buy one when i wanted to not when all the other glock people kept telling me to buy and i enjoy it but its not for everyone ..

Like some of the small guns don't interest me at all

And a website that will remain unnamed of people go there for info there even more turned off by the people there i was when i was trying to make a educated buy one a glock
