G O B 3,516 Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 (edited) I like the way a Glock fits in the hand, and I shoot pretty good with one- but I HATE the way it feels when shootin it. Not the recoil, it just feels "springy". I like a heavier steel 1911 type pistol. Edited February 15, 2007 by G O B Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Marduk13 0 Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 I just sold my Glock 17 (my first gun) to get a .223 Saiga. But I kept my Glock 36. I love that little thing, and believe it or not, I am a lot more accurate with it that I was with my 17. I think it had to do with the 36 having a single-stack magazine.

87vert 4 Posted February 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 just got back from the range (had to test out the 23) I love the compensated setup the muzzle flash is awsome and it makes followup shots so much easier. The recoil is harder than my 21 (.45) but it could as be that it is a compact vs the full size. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DaGroaner 2 Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 I have a Glock 27. It is the best pistol I have ever owned. I love how controllable the recoil is despite the small size and I can't believe how accurately it shoots considering the short sight radius. I have only had it malfunction a few times with some Aguila frangible ammo when it was new. It cycled everything else I have put through it and even that Aguila stuff flows perfectly now. It is just a great gun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 I love my G-17! I'll never sell it. It's just like an AK. You CAN'T mess it up and it will ALWAYS work with good ammo. I really like the lighter trigger I put in it too. That used to be my only bitch about the gun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
macbeau 902 Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 +1 on the Glock 21. I "cut my teeth" on the 1911-style stuff and Love the 1911 frame as a mentor, if you will. Because of that, I have a natural tendency toward thumb safety's (never cared for the grip safety) and instinctively reach for it every time I need to holster or un-holster. The G-21 fits my hand better than a wide-body 1911 too (a'la Para-Ordnance, etc..) I got my G-21 about 3 years ago and almost immediately had it modified with a FACTORY recognized (doesn't void the factory warranty) thumb safety, an extended slide stop and a 3.5 lbs connector. I also bought about 6 or 7 GLOCK mags and added +2 Pierce extenders on them. All my mags are now 15-round, Glock mags. This is my primary home defense gun (' at least 'til I can get to my NFA registered 13" Ithaca M-37, 12ga) as well as my 3-Gun pistol... I have never looked back. For a 1911-lover, that's saying something... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KYCitizen 0 Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 My Glock Collection 9mm G-17L G-26 G-34 45 ACP G-21 G-30 And I would have already had more but Im switching from 9MM to .40 S&W So Im getting ready to start selling my 9's. My Plan is to Own G-22 G-23 G-24 G-27 G-35 Whenever any comes into the store and ask whats a good pistol I try real hard not to just say GLOCk and be done, I like other pistols but when it comes down to it give me that TUPPERWARE .45 ACP anyday.

Mah bitch got the XD9 she was constantly whining about, so now she leaves me with all of the .45's to myself. I have to say that the XD45 shoots and instinctively points maybe better than the 36 for me, but the size is prohibitive for some things. Twice the firepower of the 36, though... I installed the laser-in-the-recoil-spring arrangement for the wife, it's still in there, although I don't know if I would ever use it. Pretty slick and unobtrusive setup, though.

Respectfully posted, guido2 in Houston The range I use isn't very fancy, and they don't have a huge selection of rentals. I've rented and shot the 21c and 22 from them. But then one day I notced they had a really old 36 to test. It looked like it hadn't been cleaned forever, and had scratches where someone must have dropped it. I set the target at 10 yards and squeezed off 3 rounds. They all went through the same hole! I had to have one. It seems like the 36 is the "forgotten Glock" most people just get 30's when they want a sub-compact .45 But the 36 is far better for carry, being so slim. I wish Glock would go single-stack for the full size .45, but they went the GAP route instead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
amish_psycho 0 Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 Been doing research on the 357 sig. Thinking about a Glock in that caliber. All I have now is a Beretta 92 Inox. I can still keep buying 9mm bullets for reloading and brass seems to be easier to acquire now. Also, Secret Service, U.S. Marshalls carry 357 sig. as well as other Departments. The idea was to create a 357 comperable auto-loader. Any info guys??? Anyone shoot one? The ballistics look good. Input before buying please. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
macbeau 902 Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 The ballistics look good on paper - and in an FMJ- it could be viable, but good luck finding affordable practice ammo or a selection of defensive ammo. For defensive work, I'd stick with 9mm /.38 SPL (LOW-END) thru ..45 ACP (HIGH_END) for a defensive/offensive carry gun. If a lady may be expected to shoot this pistol, and become proficient with it..., I would suggest a 9mm or a .40 S&W with mild loads. The point being she needs to PRACTICE with it ... Barring everything else - I would suggest a .38 revolver as there as no safety's to dick with and no malfunction-drills to go thru... Just my humble opinion... [JMHO] Macbeau sends....
