Glocks are uncomfortable in my hand, and I don’t like striker fired pistols. Add in the crazy trigger design, and glock is a hard pass for me.

I own multiple Glocks...17 22 and 23. I actually like how they feel in my hand and shoot. However, I don’t carry striker-fired handguns concealed carry as a rule. I’ve heard of too many accidental discharges with a round in the chamber, even among Law Enforcement officers. Couple of bad cases where people accidently discharge when sitting, before getting out of their car to pump gas, etc...they adjust their firearm and touch the trigger. Blam! A year later they get their leg amputated after necrosis sets in. The smart way to carry concealed is with a round in the chamber. The only way I would ever do that is with a double/single action, like my favorite CZ’s, Berreta 380, etc... with hammer down, or any number of .357 revolvers. Then again, there are many who do carry Glocks and never have a problem. I just don’t want to take the chance.

Ergonomics is fundamental to accuracy.

Glocks just don’t fit my hand.

M1911’s, Berettas, SIGs, S&W, Colt SAA and many others DO, just not Glocks; I sold my tupperware Glock G17 after a few years. Some times I wish I’d kept it as an example for students (basic pistol, personal protection) but I leave it up to them to go to a big box sporting goods store and “test fit” them for themselves

I own enough “safe queens.”

Same with me, they just don’t feel right. I have other handguns that feel more comfortable for my grip. It seems like I had to do contortions to hold it on target.

Agree - Glocks are bricks.

The trigger pinches my finger - never liked them.
