I own four models. 17, 19, 21 and 26. Modern relatively lightweight weapon with some drawbacks: not recommend to use reloads implying fear of overpressure (what’s called a Glock KB), intolerant to stovepiping due to non rigid gripping - limp wresting, and a questionable trigger safety. I own 5 1911s and some Berettas. In my opinion all are better than the Glocks

The guy should carry a Hi-Point. The weight alone would drop a perp if pistol whipped with it. If it broke on impact it wouldn’t matter ‘cause the perp woul dbe unconscious.

Why? Are there a bunch of liberal copycats waiting in the wings, or are people scared they’re going to be banned?

Amen ... P239 for me.
Although I like my HK P2000SK a lot too.

Glocks don’t fit my hand so I don’t currently have one.
That said, my experience with them are that they are tough, reliable, and easy to maintain. Plus, since they have absolutely no character, you could throw it out the window of the last bus out of Zimbabwe and not feel bad.

Of all the pistols I have used, the Makarov PM is the most comfortable and most reliable I have known.

I would guess fear of banning. I put in a fresh ammo order yesterday....

Glock Model 20- 2X+ the capacity, 1/2 the weight, 1/2 the recoil, 2X the range. field strips into 1/2 the parts in a fraction of the time, Dishwasher safe.

My Colt Commander Target model 45 ACP. is my preference. They are heavy, but the balance is amazing and they are rugged. No wonder they were the choice for our Officers during WW2. I dearly love the old girl!

I’m a 1911 guy myself, but I gotta say I’m a sucker for buying guns the politicians are talking of banning - might just have to get me a Glock or three.

Don’t like Glocks. The grip is to wide and it feels like you are holding a brick in your hand.

If I lived in a county where the sheriff doesn’t seem to want to do his job, I’d be looking to buy a powerful, reliable handgun too.

Ah, the good old days. I had an M-14 in my hands back in 1990, price tag: $450. Like an IDIOT I passed it up, bought an SKS instead. I miss the old days.

Try a Glock and then one of the Springfield XD's. I think you'll find that the grip angle on the XD is much more familiar to a 1911 shooter than the Glock.
That's what I found anyway.
