Report your glock 36 problems here

I LOVE GLOCKS, am and debating on buying a 36.
I have heard many positive 36 reports...
If you've had a negative Glock 36 experience, I'd appreciate it if you'd list them here.
Thank you and stay safe.

I stupidly traded my Glock 36 in to finance something else.

I carried a Glock 36 for a while. It was a great gun, except it was a Glock.

In other words, if you like Glocks, it's a great carry gun.

Wow, Frankly, I really thought I'd hear horror stories about feeding problems on this thread.
But, if these are the only Glock 36 problems TFL members can tell me about, I gotta order one!
Anyone else wanna weigh in?

The only time I encountered a malfunction was when I knowingly limp wrist-ed the gun. I consider my G 36 to be my officers size 45 acp and do pocket carry it at times. IMO can't beat 45 acp weighing in at 27.9 oz loaded

Buy the Glock 36. It's the only Glock I own but it's been perfect for me. Best sized (CCO) 45 acp for CCW out there IMHO. Very good shooter and so far no problems of any kind. Very pleasant to shoot for such a light weight 45acp.

My favorite EDC has always been the CCO sized guns in the 1911 platform. I have a few and when I made my mind up to try the striker fired polymer I went with the Glock 36 because it was closest to what I was familar with and a little lighter. Very pleased with it.

I was seriously looking at the g 36 for awhile but went for the 26. Best purchase I have made.

Nice size... I've shot one and compared and ended up going with the very similar but slightly less expensive Kahr CW45... Like it a lot. But you said you LOVE Glocks... so I'll just say again that it's a very handy size/weight/capacity for carry.

I've owned 2 of them. Never had a failure of any kind. I ended up opting for something else because I wanted a few more than 6 rounds. Great little gun though.

Failure to feed.

Once.

It was the first time the 30 year old woman had ever been shooting in her life. She shot around 10 handguns that day. The 36 was toward the end of the session and she limpwristed.


Never a failure for me. It's my summertime carry.
