Glock 18, best gun Glock ever made? - Page 2

Nice always thought a FA 10/22 receiver would be one of the most fun FA to have.

No, the 38 or 39 are the best Glocks. GAP baby!

Id like to CC one. I think at close in ranges the G18 with a few 17rd mags would be just the ticket.

Secondly depending where you used it in SD such as in a standard CCW case all those FA rounds that missed your multiple assailants would look really really bad in court... so where did the 17 of those 33 rounds that missed wind up?

I agree "DEPENDING" on where you used it..I still think it would at the very least be nice to have FA as an option in a pistol for self defence...just one more tool in your self defence tool belt

I think it serves a purpose but as a SD weapon or PDW their are better options. Just my opinion. God it looks like a hell of alotta fun.

Yeah it looks like fun! What a shame...what a shame..

I think you said it all by saying "Best Glock ever".

Silvanus · February 13, 2010, 07:11 AM

I honestly cannot think of one single situation where I would prefer a fully automatic handgun, over a semi-auto... So the Glock 18 doesn't really do anything for me and I prefer the standard model 19 and 17. But that's just my opinion since you asked for it

Impractical? says who?

Under most circumstances I would simply leave the selector switch on semi and have a normal magazine in it. However, there are law enforcement or military applications which could be ideal for a Glock 18 in full auto. You're essentially dumping tooonnnnssss of energy and damage into a human in fractions of a second. Who needs a bigger caliber when this is possible

Nobody says you have to use the huge mags for it... through in the normal g17 mag, and you have tons of suppressive fire with the flick of a switch... now youre not going to beat Rambo in a shoot off, but it could be used...

Skans · February 25, 2010, 04:49 PM

Imangine, if you can, that full-auto only glocks and semi-auto glocks were not restricted and treated as ordinary handguns. Which one do you really think people would purchase to carry and defend their homes?

shooter_john · February 26, 2010, 08:26 AM

I certainly wouldn't call them 'the best' at anything, but they serve a purpose. Our shield guys carry them on the tac team, giving a lot of firepower to the guys who otherwise literally have their hands full. With some practice, you can control an 18 fairly well, but it would never be my first choice for a sidearm/ SMG, unless fitted with a stock of some sort. TONS of fun for sure though!

A shotgun.

Good question. For me, no chance I would want to have full auto inside my home, especially when there are loved ones nearby to protect. I would not risk putting them in greater danger by my own stray rounds

Tons of suppressive fire? How do you figure? Instead of BRAAAAP (empty) with the 33rd magazine, you have BRAAP (empty) with a flush-fitting one.

Glock 18 is way cool. However controllability (is that a word?) can be suspect I believe
