I've always been a steel frame kinda guy...in fact, I used to hate on the glock a bit...started to come around the last couple years or so....well, now that they made a lefty friendly version, I got two today..g17 and 19 gen 4 in fde...ran 2 mags of fmj off the porch without trouble, accuracy was decent but hoped for a little better grouping...I'm a 1911/ revolver kinda guy and a pretty good shot..hoping the glock just takes getting used to.

Haha just noticed your thread..hope my experience is the same

Happy for you and your new additions. I never had any beef with Glocks and really wanted one but I feel in love with the M&P line once I held them. I may get me a Glock this year just to have one though. Enjoy your new guns my friend.

The Glock will take a bit of getting used to if your coming from the 1911 platform. After you get used to it. they get addictive.

k511 · May 21, 2013, 01:54 PM

went through 250 rounds out in my back 40 this morning...having much better luck with accuracy after getting a feel for it,, i seem to have slightly better accuracy with the 19 over the 17 which seems odd to me...the trigger is whats going to take a bit to get used to,,,got spoiled from my 1911 and smith revolver triggers haha...gonna give the smith a call later,,see about a trigger job...and some trajicon hd night sights

Really happy for you! You'll get used to it soon enough. I was also spoiled by 1911 triggers and my SIG's in SA.

Welcome aboard the world according to Glock. Mine was the first pistol that I ever bought. I'm now looking at purchasing another one very soon. Enjoy...

Glock is the cheapest gun you can buy that still works well.

k511 · May 21, 2013, 07:18 PM

I don't know about the cheapest...I've had great luck with keltec, kahr, and the cheaper S&W semiautos aswell

It required a few hundreds of rounds for me to "warm up" the the Glocks.

I now have four of them. Models 17,20,21,22. All have been rebarelled by Bar-Sto.

I still carry a SIG-Sauer as my primary personal defense weapon, nevertheless I must admit that I have fallen in love with the Glocks. They're wonderful pistols, especially with the match grade Bar-Sto barrels.

I'm looking to tinker with my 17 turned race gun. Why the barrel sawp?

I had to drop out of the club for awhile, but someday I'll join again! I'll just "upgrade" my membership! Start with a 26, add a 19, add a 30s, then add a 29sf for different flavor.

shrewd · May 22, 2013, 10:13 PM

I too disliked them at first, but I've come around and really dig them for what they are. I've begun carrying my 19 and I've run it in a few classes. It's making my cz jealous

If I ever got another glock it would probably be a 20. I'll justify it by saying I need a woods gun.

Right now though all money goes to ammo and eventually a set if 10 8 sights
