You do know what kind of gun (and holster) he was using, right?
His problem was not the gun or holster, it was his finger on the trigger.You do know what kind of gun (and holster) he was using, right?
You really missed the point. Their would seem to be a surplus of mags, And yes, some really nice quality Mags out there from other manufacturers. I get the impression that most Glock owners shoot about 5k rounds a month. How many mags and parts do you need to keep replacing?
Yes, I have some very high quality mags, all stainless steel, metal followers, metal base plates etc. And can just buy springs for replacement. Will last for decades. I am not going to buy a firearm just because they sell cheap mags. Not enough there for me to worry about something like that. Get over the mag thing. Like I said, Glock guns are great, but let's not get carried away.
m not seeing how they are any "harder" than anything else. Recoil on most Glocks is pretty soft and easy on the shooter.
You have to load the Glocks, just like any other auto, and the slides are not any harder to pull back than anything else, and lighter than some.
How many other brand's rifles and pistols take Glock mags?
So you bought the Glocks just so you can use the mags? lol
I was the opposite, bought a PCC that used Glock mags first knowing that I was going to get a Glock in the future. The 30 rd extended Glock mags were a big selling point too and now companies that aren't Glock are making Glock mags on the cheap and the mags work well. There may be 30 rd mags for M&Ps, Berettas, etc. but IDK how reliable they are compared to the Glock mags.Not quite... I owned 5 Glocks before looking for a PCC that accepted Glock mags.
I think we are really going off track fast. Now back into government/Municipal bids etc and all the normal Glock rhetoric. Should know better by now never to comment. My Bad.
One last thing amd654, I am happy you got yourself a nice gun and saved so money. But please do not make comments like you know me, because you do not.
No I certainly don’t know you. All I know I know you by is what you wrote...and what you wrote indicated mag cost isn’t a big deal to you. It is to me.
No doubt. My point was, it was being alluded to that it happened with a Glock, when in fact, it was a 1911.His problem was not the gun or holster, it was his finger on the trigger.
When most people do something stupid they find something or someone else to blame.
They are, and Im sure it just annoys those that dont like them, even more.No matter if you like Glocks are not, they are one of the most popular handguns in the world.
Not to get off track here, but the Serpas, while they can work if used properly, just add to the safety thing, when, like a Glock, you give them to people who probably shouldnt have a gun in their hands at all.Does anybody think that gun in the video discharged itself? Is it the gun’s fault he had his finger in the trigger guard before it cleared the holster?
It’s like those product liability suits, if the gun went off when you pulled the trigger, obviously it is not a defective product.
I wouldnt either, but the fact they are, is a big plus, especially if youre using them hard in practice, and mags tend to get abused.Lol, What ever you say, and I will not buy a gun simply because the mags are cheap.
I was about to write the same list with the exact same pro’s/cons on there. It appears you beat me to it.I can only speak for myself but here's the list:
34 parts
One tool
3 internal safeties
0 external safeties
Low pre-cock load in striker
Light weight
Durable
Platform commonality
Aftermarket/spare parts galore
Accurate ( but bo more than any other good defensive pistol)
Overall durable finishes
Cheap magazines
Reliable (but no more than any other good pistol)
------------------------------------
That outweighs the cons of the glock for most applications for me which are:
Less than great trigger
Ridiculous plastic factory sights
Polymer frame degradation in future
2 of mine shoot left. Not all, just 2.
Lack of innovation
No rail on subcompacts (26/27/29)
Past case support issues of 40
Ive had a couple of old military surplus guns that had horrible DA triggers. My one CZ70 required two fingers to pull the trigger in DA. Its SA trigger was fine. But guns like that are the exception rather than the rule, and are in a separate, more or less limited class."I can't remember seeing a 'bad' factory trigger in anything commercially current, or in the even distant past either, for that matter."
I've apparently owned some much lower-quality handguns! I've ended up getting rid of several handguns that had triggers that were too stiff for me. The worst was an old Russian Nagant revolver. Even the single action trigger was pretty bad. The double action trigger was absurd.

Look at all the police departments that have issued guns other then Glocks over the years. Most of those departments don’t stay with the same brand gun far all that long. But most of the ones that have gone to Glock have stayed with Glock.
My department went from S&W to Glocks 17 years ago starting with the Gen3. They upgraded to the Gen4 and will be going to the Gen5 as soon as funds are available.
The reason we didn’t go with Glocks earlier is that the guy that was over the range and had the most say so in what we carried was a Glock Hater.
No matter if you like Glocks are not, they are one of the most popular handguns in the world.
Its amazing how that works. Isnt it?My brother was upset. He didn't like Glocks. Then he took his new G19 to the range to qualify and shot his highest score ever. Now he loves Glocks, lol.
