Glock dislikes

Hate the grip width and angle and not to mention it's just not fun to look at. Everytime I go to the LGS I always get the Glocks and Hi-points confused while I'm glancing in the cases. Ha, take that Grock fans....lol.....

I find that the grip is to fat, it's made out of plastic, and it looks ugly as . Most the guys I know like it. Anyone else as radical as I?

All true, but they are also relativly inexpensive, acceptably accurate, easy to use, and generally very reliable. All of these count for much more to me. Not that you are wrong for not liking the Glock, that's why there are so many guns, so there is something for almost everyone.

And it's true too. I didn't read it in a gun rag, in a post on the internet or get it third hand from a buddy of a buddy whose says he thinks he heard my wife's friend say she thought she heard her say it.

The second thing she said was, "What are you talking about?" followed by, "I don't care I guess". And she's an accomplished shooter too, not some semi annual 25 round shooter who thinks bullets are the same as cartridges.

I hate the grip angle
I hate the plastic
I hate that in .40 its waaayyy to light and I cant hit the side of a barn with one
its to light in 9mm also.
did I mention butt ugly too
Its also embedded in hip hop culture which that alone would cause me not to buy one.
When I hear people talk about how great they are I just roll my eyes....

I don't own any Glocks, and I've been shooting for over 35 years, so I have had my chance to buy many. However, I do like their low bore axis, and the grip angle is fine if you spend a few minutes with it. I've shot my share, and can say they work fine, are accurate if you do your part, and seem to be rugged, and reliable. The trigger is fine, and if you don't like it you can have it lightened, and smoothed up.

It's just another choice of gun. If you don't like it, buy something else.

I hear a lot of criticism of the Glock finger grooves. I myself would love to stumble into a good deal on a gen 1 G17.

Gen 2 Glocks also do not have finger grooves, nor a rail.

I hate 'em too. They started out in 9mm and were made with lots of plastic. Did I mention they weren't .45acp, at first.

I dislike them, but like them for what they have accomplished for good gunners of the world.

Perfection!

If the grips were thinner and that square trigger guard was not so square I would actually love the glocks. Besides the thickness they are not so bad

I don't like the fact that they're black. And those little dimples, I hate them too. I had dimples when I was a kid and I remember the ribbing I took. Dimples are just not fun to look at.

Does ya see a pattern here?

And souless? Is that really what we said about Glocks? I don't think any of my guns have souls. My dogs do. My loved ones do. But don't you think were going a bit off the end of the dock?

So many take this hatred so seriously. I have one guy who sends me spam email, complete with profanities, every time I defend Glocks. Little Man, it just isn't worth it.

I only have one, but I sure don't understand the hatred.

For me it's simple enough - I find that I need to buy two parts (NY1 & a 3.5 connector) to make the trigger behave decently. The stock trigger belongs on a Mauser rifle.

Glock

The many Glock's I've owned all WORKED. And that's the bottom line. The only thing that really means anything in a pistol is "will it work if I need it to work". Most all pistols are acceptably accurate, most all calibers are weak compared to long guns, etc.etc. The 3 Glocks I have kept have fired well over 10K rounds (that's a VERY conservative estimate) with out a malfunction of any kind. That means a lot to me personally.
