A Glock fan here.
I wasn't happy with customer service the other day when I got yelled at as being "Paranoid" because I didn't like that my brand new mag with my second 22 had a "Restricted LE/GOVT Only" stamp on it. I told them that no matter whether it is illegal nowadays or not I don't care. I want civilian unstamped mags like my other 30 or 40.
Anyways, I own 2 Glock 22's, a 23, and a 27.
The first 22, 23, and 27 are all outfitted with internal Lasermax units and TruGlo TFO sights (you gotta love them).
The 27 also has +cap grip/mag extensions, but that's just for the added capacity. I didn't buy them like some because they find the short grip uncomfortable.
The second 22 is brand new, waiting to be fired at the range. Everything is stock. I'm sure it will be great as well though and will likely get the "star" treatment soon too.
I'm also looking at getting a second 27. I carry the current 27 as my EDC gun, and want a second to have just in case.
I shoot very well with my Glocks, and love the fact that I've never had any type of failure. It's such a difference from the other guns I've owned. I remember failures galore and thinking, "How will I ever know if this could be relied on in a life/death situation?!"
Well - with a Glock - you know. It is there for you. It is ready for action, and you don't want to be on the receiving end of a Glock doing its job.
I LOVE my Glocks.
Sure they aren't the most beautifully crafted gun ever, but it's a gun. A tool. Would you rather have an unattractive power-drill that works every time with precision, or an incredibly sexy power-drill that half the time won't power-up? You get the point.
As for the poster who said his 22 is shooting low. Keep practicing and clean it every time. Try other ammo as well.
I find my Glocks work best with 165 grain .40's. I use 165 grain WWB for range use and 165 grain Speer Gold Dot for defensive use.
You can't go wrong with a Glock. Whenever anybody asks for a relatively low priced pistol that is reliable and won't jam - the answer I always say is, "Go for a Glock, you won't regret it."
I actually have a regret - and that is that I didn't start off with a Glock like somebody told me to do.
I started shooting with a 340PD, and while I got good with it, the bullets jumping the crimp finally ticked me off. I also had a Kahr PM9 which was a jammomatic despite 2 trips to the factory, and I had a Keltec P3AT which was horrible when I first bought it, and after a trip to the factory it was fine, but I still didn't feel I could trust it so I sold it (and all the other guns I mentioned).
For pistols, I will be sticking with Glock. I might be buying a nice 1911 in .40 to have as a family heirloom (pass it down to my kids one day).... something elegant (there's a thread on that right now in autoloaders) and I might try a Kahr MK40 to have as a pocket pistol.... but other than that, it's all Glock.
