I own many guns, but I carry a Glock 27 & keep a Glock 21sf in my nightstand. They aren't good looking. They don't feel great in my hand. Lord knows I have cheaper guns (& more expensive ones too). BUT both of these guns have never had an FTF from the time they came out of the plastic case.
I need to know that a gun will fire in the moment when I need to save my family's lives as well as my own. I have a few guns that I would feel perfectly safe with. My Glocks are 2 of those guns. Plus Glocks have been tested ad nauseam by police departments to ensure that they will fire with mud, water, sand, ice, dirt, etc. on & in them. That is good enough for me.

Once upon a time I thought that would never matter to me. But you know what? It does. The area where I practice on tends to get a little wet. This time of year, part of it almost always gets plowed by the guy who share crops it. My glock mags amaze me because they work fine during sessions after a few hundred rounds and being dropped in the dirt (and stepped on, which makes going back to find it tricky)...even after they are crunchy and without dumping the dirt out.
By this reasoning, you should have a lot of 1911's and ONE Glock. If you're after individuality, there are plenty of people that take your money to much up your Glock. Or sell you a mucked up Glock. Same general idea as with 1911's, except with Glocks it's putting lipstick on a pig.
I wish, as all of the gun dreams that I've ever had (that I remember when I wake up, anyway) were nightmares.
I suppose some pop-psychologists may say something like that, or that you subconsciously love Glocks deep down inside and only hate them consciously because of a backlash effect against their popularity, but I don't think that either are necessarily true. I think that dreams are for the most part side-effects of an underlying process of sorting information, and aren't necessarily indicative of any inner thought processes--at least with any kind of reliability and coherency to speak of, anyway. That's why they're often weird and resistant to analysis of any degree of consistency. As Freud might say, sometimes a gun barrel is just a gun barrel.
Why not rent one if you're curious now? In analogy, I occasionally rent and watch movies that I really don't think that I would care for, and while I usually end up hating them just like I thought I would, occasionally they turn out to be rather different and better than I expected. If nothing else, at least I'd know that I hate certain movies for sure and why so that I can legitimately bash them on movie forums.
That's better than the common practice of bashing movies that one hasn't even seen, which I'm sure happens in gun forums regarding guns, too.By the way, regarding dreams, recurring gun nightmares are the second-worst type that I have. They're always the same--no matter how hard I try, I cannot hit what I'm shooting, whether it's a paper target or somebody shooting at me. :banghead: In real life, at 25 yards and under, I don't think that I've ever missed a human-sized target, even on my very first day shooting firearms. I wonder what this means?
Probably nothing much--at most it's just my greatest fear magnified to cartoonish proportions for no reason.So what's the worst type? School-related nightmares, which are analogous to my gun nightmares--in real life, I graduated with honors at every level and never missed a class, while in dreams I skipped out on all of my classes, never did my homework, and don't even know where the rooms are for the final exams I'm missing.
These are the worst because in my gun nightmares I only feel frustrated and maybe a little angry, while in my school nightmares I feel raw, gut-wrenching, naked fear!

Just try it, seriously try it
Go to the range and rent it (my range lets you use it for free if you buy ammo)
I mean really try it, don't just shoot 5-13 rounds through it and say nah, not for me. Shoot a whole box or two or three through it, shoot it slow and rapid fire it, double tap, etc.. Just as if you were looking at buying a new vehicle, you would drive it wouldnt you? (fast, slow, hammer down)
(last avalanche I bought i took for a test drive and the salesman was in the back seat, wife in the front passenger, salesman was spewing the usual crap about how powerful the engine was and I said ok then hang on and lets find out. He sat up real quick like and said NO, you cant and about that same time I said wanna bet and punched it. I remember looking through the rearview and all I could see was on his face (Don't tell me I can't, because if I want to I will)
Here is a link that shows all the different models, serials, generations and the problems each one had, as well as the year that particular model and gen was started and stopped and any statements made by Glock about failures, part changes (recalls) etc.. kinda neat site if your interested about such things.
Here is my favorite Glock , the funny thing about this one is how people react when they see it (some say KEWL and others laugh and mock it) The ones that mock it, I ask them if they would like to run a few clips through it then they can properly mock it if they don't like it. Not one person who has mocked it and ran a few clips through it stayed with the original mock! They changed their mind and opinion real quick ( I always give them a 13 round clip and tell them to rapid fire as fast as they can, they always say "chit, that thing kicks like a 22, almost no recoil at all"
Their will always be people who open their mouth before thinking!
Their will always be people who mock things that they really know nothing about! (I don't understand why, they just do)

Here is my model from the above link BWP - G-21 - May 1996 - 2nd Gen
Then I shipped it off to Aro-Tek and had all the mods added.

"Come, boy, see for yourself. From here, you will witness the final destruction of the Alliance and the end of your insignificant rebellion against Glock cool aid."
"You want this Glock, don't you? The hate is swelling in you now. Take your Jedi Glock weapon. Use it. I am armed only with a measley Keltec PF9. Strike me down with it. Give in to your thirst for Glock cool aid. With each passing moment you make yourself more my servant. "
"It is unavoidable. It is your destiny. You, like your father, are now Glock shooters."

To set the record straight, I am not a Glock hater. I own two of them and neither one has ever failed to go bang. That being said, my comment about a wet Glock dream maybe being when you piss on a Glock was not meant as a put down of Glocks; it was a reference to the aforementioned wet dream.
I personally think Glocks are excellent pistols. Before I retired, I carried a U.S. Government owned Glock 19 for about 5 years. It was absolutely flawless. I just didn't like it, though. I didn't like how it pointed or felt. Now that I'm retired, I can carry anything I want, so I carry nothing but HK. I would have no problem protecting my life with a Glock, and my dad loves his Glock 19. I just happen to like HKs more.
My goodness. People spare no expense coming up with clever ways to vent about Glocks. Either you hate them or love them. Creating threads for others to reinforce your hate is pathetic.
I know I have one of the best firearms on the planet; the Glock 26. If you'd give in to your dreams you'd have one too.

Last night I had a dream that I was eating an enormous marshmallow. When I woke up, my pillow was gone....

Just to clarify, my hate of glocks is not motivated by anything but aesthetic reasons. They just don't do it for me. I could even go so far as to say that I don't think polymer looks good at all and if glock made an all steel gun, I might buy it.
