Good points above, I'm not going to bother quoting.
I guess on my first post I was unclear. So I will make it maybe more simple so I'll note all these observations are for me; not for anyone else. That has to be key, shooting, ergos, triggers, sights, recoil are all subjective in my opinion, and no one can tell another how it will work for them.
For me:
- Can I shoot Glocks? Yes, I have and can be very accurate (for me) when I work at it.
- While shooting Glocks; do the sights come on target from rest/draw easily and quickly? No, can I work at it and make it so? Sure, if I spend time and $$ (ammo cost).
- Do I enjoy shooting Glocks? Not particularly, the grip is uncomfortable after a few mags (Gen 3 17 and 19 is what I've shot, maybe Gen 4 is better, I don't know).
- Could I become "proficient" with a Glock? Sure, once again, range time and money. I personally believe that would take much longer than a mag or two to make sure that gun points where I want it right away every time, but maybe my hands are slow learners.
For me its simple, I choose not to spend my limited range time and ammo to learn a weapon I don't particularly enjoy shooting. I also don't much care for little airweight .357's or pocket .380's, so I don't own/shoot them either. I stick with what I like to shoot for fun or for protection, especially when we have such a wealth of different options out there. For me, I wanted a carry polymer. I tried the Glock, I tried the M&P, I tried the XD, I tried a Walther. I decided on a Ruger SR9c, what fit me best.
I expressed my opinion, it might be right, it might be wrong.
