...because it does not need a drastic design change.
It simply works.
It simply works.
As to Glocks in general it took me a long time to try one.
For me it's a natural shooter ergo wise. The grip angle reminds me of a target 22, similar to the Ruger Mark series pistol.
First, I want to make it clear that I’m neither a Glock lover nor a Glock hater. Like many, they’re a manufacturer of fine firearms, all of which have their place.
My question is why all of a sudden for the past year or so are we seeing Glock everywhere? Blog articles, forum threads, videos, magazine articles, television gun shows, and an avalanche of aftermarket parts and accessories etc. I suspect that Glock must have opened their platform and maybe released some patents or had them expire which would explain the parts and accessories but that doesn’t (to me) explain the super high visibility of their guns everywhere, even on television drama shows. Is it money or something else that I don’t know about?
Who can shed some light on this for me?
Thanks in advance.
I'm pretty sure you can switch out backstraps on the gen 4, that's an improvement.Difference, si.
Improvement, not that I see.
ever replace the recoil spring in that gun?In all that time, the only other things to go, were a trigger return spring at around 90,000, and another at around 120, 000.
I replace the RSA's on the guns I shoot a lot, twice a year or so. I havent had one fail "the test" yet, so it seems to be sufficient.ever replace the recoil spring in that gun?

Not sure what your point is here. The gun is uncocked, albeit, partially cocked, until you "cock" it (sorta) when you pull the trigger.I guess some folks just gotta have a pistol you can't uncock without totally unloading it.
Im not seeing how they are any "harder" than anything else. Recoil on most Glocks is pretty soft and easy on the shooter.I'm convinced that one of Glock's and similar striker-fired auto's problems is that they're too hard for most people to use. Gun guys don't have any problem, but most wives, girlfriends, and grandmas will have a hard time racking the slide and dealing with the recoil, and so will the majority of US men who presently do not carry any firearm. You can show them "some techniques" all you want but anyone wanting to grow the handgun market size in the US isn't going to do it with a "me too" product. The 380 EZ was a good shot at some of the issues, as was the PMR30, but both compromise too much to result in a big market shift and neither really address all of the problems.
Nevertheless, a solution doesn't need to fix everything. The "Glock" didn't fix everything with the revolver. It turned .357 Magnum power levels back to .38 Special. That was considered an acceptable compromise by enough people. The trigger is vague and lame compared to a 1911, but again, a widely accepted compromise.
Advertising is where it's at. The more people see it the more it's in the front of their mind when they go to buy a gun. Oldsmobile should've had that mind set and Pontiac.
