Just simply curious is all. Too thin for my hands anyway (all the poly single stacks are). Thanks
If we look on an annual basis, new guns are going to outsell most everything else. The first year, the P365 was a blockbuster. Certainly, it outsold the G43 that year and probably the next. The same is true for the Shield 2.0. I haven't analyzed all the available data. But just going buy top-selling handguns of 2018 or 2017 lists, its apparent Glock hasn't had a #1 because they don't really have anything new.
This is what Glock fans think of new Glock models:
Glock is popular, and that’s a fact. I just don’t see why it bothers some people.
Glock pretty much makes the same size/category of firearms as S&W, Ruger, Springfield, Walther, CZ, Taurus, Sig, Beretta, etc. They all do compete against each other in the same categories...I’ve always have had a hard time watching that guys videos. He just wants to make me go to sleep. He is also not a big fan of Glocks. But he does like his bubbly water.
I did force myself to stay awake and watch the whole video and can say that I was not impressed. I have seen better reviews done on Hi Points.
But for your one video of a guy that doesn’t like the G48, you can find many more that like it.
I do agree that Ruger and S&W make a lot of guns, but if you were to only count the guns that compete in the same market as Glock, I think that you would find that Glock does better.
I also remember seeing S&W M&Ps on sale last year for right at $300. I bet Glock would sell more if they dropped their prices.

I don't think people have problems with Glock or people liking them. IMHO the biggest problem a lot of people have with Glock is the attitudes of some Glock owners... That's were most 8f the hate and distain stems from...
Some act like Glock is better and everything else is interior. They have a holier than thou attitude. Also, to be fair, it's been my experience that Glock owners, more so than most other fanboy group, tend to be a little more sensitive to anyone who is critical of Glocks... Goes both ways...Please elaborate what this means...I don’t understand.
And why do people take it personally?

Styx: said:Further proof that Glocks aren't out selling S&W and Ruger
that's funny!So I’m not going to dispute the fact that S&W and Ruger both sell more revolvers than Glock does!

And since no other group of gun owners exhibits such outlandish attitudes, people hate Glock Fanboys? Okay, makes perfect sense to me!
How dare they be enthusiastic about their plastic guns! As if they had real guns, made of metal...
Surely, they should conduct themselves in a much more humble manner. No 1911/S&W revolver/Beretta 92 owner would dare be a fanboy of their weapons or show pride in their gun of choice. Who do these Glock scoundrels think they are?
So if I'm not allowed the opinion that somehow Glock's use of Browning's tilt barrel short recoil locking system isn't somehow a more reliable design than everyone else's use of that design. Or disputes the 65% market share claim.I don’t get it either...and for some, it more than just bothers them, it is like they take it personally that anyone can like Glock’s. If you think about it, it’s a lot like how Liberals act when you disagree with them. You can’t have any other opinion but theirs...
And none of them compare to Glock fans from what I see on just about all of the gun over the years... Has gotten better though...Yeah, head into a 1911 forum and the "If it ain't a Colt, it's a copy" folk aren't annoying at all, no sir-ee. I never venture into the morass of AR15 forums, but I hear they can be found there too.
Years back HK fan used to be pretty vocal about how superior their favored platform was designed and built "better", but they've been quieter for quite some time.
These days, take note on every "what should I CCW" threads that the 365 pops up even when not listed as an option (just like the Glock used to) in darned near every one across all forums.
Maybe the "game changer" 365 fans will be the new reviled Glock fans in a few years? Who knows? Stay tuned to find out!
Oh yeah Ad HominemMost often you will find that the people that don't like Glocks have never owned one or have had limited contact with them.
The sad part is it probably would sell...The Glock revolver is a hard sell, I think they cut their losses and let S&W and Ruger have that market.
