I would much rather have the consistent Glock trigger rather than the infernal DA/SA trigger....the worse of both worlds IMO.

Could it just possibly be your "bad trigger technique" that makes it so difficult for you? ;)
 
I've shot enough glocks to know that I don't "WANT" to have to get used to an inferior trigger/gun. Why should I when a Sig, HK, S&W, and Springfield are perfect right out of the box. And I don't need someone giving me some corny state about their 3 lb trigger pull vs my 4 lb or whatever. That's retarded. I've already said I didn't like the glock trigger. I also didn't like the way the gun felt in my hands. Sorry, but it "REALLY DOES" feel like a toy to me. I'm not saying the glock is bad for everyone. Just for me. Unfortunately, the glockaholics think glocks are good for EVERYONE. And that if you don't like them, then you're the problem. If they'd admit that glocks aren't for everyone, then we'd have nothing to debate. Because most gun owners admit that the gun that's right for you, isn't necessarily the right gun for your wife, kid, mother, friend, etc... That each person has different needs when it comes to a gun. It's very personal. However, the glockaholics believe that there is a glock for everyone. And yes, you might need a glock 19 instead of a 21, but if it's not a glock, then you're the problem. Not the gun. That's what makes glockaholics stupid. Not the gun. Just the belief that glocks are for everyone.
 
I just read a post where every other person trashed the Glock, Why?

No clue.

Considering they make an excellent high cap 10mm (G20).

-and-

Their sub compacts (G26/G27/G33) are great firearms -- lot's of firepower in such a small package.
 
Every Rapper in the hood has one ......so that being reason enough I would NEVER own one. Im not into Gangsta Gear
Plus I would never buy an Auto without a hammer or revolver
 
When the old timers were brought up on the classic platforms that have work wonderfully for 2-3 generations and saved our ass many times through out history, hear these ignorant, newbies ridicules comments it turns people off. ........ Not only from their inexperienced, exaggerated claims but also from the platform they so choose to use.

Most modern recreations of classic platforms are crap. Read any 1911/P-35/PPK/Etc. thread.
 
Glockaholic: Pick up glock, doesn't fit/feel/shoot right. Convince yourself that it can't be the gun, must be the shooter. Force themselves to "make" the glock work. If not possible, look into medical surgery to make the hand/fingers/eye adapt to the glock instead of finding a gun that works with the person.

The Glock is designed the way a fighting pistol should be held; not the way some dirt shooter wants to hold it.
 
Anyone running a 3.5 lb Glock trigger on a SD gun is a little crazy.

3.5lb. connectors are not actually 3.5lbs. They are around 4.5-5.0lbs. The stock pull is 5.5-6.0lbs. In order to get a true 3.5lb. trigger you would need to install a lighter competition firing pin spring, which is unsuitable for serious use due to the risk of light primer strikes.
 
I prefer American made gun made by an American company.

I am not aware of any 100% American designed and made service class polymer pistol. The M&P was designed with help from Walther engineers. Maybe the Ruger SR9.

That is the nerdiest thing ever posted on a gun forum. Reading that turned me into a virgin. :p
 
but the Glock just feels more "plastic" to me.

Glock uses a polymer that contains no fiberglass impregnation. During testing the fiberglass reinforced polymer was causing cracking in extreme cold. That is why it feels more "plastic." It is...

S&W hired away the M&P Project Lead Engineer Joe Bergeron from Colt. Project Engineers Brett Curry, Sean O’Clair and Gary Zukowski certainly sport the names of well heeled Teutonic gentlemen.

IOW, link or it didn't happen.
 
Just asking for proof is all. Bergeron was from Colt. Curry did ergonomics and O'Clair did the chassis. Walther and S&W worked together ironing out issues on .40S&W P99/SW99 models, but if you have ANY proof that the two companies worked together on the M&P just link your source.
 
If it was a stupid argument, why are you pitching Walther's "engineering involvement" as fact when you have no proof?

S&W has licensing, distribution, and customer care agreements in place with Walther, but the two companies are and remain separate corporate entities with their own agendas. Walther is not S&W and vice versa.

I said it was a stupid argument for starting it in the first place.
Walther is not S&W and vice versa.

Smith and Wesson is Walther USA. They manufacture many Walther pistols/parts. The PPK and PPK/S most notably.

Yes, it's a licensed copy of a pistol designed in the 1930s built domestically to get around the ridiculous GCA 68 import ban.

To stretch that into Walther helped design the M&P?
:rolleyes:
 
I don't like glocks because:

1. Grip angle.
2. Goalpost sights.
3. Gaston Glock is a ******bag.
4. They have the ghey
5. No safety (trigger thingy is not safe imo)
6. Trigger
7. Fanboys or glocksuckers.
