Who is still carrying a G-lock

[JHC]

OMG no. Why would I switch? I've got 9 of them and my son's have 7 more. Those 16 and several sold/traded off over the last 15+ years through current ran/run great. They are everything I could ask them to be.

I sympathize with the disaffected and wish them luck in their journeys. But I have no reason to weigh the negative reports heavier than my own experience shooting at an 8-10K round annual clip. The shooting friends around me here have similar experience. One rotates back and forth to AFG on training gigs certifying security forces. His operation has over 1000 G19s in service for years shooting year round in training and quals with zero PM/cleaning until the rare bobble then it's back up and running with a spring.

Whatever.

[Hambo]

No, there's none. 10 people who carried P series HKs are continuing that way, px4 is not going anywhere far even if Ernest likes it, 5 billion people keep carrying Glocks, and what GJM is shooting goes with a circadian rhythm.

Don't forget the 92 Series fans. All...nine of us? OK, maybe eight. Glock isn't going away, and with MOS slides almost certain to become the norm on all models, Glocks will be marketed to the middle aged just like Dodge Challengers and Viagra.

I've got 9 of them and my son's have 7 more.

Good point, I sold off all of my non Glock handguns (excluding my J-Frame ... which I've just been too lazy to sell).

I switched from Glock to Beretta almost a year ago. DA/SA offers me a few advantages that striker fireds can't.

I am just now starting to see good speed improvements with my Beretta over where I was with my Glock. A lot of that has to do with the way I grip the gun and learning the DA/SA trigger.

Accuracy improved pretty much right away when I switched to the Beretta from my gen 3 G17.

I have carried a Glock for about 10 years now. I started out with a 26, then 17 and finally settled on a 19. All Gen3. I had a 29 for a short stint for a backcountry gun. I wasn't serious into training until I found PF a few years ago so I don't have as much actual trigger than most here but the undeniable reliability, serviceability, and simplicity of the Glock has me hooked and I don't think I will be changing...just acquiring more models.

ETA: I do carry a PPS often for NPE locations. Bought it just before the 43 came out.

[Aray]

If I was to leave the M&Ps, it would almost certainly be for the Glock camp.

[Navyguns]

I traded my G19G4 for a PX4 Storm compact. Mainly because of the way I shot it compared to the Glock. Yes, the thread started by E. Langdon had an impact. I have no emotional attachment to guns. They are tools to me just like a hammer or screwdriver.

[TiroFijo]

If something works more than good enough, and parts, spares, mags, holsters, etc. are everywhere, and cheap, why change?

Of course there is always some room for improvement, but it is not some minute detail/improvement in the pistol that is going to make the difference, it's the training.

And is not only the glock, the same applies to all other brands/models of pistols that have proven to work for you.

[rob_s]

start with a G17/19 and then present an argument for anything other than that. Not many people have a valid reason not to if we remove emotion from the game.

Correct.

However, for many people it's the emotion, the fiddle-fart, the chasing of unicorns, that keeps them heading out to the range. That may or may not be important, depending on your beliefs.

[Lost River]

I have multiple generations of the Glock.
Every generation has worked quite well.
I am well stocked in spare parts.
I am well stocked in holsters and mag pouches.

Due to the fact that I have been shooting them for 20+ years now, some manipulations are a matter of unconscious competence, and that is a level I prefer to stay at.
I do not see a single reason not to continue to carry/compete with Glocks.
