Anti-Glock Guy Buys A Glock

[Infinite Jester]

OK, so maybe not hardcore anti-Glock, but not a fanboy. I've always been a Sig guy, and still am. Aesthetically, I think Glocks are ugly, but in the end, it's a tool, and frankly, who cares? It's not like we're having gun beauty competitions. I guess over the years of being on this board, with every new person showing up, there would be the obligatory "Buy a Glock" comment, at which point, I would stop and think... should I buy a Glock? Well, today was the day I did. I went into work for a few hours this morning, and was done by noon. Wife was still working, so I came home and started cruising around YouTube. Next thing you know, I'm down a Glock rabbit hole. Impulse struck, and next thing I'm digging for my credit card. I stuck with 9mm models, as I already own several firearms chambered in that caliber, and the fact that I have a ton of it squirreled away.

So the big reveal.. what did I get? I wound up ordering a Glock 19 Gen 4. Having it shipped to my FFL. Got it new, for $512 online.

Welcome to the dark side!

Welcome to the modern world.

You'll like it here.

 

[MachineHead]

Welcome and congrats on the non-rapey price!!

Great gun! Now you need a 17 and 26 to keep it company.

It was a toss up between the 19 and 17.

I also sold my G17 after getting a G19. I kept the 21, 30SF, 34, 35, 41, and 43. I'm looking for an excuse to sell the G35 because I hate .40 but I sunk $400 into it pimping out as a USPSA Limited gun so I'll never recoup my investment

 

[rcwhat]

Imo the 19 is the best all around pistol available today

Is this where Glockdom leads?

 

[xtry51]

Get a G34 next.

 

[Admin]

Did the gun shop include a bomb suit for the impending KB?

 

[mikerossi1976]

This sounds all to familiar...Sig fan boy, have yet to buy a glock, but been considering a G19. Interested to hear how you like it

 

[92G]

great choice.

next you can upgrade to a G19 gen 3

and a G21. for me the G21 in a class of its own.

But the G26 is so adorable, especially with a 33rd mag sticking out of it.

I had a thread awhile back about being in a store up here, and a few of us get talking carry guns. Next thing you know, the guy I'm having a convo with pulls out his Glock, drops the mag, safety checks it and hands it to me. It was a beat up police trade in, but it really, really, felt good in my hand, and I Hated to admit it.

NYET. G19 is fine.

 

[Hoon]

Get a G34 next.

Absolutely love my 34.

Factory sights are shit, but that's a quick fix.

yup, I read it. I dont have any problem with glocks other than (like you said) i think theyre kinda ugly. A friend of mine has the G43 and Im in love with it

Did you change them out? Any experience with the OEM night sights? I was looking at either those of maybe spending a little more and going with the Trijicon for my G19.

 

[Queen Bee]

Hogwash... skip the 34, and all the other models , you only need 2 glocks, 19, and 21... i could live with those two handguns and be perfectly content.

I need to.

I'm using the gun for USPSA this season, so it's time to change out the awful adjustable rear sight for a good quality fixed rear and fiber optic front.

I use weapon mounted lights on my HD guns so no experience with the factory night sights.

I've used XS on a few carry guns and they're excellent for tritium night sights.

Meh, 19 is more than I like to carry. With the exception of the size hole the bullet makes, everything the 21 does the 34 does better.

I am in the same boat.. never felt the need for a glock but lately i am finding myself drawn to them more and more. Unfortunately I am in the PRM and cant find glocks for 500ish.

Good luck with your new tool!

I think a sight upgrade will be the first order of business. I love the Trijicon.

Congrats. I want a glock 43, but not ready to pay glock prices yet

That's blasphemous you're supposed to collect them all, except for the shitty ones in .45 GAP.

The G19 is the easiest carrying 9mm with 16 rounds of 9 on deck that exists on this planet.

I joined the flock recently too. I'd shot glocks before but was "meh" about them. Had a few S&W's but wanted more mag capacity. Picked up a gen4 g19 and I'm honestly impressed. The fact that you can break the whole gun down with one single tool is awesome. So far I like it, with some exceptions: the gen4 grips were pretty rough on my side when carrying. I don't like wearing undershirts, so I put some talon rubber grips on it. Problem solved. The other issue I had was with the trigger, the ribbed G19 trigger shoe was beating up my trigger finger so I got a smooth G17 trigger to replace it. Added a Truglo TFO front sight and a blank rear and it's good to go.
