The reason everyone wants a Glock is so they have something to put up for sale on the classifieds.
Some of the prices people are asking are insane. Plane old Gen 3s listed for north of 700. They're f***ing 400-500 dollar pistols.

well not right now but 6months agoRight now? good luck with that.
I am relatively new. But not saying you have the wrong gun.Oh boy, here comes a newbie to tell us all that we have the wrong guns.
HK triggers are horrible, what are you talking about?? Have you ever even shot a Glock in your short time of having an LTC?
Some buy things cuz looks cool ( guilty ).What is the obsession with glock?
And their marketing slogan of glock perfection.
I mean, I understand the appeal that the aftermarket is vast and huge.
But, when you are done with modding it, it's not even a glock anymore really.
Their design is uninspiring, they all look like carbon copies of each other.
From a reliability standpoint, just about every newish gun is the same
I'd rank it as the basic bitch gun of the gun world along with M&P's.
But maybe thats just me.
Or some things I buy because they were cool in moviesSome buy things cuz looks cool ( guilty ).
Some because they are tools that get the job done.
Costs more than you make in a month.
Thats why.
No and no
Please I have a glock to go with my hat shades shoes and belt son
well not right now but 6months ago

Now that's diversity!
Ha! the CZ! choice of secret police forces world wide. Enjoy your tool of oppression. To paraphrase Kruschnev (I think) " we will sell you the guns that we subsequently confiscate and shoot you with".
M&P - volkspistole. Eat lead Stasi man!
Good Tattoos aren’t Cheap and Cheap Tattoos aren’t Good.
Tell that to my hi point tramp stampGood Tattoos aren’t Cheap and Cheap Tattoos aren’t Good.
Guess the same holds true with firearms.
True. I actually have one. Should have noticed. Great gun for like 2 dollars at a yard sale.Ill give you the first one... but the second one is clearly an SD9VE... and not in the "M&P" line up.

So you’re saying Shumer‘s been a d*ckhead since the 80s...It's rare for a new entrant in an established industry to totally change it, but that's exactly what Glock did. It didn't hurt that Charles Schumer raised public awareness of the brand with his mistaken belief that the Glock 17 could fool metal detectors, but here's what Glock brought to the table in the early 1980's:
The result was a pistol with more capacity for its weight that, once they firmed up the magazines, worked and worked well.
- Fewer machined parts
- Fewer parts in general.
- Striker Fired
- Safe Action Trigger instead of a manual safety.
- Polymer Frame.
- Integrated Rail
- Magazines that didn't quite work. :-(
Eventually the rest of the industry caught on and caught up, but not before Glock pretty much dominated the U.,S. law enforcement market. Personal preferences will vary, but a Glock is still a perfectly reasonable choice today. And of course, if you live in Massachusetts, owning one raises a figurative finger at Maura Healey, which is a plus for me.
I must disagree. The SD is an excellent gun and I've always had excellent experiences with them.True. I actually have one. Should have noticed. Great gun for like 2 dollars at a yard sale.
I agree with you 100% . Great gun works great. But 99% of the weight is in the slide and barrel. When you take it down what does the lower weigh? 2 ounces at most? It is like a glock but it is much lighter in the polymer. That part I don't like. I also dont like the value enhanced name. But yes on the other hand. Never had a problemI must disagree. The SD is an excellent gun and I've always had excellent experiences with them.
Makes a great first-time gun that runs great at the range and in Home Defense...
Very "Glockesque"
That heavy top end is great for new shooters who are recoil shy. Is it perfect? Hell no. But it will work when it is called on...every time.I agree with you 100% . Great gun works great.
