I just can't buy a Glock.

[rogersmithiii]

I admit it.

Glocks are great guns. They're reliable. They shoot any sort of ammunition without the need for throating or modification. They are easy to work on. They shoot really nicely. They stand up to dirt, mud, wet, and corrosion. They are close to perfect weapons for the modern age.

I just can't bring myself to buy one.

They are.......butt ugly.

They have no aesthetically pleasing attributes. Gaston designed them solely for function.

I get that guns need to be designed for practical, functional purposes. They need to go "bang" when you pull the trigger, and they need to place bullets where they are aimed.
But to me, guns are also pieces of art. I get seriously aroused when I see a gorgeous Weatherby Athena shotgun with amazing wood, and tastefully engraved receiver. I love Remington's artistically designed front sights. Colt's decision to replace that biscuit sight on the Detective special with a ramped front replacement was genius.

That's why I will never own a Glock pistol. Life is too short to shoot ugly guns.

Your wife’s boyfriend definitely agrees.

I’m a huge revolver fan and nothings more sexy then a vintage S&W.

With that said I’ve never like Glocks either until I picked up a G45. It’s one accurate and ergonomically correct handgun. It’s changed my mind and I’m on the search for a G20 now.

While I'll agree a stock Glock isn't going to win any beauty contests, I actually like the utilitarian look of them. Also, considering I got into guns relatively late in my life so far (didn't grow up with them or have any duty with them), I come from the vantage of seeing a Glock and thinking that's what a handgun looks like. Everything else is either old fashion looking or superfluous in comparison.

if you can`t buy a glock - then make one yourself.

 

[Bigfudge16]

as a man who appreciates butts, the phrase butt ugly makes no sense to me

 

[Palladin]

Yeah you're right, you live in massachusetts. LOL

Well, the boyfriend is obviously not you. Unless you’ve seen a urologist for that phalloplasty you so desperately need.

Art is subjective. End of discussion.

I used to be in the same boat. Then I bought a Glock 20 and I carry it in a chest rig every day out on my property. Quite literally the most useful gun I own.

Glocks are like a Estwing hammer. A tool that gets the job done every time no matter what the situation. Ridiculously simple and reliable function design. I take no "pleasure" in shooting my Glock as they got no "soul" . Pull the gritty heavy trigger they go bang, but thats it as far as the experience.

I’ve got pretty guns - revolvers, 1911’s, some neat pocket pistols - 248, 232.

But my glocks are for defense and action pistol competition when it has to work. Took me a while to get past the ugly - but bang every time is a strong selling point for me.

If you don't have a Glock you will probably have all your toes a lot longer. Jack.

Glocks aren't just guns. Glocks are a culture. You either buy into the culture or you'll never quite get it.

Ya, I'm not smart enough to comprehend that comeback.
