I just can't buy a Glock.

[peterk123]

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

I thought was a Sig

Did someone 3D print this? Ugh.

 

[Picton]

I'm not a fan either. I owned one for 12 years, so I know whereof I speak.

There are many things worse than Glocks, though. Like useless threads virtue-signaling about how you're never going to buy a Glock.

 

[appraiser]

Glocks are what they are, basic tools that do the job

A vintage S&W revolver, or a nice 1911 are works of art that double as guns.

Nobody fondles a Glock, but lots of people will hold a classic firearm and appreciate the beauty, fit, finish and machining that went into creating it.

 

[IPSC_DRL]

It may be ugly but it's a dang yeet cannon bro!

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

 

[LuvDog]

ok great. I have plenty and while I don't shoot them often, they are tools and they just plain work.

Just like a Camry or Accord work. Not everyone needs or wants a Lamborghini.

 

[nordic alien]

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.

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

Weak, weak comeback...

Same here.
Get a shadow systems or even an arex delta gen 2

Honestly though, I want a yeet cannon more than any glock.

 

[ReluctantDecoy]

Shadow Systems is like a fancy P80 kit. That is to say, it's pretty much a Glock Gen 3, but with modern flair. Subjectively nicer looker than a stock Glock, but still very much a Glock clone at its core.

 

[drgrant]

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

Not really, unless we're going to define a Continuous intolerance of shit that doesnt work as a culture. And glock is basically one of several brands of "gun medicine" you can buy. that medicine includes such desirable side effects as 'actually working" and "having a absolutely HUGE ecosystem of parts and expertise to dip into".




equals:



Companies like CZ, Sig and others make other gun medicines as well...

This isn't like "Jeeps" or people putting ducks on the window, or jeep waves. Or Harley Davidson or anything like that.

Yeah there are some fags on some forums that are like "GWOCK IS THE BEAEST!!! MLARC MLARC!! QUAC QUACK!!!" the rest of us just
use/carry them relatively unknown...

So is the arex.
But they dont share parts and its actually modern and fairly priced.

I was on the fence about the shadow systems for the longest time(warrior poet edition one)

Went with the arex instead for marginally cheaper
Didnt really want to spend 1400 for a polymer glock copy

Here ya go.

I think I would have gone Arex as well. But that said, Shadow Systems does have Glock parts compatibility. From their own website:

Shadow Systems parts are also compatible with the Glock platform. Use Shadow Systems parts to complete a pistol upgrade to your existing Glock or pair Shadow Systems parts with your 80% frame to finish your home build.

Fancy P80 gun.

Who are you trying to impress with a "good looking" gun?

I'm right there with you OP. They're ugly as sin... They're like mopeds and fat chicks.... Fun to ride until your friends see you..

 

[ReluctantDecoy]

The artwork is well done, but I feel like this is putting chrome rims on a farm tractor.

 

[puška m70]

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

Yessiree, too many big words that I don't even know the meaning of. I'm serious, I literally had zero idea what OP was trying to say.

 

[BONESTOCK]

This REALLY makes me want to run out and buy a .40

Yes absolutely a Glock in .40
FowTaay ? Help we out here, how do I say it correctly.

It's time for me to listen to Simply Red now and day dream about that sweet Glock goodness

 

[Waher]

Tractor's used to be fancy lookin'

Consumers used to demand that everything be as beautiful as possible. Artifice was a virtue of commercialism. Then that fell to the wayside during WW2 and the world has been painfully ugly because 'cheap' ever since.

 

[Penniepup1]

Any time you go near one, just drink until it gets pretty.

 

[Coyote33]

some neat pocket pistols - 248

What is a 248?

Yessiree, too many big words that I don't even know the meaning of.

I don't care if a defensive pistol is pretty. I just care that it works.

 

[Coyote33]

Glock isn't going to win any beauty contests, I actually like the utilitarian look of them

those of us that own them care very little about any of that

Brother you ain't seen ugly till this;

my glocks are for defense and action pistol competition when it has to work

So, if you're for pure utility, then the Hi-Point must be in your collection, right? It is known for its ruggedness and reliability. Why would anyone NOT want one?
