I currently own 7 Glocks. I’ve been shooting them for 35 years. I’ve shot over 50,000 rounds through Glocks. Most of those are 9mm but some .40S&W. I’ve never had or seen a Glock kaboom.

I’ve never had the rifling lead up, but I don’t shoot bare lead bullets.

Only the earliest unlined Glock mags didn’t drop free — that was a design requirement from the Austrian Army. Glock mags have been drop free for decades.

No, the sights aren’t in any way reminiscent of a WWI 1911. The stock Glock sights do suck, so I replace them immediately.

The trigger isn’t great. The ergonomics are a touch better now, but still feels like a brick. But they are reliable, accuracy is decent, they are cheap, and the capacity is good.

I’ve had a lot of 1911s, which are the polar opposite in many ways, but these days I carry and compete with Glocks.
