Here a Glock - there a Glock - everywhere a Glock Glock

The pre-Glock Glock.

Just like Henry Ford didn’t invent the car.

And for the record, I ain’t a Glock hater. I have at least one each generation.

Don’t tell that to the H&K fan antics.

Those people are worse than those CZ crazies.

Have you been looking in the mirror again?

A friend of mine had one of those years ago. Terrible trigger. One unique thing about it, the barrel was fixed, no movement.

Pfft. Those CZ people don’t even know how to spell Glock they always use a bunch of asterisks.

And no, I didn’t look in the mirror. I find I have a higher opinion of myself without doing things like self reflection.

Yep. The trigger even looks like it’s bad doesn’t it? Lol

To me, the VP 70 is just one of those really iconic firearms that highlight how guns constantly evolve.

I could give a darn what gun you carry or what your favorite is. What ever works for you is what you should carry. Mine happens to be a 1911/2011, CZ or Sig. I have owned Glocks before and just didn’t like the grip angle. Would I own one again, yes. I think they are fine pistols.

Some of us have a high opinion of you also. And self reflection can be a good thing.

Ok, I stand corrected. I could've sworn I heard he carried a Hellcat.

I think that was a trolling on Arfcom to irritate the Glock fanbois who hate the fact that a Hellcat Pro is better than anything Glock makes.

My 1973 Walther PP has a fixed barrel too and I'm sure there were others, so not so unique but is a less common design.

I just can't get past the grip angle and the feel of a glock in my hand and they're too top heavy for my preference, it throws off the balance in my hand. All metal pistols do not significantly weigh enough more that it has ever had an impact on what I carry, I can carry my heavy ass 92FS all day and not really notice the weight at all. We're talking about less than 16oz. of difference (glock 19=1.48lbs vs 92FS=2.3lbs empty).

another snarky comment discounted. i told the last guy that i'm old and offended by your comment/representation.

I don’t care if you are offended or not

This is a forum where we both learn and have fun, I often times make fun of myself on here as well as my friends and strangers, If you can’t take a joke or a meme you may be in the wrong spot. I also posted information after the picture but yet you skipped that.

Could have come up with a better apology than that but I accept it.

I probably shoot more older guns than most, that said I bought a Glock G40 MOS a while back after trying out a friends pistol with electric sights. I've since had the cataracts fixed that moved me to make that purchase decision, but It's still a good pistol. 10mm is an interesting caliber.

I don't think we can answer some of the questions about plastic frame pistols until they have been around longer. The old campaigner here went with general Pershing's troops on the Mexican punitive mission in 1916 and still shoots without issue today.



Maybe there will be some Glocks go on the next mexican punitive expedition in the future and our descendants will finally have the answer.

Anyone have an HK VP70 that still shoots? 54 years ain't a bad run. But I guess it's still 59 years to early to compare.

Took me 30 years of shooting handguns before I finally ended up with a Glock and eventually wound up with four:

1- A G42 380 bought off INGO classifieds in 2018. Great shooting 380 although not totally reliable as I had malfunctions with Federal FMJ ammo which shot fine in an old PPK/S and LCP II. It is by far the softest shooting 380 I have ever fired and real pleasant to shoot.

2- Glock 48 came out and the grip fit me far better than the large double stack mag grips of Glocks I had handled in the past. A good shooting 9mm although I wish I had waited for the MOS to come out.

3- My friend told me he shot at the Camp Perry Glock match with his Glock 34 and I ended up buying one myself. The grip is a little too big for me but aside my much more expensive P226 this is the most accurate 9mm I have ever shot. This G34 definitely has a dislike for Aguila 124 FMJ as surprised to have several malfunction with it.

4- Glock 43X MOS , thought this would be the one I would like the best and would allow me to sell the G48 above. Could never shoot the G43X MOS nearly as good as my P365X or Smith Shield/Shield plus. This is the one I look most forward to parting with.

I just wish the Glock had an out of the box trigger on par with my Smith Shield Plus , most likely the reason I shoot the Shield much better than the above mentioned G43X. My Glock experience has been mostly positive but in regards to unsurpassed reliability my 2 P365s , 3 Smith Shields and even my 2 lowly LCP series have never malfunctioned with any factory or reloaded ammo.

But how many rounds does it have through it?
