That guy has a SERIOUS amount of free time, apparently. :)

He's got something on them.
(Maybe i should have added "Don't try this at Home"?)

Cute. But somebody definitely has too much time on their hands :laugh:

I'm a known glock hater here, and i concur :P

Dudes! No! My Gen 3 Glock 23 is by far the best, most reliable firearm I have ever owned. I HAD a Kimber Eclipse Pro 2 at one time. Unfortunately I had to sell it to pay bills. I dont think I had it long enough to really appreciate it though. But, Im sure I would have liked it just as much as my G23...(insert smart assed grin here).

What do you expect from a dude that would wear an abercrombie shirt?

....up until it started not working.
Man, Kimbers just look gorgeous. Right up till the fail. [sigh]
(Note: This is NOT an invitation for everyone to tell me how amazingly reliable their beautiful Kimbers are, or at least have been for the last 300 rounds.)

Zero chance of that happening.
Glocks don't feel comfy in my hand, I don't care for their sight picture, etc.
For similar price range, the springfield xd's were a little better imho... still didn't really like those either.
Love my Sig :).
That said, Glock's a fine weapon... but no thanks. Not ever. The closest I'd ponder a glock is for 10mm goodness... but I won't trade ergonomics for 10mm power tyvm.

All Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!!!
Nicely Rendered Video. Haven't seen anything this good on the Forum since Huskergun's earlier opus magnum.
But then, Joe Dirt is one of my all-time faves, too.
Now....

Yes. Your are Right. Glocks are Bad. [But then, Guns are Bad, too. All guns. I read it in the New York Times and Washington Post. ] Put all your Bad Glocks and Other Bad Guns in a basket out on the porch. They will be gone in the morning.

Love my gen 4 23... I have pretty big hands so the 2x4 grip doesn't bother me. But the 45 and 10mm glocks do have one heck of a thick grip, would never get one of those. When I show people a glock at the store and they say it feels to thick I move them over to some Walther P99/PPQs or Magnum Research Baby Desert Eagles, they have a thinner grip where the webbing between the thumb and index finger contacts the gun and they love them. I probably would have gone with a Walther if the dang magazines weren't so ridiculously priced. My biggest problem with Glock is the polygonal rifling, because of this I have put more rounds through all my other handguns. I'm debating an aftermarket barrel with cut rifling so I can shoot the oh so cheap lead bullets. Overall I love it but I understand people have different tastes and would prefer they get one that fits them the best.
-
Hmmm, the fat grip of my G30 and the polygonal rifling are the reasons I bought one.
The grip greatly reduce the felt recoil impulse by spreading the energy over a wider area.
The polygonal rifling squeezes maximum velocity out of the shorter barrel, so there is little velocity lost compared to a 5" barrel.
I guess it comes down to why you want a handgun, for the most effective self defense tool in the compact size, or a range toy.
-
Don't know about you all but I laughed my ass off at that vid. Love the beat down of the home intruder. Good stuff. Oh and by the way I chose the Springfield XD over the Glock. I liked the grip better and the trigger on the XD was much much smoother.

You forgot to tell them to send me a note that they were putting all those nasty guns out there before they do.
-
As a convert to Glock, I have to admit that I like it better than the XD. Once the Gen 4's came out, the grip fit my hand better and I just shoot better with it. Doesn't hurt that I've gotten 2-3 "free" ones from GSSF too! :)
-
My first Glock was about 25 years ago, a G21. I sold it and went with a Glock 21 about 20 years ago.
I owned a gun store, so I was always handling different handguns. Never found one I liked better, or that shot better for me.
The high capacity mags is a real plus. I like 1911's, but I am never going back to half rations of ammo again.
How could someone do a trash a Glock video and forget to heckle the safety trigger system? The only weakness I have found in Glock is no exterior safety, which I rectified with Safe-T-Blok.
-
A lot of work went into that video...

Personal preference, but I like not having an external physical safety on my Sig :)

Great movie! However, nothing beats ADDING an external trigger block safety to an already great handgun. That is what some of us have discovered.

Regarding the Safe-T-Blok, Ive never really had a chance to play around with one. Looking at it online it doesnt appear that it can be operated with both hands. If forced to use your gun with your support hand only, is there a way to get it out of the trigger guard?
Being a plan for the worst kinda guy I wouldn't carry a gun with a safety that wasn't ambidextrous.

It is sold right handed, and left handed, but not both ways in one unit.
There is another unit that is ,

This is more for smaller Glock's that you might want in your pocket.

I don't hate Glocks, in fact I wanted to like them but they never felt right or pointed naturally so I've never owned one. My XDm now feels like a part of my hand...
-
my M&P 40 fits in my hand pretty good... and my M&P22 feels good too. was never a fan of Glocks or XD's.... but then again, i've never shot one either, just fondled them at gun stores.

I don't have an issue with handguns with no external safety, as long as it is single action, or a double action with a long 12 pound trigger pull. Mixing a light short trigger pull with double action seems way to opportunistic for accidents to happen. When I discovered external trigger block safeties, that is what influenced me to accept a Glock over my 1911 style Star PD.
In fairness, millions of Glocks do not accidently fire when in use as duty weapons. It is not the millions I am the most concerned about, it is my weapon I want to be comfortable with.
My wife got a kick out of that parody video, even watched it twice, laughing the whole time.
-
The Beretta Nano does not have a safety slide, but it does have a prefix-trigger lock that prevents the gun from firing if it is dropped accidently. The trigger pull is long.
-
This test pretty much shows, fate, dumb luck, ignorance, & misfortune, all have to converge for a Glock to go off without wanting it to fire. However, several times in everyone's life, FDIM do converge, so I play it safe, and block the trigger.

I have no problem carrying a gun without an external safety. A proper holster covers the trigger guard, and the gun will not "go off" unless the trigger is pulled. There are 4 laws to gun safety, and as long as I obey those laws, I have no need for an external safety. Any external safety, which is a mechanical devise, is bound to fail at some point in time. I would rather rely on my INTERNAL safety of my brain.
I am not trying to belittle anyone who feels that they want/need an external safety on a gun. I just don't see the need for it as long as the trigger guard is properly covered while it is being carried. If it is in your hand, then you most likely have it there for a reason. Don't put your finger on the trigger until you're ready to shoot and it won't fire.

He created a news Glock model, called the "Cricket". :laugh:
IF nothing else, the Glock makes a good plow!

Leave the weapon in double action mode with it's heavy trigger pull and then spend lots of time practicing 2-3 round shots with the first in DA followed by one or two SA. You'll eventually get better at the sudden trigger pull weight difference. Just all about practice.
It took me a long while to get adjusted to handling and carrying a weapon without an external safety with a round in the chamber at all times... but ya do eventually get there. I stuck with a heavy DA followed up by lighter SA just for peace of mind as well... instead of getting a DAO setup etc.
And, outside of 1911 C&L... who leaves a semi auto with the hammer cocked ?
