Why do some people love Glocks so much?

[Mac_Fan]

Of all the handguns I've owned over the years, my Glocks are the only ones I have absolute confidence in.

 

[greydog111]

Because its a good companion for my 1911.

Kinda like a friend asking you to take his fat ugly cousin from out of town on a date! Greydog.

"Pretty ? no I.m not looking to impress the person who will see my weapon , I'm looking to perforate him"

Still laughing!! Great comment sir.

 

[Gunner3456]

Because they'll do this..every time..with ZERO malfunctions of any kind...

Not bad from 200 yards.

 

[Smoke It]

I think the biggest reason I love them is I never have to worry about failures of any sort .
if you drop it in a mud puddle it will still work if it gets debris in it. It will still work flawlessly ect ect ect

I think of my Glocks as tools just as I think of a lot of things I own as tools. They fit nicely in my hand, they are accurate, I like the trigger, and they get the job done every time. They are also lightweight, reasonably high capacity and affordable.

........ I think in 100 years the Glock will be every bit as classic as the 1911. May John Browning forgive me.

I think John Moses Browning would have been a Glock fan. My belief is that he would have respected Gaston Glock's innovation and ability to think outside the box.

Hate to be redundant, but, do you marry an ugly girl just to get LXXd, or would you rather wake up next to a beauty and go back for more? Plus, your friends will have more respect for your taste!

I just like black stuff.

 

[kickstart my heart]

Reliable, simplistic, holds lots of rounds, reasonably accurate, priced right.

 

[G1GRANDEUR]

I just like black stuff.

You know what they say about black stuff.

Two things I don't like Glock's are the grip and born ugly.

Well just put a paper bag on its head and there ya go.

My glock is my daily conceal weapon like the paper bag and it doesn't weigh as much as my 1911. Got'em both.

I dont get why everyone thinks they're so ugly. Simplicity is beautufull! I love my Glocks and think the my G23 is a nice lookin gun.My 21sf? Yes a little bulky,but you dont have to worry about puttin a lot of rnds down range either.I love my Kimber too,but It sets in the safe more than my glocks. Go stuff your 1911 in the mud then fire 500 rnds through it.Cant do it.Thats why your instructions say "must be cleaned and oiled regularly to function properly" **** my Glocks will run fine full of dirt and no lube at all.GLOCKS ROCK!

Ahh forget it, it's already been said. Time to put this thread to bed.

I'm gonna have to re-read my my Glock owner's manuals, I don't remember the part where it advises AGAINST regular cleaning and lubrication, opting instead for the "full of dirt and no lube at all" route.

I love the "full of dirt" argument that always pops up when people are talking about their love for Glocks. Please sir, post a picture of YOUR Glock stuffed with dirt, then I'll believe you've actually done this and it's not just something you've read about on the internet.

Nah. He'd have dismissed him for the one trick pony that he is.

Is that his video?

Besides, this was the part I meant for him to put up some proof upon:

Go stuff your 1911 in the mud then fire 500 rnds through it.Cant do it

Maybe he just meant that you can't do that with a Kimber because they are overpriced garbage.
