Glocks aren't bad guns, never said they were.
I wouldn't trade my G20 for anything.
Maybe I didn't say what I meant correctly.
How about this?
There are better guns for new shooters.
Sounds like he definately knows what class of gun he wants, strangely, a glock wasn't in his original list.
A glaring omission? Hardly.
If a Glock was what he wanted, he wouldn't have asked what he should get.
Glocks are almost a category to themselves, a DAO, yet with the short pull of a single action, no mechanical safety, no decocker, no hammer, a fairly unique manual of arms.
Sounds like (to me, anyway.) that he has decided that glocks are better left to others, unless they were an amazing write-in vote, which I notice they are not.
Nothing wrong with that.
Glocks are good guns, if a Glock is what you want, buy it.
If Glocks are what you want, you kinda know it, maybe a Zen thing. Maybe it's in the water.
But once you have a Glock, other guns will feel strange to you, and if you like more conventional guns, then Glocks will feel strange to you.
I wouldn't have written a book, but it seems I must project my views better than the protracted paragraph that I wrote earlier.
