i may buy others but never will ditch my glock..
Ah yes, I love it when someone brings up the glock. The glock fanboy army converges on them and suddenly its like watching a gaggle of monkeys trying to hump a football.
Really, just pick the weapon that best fits your hand and personal preferences. Glocks are good weapons but so are XDs and rugers.
Gosh, I could say the same thing about the 1911 platform. I have shot a lot of different guns through a 35 year competition shooting career. In fact, I held a Glock in contempt for decades. Now I use Glocks exclusively for personal defense guns and for some competition.I've matured and been through and outgrown the Glock/polymer gun stage in my life...........never to return.
Yes, but in order to do this, they create a grip angle that causes many people, myself included, to need to break their wrist forward from it's natural pointing position to align the sights.An often overlooked thing is the bore axis relative to the shooter's hand gives much less muzzle flip than a similar weight firearm firing the same load.
You can crack a plastic frame dropping it wrong, but an overbuilt solid piece of steel (not the thin crap some make) can be dropped, kicked, rolled over, and still function.
You can't use a piece of plastic as a club, a big junk of metal leaves that option available.
