I think I'm gonna start a war with this one.
I was at my local gun dealer today and I picked up a Glock for the first time. My first thought was, "Hell, this thing's light...." which was a bit of a turn-off when I thought about shooting a 10mm through it. The guy at the counter assured me that the glock did not kick as much as other 10mm's because the polymer frame "bent" when shot, soaking up some recoil. This turned me off slightly, since I don't like the idea of my guns "bending". He's a Glock dealer, so I assume he would know what he was talking about.
I've been wanting a 10mm for a while, and it's between a Tanfolgio Witness and the G20. Now, I was once completely set on the Tanfolgio, but now the glock seems to be a very good choice. No need to put in a new recoil spring, it's availble nearby, and I don't have to put up with EAA's customer service.
My question is this: How different are these guns in terms of reliability and accuracy? What about felt recoil?
I promised myself I'd never buy a glock, but it's pretty tempting. Even though they look like little toys.
