Used to be anti-Glock now...............
I'm Glock positive!
Our youngest son got a job right out of high school as a Corrections Officer with the local County Sheriff's office. I was one of those folks that "didn't want a toy gun" or "any piece of plastic" to protect my life. That was until son #2 came home and said he had shot one of the county's Glocks and I just had to shoot one!
Now, I had spent a lot of time indoctrinating this kid to my way of thinking and how dare he come home with such a challenge!
Well, our local range had a rental gun, a Glock 22, 40S&W, so I asked to shoot it once and fell in love! (Well, kinda, strong like, maybe!)
Since then I have bought several. One was the new RTF version Glock 22. That thing would stay in your hand no matter how sweaty it got! Not in mine though. I left it at my daughter and son in law's the last time we were there. Now he carries it everywhere!
Then, just the other day I was at our local outdoor gun club range. I heard an oversized fellow telling this slender little woman all about the gun she "ought to buy". "You should get a Taurus like mine." Only he went on to tell how his had been back to the factory several times. The M85 he had needed to be played with to get the thing to work after you closed the cylinder! What did she need something like that for. And then came the coups de gra. "You don't want one of them plastic guns, not like those Glocks, I hate them."
I listened to it about as long as I could. I picked up my Smith and Wesson revolvers, let her shoot the M14 with a 6" barrel just for laughs and headed to the truck. As I was putting my stuff in, I thought about how I was won over, simply shooting one. I reached in the glove box for my truck gun, a Glock 26 and headed back to the range.
Of course, the pontificate was still going on about Glocks and yada, yada, yada, until I pulled it out of the small of my back. I carefully held it downrange and unloaded it and asked if he had any ammo she could shoot out of it. After all, she would probably turn her nose up at it seeing he had given her such good advice!
He gave her 5 rounds and she shot it. I asked her if she liked it and she said YES, that is just what I am looking for!
After a few more words were exchanged and Mr. Expert was sufficiently quieted, I gave her some pointers and my name to throw around at the local gun store, and left. As I was closing the gate and locking it, I turned to wave and found her looking after me. All I could think was, gotcha!
If you ever shoot one and know how to shoot, you will be hooked too.
Sure they are ugly. I never knew anyone that was looking at the business end of one notice that though!
Carry it concealed and no one will know you carry an ugly gun! The thing about it, when you do need to use it, it will work, period.
FWIW
