Everytime I say I'm done with these, I keep coming back. Guess there is one advantage to getting older, is you finally realize what works and fits.
You can beat these to hell and they come back for more, and while some hate the grip on this, oddly enough they fit my hand.
Picked up a Gen 2 M17. Holster wear, but the innards are clean clean. 2 high capacity mag's and the nitesights are dim.
But, a Glock in the mid 3's I cant turn down.
Great deal? No. Decent? Yup I'm happy.

I am a glockaholic as well. I too have deviated (most recently a FNX), but I am once again back to my Glocks.

Once I figured out a holster that I could live with for IWB carry and figured out that my particular Glocks were cast bullet safe, I've never looked back. The 19 fits my hand better than any handgun I've ever held. The light weight, dependability, and durability just can't be beat in that price range.

Ive owned 10 different glocks in the last 4 years. I have recently branched off to the xdm model springfields and couldnt be happier. I still own a nicely modified 19 but cannot get over the comfortability of the xdm! I love glock and will always be a glock fan but with compact model handguns the springfield xdm are more accurate!

Never cared for glocks. Nothing against them, was just always a sig guy. Went to the glock armores school last year and have become a fan. Own a few now, and have become a fan, sold all but a few of my sigs.

I have shook hands with a few, even walked in the park, but NEVER had a serious relationship. One has never spent the night at my house.

Seems like I constantly hear people becoming Glock fans after the armorers school. I seem to recall a guy that had been to both Glock and Springfield armorers school and wouldnt touch the Springfields afterwards.
I never really cared for Glocks until I bought one. They are truly well built machines. Now with the Gen4, they finally fit my hands and I have no reason to dislike them anymore

i wasn't a glock fan until i bought one (26) and realized how easy to maintain they are. for a pistol that is going to get shot/carried/used a lot they are great..at least in 9mm. now i want another (19 this time). still not convinced on the .40's though.

Yeah my first experience with Glock was my G26 as well. I went 3 years trying out different carry guns. I found the smaller I went the more unreliable the guns became. The reliable ones were to big or bulky. The G26 was my last experiment and its been my carry gun for 4 yrs now. Only thing I did was change from Gen3 to Gen4 when they came out.

They work. All the time. As reliable as a hammer. I had my 9mm's all Beretta but a 34 and a 17L are in the safe.

I've owned 5 and never had a malfunction, ever. I dont shoot all that much but I would say 5k-6k rounds without a hiccup is pretty amazing.

I'm actually trying my own little torture test at the moment. My Glock 22 vs my HK USP. They are both tied with around 500-600 rounds a piece without a failure and without cleaning.

Have a 26 and a 17 at the house, only other one that would really, really trip my trigger would be a 34. I know if I find one I will cave in.

Carried a 30 for a couple of years while I was working. Looking at the sights on that thing was like looking down the flight deck of an aircraft carrier.

Sold over thirty guns this year, including a G32, and four cabinets. When I retire I'm gonna try and get most of them back, haha. Oh yeah do have a G19 and trying hard to keep it close.

Used to hate them as they just didn't fit my hand right. Then the SF came out, and I thought there might just be hope. Couldn't decide between a XD Tactical or 21SF. Rented both and shot them side by side. That was it, G21SF for life. Absolutely the most comfortable recoiling 45 I have ever shot and just about perfect as-is right out of the box.
