Non-Political Gun Talk (On topic)

Single action, double action, whatever you're feeling. No magazines to stop and load, and the reloading process itself is simply more enjoyable. Oh, and you can twirl them.

I can understand loving something mechanically even though it is mostly inferior to other stuff.

I really love glocks. To me it is like the perfect handgun straight out of the box. They are ugly little killing machines meant for one purpose.
Everything else just feels stupid, waste of money and why bother.

I just don't understand why they're so expensive.

Autos are OK if you just want to pick up something to shoot. Revolvers are a lot more interesting. Especially if you reload.

 

[El Correcto]

I would add 9mm to that as well. I don’t like any other caliber anymore.

More parts, more complicated construction, and often made entirely with stainless steel. Also very little market competition relative to semiautos. And with Colts you also have the prancing pony tax. Brazilian and Italian imports are often priced more comparable to a typical auto though.

Far more flexibility in ammo for revolvers. Plus more reliability with any ammo.

That's another thing that's nice. They'll eat whatever grab-bag mix of bull I can scrounge up with no objection.

I'll never own one, mainly bc the only ones I was really attracted to on paper (Taurus Judge and S&W Airlite J-frames) are too small for my hands.

Could always try bigger aftermarket grips. Hogues are pretty filling. And if you don't intend to use it as a concealed carry gun, you could always skip the J-frame and try an L or N frame.

I don't like Glocks. I think they're ugly, square shaped guns.
Ya, I know I know, they're super reliable...

 

[sailfish]

H&K VP9 for the win.

I need to get out with my 1858 Remington before my Pyrodex goes bad.

Definitely would not recommend twirling a Glock.

 

[sailfish]

Hell yeah.

 

[over9five]

Hell yeah.

I want a guide rod laser for my Glock

 

[sailfish]

Don't get much better than this.

Well, it will when my silverblack grips from the OEM come.
