My Thoughts: Glock 17

[Ping]

I kinda like Glocks but am not scared to try other brands.

One is a work of art and a marvel of engineering for it's time while the other is a tool and a marvel of engineering for it's utter simplicity.

Can we get that on a motivational poster?

and yes I own one of each, both in .45ACP. One is a tweaked S&W 1911,..a future family heirloom, and a reliable test of time that will work if ever needed. The other, a G21, I can fall in the swamp, ding, it, scratch it, have it caked in mud and sand, shoot cheap Russian ammo out of it, rinse it and give it a cleaning in a S. Florida canal, and enjoy the high capacity going bang every time.

But I do love both.

It's not the weight of the pull, it's the length of it .

That's the ONLY reason I don't carry a Glock..
I heard a comment on Glocks a few months ago that Glock should adopt and pay the guy for.. He said "If you treat your gun like you treat your lawn mower, get a Glock".. I can't think of a better endorsement..

LOL.
The only complaints I have heard about Glock that I would really consider valid are my own dislike of the length of the "DA" trigger pull, and some people don't like the grip.
Both are matters of personal taste and no reflection on Glock.

By the way, I meant to compliment JDePietro on a very good  review.

It seems that many people new to glock triggers tend to group shots left at first (right handed).  I would bench rest the gun before making adjustments to the sights. 
I think that once you get used to the safe action trigger it will grow on you.
Have fun with your new pistol!
