The three schools of Glock
Heh:
convince him a)that Glocks are useless pieces of tupperware and make the baby JMB cry. b) that Glocks are simply what St. Gaston says, “perfection.” c) of any other strongly held belief.
Well, c) would be they’re damn fine guns.

Except that they are butt ugly and have the worst possible grip angle unless you have double jointed wrists. But then if your wrists are that supple, the stupid things will stove-pipe on account of they don’t like to be handled by pansies.
And I just read a harrowing tail of a trip to the range with a brand new Glock on the high road here:

I just felt a drop of the baby JMB’s tears.

I just dropped by THR. This is what the guy said.
The trigger fell off? Taped it back on?? Something got stuck and I just about shot my nose off when I looked down the barrel?!?!?!?!? And it get’s worse from there.
It’s a joke folks

And since I’m slow, it took me ’till now to figure out that the funny story is Ben’s.

I’ve got a glock mod. 22 w/ factory night sights and the light rail, which wears a M3 light as part of its house-gun duties. Pros: 100% reliable, 100% reliable, 100% reliable. Cons: weird trigger, no manual safety, a bit bulky for concealed carry. But I don’t carry it concealed. Rather it’s a car gun/house gun, and I know it’ll work when I need it. Perfect, no, but I trust it with my life.

I like Glocks. I like Colt 1911 45s. Which do I like better? After the work on the Colt it is slightly more accurate. But if I had to wear one I would prefer the Glock. I don’t get the grip angle gripe. Is that a joke Ben?
