Two New Glocks Coming
- Thread starter dougiemac
- Start date
And both make a metric fuck ton of money lol... Theyre doing something right.
Never said they weren't. They are both marketing geniuses and run their businesses very well.
I love glocks, it pains me a little to be trading my 19 away.
That said, glock has been riding on their history of reliability and law enforcement use for a very long time.
The last several years the striker fired pistol market has grown a lot with all the major manufacturers making them and all of them have been reliable with the exception of a few hiccups. Glocks main benefit at this point is availability of aftermarket parts and holsters. Aside from that there is not a huge benefit to them over their competitors.
I think in the coming years, with the gun industry the way it is glock is going to step their game up and start making some more drastic changes or they will start to see their sales begin to decline in favor of guns with better ergonomics and triggers that can be had for the same price.

I don't hate Glocks, I simply don't like them. I'd rather risk my P320 falling from over my head and shooting me or my HK failing when I pull it out of a sloppy pit of mud.
I fondled a 320 compact. Felt much bigger in my hand than my 19. If it werent for that Id have one. I like them a lot.
HK is another story lol...
My HK is a P30 and actually the hammer guns didn't have the issues that the VP9 had in the torture test. The HK is my go to EDC & my favorite medium frame polymer pistol. That and a P290 when I need subcompact for deeper concealment reasons.
I will say that the G19 carries and conceals very well. I loved it more when it was in the holster than I did when it was in my hand. Owned and traded my first and last two Glocks recently. There is some appeal, but overall I don't see what all the hype is about. I had more failures with those two guns than I've had with hk, sig and m&p combined.
Sounds self inflicted... What failures occurred with them?? Ive had veryyyyyyyy few glock issues and all of which were entirely self inflicted.
I'm the opposite, I have never had a problem with any glock I've owned but had FTE with the USP I had and several double feeds with a M&P.
I wanna love the M&P. That sumbitch is just unlovable. Recently picked up a 2.0 to give it another try and had to stop carrying it cause the placement and pertrusion of the mag release button causes the magazine to get released by the holster. Every time I stand up from my desk or get out of the truck I have to pick the magazine up off the ground.
Hahahahahahaha wtf. What holster are you running? Most makers dont put kydex over the mag release, although I do see an occasional goofball doing it... If its a hybrid, id be surprised if the leather was able to do that.
Yeah early gen 4s had mad fte issues. Stupid glock trying to change shit that wasnt broke..
