Glocks that Glock Fans hate
What are the Glocks that "Glock Fans" hate ?
I know that for a long time the G36 was giving lots of people trouble and all. So what are the Glocks that Glock fans hate ?
I am looking for one to get that I dont have and I am interested in hearing about the bad ones.

I really can't say that any Glock model isn't useful to someone or is a gun to avoid at all costs.
If you like abuse, post that you bought any .45 GAP.
If you want hundreds of people to praise your wisdom, sagacity and general goodguyness post that you bought an early G19.

The Gen4 26 had a bunch of ejection problems. I called Glock with mine and they sent me new ejector. I dropped it in and I'm at zero FTE in the last two cases of ammo. Remarkably accurate. I just bought the G36 and I'm having ejection problems with it. I've picked up good ideas off these forums I'm going to try. I expect I'll get it figured out. It too is remarkably accurate with little recoil. I haven't heard of any issues with others.

Anything in .45 GAP. I'm still not sure why they even exist.

For me it's any Gen4 due to the trigger breaks. Maybe because it's so close to the Gen3 triggers I've shot over the past 12 years but i just cant shoot that rolling/creeping break as well as my Gen3 guns.

Install a Siderlock or Cominolli safety on your Glock. You will then occupy ground zero for taking abuse on this website.

Any Glock that functions as a gun should regardless of caliber or model is a Glock I like.
A gun any gun that does not function is nothing more than a expensive fishing sinker.

I mainly only like them in 9mm, but I guess I'm not a huge Glock fan.

I don't care much for the 21. No reason why other than I think it's silly glock makes the slides and grips so big on the 45s and 10mms. Just get rid of the gap and put the ACP in those guns, or keep the gap and still do the same thing. Idk, I love my glocks but would not consider those models due to their dimensions

I have a good friend who is also my dealer. He warned me against a G36 when I ordered it. I had to have it and when I shot it...........he was right as usual..........not for me. Same thing with a Glock 33.

Well, no. You can't get ammo for it without ordering it special.
Hey, I have nothing against 45 GAP. It probably doesn't deserve to be singled out, except to say "hey wow, an oddball startup cartridge that's actually almost mainstream without being adopted by a major military!". That's a real achievement, but its not going to get it strapped to my waist.
In short, I ain't gonna but a puppy if I can't feed it.

Pretty much the same way I feel. For me to branch out and stock up a new caliber, it has to be worth it. Having slightly smaller gun dimensions on par with the 9's and 40's is not worth it to me.

Have any of you guys that keep saying, the only way you can get .45 GAP ammo in by ordering online. Have you ever just ask your local gun shop to start stocking it? I ask my local shop and they now stock it. The otherday the lady running the shop said she was surprised how much of the .45 GAP ammo she sells every month now that they stock it.

I have no problem at all ordering ammo online, I do it all the time. Heck, I can even reload .45GAP if I wanted to since I'm already reloading .45ACP. Brass would be a bit tougher to get, though.
Looking on AmmoToGo right now, I'm seeing the cheapest FMJ .45GAP at $0.48ppr, while .45ACP at $0.32ppr. That is a significant price difference for somebody not into reloading. All to get that slightly smaller grip

It really depends on where you order from. I order all my ammo at sgammo.com and as you can see the .45acp and the .45GAP is the same price.

I don't hate any glocks, but I wouldn't buy a GAP, or a .357 Sig, or a 10mm unless the price was dirt cheap.
posted from my stupid smart phone, please excuse any spelling mistakes.

Glock probably doesn't want to have to try and fit those longer cartridges in the smaller framed guns...would be a pretty tight fit.
In regards to the question, I don't care for the GAP varieties nor the 36.

I won't ever buy a 45GAP Glock. Nothing against the cartridge or the guns, I just don't have a need for it. But I'm debating on picking up the 357Sig models.
The 10mm, 45GAP, and 357Sig Glocks are probably the least popular/sold. The 10mm models are probably sold the least because very few, if any LE depts carry them.

If Glock ever put a keyed internal safety lock, external safety or decided to inscribe the written context of their warning manual on the frame of their beloved pistols, I'd hate every last one of them.

I'm really not a fan of any of the glocks that aren't 9mm, except for the 36. The rest all shoot rather snappy, compared to their tamer 9mm brethren.
