they go bang consistently and right where i aim it. also if you like you can get any and every mod and make them your own very easily.

 

Simplicity, reliability and smooth design translates to a more flawless draw.

I have shot many many pistols in the U.S. and out of the country. I have had a Glock since they came into the U.S. and still have that one today. It has a lot of rounds down the pipe and still no issues with it, I am very rough on my weapons and don't baby them for any reason.

It will either take the abuse or I will move on and pick another weapon. The other side of the coin is you can teach a monkey to take it apart and you can throw a rock and hit a dozen people who sell Glock parts.

Pretty damn simple in my book.

Easy to use, easy to clean, easy to shoot, very realiable, interchangable parts, good prices...just the quick thoughts off the top of my head for now.

 

They were designed for the world Military markets. Thus they had to work in every environment, reliably. And, By gosh, they did!

I think the USA came in as an after thought.

Who would have ever guessed it would be such a hit here, eh? :shocked:

 

I am new to handguns and the number one reason I chose Glock was reliability!

 

Hey koolaid!!!!!!!!!

 

In art it is called function follows form. Laymen’s terms.... it don't have to be pretty, it just has to go BANG! Every time you pull the trigger. What else do you need to know?

Reliable, accurate, easy take-down. Excellent firearm for an excellent price. Can't beat it.

 

reliable, cheap, and it fits my hand well.

 

That is like asking why do men like women.

Correct Answer! :rofl:

 

Because it just don't get any better than Glock, and you can take that to the bank!

+1 on that.

 

Simplicity, reliability and smooth design translates to a more flawless draw.

AND: all parts are widely available and reasonably priced, I can replace any one of those parts myself and the gun still works afterward, extremely corrosion (rust) resistant, good customer support, accurate enough, good trigger for a SD gun. The mags and all replacement parts are much lower priced than just about any other gun make. Go price a H&K 45 mag.

 

The coupon for a lifetime supply of PBR didn't hurt.

 

Simplicity.
I can service the pistol myself.
Trigger reset.
Polymer coated mags.
Factory 33 round mags universal to the 9mm platforms.
Tenifer.
Teflon like finish make the internal surfaces very slick allowing little to no lubrication needed.
Lightweight.

 

And add on a nice looking firearm.

Yes, they are as pretty as the proverbial mud fence.

 

1-the price
2-they go bang when you pull the trigger
3-they eat anything

 

The durability and reliability of the Glock platform.

 

Relative to its magazine capacity and cartridge it is the lightest and simplest self defence pistol in existence. It also comes in the widest range of cartridges and is one of the few where 10mm can be chosen. It is smooth in profile and so easier to carry than most others. Its light weight makes it more comfortable to carry for many hours at a stretch. It is amongst the most reliable of pistols and might well be the most reliable of all in both normal use and under extremely dirty conditions. Given the fumble free advantage of not having a thumb safety, its trigger is adequate for over 90% of self defence situations but with relatively little effort and very little cost its trigger action can be greatly improved. It has a huge range of accessories available to it at reasonable cost. It has a plastic frame and this means that it is easy and cheap to modify parts that do not suit your hand. It has a very low, perhaps the lowest, bore axis to C of P on the back strap and so muzzle flip and felt recoil are minimised. The greater part of its weight is in its slide and this too reduces felt recoil. For all these advantages it is low in price. In absolute terms and relative to its durability and finish, its price is also low enough for accidental dings and scratches not to be a concern. It is a supremely practical pistol for practical purposes.

The order in which you prioritise these benefits is one of personal choice and expected use.

My Glock is the perfect counterpoint to the other love of my life, my wife.

My Glock is simple and easy to understand, not so my wife.
My Glock never complains and it does what I want it to, not so my wife.
My Glock is easy and cheap to maintain, not so my wife.
My Glock is butt ugly, not so my wife.

 

Features? I think the lack of features is probally one of the best parts. The gun shoots the bullet when the trigger is pulled, only when the trigger is pulled, and about every part of the Glock is for making this happen and getting it ready for the next round.

Parts are inexpensive, plentifull, and easy to find. A glock is a glock, and made by glock, so except a few minor detais, you know when you order parts for your Gxx you don't have to worry about what year it was made, or what manufacturer, or what edition your gun happens to be.

The Glock has become the benchmark due to it's reliability and consistancy. We often see copycats that "improve" the design, and we ask "why doesn't glock do this and that like the other manufacturer" but Glock stays the course and in a short time we find out why.

 

likely popular due to being newbie-friendly: anyone can adequately shoot and disassemble a Glock ...and most can afford one. The same cannot be said about a number of other pistols, some of which trump a Glock.
