To have another troll fest thread regarding 'why glocks are so great' to stack onto the other 1000 or so 'why glocks are so great' threads...

i thought this was apparent by now.

I'm not a Glock fan but that's just me. I will have to say that I am impressed by the reliability of Glockmeister's Glock avatar.

The way I've got it calculated that pistol fires almost 153,000 rounds per day. I never seen it have a FTF or a FTE. Now that's a reliable pistol.

LOL...this is the best post in this thread.

[Trekbike]

I had to edit my post because my calculation was wrong. Sorry. It hit me later that I messed up. It was a little less than 49,000/day.

Still that's a butt load of rounds.

[DWARREN123]

Most firearms do not fail but the operators do!

[strickj]

Wow!

I just read this entire thread backwards.

It was qinda like that backwards Scienfield episode... very entering

OK, here's my take on all of this. Glocks are famous and well respected because they offer one hell of a pistol for the price.....reliable, the most corrosion resistant finish on the market, decent ergonomics, combat accurate, and a high magazine capacity. However, ALL weapons are machines!!! When not properly cared for, or fed the right fuel (read ammo and lubrication) they will fail, sometimes with catostrophic results. Just about all the gun manufacturors have offered something that is innovative and unique. Smith was the first "wondernine: with the model 59. They did update the P38 design (and as an aside, the first commercially successful DA/SA was the Walther PP not the P38). Ruger created an updated "indestructable" single action, etc........

Guns are like cars.....they all do the same thing, but each maker offers a different look and a "different" way of doing the same thing. It boils down to "each his own"

Lastly...to the OP(and everyone for that matter)...don't hate! If you don't like Glocks (or whatever), then don't buy one. Carry an M&P, or whatever, and be happy. As long as the F'n thing goes bang and puts the little pointy thing where it needs to go then "live long and prosper"............whooooo..rant over.....

PS If you haven't tried Michelob Ultra *Lime Cactus* you NEED to.

I wish I knew how to post them,but Ive got pics of H&K's,M1A's,Colts,pistol and revolver,and a couple shotguns,all blown to heck for various reasons.

While standing on a Marine Corp firing line back in '85,I saw a 1911 literally come completely apart while firing.

I know the whole Glock thing has been overdone,but Ill put my G21 up against about any other pistol,any time.

I HAVE done so,and have a few trophies to prove it.

Umm, no thanks. I have testosterone in my body...

Smith was the first "wondernine: with the model 59.

IIRC, that award goes to the 1935 Browning Hi Power. I could be wrong, but I believe that is attributed as the first of the "wondernine's."

[strickj]

Yeah. No fruitè the beerè,eh!

You are wrong. "Wondernines" were defined as having a double action trigger mechanism and double stack mags.The Browning P35 Hi-Power has single action trigger.

[Steelharp]

I'd be curious to hear more confirmation of that. To refute your claim:

[Guest tbreed725]

That just backs it up.;)

Normally, I am a Bud Light man myself, but my wife (yeah go ahead and laugh) bought some before she went on her AT. I forgot to get some beer on the way home and was forced to try this stuff. And I was pleasantly surprised. And I swear it hits you harder than other beer.

Ugh.. fruity beers and weird things like 'smirnoff' make me sick to the stomach. The flavors and crap.. yuck.

[Steelharp]

That just backs it up.

For the most part, it does. It does lay claim to the BHP being the "grandfather" of the "wondernine," and a grandfather is never discounted from the family.

So, you are partially correct, and partially incorrect.
