thinking about going to the dark (glock) side. what do i need to know?

[shrewd]

so i was thinking about selling my kahr cw9 and picking up a walther pps

my roommate has the PPS and its such a sweet pistol and it fits great in my hand.

i've never really been a glock fan. one of the first pistols i shot was a glock and i disliked the grip angle and never wanted to touch one again. that was over a year ago and i've shot almost every weekend since.

a few weeks ago i had some private instruction with jeff bloovman (who i'd recommend for anyone) and he let me shoot his glock a bit. man, it felt really good. i especially dug the xs big dot sight and that trigger. so, amazingly to me, a compact 9mil glock is on my radar. i'm guessing the G26.


Is there anything I need to know about the glock? It will be IWB carry around 4 oclock. I hear some glocks have issues with the slide rails in the frame breaking off?

I'll be at glock day at SPAG tomorrow at some point to try a few out.

what say you?

Just a couple things you need to know:

1. You will shoot yourself in the leg.
2. How to use a trauma kit.
3. How to dial 911.

Seriously though, I don't have a Glock, so I can't do anything else but help to perpetuate a stereotype.

You'll shoot yourself in the leg kid.

Buy plenty of ammo and mags and shoot the shit out of it, that's about it.

Keep your finger off the trigger until you're on target!

I use to be the same way, hated glocks til one day I said I'm gonna see what its all about. I bought a used 23, and I liked it alot but I traded it in on a super Blackhawk44 lol. But i just went out yesterday and bought a brand new 23. I love carrying it Idk how glock did it but in a inside the waste band holster I dont even kno its there. It goes bang every time, and ya there aint a saftey but it'll be in a holster with the trigger covered....and a gun is ad safe ad the person handling it. I'd suggest one to anyone. Just my 2 cents

All you need to know about the Glock 26 is go for it. What an outstanding package! The only thing I didn't like was the sights. Not that they weren't accurate, but I like these a whole lot better:

I have these on my 27 and let me tell you, Perfection improved .

No lead bullets (due to polygonal rifling). Other than that you'll be good to go.
