Re: I never thought I'd own a Glock...
Some people love them, some hate them. I have several and would trust my life to any of them.

Re: I never thought I'd own a Glock...
I have a G17 and 19. I use them for range work, but not carry. I do like them. My biggest problem was the screwy doohick you had to press down to field strip it. Then I discovered that there are aftermarket extended doohicks, and things are just peachy now.

Re: I never thought I'd own a Glock...
I’ll chime in here....always hated Glock due to the weird grip angle and the 2x4 feeling in my hands and the weight (I don’t carry compacts/subcompacts). And the factory trigger is atrocious. Loved my sig 250, and my FNP9 and absolutely regret selling them.
Fast forward To last year I had the option to take my sisters g17 gen4. Carried that all summer and sold it in October last year, swore I’d never buy another Glock. Guess what? I now carry another Glock 17 and begrudgingly call myself a Glock guy now 🤣. With some minor tweaking the trigger can be made better (ghost connector and springs, vickers flat face trigger shoe, $0.25 polish job, etc) and redeems the horrible qualities of the gun
I want a 19 gen4 with the finger grooves as a carry gun now after I shot another poofa members gen4s. That arguably makes the Glock a much more comfortable pistol to own and takes the 2x4 feeling away. The strange grip angle I can deal with from there. Paired with the simplicity and proven reliability of Glock I’m sold.

I totally respect the Glock platform but for me it*s all ergonomics I haven*t found one to fit my hands yet. It*s what I love about my S&W M/P fits in my hand like it belongs there .
Congrats on your purchase ....it*s always nice to add to the collectionFortuna audaces iuvat

Re: I never thought I'd own a Glock...
Enjoy your Glock. I never thought I'd be a Block fan either. I carry Sig 365 during the warmer months and a fully customized G19 g4 during the heavy clothing times. Initially I had very little affection for the G19 but, after replacing/upgrading all of the internals and a trigger replacement it has been one of my favorites; next to Sig 229, Walther PPQ v1 and a customized S&W M&P 2.0. Glock is good stuff and easy. Have fun and get proficient.

Re: I never thought I'd own a Glock...
I have guns I like better - Sig & H&K - but this is such a good combination of size, capacity, and reliability, it*s tough to beat.
