Picking the best Glock used to be simple: buy a Gen5 G19 and go home. Then Glock blew up its own catalog. In late 2025, Glock confirmed a new V Series that started reaching shelves in December, and a long list of familiar MOS Gen5 models went onto Glock’s discontinued list. Weeks later came Gen 6, a separate update to the G17, G19 and G45 with a new optics mount, new texture and new internals.
So this 2026 update cuts the models you can no longer reasonably walk in and buy new: the G47 MOS, the G34 Gen5 MOS and the G17 MOS Gen5. The guns that remain are the ones with a GunsAmerica Digest review behind the model line and a clear path to buying one new today, either as a V or Gen 6 version or, for the Slimlines, as the same gun Glock has been selling.
Here is the honest part. Most of our hands-on testing on the G19 and G45 was done on earlier generations. Managing editor True Pearce shot the Gen 6 G17, G19 and G45 at Glock’s factory event, about 450 rounds with no malfunctions, but he is clear that a factory event is not an independent test. We have not run a full review of a G19 V or G45 V yet. Where the new versions change something, we tell you.
For the backstory on the catalog shake-up, read our report on Glock confirming the V Series. If you are shopping 9mm in general and not just Glock, our best 9mm pistols of 2026 puts the Glock family up against the competition.

Buyer’s Guide: How To Choose The Best Glock In 2026
Every Glock runs the same basic Safe Action idea, so choosing the best Glock for you is mostly about size, generation and how you plan to mount a dot. Here is how to sort it out now that the lineup has changed.
Size Class: Slimline, Compact, Crossover
Size is the whole game. Slimlines like the G43X and G48 are single-stack width with 10 rounds from the factory. The G19 is the compact that does everything. The G45 puts a G19 length slide on a full-size grip. Our look at which Glock Slimline to carry in 2026 breaks down the G43, G43X and G48 in more detail.
V Series Versus Gen 6
These are two different things, and the box matters. V models, marked with a V on the slide and frame, replaced a long list of older models starting in December 2025; Glock’s initial roster included the G17 V, G19 V, G19X V, G45 V, G26 V, G21 V MOS and G44 V. Gen 6 is a separate generation that launched with three 9mm models: the G17, G19 and G45. Read the slide and the box before you pay.
What Changed In Gen 6
Gen 6 drops the MOS plate system. The optic pocket is cut deeper, screws thread straight into the steel slide, and RMR and DeltaPoint Pro footprints are supported at launch. The frame gets a built-in beavertail, RTF6 texture, an undercut trigger guard, a fence around the slide stop and a slightly flared magwell, and every Gen 6 gun ships with a flat-faced trigger.
Parts And Magazine Compatibility
Gen 6 magazines work across prior generations, and standard Glock sight cuts carry over. The barrel, striker assembly, extractor parts, backplate and recoil spring assembly are generation-specific, and the trigger components are not interchangeable with earlier generations. If you build or swap parts, treat Gen 6 as a new ecosystem for now. Check fitment by generation before you buy triggers or internals for any V or Gen 6 gun.
Used Gen5 And Gen4 Guns
Discontinued does not mean bad. A used Gen5 or Gen4 Glock is still one of the most proven handguns you can buy, and plenty of good ones are on the used market. Inspect the gun, budget for a new recoil spring, and buy factory magazines.
Holster And Carry Method
Buy the Glock that fits how you carry, not the one that looks best in the case. A G45 on a belt in the house is great. Inside the waistband all day, a Slimline or a G19 is far easier to live with. Holster fit should stay largely the same on Gen 6, according to our first look, but confirm with your holster maker before ordering.
Best Glock Pistols Ranked: 2026 Picks
Glock 19 (G19 V or Gen 6): Best Overall Glock (2026)
The Glock 19 is quite possibly the most popular handgun on earth, and there is a reason. Clay Martin, a retired Green Beret, called it the pickup truck of firearms in his column on why he carries one: it doesn’t do any one job the best, but it does every job pretty well. He noted the G19 was extremely common in Special Forces during his time. It’s big enough to enjoy shooting, the wide body spreads recoil, and it carries 15+1 rounds of 9mm while still hiding under a shirt with a good holster.
Read our Glock 19 column here.
In 2026 you will buy it as either a G19 V or a Gen 6 G19. The Gen 6 brings the deeper optic cut, built-in beavertail and new texture covered in our Glock Gen 6 first look, where True Pearce shot about 450 rounds across factory samples with no malfunctions. Clay’s piece is an opinion column, not a lab test, and we have not reviewed a G19 V. Treat this pick as a lived-in endorsement of the model line, not a test of the newest version.
Key Specs
- Caliber: 9mm
- Capacity: 15+1
- Size: Compact
- Current versions: G19 V and Gen 6 G19
- Optic Cut: Gen 6 direct-mount cut, RMR and DPP footprints at launch
- Magazines: Gen 6 works with prior-generation Glock magazines
- Price: Check current listings
Pros
- Proven everywhere, from duty holsters to combat
- Right size for carry, home and range
- Huge aftermarket for magazines, sights and holsters
- Gen 6 adds a better optic cut and grip
Cons
- Gen 6 internals are generation-specific
- No full Digest review of a G19 V yet
- Not the easiest gun to carry IWB all day

Glock 45 (G45 V or Gen 6): Best Crossover Glock For Carry And Duty (2026)
The G45 is a G19 length slide on a full-size G17 grip. Law enforcement asked for it, and it adds front slide serrations and a flared magwell. Justin Opinion ran his 2019 test gun for about 500 rounds of mixed ammo over two days, including a Steel Challenge match and plenty of Mozambique drills, with zero malfunctions. He called the balance excellent, and his best group came from Speer Gold Dot LE 115 grain.
Read our full Glock 45 review here.
Today the G45 is sold as a G45 V and as one of the three launch Gen 6 models. Our test gun predates both and predates MOS on this model, so the optics and internals story comes from the Gen 6 first look, not from this review. The full grip still prints more than a G19, but it fills the hand, and the extra grip makes it easier to shoot fast.
Key Specs
- Caliber: 9mm
- Capacity: 17 rounds (as tested)
- Barrel: 4.02 in (as tested)
- Weight: 24.83 oz (as tested)
- Size: Crossover (G19 slide, full-size grip)
- Current versions: G45 V and Gen 6 G45
- Price: Check current listings
Pros
- Zero malfunctions in about 500 rounds
- Full grip with a shorter slide
- Excellent balance
- Uses full-size Glock magazines
Cons
- Full grip prints more than a G19
- Our review gun is an earlier generation
- No full Digest review of a G45 V yet

Glock 43X: Best Slimline Glock For Concealed Carry (2026)
The 43X keeps the slim 3.41 inch barrel of the G43 but stretches the grip, which bumps factory capacity from 6 to 10 rounds. That extra grip is what makes it easier to shoot while staying smaller than a G19. Clay Martin’s test gun shipped with Ameriglo Bold sights, which he recommended, and it never failed him over a few hundred rounds.
Read our full Glock 43X review here.
The aftermarket is the big story. Shield Arms makes a 15 round flush-fit magazine for the 43X. Clay was skeptical, but those magazines ran for him, and with them he called the 43X a serious contender for one of the best carry guns of all time. The 43X and G48 were not part of Glock’s big cut, so the guns on shelves are the same Slimlines we tested.
Key Specs
- Caliber: 9mm
- Capacity: 10+1 factory; 15 round Shield Arms flush-fit available
- Barrel: 3.41 in
- Weight: 18.7 oz (as listed in our review)
- Length/Height: 6.05 in / 5.04 in
- Frame: Slimline with built-in beavertail
- Price: Check current listings
Pros
- Slim and easy to conceal
- Full-hand grip for better control
- Big capacity boost with aftermarket magazines
- Unaffected by the V Series cut
Cons
- 10 rounds from the factory trails rivals
- Best capacity needs aftermarket magazines
- Shorter sight radius than the G48

Glock 48: Best Slim Glock With A Longer Slide (2026)
The G48 is the skinny G19 idea: a Slimline grip with a longer slide and barrel. Jeff Cramblit, who has shot Glocks since the original 17L, said it felt better than any Glock he had ever handled, because the smaller grip and shorter trigger reach finally fit his hand.
Read our full Glock 48 review here.
It weighs 20.75 ounces, runs 7.28 inches long, and holds 10+1 from the factory. His first box of ammo went through with no sign of malfunction, and he averaged just over 2.4 seconds on Bill Drills from the hip at 7 yards. The trigger averaged 6.2 pounds, heavier than he liked, but good enough for full magazines of headshots at 15 to 20 yards.
Key Specs
- Caliber: 9mm
- Capacity: 10+1 factory
- Length: 7.28 in
- Weight: 20.75 oz
- Trigger: 6.2 lb average as tested
- Frame: Slimline
- Price: $480 to $580 at time of review (2019); check current listings
Pros
- Great fit for smaller hands
- Longer sight radius than the 43X
- Light and slim for all-day carry
- Unaffected by the V Series cut
Cons
- 6.2 pound trigger on our test gun
- Longer slide is harder to hide than a 43X
- Factory capacity is 10 rounds

What Happened To The G47, G34 And G17 MOS?
Last year’s version of this guide ranked the G47 MOS, the G34 Gen5 MOS and the G17 MOS Gen5. Glock’s own product pages now mark the G47 MOS and G34 Gen5 MOS as discontinued pistols, and the G17 MOS Gen5 is on Glock’s discontinued list with the G17 V and Gen 6 G17 taking its place. They are still excellent used buys. They just do not belong in a guide to what you can buy new. The G21 Gen5 MOS also came out of the ranking, because Glock now lists a G21 V MOS and we have not reviewed it.
Which Glock Should You Buy?
One Glock for everything? The G19. Want more grip for duty or home defense with a carry-length slide? The G45. Carrying all day in light clothes? The 43X, and buy Shield Arms magazines. Want a slim gun that shoots like a bigger one? The G48.
Conclusion
The best Glock for most buyers in 2026 is still the G19, now as a G19 V or a Gen 6. The G45 is the crossover pick, and the 43X and G48 are the best Slimlines Glock makes, untouched by the big catalog cut. The Gen 6 changes are real and mostly overdue, but they come with generation-specific internals, so check parts fitment before you buy upgrades. If you already own a Gen5 or Gen4 that runs, there is no reason to panic-sell it. Those guns didn’t get worse because the catalog changed.
None of these pistols needs much from you except a good holster, quality magazines and practice. Mount a dot if you have the cut, put in the reps, and always secure your firearms from unauthorized hands. When we get a production G19 V or Gen 6 in for a full test, this guide gets updated.

I haved owned many pistols for carry and plinking.The Glock 34 and 26 have to be my 2 favorite of all.They have so many after market clothes for them and there is no better carry than the 26. And the 34 is the most accurate smooth shooting gun I have ever shot.However the Sig stainless elite 229 is my all time all around pistol made.

I will own every Glock model except for the Glock 18. I have two of some models. I only have a few more until I reach my goal! 🔫
why won’t you own a model 18 ?
Glock 21 gen 4 only the best
I’m a fan of the 30! Mine holds from 9-16 45acp rounds I shoot it well and am confident it will serve,but I hope to add a bigger 41 for range and home.but I’ll be keeping the 30.
It’s good business to make a glock to suit any desire and they pretty much do so
The Glocks are fine pistols but the other major manufactures have striker-fired designs that are the equal in reliability and superior in ergonomics. I would like to see Glock branch out into other designs instead of producing umteen variations of essentially the same gun. Why not some hammer-fired designs, rifles, shotguns, revolvers? Ruger and Smith & Wesson seem to have no problem with full product lines, why not Glock?
When the police department finally decided to allow semi automatics in the early 80’s, I bought a Glock model 22. The gun has performed flawlessly ever since and obviously I still have it. I take it as a back up weapon when I go hog hunting and have every confidence it its performance and dependability. Great weapon.
Any glock is a great glock! I traded my glock 23 for a keltec sub2k and almost cried that night, even though the sub2k is super fun…i’d never rely on it like a glock. My favorite is gen3 with the orange peel finish or whatever people call it.
As a 10 year Special Forces and Spec Ops guy as well as former LAPD, etc., where tactical weapons instruction was either a collateral or primary duty for much of the past fifty years, I have been privileged to trIn with and use a significant number of weapons, foreign and domestic. I have my favorites for aesthetics and preference but I have learned to make tactical changes to accommodate new weaponry that better reflects the current probabilities of engagement in a new type of battle space here in this once great Republic.
The Editor presented an advisory to readers to keep it civil. A reflection of the change in our culture on a par with the change in our weaponry. It is a sad commentary on the “gun crowd” that such an advisory was necessary and an even worse result in the failure of many participants to abide by it. I do not read these forums because, like the Internet, one must wade through the trash to get to intelligent and worthy comment even if one disagrees with it.
After reading the posts to this thread, it is small wonder the emasculated liberal males and the zealous, hairy legged female Progressives think gun folks are children and, worse yet, dangerous children. What the hell is the matter with some of you? If you are as reckless with your weaponry as you are with the vulgarity and coarseness of both your language and your thought processes, you are among the anti-gun communities greatest resources.
Exactly, I could not agree more you Storm. The frivolous infighting amongst ourselves allows misconceptions amoung those lacking adequate or proper knowledge or information, on a variety of proper firearm uses as well as the real satistics showing lower violent crime offenses in legal owned firearm areas of the US.. This imagined misconception of a disrespectful and irresponsible firearm owner sparked by trash talking fear mongers gives anti-gun individuals traction with other skittish logic deficient liberals on the fence concerning gun control, adding to the stereotype of a gun toting owner with a little respect for law.
I feel that this is often the reason there is very little reasonable intelligent conversation about the necessity of firearm ownership , the Second Amendment and the security it adds to us as Free Democratic Country. IMHO
Let’s talk about stereotypes shall we. I’m a liberal. Very liberal in fact. You have no problems grouping us together while decrying being grouped with the immature element of your own political spectrum view.
Well as I said I am liberal. I also have a conceal carry permit and own 2 “assault rifles” amongst my many guns. I support a persons right to bear arms and defend their homes, property, family and lives. So think about that the next time you complain about being grouped in with a stereotype while deriding the other side with equally ignorant stereotypes.
I judge every person as an individual. Try it sometime.
BTW my carry gun is a Glock 22. Reliable. Accurate. Easily maintainable and excellent stopping power.
Hey storm. What do you hope to achieve by cutting down people
It’s clear from all the comments that Glock has indeed made a firearm to suit everybody’s need! I’ll personally keep my G21 and it’s extended 30 round 45acp magazines, never hiccuped yet after many years of service! Happy New Year everyone!
Let’s see. Short or long barrel and what caliber. They are all shaped the same and have different barrel lengths and caliber. That’s the only difference. More for the shooter than the gun itself.
I own one Glock, a G22. Thanks to my 9/.40 conversion barrel I also own a 9mm. I’ve got 1500-2000 rounds of 9mm thru it without problems.
The 1911 is what you show your friends but the Glock 30 is your EDC.
H&K VP 70 do yo homework.
Never own a Glock in my life , but I shot one for the first time at a range . I purchased my first Glock 19 ,I am sure more will follow .
I did ok this Christmas , I got a Glock 19 for Christmas . Every time Obama calls for gun control , I purchase another gun and ammo . Obama is the world greatest gun salesman .
GLOCK is damn near the BEST, so all you queers step off and get with the program girls….
Glock 43 deep carry
Glock 26 nice balance
Glock 17 when you need the max in firepower.
Another vote for the 34
I have many Glocks. I chose to go all 9mm for carry and home. (Had a 27 for a bit but sold it.) Recently added a 20S for backpacking and hunting.
A friend, against my advise, recently picked up an M&P shield, his first gun, so we took it out. The trigger on that thing is total garbage. We both hated the grip and the low capacity of the mags.
He will be replacing it with a G19 soon. With modern defensive loads I believe it’s the perfect home defense/carry gun.
M&P’s, and especially shields are pure garbage. I love GLOCKs and have so for many years now. However, now that I’ve got a bit of experience under my belt, I actually prefer 1911s now. But that is more than likely because I started out shooting a 1911 .45ACP when I was a teenager. I think of GLOCKs as beginner up to intermediate pistols now. When you really think about it, if you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all. After so many years of carrying GLOCKs every day on and off duty, I still love them, but not nearly as much as America’s original, the 1911.
Glocks are reliable and available in all kinds of configurations. I choose not to own one because I do not like my “service” weapons to require fine motor skills for disassembly. Try to take one apart if your hands are frozen or injured.
What a goofy reason for not owning a gun. You should focus on aspects that actually matter. Reliability, capacity etc.
I do not comment often and I have heard many dumb reasons over the years, congratulations, welcome to the top 5. Look numb nuts try doing ANYTHING with injured or frozen hands. Odds are with a Glock, you will never have to disassemble it under attack.
I’m not a huge Glock fan and I don’t carry one. But, I have carried other firearms on and off duty for years (I’m now retired) With civilian (non-military and NON-SWAT types) training you are primarily concerned with clearing jams and not field stripping your firearm. The only time you MIGHT field strip a weapon you would want a squad with you who could keep the bad guys’ offensiveness minimized through suppressed fire. The chances of that scenario happening is so slim I don’t know of a law enforcement agency that practices it to any great degree.
Bottom line to me is I don’t carry a weapon with a primary consideration being on the degree of ease of field stripping. This is the first I have “heard” of anyone making it a consideration.
If it weren’t Christmas this list would be a mile long cause most everyone has a favorite .My 25th anniversary 17L is mine.
I have a couple Glocks 17, 19, 20, 21, 23, 27, 31, & 42. Looking for a Glock 29 to care that 10mm is a bad ass ammo.
It was Die Hard 2 where John McClane says “That punk pulled a Glock 7 on me. You know what that is? It’s a porcelain gun made in Germany. Doesn’t show up on your airport X-ray machines, here, and it cost more than you make in a month.”
I know because I’m watching right now.
G17 with guide rod laser and light is nightstand and shtf weapon , G27 is edc.
Boatload of mags for both.
You, pretty much, lost all credibility by not even bothering to post the right trailer for the lame quote.
Clocks were, at one time, cutting edge. Now, they are just common. The basic weapon and how it functions has not changed since the ’60’s. Just minor, meaningless changes that contribute nothing to the functioning of the weapon. Replaceable grips? Wow, now there’s a change I can get behind.
People think, “When it absolutely has to work, get Glock.” That’s BS-get Walther, Springfield Armory, S&W, etc. NO current semi-automatic, or even a semi-auto designed 104 years ago (M1911 A1) and made in the last 50 years, is unreliable. There is no advantage to Glock anymore, if there was ever.
The Walther P99 is much safer. SA/DA with a DE-COCKER, so I know the pistol is safe. I’ve read all the Glock literature, looked at the cut away, but can’t figure out why Glock’s “safe action” is considered a safety. Having the striker in a full forward, de-tensioned state is a safety. The beavertail safety on a 1911 is a safety (not to mention the actual “safety” on the 1911) “Safe action” is a safety for when you drop it butt down on a hard surface.
Glock is still in business because they build a firearm for every little niche. A 10mm concealable? Have they, actually, sold more than 1000 of these ridiculous monsters? I keep waiting for a really useful Glock-a 5.25mm derringer–but that would require innovation on Glock’s part. They just aren’t in the innovation business. However, I hear they are working on a model 19, with a pink polymer frame and a slide finished in pink with My Little Ponies engraved on it–although, I am not sure what demographic this would serve.
Why do people announce what kind of firearms they have on the Internet? Essentially, publish an invitation for thieves? Or, worse, the government? There are thousands of ways around the security at sites like these that don’t even involve directly engaging the site’s security measures. And there are thousands of people with nothing better to do than create and sell lists of the people who post about firearms to other people with nefarious intent.
Wow, either someone peed in your cornflakes this morning or I guess you must not have got what you wanted for Christmas. If you hate Glocks so much, why even bother reading a post about them? Just so you can flame them and tell people how stupid they are because they don’t agree with you?
You really need a new hobby.
+Mikial. After reading the post you were replying to, I was prepared to write pretty much the exact same reply that you did. I think someone actually did pi$$ in his cornflakes this morning.
I like to be able to draw my gun and fire. No levers, no buttons, no switches. I don’t want an SA/DA gun with a decocker. My primary safety are my gun handling skills. Finger off the trigger until my sights are on target.
BTW- Glock didn’t start designing the 17 until 1979.
@Matt
Agreed. If you don’t carry a Glock because you don’t like them, that’s just fine. If you don’t carry one because you are afraid you will have an AD, then that’s probably a good decision. Glocks require a higher level of training, practice and skill to carry safely than guns with decockers and external safeties, and every AD that I’ve ever heard of has been because of operator error.
For example, the guy who was carrying one in condition 0 in his pocket with his keys and no holster and had an AD while seated in a restaurant, the cop who jammed his back in his holster and got his jacket drawstring in the trigger guard, the guy who was using a worn out leather holster that got jammed in the trigger guard when he holstered, and the kid who had only had his CCW 3 months and was taking a selfie with his condition 0 gun, and shot himself in the femoral artery when he holstered in Appendix Carry and bled to death. All operator error. All a lack of training and awareness . . . yes, even the cop.
I own several brands of guns. Some are DA only, some have external safeties, some have decockers, some have grip safeties, and some are Glocks. I carry a Glock. I have carried one for years. I carried a G17 in Iraq under some very hot circumstances. The only time any of mine have ever gone off is when I pulled the trigger.
This guy said his p99 is da/sa he must own the only one in existence. P99 is striker fired. By the way, I owned one and it was a peice of shit. I’ll hang on to my Glocks.
Before you show off your ignorance you should get your facts straight. First generation P99s were DA/SA before they ruined the gun by putting in a striker fired action.
You would probably purchase a “My little pony” revolver or some bitch ass shit like that fruit cup, tinker girl….
My favorite Glock? I love my G21. Powerful, accurate and utterly reliable. With 13+1 it is my EDC. My wife got a G21SF with night sights for Christmas this year. Just a little bit shorter but still uses the same mags. Can’t wait to take it to the range and try it out.
G27 is my go to carry.
G30s is my absolute favorite.
I agree with you 100% on the Glock 30, carry one everyday of my life.
The Glock 19 is a great weapon but the Glock 23 is tops, IMHO. Pretty cool to have ONE gun that can shoot THREE calibers; 40SW, 9mm, and 357SIG. I bought storm lake drop in barrels in 9mm and 357sig and they function flawlessly. That 357sig is a super accurate round.
1- Glock 40- longslide 10mm (Gen 4) – The King
2- Glock 17L (gen 3) or G34 gen 4 (tie) – Queens
3- Glock 19 (gen 4) – all purpose workhorse
4- Glock 43 w/TLR-6 (so nice for a cargo pocket)
5- Glock 20/21 gen 4- own two guns in one, since they use the same frame/ejector, one frame and two slides does it all.
N
*Glock 18 doesn’t make the list because we can’t own it so it may as well be a lightsaber.
*Glock 26/27 don’t make the cut because they lack an accessory rail – stop it Glock and give us what we want without needing to buy gen 5.
Gen 4 “RTF 3” frame is the best so far for grip thag doesn’t eat clothing. Big fan.
No glock 20 and its 11 different caliber conversions?
Gen 1 g17…rules. f Gen 3&4
I have always been a revolver man. I never cared for Glocks until I started helping out in a friends gun store. I now own 3 and is all I carry. To me they are a square revolver and hold more rounds!! No safety to take off or put on. Just draw and go to work and when your done put it back!!
I have a number of Glocks , but if could have only one it would be the Glock 19
Agreed, sir.
My glock collection is as follows:
G19
G26
G34
G43
G42……
G35
And G22
Have 7.. All are great. Don’t have a .45ACP, only due to I fell in love with the XDs..
Looks like a lot of people (and cops) have drank the cool aid when it comes to Glocks.
It’s a real shame because there are so many quality guns to choose from rather than these junkers.
He’s darn right it was Die Hard II and I want to beg to differ with John McClain. A Washington D.C. airport Police Captain in 1990 made far more than the MSRP on a Glock. I bought my first one in 1991 for $399, $418 with tax.
It’s Kool-Aid genius and what do you carry Snob? A Sig? A Kimber? Both rusty boat anchors in my opinion. I’ve carried one for close to 30 years, never had a problem except when shooting some goober’s Uncle Jimbos reloads he did in his garage. I love you Glock haters that like to talk crap about the AK-47 of handguns. STFU and go away.
Actually,,, I own and carry a 2″ S&W 29. little boy.
But,,,, I also have several Sigs, a Kimber, as well as several Colts, Rugers, and several other Smiths.
Tell me little boy,,,,Does your mommy let you have any bullets for you plastic toy Glock?
PS: I have a AK
Another ignorant statement. They are the single most used handgun in the world because they are junk?! Moron.
Matt, if you don’t like them, why are you here Troll? Why are they junk? I’ve been shooting them for 30 years and as long as you keep them stock, there are no problems. It’s when people put on aftermarket crap that they turn into junk. You’re the ignorant one. I love you pussies who call them junk but then fail to tell us what you carry like Trainman. Why don’t you grow a set and put up or shut up. Douchebag Troll.
Matt, I apologize, I thought you were talking to me, not the real Troll.
I totally agree, just bought my first glock and went to glock store to trick it out and gunsmith that I bought it from told me, don’t put after market crap on it! It will lose its reliability.
In the early days of computing the saying used to be, “Nobody ever got fired for specifying IBM.”
In the current days of service carry, nobody gets fired for specifying Glock.
IBM has never made the best computing equipment, they sold their junk on the basis of FEAR–specifying anything else would get you fired.
Glock has never made the best pistols, they are sold on the basis of FEAR–if you specify some other brand and something even minuscule happens, the person who DIDN’T specify Glock is going to get crucified.
In fact, most computers made by parties other than IBM were the most innovative and better than IBM. Which is why IBM is no longer in the personal computing market.
In fact, there is no other polymer framed, striker fired handgun that isn’t as good a quality and as reliable as Glock. People specify Glock, because they realize they are going to become the sacrificial goat, if they specify something besides Glock and something happens.
That, and I’d bet, 90% of all Glocks sold as service weapons are sold because the people making the recommendation haven’t ever looked at anything besides Glocks. This means Glocks sells into the service pistol market because of marketing and the laziness of the people recommending them, not because they are some uber pistol.
Clocks is nearly 40 old technology. It hasn’t been cutting edge for 20 years.
haha jerkoff….go and get you a taurus
I have a Taurus 809, like it just fine.
Didn’t like Glocks until I owned one. I now have 4. A G21 for duty, a G30 and G36 for concealed carry and a G43 for when all else fails. I now love them.
I totally agree with you Bill. I have two 21s. 1994, 2007 and a G36 for concealed carry. What more does one need?
It was Die Hard 2 where the GLOCK 7 entered American pop culture, not Die Hard.
It was actually “Die Hard 2” that the seen is from.
“seen??”. try SCENE
My twin Glocks are the perfect for carry and home defense!
Glock 30, .45 has been my choice for 30 years.
Glock 29 10mm I don’t even have to get out of bed to shoot bad guys,
10mm makes walls invisible!
P.S. It,s Christmas, My Glock 29 now became a .40 and .357 sig! along with the usual 10mm!
Thanks to my wife and lone wolf!
Lone Wolf huh? Every student that has come through my class in the last 6 months with a Lone Wolf conversion, has ‘had hiccups to straight up catastrophic failures. Maybe it’s operator error, maybe it’s the Wolf, but like Gaston Glock once told my Senior Rangemaster… “If I vanted it on there, I vould have put it on there.”
I didn’t see the G34 on the list, therefore it is incomplete at best.
My top 3 Blocks ( which I own & use):
#1: Glock 17
Just A Great High Capacity 9mm to have around.
#2: Glock 27
Perfect Conceal Carry .40
#3: Glock 30
Super for Bedside Table with 9+1rds of .45acp

Nuf Said!
Um I for real own o G30 and G30S and they both are 10+1 sorry
#3 I’d make that a TLR-4G (for bedside, groggy eyes could use a little laser help)
