Why do you still shoot a Glock?

Well, now I know what I'm wearing to the company Christmas party!

The snowglobe is even nicer in person

I don't own a Glock, but if I were to get rid of my other defensive pistols I think I would be very happy owning a couple of Glocks --one compact one full size.

My my motivation for doing so would be these three reasons in this order:

1-- reliability
2-- availability of accessories made to fit my exact model.

3-- local service / warranty work in Smyrna, Georgia. Close to me!

(Oh, and related to number three would be the fact that every gunsmith everywhere in any other part of the country is familiar with Glocks and how to service them.
That is definitely not true of a whole bunch of other handguns.)

That is a huge benefit. They do have a lot of support for mag and upgrade parts. I have seen some with steel ported slides that I do like but the money in those guns totally defeats the purpose. A inexpensive handgun that is hard to beat reliability wise. In that perspective they are one of the best choices for defense and that's hard to argue. I just can't get past the look. I guess upgrading one of those would be any different than a 1911 as far as money being put into the pistol after purchase. I may get into it one day you never know.

Like so! And only a couple hundred dollars. This would put some spice into the bland avenger.

Axe the RMR cut and we have a winner.

Y'all fanboys check back when those plastic fantastics have been in service for over 100 years.

Well, they only have 55 more years to make to 100 years in service.

A lot of posts refer to Glocks being so easy to repair.
Seems more cost efficient to just make them where they don't break so often.

I was thinking the fact they are so close is irrelevant to me. While I have taken a few there to get ban era mags swapped out for regular capacity or to get night sights installed, I have never needed any kind of service on any Glock I have ever owned.

Oh yes, and the design team is absolutely fantastic and so creative! LOL I can't tell one Glock from the other so I'd love to work in that department. I'd be a good reason to move back to Georgia. Ding ding ding!!! Wrong!!!

They should have said upgrade. You have to shoot many, many thousands of rounds to “break” one.
Lifetime free repairs if you take/send it to them.
