I've owned 4 Glocks. 3 G17s from (gen 1, 2, 5) and a g19 gen 4. Of those, every single one was extremely prone to limp wristing. I swapped out 2 triggers and like 7 mag springs. The reason I carried a full size pistol was because I was at the time worried about shootouts, and didn't like the idea of not having the best option available to me.
But look at how real shoot outs happen though. Stress and speed are key factors. Adrenaline pumping, Tyrone 12 feet away with a knife/gun, panic, fear, whatever. Do you think you're not going to limp wrist that gun? Do you think you'll never have to fire with one hand while wounded? What if you're out eating burgers with your family and your hands are covered in bacon grease and you have to shoot with one hand while pulling your child out of harm's way? It's been decades of glock malfunctions, hundreds of videos. Really, a gun should ideally function regardless of user error. User error shouldn't be a thing. You should be able to pull the trigger and expect the gun to cycle regardless of conditions, regardless of grip, regardless of jerking or flinching or shaking.
Reminder to all you idiots keep shitting on Glock:
If your shooting a Glock with the factory barrel, factory, trigger, factors sights, factory mag, factory slide , factory guiderod, factory magwell, or factory trigger guard you wouldn't understand how good a Glock can be.
Ironically, I want a glock so I can do something similar to your picture. I understand glocks are pretty awful, but they're very customizable and it'd be fun to rice up a gun like that for range toy use. I'd never make it my daily carry but damn does that look fun to shoot.
trigger is not that bad, grip texture is much worse
kinda true, but then again, if i need to replace the sights and do the stippling to make glock good, is it worth even trying lol?

I like factory glocks, minus their sights.
But your logic is so fricking gay if you think it's in any way justifiable to spend the cost of another gun to trick out a factory glock.
I've honestly never had an issue with my Glock, all factory. I'm not a fricking manlet and know how to shoot a fricking handgun. Most people's malfunctions with their handguns are from their inability to understand that they require your hand to stay the frick steady while it cycles. (I also clean all of my guns, so jams are fricking rare.)
>they require your hand to stay the frick steady while it cycles
That's funny, none of my non-Glock guns have that flaw
Glocks are less reliable than my fricking Frommer Stop
I don't believe you one bit. Anyone I see jamming a Glock is just limp-wristing it. There's a reason Black folk die with a fricking stove pipe and cops drop them.

Great, you got a good one. My brother didn't, his is fricked no matter who shoots it.

A big part of that is purely due to the fact that most police departments use Glocks, so it's not that surprising that most jamming vids from LEO are with Glocks.
Overall I agree with what you say though, the only handgun I have that regularly has given me trouble is my G48. I refuse to carry it anymore after having it jam up multiple times in a short period while every single one of my other autoloaders has never once given me any issues. Even my SA XD-m compact, a gun which someone on this board claims will jam and/or blow up on me, has had well over 10k rounds through it and it still functions perfectly.
There is absolutely no reason to bother with Glocks in currentYear, especially when just about every other plasticshit pistol on the market is better in all ways, and often times a bit cheaper.
I can genuinely say getting used the the zit popping trigger made my trigger control across all of my guns better. As long as it's consistent it's good.

I remember when this was the cope excuse to shit on XDs. And you gays are wrong on both counts.
Glocks are the only good handguns on earth. The reason NATO deathsquads use Glocks and nothing else is performance, not budget. Only seethers and copers will reply.
I just don't like them. Is that allowed? Don't like em. Don't like the grip, don't like the trigger, don't like the sights, don't like the price. That doesn't make them bad, it means for me that makes it a bad buy over almost any other mainstream striker.
No I'm just insulting you.
Twitterpost elsewhere, there's no point in coming here to do it. People who self-identify as Chads are almost always incels.
I have literally never experienced a limp wrist induced malfunction in all of my glock shooting. Nor have I seen it with my own eyes with someone else. I am not good at shooting but I have alot of rounds through various glocks. How is it that everyone else here has. I call bullshit
Glock has the quality control of Taurus. Every once in a while, you get a totally fricked gun, and "muh limpwristing" is just cope.
I've intentionally tried to limp wrist my Gen 3 G19 and haven't been able to make it malfunction. Mine is an actual Austrian-made gun and I wonder if the US production ones have more of a problem.
>50ft
I was going to doubt you, then I realized you used feet and not yards/meters.
But yeah when I used to train a lot more and handload, I could stay inside the 9 at 25 meters (so roughly 75 feet?)

Funnily enough my favorite pistol is a P49 and I shoot it better, but as long as you're in practice, Glocks can be very reasonable.

I have a G34, which came with a factory (-) connector spring. Additionally I got a different shape, coated firing pin plunger with a lighter spring. I did the same with my AR-15 where I kept the milspec trigger but got the JP spring kit and polished the contact surfaces lightly. But I also only use my guns for competition. Even though, I never had any failures.
>I have a G34, which came with a factory (-) connector spring. Additionally I got a different shape, coated firing pin plunger with a lighter spring.
is the minus connector really that much better compared to stock?
I wouldn't know since as I said, the g34 doesn't come with the normal strenght one.
But after trying the g17 of a friend I'd say yes.
One pound less trigger weight is nice to have and adds up with other things.
>Well yeah. Every single one of them had to be able to hit a cigarette box at 50m or it would be rejected.
They're weird because they're not the nicest thing necessarily, they don't necessarily just drop into your hands and fit like a glove like my P226 does, but once you shoot one a bit, there's something that just makes you want to pick it up instead of anything else.
>siggers upset that it literally takes a $120 trigger job to keep a Gen 3-5 glock relevant and a pleasure to operate for years while they wait on their iGun cloud to download the next version of their shit pot metal pistol
i like my vp9 but i got it for well below msrp. mags are spensey, optics cut spensey, mag release is cool but makes you break your grip. wish there was an aftermarket backstrap with less of an angled hump. shoot glocks better unfortunately. ive really warmed up to it, but if i was buying again and there wasnt a deal on the vp9, id prolly get a glock or m&p.
The ONLY pistol I have ever owned that is still 100% without issue thousands of shit steel rounds later is my g19 gen 5.
every single major brand I have had at least a small problem.
Yes the trigger is mushy and breaks horribly, if you got the "basket" style stock sights im not a fan (mine came new in the box with three dot night sights), but its not a competition gun, if anything I would ADD ten pounds to the trigger pull to make it more child/ crackhead safe. I dont live in a fantasy world where I need to shoot 10 men in the eye from 100yd with my carry pistol.
I have spent at least 50 grand trying to convince myself I don't like the AR/Glock combo but that is still by go to guns.
Glocks are meta. They have a few cons but are overall still the best on the market. >prone to limp wrist malfunctions.

I’ve got a G43 (purchased before the P365 came along), a Shield Plus (to check the double stack micro 9 box), but my G19 is carried most often because it doesn’t conceal much worse provided you aren’t fat, and it’s easier to shoot fast and accurate than smaller guns. Those things are more important to me than compactness.
That’s really it for downsides. Pistols besides Glocks either have more or far more important downsides.
So the only downsides are they're ugly, uncomfortable, not fun to shoot, and prone to malfunction? >You can have other guns with SOVL. This is a tool
To use for what? You just said I have to train extensively with it just so it doesn't jam and kill me in a self defense situation, and it's not that great as a target pistol. Why not get an actually good gun that I like shooting?
>You just said I have to train extensively with it just so it doesn't jam and kill me
No I didn’t. I’ve had a handful of malfunctions that I think were limpwrist-induced in 10k plus rounds fired. These were when my technique wasn’t sound, and even then it malfunctioned maybe 1-5% of the time. I brought up that this minuscule chance of malfunctioning is one of its few downsides, and training is important. I’d take this risk over another manufacturer’s higher likelihood of parts breaking or inferior track record any day.
Yesterday, a gun counter worker was telling me and my friend why Glocks suck and he said the take down mechanism for it is dangerous because one of his friends knew a cop who nd and killed himself because he didn’t clear it
Reminder to all you idiots keep shitting on Glock:
If your shooting a Glock with the factory barrel, factory, trigger, factors sights, factory mag, factory slide , factory guiderod, factory magwell, or factory trigger guard you wouldn't understand how good a Glock can be.
to include "factory optic mount" since apparently that doesn't even work LMAO
It needs to be on the pasta for every modern gun too then. No factory 'optic mount' is good. They're made as a one size fits all with different mounting plates, and that will always be mediocre at best. No matter the gun, it's always 100x better to get it custom milled for the optic you're gonna put on it.

I have a Springfield Hellcat which is a micro pistol that should in theory be under greater stress to keep an optic zeroed than a full size gun. 3000 rounds through it using a ~30 dollar CHPWS mounting plate and my 507k has not lost zero. Haven't touched it since the original zero. Sounds like this is a glock specific problem? Either way it's going on the pasta, thanks!

I own Glonks because of how much it triggers people like you
>Dont fall for the MOS meme. Buy a non-MOS and get the slide milled
Isn't that the only option for a 26?
I wonder why there isn't a MOS 26 when there is an MOS 43x since they are roughly the same size (slide not frame).
Limp wrist failure doesn't actually exist. The gun is just jamming because it's got bad QC and an inherently flawed design. If you have a Glock that jams, it will jam no matter how you hold it. "Muh limp wrist" is just cope.
The only jams I get on my 19X are self-induced to practice clearing them. Clean your fricking guns and actually learn to shoot them and you won't have issues. This applies to budget guns as well, stop blaming your shitty abilities on the hardware.
The gen 3 glock was the comfiest gun I've ever held in my life. I rented a stock one with some friends a few years ago and I swear to God the finger grooves, the slide stop, and the mag release where custom made to fit my hands. I ended up with a pig 320 legion with the sig family & frens discount for $487 instead but I've already put in for overtime the next two weeks to feel those finger grooves again. I pray to god you can hold just one gun that felt as good as that one did to me. Idc if its a glock or a hipoint. Gun nirvana,
I like the gen 3 triggers. The gen 5 triggers make me feel my finger sliding off to the side, which is the biggest complaint with my 19X.
I own three glocks btw and I'm a glocksucker.
Hmmm... you'd think a 26 MOS would sell better than a 43x MOS since you could add optics and then stick a g19 mag (with x-grip), basically making it a superior 43x that doesn't require aftermarket magazines
Pistol is fine, just clean behind the fricking extractor. Put countless rounds through mine for work and no issues one or two handed, or shooting from other than ideal positions.
STOP HOLDING IT LIKE A WET TISSUE
yeah
I've owned 4 Glocks. 3 G17s from (gen 1, 2, 5) and a g19 gen 4. Of those, every single one was extremely prone to limp wristing. I swapped out 2 triggers and like 7 mag springs. The reason I carried a full size pistol was because I was at the time worried about shootouts, and didn't like the idea of not having the best option available to me.
But look at how real shoot outs happen though. Stress and speed are key factors. Adrenaline pumping, Tyrone 12 feet away with a knife/gun, panic, fear, whatever. Do you think you're not going to limp wrist that gun? Do you think you'll never have to fire with one hand while wounded? What if you're out eating burgers with your family and your hands are covered in bacon grease and you have to shoot with one hand while pulling your child out of harm's way? It's been decades of glock malfunctions, hundreds of videos. Really, a gun should ideally function regardless of user error. User error shouldn't be a thing. You should be able to pull the trigger and expect the gun to cycle regardless of conditions, regardless of grip, regardless of jerking or flinching or shaking.

To use for what? You just said I have to train extensively with it just so it doesn't jam and kill me in a self defense situation, and it's not that great as a target pistol. Why not get an actually good gun that I like shooting?
>You just said I have to train extensively with it just so it doesn't jam and kill me
No I didn’t. I’ve had a handful of malfunctions that I think were limpwrist-induced in 10k plus rounds fired. These were when my technique wasn’t sound, and even then it malfunctioned maybe 1-5% of the time. I brought up that this minuscule chance of malfunctioning is one of its few downsides, and training is important. I’d take this risk over another manufacturer’s higher likelihood of parts breaking or inferior track record any day.
>another manufacturer’s higher likelihood of parts breaking or inferior track record
Glock is mediocre at best
>laughs in hk
Hell, laughs in Canik
Everyone's doing striker fired pistols better than Glock these days
>they have a few cons
>proceeds to write an entire novel on why Glocks are shit
so why is their trigger so mushy
I like Glock triggers. They feel like AK triggers to me
imagine being filtered by the 1911 safety
I'm more filtered by the 1911's tendency to misfeed and by its shitty 19th century takedown process
glock would be perfect if there's a manual safety lever. how do you carry loaded without it?

nice bait
>Mmmmmm poopoo yummy I love the taste
>I am better than you for enjoying eating poopoo
Yesterday, a gun counter worker was telling me and my friend why Glocks suck and he said the take down mechanism for it is dangerous because one of his friends knew a cop who nd and killed himself because he didn’t clear it
I am now a fan of Glocks.
Yeah
>tranime
45 mos or 34 mos? Both aiwb and owb
17
Only if my lgs gets a 17 mos
Dont fall for the MOS meme. Buy a non-MOS and get the slide milled
Thanks anon I'll update this pasta
to include "factory optic mount" since apparently that doesn't even work LMAO
It needs to be on the pasta for every modern gun too then. No factory 'optic mount' is good. They're made as a one size fits all with different mounting plates, and that will always be mediocre at best. No matter the gun, it's always 100x better to get it custom milled for the optic you're gonna put on it.
I have a Springfield Hellcat which is a micro pistol that should in theory be under greater stress to keep an optic zeroed than a full size gun. 3000 rounds through it using a ~30 dollar CHPWS mounting plate and my 507k has not lost zero. Haven't touched it since the original zero. Sounds like this is a glock specific problem? Either way it's going on the pasta, thanks!
>Springfield
oh good, we can ignore you
>your micro pistol is more reliable than a full sized glock
>I will just conveniently ignore this because that makes me really mad!
Top kek glawk owner!
No, I'll conveniently ignore you because you're a dumb Black person
>mad glock incel resorts to racism which his chosen corporate product underperforms against a corporate product he disproves of
Is this how glawckbrain works? LOL
it's not racism if you're an actual Black person
>you're a Black person if you point out how inferior my chosen corporate product that I've attached my identity to is!
You can do better than this anon.
I own Glonks because of how much it triggers people like you
>Dont fall for the MOS meme. Buy a non-MOS and get the slide milled
Isn't that the only option for a 26?
I wonder why there isn't a MOS 26 when there is an MOS 43x since they are roughly the same size (slide not frame).
Glonk is fookin weird m88. I'd only ever (and have only) bought their more flagship patents.
Who do people pretend triggers don't matter. It's the easiest way to buy better groups.
Because then you have to admit that the brand you shill for might have a flaw.
imagine liking dog shit and thinking that makes you somehow superior?
If you have a limp wrist failure, you do not have a strong handshake
Limp wrist failure doesn't actually exist. The gun is just jamming because it's got bad QC and an inherently flawed design. If you have a Glock that jams, it will jam no matter how you hold it. "Muh limp wrist" is just cope.
>NOOO!! ITS TOTALLY THE GUN!! NOT ME!!
just rebuild the whole gun into one that's actually good lmao
Totally stock SD piece. Utilitarian. Over 1000 rounds both 357 and 40. Two hand, one hand, straight arm, bent arm. No failures whatsoever.
The only jams I get on my 19X are self-induced to practice clearing them. Clean your fricking guns and actually learn to shoot them and you won't have issues. This applies to budget guns as well, stop blaming your shitty abilities on the hardware.
Wonder if .357 and .40 having a bit more ass than 9mm reduces limp wristing?
The gen 3 glock was the comfiest gun I've ever held in my life. I rented a stock one with some friends a few years ago and I swear to God the finger grooves, the slide stop, and the mag release where custom made to fit my hands. I ended up with a pig 320 legion with the sig family & frens discount for $487 instead but I've already put in for overtime the next two weeks to feel those finger grooves again. I pray to god you can hold just one gun that felt as good as that one did to me. Idc if its a glock or a hipoint. Gun nirvana,
I just like having a gun with a safety
I like the gen 3 triggers. The gen 5 triggers make me feel my finger sliding off to the side, which is the biggest complaint with my 19X.
I own three glocks btw and I'm a glocksucker.

>Imagine being filtered by the

Hmmm... you'd think a 26 MOS would sell better than a 43x MOS since you could add optics and then stick a g19 mag (with x-grip), basically making it a superior 43x that doesn't require aftermarket magazines
unironically prefer the double action beretta 92fs trigger to any glock trigger
>mfw Berettas are the coolest handgun ever, but I can't even hold one without it triggering my PTSD
>that dude was 19
Jesus.Christ
Glocktards are the gun version of Marvel fanboys
Imagine accepting a garbage trigger on a brand new gun.
Imagine not being good enough of a shooter to realize it isn’t that bad
Imagine being a delusional poorgay and settling for mediocre garbage
Pistol is fine, just clean behind the fricking extractor. Put countless rounds through mine for work and no issues one or two handed, or shooting from other than ideal positions.
STOP HOLDING IT LIKE A WET TISSUE
