Why should I buy a Glock instead of a HK/Sig/1911/Beretta?
This is a question I get asked a lot. The truth is, I can’t tell you what gun you should buy because I don’t know what your requirements are. Glocks are not the best gun for every purpose. I can, however, tell you why I chose a Glock: reliability, durability, simplicity, trigger action, no manual safety, availability of parts & accessories and the GSSF. dot Reliability – A well cared-for Glock is absolutely 100% reliable and I am comfortable trusting my life to one. dot Durability – Glocks will go on and on and on and on. There’s no way I could wear one out in my lifetime. dot Simplicity – It’s the only semi-automatic handgun that is simple enough for me to work on. I have no gunsmithing training but I can completely take apart my Glock and replace any part in it. Try that with a HK or 1911. dot Trigger action – Glock has the same trigger pull every time, all the time. No switching from double action to single action, no de-cocking. dot No manual safety – This means less complication w
