Except Glock snobs....


Just out of curiosity.... what exactly do you mean by that? I recently (21 Jul) purchased my first firearm and it happens to be a Glock 30SF. I am not offended and would just like to know the basis of your comment. And does that make you a snob of your own favorite model of firearm?

Thanks for any response.

Just light hearted banter as I see it. We poke each other in the eye, because it feels good when we quit and it's free with "membership."

Oh, OK, I thought maybe there was something else going on I was unaware of as I don't want to fall into that [snob]category. I am VERY new to firearms and am eager to learn the do's and don'ts as well as etiquette. Definitely don't want step on toes. Chose my Glock after researching and 'trying on' several makes and models. I am partial to .45 cal so next purchase will be a classic 1911!

GREAT SITE BTW..so much info. Thanks!

There are no secret handshakes or anything. Heck, you don't even need to have a firearm. Just show up and you will be warmly greeted, I promise.

You and I both know there's a secret handshake. Fortunately it usually involves the grip of a firearm!

Me (1911) I need a lighter CC fire arm, Not a jerk ...just a ***** ...lol:cool: Not a fan of Glocks my self ... I am thinking on a LC-9 for every day CC..any thoughts and nice to meet you all.

I found that the LC9 wanted to turn in my hand. That was easily resolved with a Hogue wrap-around grip. As long as you are aware of the long trigger and train on that the the pistol does exactly what it's designed to do. I had no issues with mine, I just parted with it because I had picked it up on a trade.

You might also explore the Kahr Arms line, the new XDS, the Kimber Solo (if you can find one around 600), and a couple of others in the single-stack genre. If the Glock doesn't work for you it could be the grip angle. I've found that someone who shoots a 1911 avidly will be drawn to the XD or the M&P over the Glock simply due to the grip angle impacting how it feels in the hand. My thing is that the pistol always has to come "center" for me when I extend it outward.

Not everyone likes them and they certainly don't like everyone.
