I am aware that Glock pistols have a tremendous following and have been a great success in the marketplace. I don't own one and haven't even fired one, but I keep on reading about them and looking at them.
I have considered various models in 9 MM and 45 ACP. The G21 appeals to me a bit, but I am put off by having to pay $75-100 for used pre-ban mags which don't have a very good rep for reliability to start with. The G30 just doesn't feel comfortable in my hand. The G36 has a slightly narrower grip but cuts you down to a 6 round mag. The G26 allows only two fingers on its very short grip.
At a gun shop yesterday I pulled the trigger on a Glock for the first time. This trigger was totally different from that on any other auto I have ever fired. Very short and very light. I can understand why these triggers allow great accuracy, but I just wouldn't feel safe carrying one of these around with me with a round in the chamber. The combination of fat grips, expensive pre-ban mags, hair triggers, and no manual safety continue to hold me back from buying a Glock. Am I the only one who feels this way?
