Shot my first Glock today...

[Monkeyleg]

A friend was in town along with his Glock 36, and let let me fire off a few dozen rounds. It was a nice pistol, light and as accurate as my 1911 (or, as accurate as me, to be more precise). I can see where the trigger safety would save some time in drawing and firing.

There were just two things I couldn't get used to: the trigger pull, and the mag release button. I'm used to firing revolvers in SA mode or 1911's, so the trigger seemed very heavy. Also, I've gotten used to a certain grip on my 1911, and my thumb kept hitting the mag release and dropping the magazine a bit.

Those two problems could be overcome in short order. Now I can see why so many folks like those "ceramic, x-ray-avoiding, terrorist" guns.

A glock was my first semi-auto so I learned on an awful trigger. Since then even stock ruger triggers on revolvers feel great.

I like my 36, small and light but nice big 230 grainers coming out of it.

For quick shooting, I also like the outline sights on the Glock.
Since I don't slingshot the slide when I reload, I also don't like the slide release on the Glock. No joke about that trigger either.
They always seem like servicable guns. If only they would come out with a 10 mm/.45 ACP in a Tactical/Practical frame.

I love my Glocks the trick is after you fire keep holding the trigger back then ease it forward slowly until you feel a click then fire again. here is my G17 9mm and my G26 9mm. I think the next will be the G36 .
