The 'AK-47' of handguns

I passed up lots of Tokarevs 'cause I didn't like the unique caliber. A proper zombie armory demands ammo compatability. Then I saw the 9mm and snaged it up. Then I started looking at the 7.62x25, 85gn slug at over 1600 fps! Talk about flat shooting pistols, those things must have a trajectory like a laser beam. I may buy a normal one. Now I just hate 9x18mm, sorry Makorov fans, but I'd buy one if I was poor. :)
 
And by the way Mr 'Wood, I've seem several examples of limp wrist syndrome and it's very real. In the old days before Glocks it was P38s, people at the range would cry to me that thier gun was jamming and ask me to try it. I'd grab it with the kungfoo grip and empty the clip. The usual root cause was that they owned a Colt or Smith revolver with a 2-3lb single action trigger and thay were used to holding a gun like they were holding a puppy.
 
Yes, there certainly is.

Sure it's true. Limpwrist = Failures on any gun. What about when you don't limpwrist and the gun still jams, and it's a Glock? That's where the cop-out comes into play. My Gen 3 G20 was a total lemon that was sent and returned to Glock 3 times and shot by me, the rangemaster, and about 6 other friends. It never did work. "Limpwristing'' was to blame because Glocks ''just work''.

I'm not a hater either. I own/owned the G19/G20/G22/G34 and have never had one single malfunction in thousands of rounds besides the G20. That's just how it is. Lemons happen and the limpwristing excuse always prevails first when a Glock goes south.
 
Nice thing about Glocks

I ain't the exactly sharpest knife in the drawer but when I bought my first Glock I invested in a Glock armorer's course and watched and learned...

I work on my own Glocks...I don't like working on one for someone else because I don't want the liability...and I have 2 .357s ,(a G32 and a reworked G-27), right now that I would put up against anyone, anything, anywhere as far as action, trigger and reliability.

I was/am amazed at how easy it is to get a great trigger job on a Glock. I have spare parts stored and I have no doubt in my ability to keep a Glock running right for as long as I need to.

Having spouted all that I'm like Holdin; I like big ol' metal guns the best.
