Haven't been here on the TFL in a while. Been hanging around Glock Talk alot, lately. I say that so you know where this is going. :) I happen to find my Glocks very pretty. Of course, this is because I am of the form over function persuasion most of the time. When I had my last class, there were 5 1911's. Only 2 of which were 100% reliable. While the others were getting extra practice on malfunction drills, my G21 hummed right along, just getting prettier and prettier. :D

"Pretty is as pretty does" in the words of Forrest Gump! Glocks aren't glamorous but they work all the time. The Glock 30 gets my vote but I think the Walther P99 is uglier yet! Regards, Richard
 
While I'm one of the least likely candidates to defend Glock asthetics, I will say this. Form follows function.

I asked my gf if I should get a glock. Her comment was "Damn those things are ugly." Not an uncommon thing to hear about a Glock, but her second comment was "I think you should get a Glock, it's so ugly; that means they must be highly functional because they obviously didn't try to compensate functionality for looks. So get the ugliest gun you can, chances are they are the most functional" Words of wisdom? Maybe. Will my attacker who's dead on the floor because I emptied a magazine into him think my gun is ugly? Maybe, but you talk about an opinion that matters the least in life, that would be the opinion of my dead attacker..

There are two types of guns in life, that's it. Ones that go bang when you pull that trigger, and ones that don't. The former one is always prettier than the latter... Utilitarianism always beats asthetics.

I think I have discovered the reason people rip on Glocks. "Glock Perfection". If the slogan was "Glocks, boxy but good." then most people wouldn't have a problem with it. But the word "perfection" is a bit much. Not the most ergonomically correct (Sig wins, hands down.) Not the most ambi-friendly (that magazine release will rip your left hand, HK wins that, hands down) not the most accurate (I think Sig wins that as well, with HK a close second) and not the most fully supported chamber, not the smoothest trigger, none of those, so to use the word "perfection" is a really long stretch from the truth. Are they good guns? You bet! Utilitarian? 110%. Perfection? No.

I own two Glocks and two 1911's and one Beretta. I own a Glock 30, and I will admit that it is ugly. BUT I WILL AND DO BET MY LIFE ON IT! ;) My other handguns are very beautiful and cool looking, but I carry the 30.
Don't you guys remeber the song "If you want to be happy for the rest of your life get an ugly woman to be your wife"! How true. (My wife is not ugly by the way, Sorry sweetie!)

Tom B,

If I were you I'd be ashamed to admit I sold a accurate 100% reliable pistol for _any_ reason; let alone one as trivial as "looks". That glock will look like a gold plated super model the day you need it to protect your family.

Get it into your heads gentelmen. NEVER SELL A GOOD GUN. Sell your TV, or your car, or your blood, or your sperm if you need the money. Hell you can even sell a Smith if its really getting desperate. Dont sell a good gun.
