Amen, S-dog !!Well, here we go again. Glock keeps claiming āPerfectionā and yet keeps Maine changesā¦.. I mean . If theyāre āperfectāā¦ā¦. Hard pass for me, they all feel like a durn brick in my paws. I do know they flat out work (and a lot of poor misguided souls love āem) but they donāt do it for me. If John Browning had wanted us to have plastic guns, heād have invented plastic and made one

They catch it if they do or if they donāt.
Iāll believe what I read on the internet when I see it in hand.

Agreed on the "Seeing it my hand" part. That's why I was very careful with my wording!

I'm not sure what year it was buy I bought a Glock 19 about 2 months after I bought it the slide came off the back, called them and they said they would replace it after they checked it out. So almost a month a new one came and I took it to the range and 10 rounds later the trigger locked up. I had the range officer take a look and told me that mine was the second one he had seen do that. When called ask for money back they said they would give me store credit and I said good by and went. To the local foundry and had it melted down to a blob.

I get your frustration, but.. I mean.. you could've just sold it to your LGS and made a couple hundred
But I appreciate your integrity in not wanting to pass your problem on to someone else. But to be fair, a large broker like guns.com would still give you some money for it and they'd repair it or part it out.

I guess Glock has to do something to remain relevant.
I bought my first Glock about 1985-87. A 17. Even then, my thought was ok, this is a paradigm shift in design. And I was a High Power user and (still) a 1911 junkie. Today, however, weāve seemed to have evolved the āplatformā to its pinnacle.
Way to many other competitors now.
And to be transparent I own a 19, 22, 26 and 30, all generation 3.
Iām happy there, and not looking to cry over them discontinuing models.
Honestly, if I were starting out, Iād opt for Walther, S&W or HK - and not necessarily in that order. A Glock would be farther down my list. YMMV.

When I first fell in love with firearms, at around the age of 9 or so, I got a vintage M&P revolver cutaway poster from a friend of the family. THIS poster, in fact (I need to buy one now). S&W was my first love.
Over the intervening years, I've found new favorite and what not, but I always come back to Smith. Until the 90's when they sold their soul to Massachusetts and the Clinton admin, then I swore not to buy another smith again out of principle until the company changed hands.
Lo and behold, the company did change hands and they moved out of Mass and they got back in my good books politically. And I'm glad they did because the whole M&P line is just phenomenal.
40+ years of this, and I keep coming back to S&W as my #1 choice. They're tough to beat.
HK and Walther (who was briefly married to S&W) are basically the German equivalents of Smith. Then there's Springfield, another American staple that has never failed.
Those are my top 3 brands in order. Smith, Springer, and H&K. I've finally learned to stop looking for new ones. There will never be anyone that tops those 3.
