Glocks are great...pretty much the Smittybilt of the gun world: inexpensive and easy to come by...just don’t rely on them to save your life. [emoji23]
Glocks are easy shooting guns, too easy. We don’t live in Somalia. I can shoot a Glock like no ones business, fast, accurate, but not because they’re of great quality, it’s because their mechanics make way for the least resistance in order to pull the trigger. My philosophy is to make damn sure not to kill anything I don’t intend to kill, it should be your philosophy too, and if so, Glocks are not the answer ever.
I have two pistols, a Sig 229, and a SA XD-E. Both DA/SA hammer fired guns. Both allowing me the extra split second to consider my actions and extra resistance, especially on the first pull, to keep me from accidental discharge. I can consistently shoot 2-3” groups at 30ft with my Sig, a very nice weapon but not concealable in the everyday sense. My XD-E is a great single stack, extremely concealable, DA/SA pistol. I’m not nearly as accurate with it as I am with my Sig but it is a very reliable gun. The only time I had a FtF was my fault and it was easily cleared and recovered from.

Pretty sure I am dumber after reading that.
Glocks have an advertised trigger pull of 5.5 lbs, but it’s often much higher. If you are accidentally discharging a handgun, that means your finger was on the trigger, when it should not have been. Saying a 5.5 lb trigger is a, “light,” trigger is stupid.
Now go ahead and say whatever you want. This is a Jeep forum, and I’m not going to argue about gun brands.

Pretty sure it was after you typed this but whatever. Most, if not all accidental discharges I’ve seen at the range are from Glocks. One might say it’s always the operators fault and I agree, the operator always picks the gun. Glocks are fun range guns but never the best home defense or everyday carry gun.

The only accidental discharge was your father into your mother. I don’t tend to play into this type of drama fest on here, but...
it’s not the gun, ever. I don’t thing I’ve ever heard of a gun jumping itself out of a drawer and shooting someone without ‘human’ interaction. With the latest spike in crime, I use the word human very liberally.

Lol! I’ll never understand why guys try to argue what gun is better... Glock, Sig, H&K, S&W, Springfield.... they are all more reliable and accurate than the operator... it’s all subjective to how it feels and how you train... Trying to say your gun is Better.... is stupid.
What the hell are you talking about? When did I say anything about guns jumping out of drawers? Are you a closet liberal? Talk about a triggered snowflake.
