I love the fact that they have much more aftermarket support or upgradeable parts than most (production) handguns on the market.

those parts are readily available,

accessories are readily available,

I can strip it COMPLETELY bare in less than a minute,

less "working" parts than most handguns,

they are virtually indestructible,

they don't "rust" from CC,

they are EXTREMELY low maintenance,

you can get factory hi-cap (G18) mags for the 9mm and G21 mags for the G30,

they are accurate,

lack of "traditional" safety to fumble with in a hairy situation,

all my friends got them

oh yeah and liberals hate them !!!!


they always work,

fairly priced,

Why? Because they fit me, point naturally, accurate and absolutely work every time. What better for a defensive pistol?

Great aftermarket support or upgradeable parts than most (production) handguns on the market and for the same reasons one of the members stated before me.

Well most of these guys pretty much hit the nail on the head but to recap: reliability and simplicity!

Besides, what other firearm is trusted by so many LE personel all across the country with the same specs hmmm?

  • Ease of stripping down the pistol with vritually no tools
  • Local support here in Metro Atlanta. I can drive over and get the pistol worked on while I wait
  • Ergonomics/trigger. While not for everyone... I LOVE the feel/fit.

Affordable, simple & reliable. Anyone who is somewhat mechanically inclined can completely strip down and rebuild them using only a glock tool which costs $5 in my area. Tons of aftermarket parts, upgrades, holsters accessories etc. Parts and accessory compatibility. A lot of the parts on my G19 will fit on my G26 and vice versa. I can use any glock 9mm mag in my G26 and my G19 can use all 9mm glock mags except for G26 mags. You can run just about any jacketed ammo through them, mine will function flawlessly with the cheapest crap out there.
