Why is Glock so Hot????

[Ron Smith]

"Surprisingly, Security Six is super complex inside. I disassembled it trying to find what's wrong, and I could not put it back."

Actually the Security Six has the least complicated internals of any revolver. It was designed for field stripping by military personnel.

It sounds like you had the hand and trigger out of sync. Easy to do if you don't hold your tongue right.

Find an assembly manual and follow the instructions. You will be surprised at how simple it is, once you figure it out.

I've owned several variations of the Speed Six and Security Six. It is one of the best revolvers ever built and extremely reliable. I presently own a customized 6" stainless. It is my, "always take along in case I need to shoot something" gun. I always grab it first if I want a good accurate utility gun with me in the woods.

Ron, I just looked up NRA's Firearm Assembly Guide (which I used to disassemble that revolver). Security Six has 60 parts!! Later on, a local gunsmith assembled it back for me, he found a few parts were missing (I accidentally dropped clipboard box containing the parts on floor once. I thought I picked up everything....) Parts plus labor, I paid him $80.

NRA's guide is well written on disassembling. On putting it back, it simply says "reverse the procedure".... Lord.

I was trying to be facetious. my bad

[padredan]

Well now, that should get a few responses. I think i will hold off on that one.

off topic - this world would be much better without guns. everyone would get along and there would be no fighting or death. If there was conflict it could be resolved by talking instead of war mongering. guns are the reason for all that is wrong with the world today. We should all smoke some medicinal marijuana and recycle our guns to build shelters for 3rd world countries.Only police and criminals should have firearms. :P

Skye..If this is a quote by some moron you should really add their name so it won't be attributed to you.

Best Glock Commercial

[lugerholsterrepair]

That is one rediculous commercial! In the real World when the guy popped up from behind the counter he would have been flying to Valhalla in a hailstorm of lead. I don't know where they would find Police Officers with that kind of restraint.

[pitsword]

Not sure about Anton Glock, but his wife is very very hot. Whips and chains. That is why Glock is Hottt.

Here's my favorite 1911 commercial:

I like this one http://www.dialoginternational.com/d...st-export.html , over the weekend i have had four people ask if i still had the glock forsale, they were looking to buy one.

[CavScoutEurope]

I carry a S&W J frame in .38 Special. I like it because it will fit in my pocket. I also have a Glock 26 and I hated it before I put the mag extender on! My fingers would just hang off and it didn't feel good. Now it is just fine. I'm still a little hesitant to carry the Glock just because it does not have a safety and I really don’t want an accidental discharge.

[conehammer]

and I thought I was the only one that thought they are butt ugly!

Some may shoot me 'pun intended', but I would say I despise the Glock pistol.
I don't know if it comes from all my M1911 love. I don't know if it's just 'too' generic a design for me. I know they work well and have a certain degree of reliability.
Just.
Don't.
Like.

I'm an old school kinda guy. I love steel and wood, and while plastic may be ok for kitchen utensils, I have no love for the combat Tupperware. A Glock, to me, is like a hammer or screwdriver. It does it's intended job, and you put it back in the toolbox. There is a certain mechanical ingenuity , but absolutely NO aesthetic attraction to a Glock. In that sense, I guess it is aperfect VolksPistole and symbol of our time, mass produced, soulless and least-common-denominator driven. It appeals to those shooters who are just starting out, or who have knolwdge of guns only gained from Hollywood. I really don't know and cannot fathom the deep sense of loyalty that a lot of people have for these things, but that is fine. I will continue to acquire and shoot my Pythons, 1911's, Hi Powers, and now, Lugers. My son, who is 15 is just starting to become truly interested in the history of various firearms, told me that the historic guns are important because "they are history you can carry and stop bad guys with". That has a nice ring to it, I think.

Honestly quoted for reading my mind

[DavidJayUden]

You are probably preaching to the choir here. I've never owned or even fired one and if I die sans Glock that will be just fine with me. But, having said that, Glock owners say that they just simply work. Dead nuts reliable. And there is something to be said for that. Bur I see it like riding an old British motorcycle. It's not just about getting somewhere, but it is also about the journey along the way.
Of course my answer might be different if someone is shooting at me...

Glocks are what they are tools, they work and now from what i read they have 62 percent of the law enforecement market. so they are doing something right. It maybe advertising? Once glock gets those quantity police dept orders it sometimes just snowballs and like we have said they do work. I own several of them . Actualy the gun you do not mind putting through the mud and the muck, it's not going to hurt the looks of it anyway.
