yes I know this is a ruger forum and im a ruger man no doubt but here goes . a few years back I was at a family function and some pumpkin headed weirdo was bragging on his 45 gap so I got to talking guns with the guy and he was pretty arrogant every gun I owned or mentioned his reply was its junk throw it out buy a glock I just kinda played along with the guy I didn't wanna be disrespectful to my sister in laws family so after the conversation was over I just had it in my head I will never own a glock just cause I didn't want to have anything in common with this guy .ive had people in shops try to sell me glocks over the years since then and I wouldn't even hold one in my hands I was dead set against them . so im back at the range the other day shooting some 45 acp from my Blackhawk convertible at about 25 feet and a guy pulls up and says mind if I shoot with you I said sure go ahead . so hes shooting a ruger 22 revolver then pulls out a glock 17 and starts shooting .he was hitting consistently 12to 14 inches low at 7 feet!! well I came to find out the guy has medical issues nerve damage so on . he says to me im trying to shoot up this 9mm ammo hes had a while and asks me if I wanna try out his glock I didn't want to at 1st but I took the gun I went out put up a fresh target at 25 feet walked back to shooting area picked up the glock and let loose with a 17 round mag full and WOW I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised and even impressed .very light weight very nice trigger and very accurate . now I need another 9mm like I need a hole in my head I already own a sr9c and a p95 but im kinda really wanting a glock 17 or maybe even a 19 . i would have to start buying jacketed or plated bullets though i mostly shoot my own cast reloads from my rugers .
