G34 CORDY Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 hello, i went to the range today to shoot my xdm 9mm and rented a glock 35 just because i have never shot one before and i totally fell in love with it. i shot more accurate the grip angle fit me better and it just seemed like the gun was meant for me. so iam going to buy a glock 34 to shoot in uspsa production to replace my xdm. i love my xdm but i shoot the glock much better so the winner for me is the 34 or 35. just wanted to tell you all my first glock story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corey Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 i shot my buddy's G21 and the next week bought one for myself and put my XD to govebox use instead of daily carry. Im actually thinking about selling the XD soon and maybe buying another glock... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-ManBart Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 To be fair, all of my carry guns are Glocks I'd probably pick something else if I could, but rules are rules and it doesn't really bother me...I know they'll always go bang and hit what I'm aiming at.

LOL Shoot the xd for another year, in that time save your pennies and dimes, then buy the S_I. They aren't that much more than the Glocks, but they are much more pistol. You'll never be sorry about buying the S_I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarge Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 You did good! I sruggled with another gun for a year and finally got a 34. Should have taken peoples advice and bought one in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrumpyOne Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 (edited) a big wiener contest Thats funny! Sarge, I was trying to point out that S_I makes more than just open guns. I'm not slamming Glocks. They are a fine weapon, well built, dependable, and relatively cheap. They just aren't for me. I don't like the grip angle. If someone buys a new Glock, one of the first things they are gonna do is change the barrel, then the trigger, then the sites. Add all that cost up plus the gun, you have the cost of a very good used S_I, which has already had all that done to it (and the trigger will no doubt be better than the Glock). For what he is doing with it, and how he is shooting it, the Glock may be his Excalibur. I was just trying to let him know that there are better "blades", so to speak, out there for around the same price, as his Excalibur (and not open blasters either!). You guys hear S_I, and instantly think, open blaster....Open is one of their smallest sections! Edited May 15, 2010 by GrumpyOne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G34 CORDY Posted May 15, 2010 Author Share Posted May 15, 2010 grumpyone i understand your point but i do like glocks now that i have shot one, i like it better than my xdm. i shoot it well and it comfortable and i feel confident with it.. you like your tools and i like mine. thats why there are so many different guns to choose from. there is no perfect gun. i drive a truck because i like my truck, someone could not like it but there not the one driving it.

I agree with that wholeheartedly. You should shoot what you shoot best and what is most comfortable for you to shoot (and what you can afford! ). By the way, what kind of truck?
