GARD72977 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 I started with A Glock 34 shooting IDPA and loved it. I bought a CZ Sp-01 and immediately hated the gun. I could not draw it without putting the safety on. Keep working with it and became ok with the change. The Shadow 2 came along so I bought one. Long story short I was shooting a few Glocks at work and and realized how much I love the gripe angle of the gun. Went to the gun store today and bought a new gen 3 17. I quite dryfiring the CZ. I just never was able to really make the change. Can't wait to get back after it with the Glock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
war_material Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Man I went Glock 19, Glock 34, CZ Shadow, Glock 35, Tanfoglio Stock 2, Back to Glock 24 in limited. Just always feels like home when I shoot the Glock. Trigger and ergos are not as good but I shoot it better what can I say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJmorgan Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Did the same thing... put 30K thru a G34, then tried a CZ SP01... couldn't get used to the weight, transitions were slower, didn't put in the effort to make the DA/SA transition easy...was easier to go back to Glock. If you prefer the Gen3s, now is the time to put a few away... Glock is only doing "occasional" runs of Gen3s for the CA market, and that will only last until they drop off the Handgun Roster. Gen3s already unavailable at LEO/MIL distributors, I bought the last G34g3 at GT Distributors in January, and my local cop shop can't order Gen3s from Glock anymore.

bowenbuilt Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I didn't pick up a Glock anything for 2 whole years, shot CZ's exclusively. Picked a Glock up last month and ran the fastest time ever on a plate rack. I feel that once you master the Glock trigger you will always shoot them faster than anything else. I love my CZ's but i shoot the Glocks much faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igolfat8 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I got two high end 2011’s that have 1# triggers to die for yet I shoot my Glocks so MUCH faster and more consistently. I couldn’t agree more with the OP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad you posted this because I thought I was the only one and everybody I told didn't understand it. The Glock Grip angle Locks in my grip better than anything and always hit the safety on my draws on CZ's Tango's etc.. I draw the Glock and shoot, it's lightweight, it's accurate, there's aftermarket parts everywhere and they are a dream to work on and are cheap..

GARD72977 Posted May 24, 2018 Author Share Posted May 24, 2018 Glad to hear that Im not the only one. Seems I was chasing something that's not there. Can't wait to see the faces of my friends when I show up with the plastic gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B_RAD Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I got all y'all beat on switching back and forth. Glocks are totally adequate and then some! For me, the only issue is the mags hang up on me. It has to be my fault but I just don't have that issue with any other gun. I will probably switch back to production next year. I doubt I'll be shooting a Glock though. Gonna be a Tanfo or CZ.

The gun needs nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GARD72977 Posted May 25, 2018 Author Share Posted May 25, 2018 Not interested in looking at anything else. I have decided I want glock to play around in Limited too. I have drank the kool-aide and looking for another glass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sigsauerfan Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 while my tactical sport fit my hands perfectly,i've never felt good with the shadow 1 or 2. all the levers were in my grip's way. i still have 4 fully mod'ed glocks for limited . i'm trying my TS's for limited which i see as a change for a change, but honestly i too feel at home with my glocks, so i might get back to my 35 and 22 in the next few months .

Jeremyc_1999 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I hate to sound like a glock fan boy, but I have a 2011 open gun and I am seriously considering listing it in the b/s/t because I shot my glock at a 3 gun match last weekend and it felt so good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obsessiveshooter Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I switched from glock to a CZ TS for Limited, and I'm glad I did because the trigger helps a lot. Recently I put together a sweet shooting SP01 clone for production, and surprisingly I was left thinking that a striker fired pistol is ideal for production. And I still think the glock grip angle beats anything out there for controlling recoil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZ173 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 I did the other way around, cz to glock and back to cz. I even got a $2k+ zev glock 34 and just not for me. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk ZEV guns are great and very smooth shooters.best glock money can buy for limited. the only catch in there being the lightened slide instills a snapier muzzle flip which is something people don't expect at first.adding a frame weight and thumb rest on such worked glock is nealy mandatory unless you're bob vogel.

In order to get a nice trigger pull then the reset is not positive or it will not reset at all. And then you compare it to a stock cz tactical sport and you realize you spent $1k too much Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT,my glocks feel better in my hands.i shoot my glocks a little better than my tac sport. maybe the extra weight is killing my transitions . i'm quite positive i'm gonna get back with my highly mod'ed limited glocks. it just fits my hands better, no levers in the way, no safety........glocks just fits me well.

igolfat8 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I am very comfortable with my G34, 17, 19 and 26 for each of their intended uses but my 42 and 43 not so much. They are just too small and I am the least accurate with those itty bitty ones. Therefore, I abandonded ship in favor of a SIG P365 with zero regrets.

Honeybooboo Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Pretty much the same. Had a tuned stock 2. Prefer glocks. Have been trying a bunch of other polymer guns like M&Ps, vp9’s, PPQs, etc. the VP9 and PPQ are pretty sweet but their ergos don’t lend themselves to fast shooting like a Glock.

mont1120 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Well, I just went the opposite way. Started CO with a Glock 34, then dropped the dollars on a CZ Custom SP-01 Shadow. Have been shooting really good with the CZ, and last weekend I went back to the Glock 34. Dear Lord I shot like a drunk monkey on a roller coaster......I swear I just cannot adjust to the grip on a Glock. I think the other weird sensation is expecting the feel of the double action pull that the CZ requires on the first shot causes issues on the Glock even though there is no DA pull. Gladly back to the CZ, but to each his or her own. We have a shooter here in production that beats high end open guns using a Glock............

polymerfeelsweirdman Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 There is something just nice and simple about Glocks. I've also come to appreciate the factory trigger components. Bob Vogel proved you can take a factory Glock to national wins so I feel it is worth trying. Other things that I like: -I like how simple the sight picture is. You have the sights and a simple rectangle beneath -the grip angle. Compare that to Beretta 92's which I also like but have tiny sights and levers on the slide -the controls are in the right places with oem options in the right sizes, I cannot stand the huge slide lock/release levers on other guns -the price of mods; you can of course go way down the rabbit hole with titanium strikers and things like that but basic things like a grip plug, extended mag release, regular slide stop, and die cut grip tape are all cheap and I don't think you need much beyond that (aside from sights) -you can actually use your self defense gun for competition and vice versa as proven by Bob Vogel, I'm not sure that would be a good idea with some of the shadow 2's or other guns out there (especially 2011's) -you can completely disassemble with an Allen wrenche/pen/etc -literally do not care if they get scratched or scuffed, on Glocks they build character, on other guns they build frustration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
