benny hill Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 You know, if the 35 is that good in competition, why are most all the top guys shooting S_I guns? Got to be something in the water they are drinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe D Posted January 29, 2007 Author Share Posted January 29, 2007 (edited) Maybe they are just not enlightened. Benny, let's don't start one of our arguments again. It is a no win proposition. You won't change my mind about anything and I am not going to try and change yours. BTW someone needs to tell Dave to get rid of that plastic gun and get a real one.

benny hill Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Key word being MOST of the top shooters use S_I's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Most of the shooters go with the STI. Fact is, STI pays more attention to our game than anybody else. They do a lot of things right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singlestack Wonder Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 First, we need to realize that USPSA, IPSC, and IDPA, represent less than .001%(yeah, I'm guessing but I bet it's a very small number) of all firearms purchases in the world. If the world overall firearms sales numbers were published based on manufacturer, I believe Glock would come in at #1 or very close to it. The custom, high end 1911's (STI,SVI,etc.) #'s would be too small to even show up in the ratings. There's reasons other than cost as to why Glock owns the market. "Glock Perfection" pretty much sums it up.......................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhunter Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 (edited) I would say that Glock just might come in at #1 But a lot of that is due to the fact that they, until recently, were the ONLY plastic game in town. There are LOTS of 1911 companies. NOW, if you want to compare apples to apples, lump all of the 1911 companies together, and then put up the numbers. We are NOT talking about Wilson vs. Glock, or Springfield vs. Glock, or Kimber Vs. Glock, well you get the picture. Let's compare platform against platform, 1911 to plastic. Now tell me how dominant the Glock is!!! Edited January 29, 2007 by zhunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Middle Man Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Not to burst any one particular bubble, but for 2006 Glock was my third largest handgun vendor by volume. Apples to Apples to Apples... All J Frames and associated 2" .38 clones will win that numbers war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe D Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 (edited) STI/SVI are good $800-$900 guns priced at $1700+. I think one might find that Glock may out sell all of the 1911s lumped together. It would be interesting to see those numbers. The LE market is huge.
