funny story about Glocks and Divorce

[Gunnerdad80]

So I'm broke right now due to the obvious. I didn't sell any CZs, But I did sell an old Ruger 22 pistol, a 1903A3 and an Eddystone...  sigh....
Neighbor came by and we were all amicably chatting and she said her husband got a glock 45 and was stoked etc...
I instinctively hung my head in shame shame shame...
She asked why I seemed sad and I said quietly/honestly "Glocks suck, I hate them", not to be mean, but just my deep gun thoughts etc...
My soon to be ex-wife piped up - "That's just his opinion... Personally I like Glocks and I shoot a Glock 19(once a year) and...." I tuned out at that point but she went on and on. I thought about explaining in excruciating detail why CZ > G, but it was to a couple of non shooting women so I figured I would keep my mouth shut, and maybe save myself some money and hassle later on down the road. I think he got the 30S which is the exact gun my wife picked out but then hated and we ended up selling because she didn't listen to me and get something halfway decent at least like the 43 that had just came out at the time. Poor guy, I cant wait to let him shoot a pair of 1911s or 97s and a PILE of freshly made cheap ammo.

I'm not going to go into details here on Glock bashing but running a match on ONLY paper scorecards because the old guys cant see computer screens, Unsupported chamber, Crap stock triggers, and poly crap frames(I just like steel) are the main reasons. At one match I saw one 300 pound dude in a kilt with no-kidding a drop leg holster for the Glock. I about spilt all my ammo out right there. Then a worker of the match gives me a hard time because I wasn't all Glocked up/looking bored. He was checking safety I guess, which the gun was cleared and bagged and such but in the back of my mind I was like just let me work on splits today dude and roll on please....I'm all for beginners but what a freaking joke. Most of the people are nice I just don't like the way they run things, and Glocks suck.

Cheaper to keep’er, but better to forget’er. Play on playa.

Not a Glock fan either but divorce seems a bit extreme for her poor choice of firearms. All kidding aside, I have a good friend who is a complete Glockhead but every time I put a CZ in his hands he gets a huge smile on his face after putting a couple of mags downrange....then goes back to his Glocks that he doesn't shoot as well as my CZs. I just don't get the Glock religion but each to his own worship and such.

Unfortunately, I drank the Kool-Aid with Glock early on. But like you said, once you feel the grip of a CZ platform gun, there is no comparison. Now 95% of my guns are CZ platform.

Once you go CZ, the choice is easy. Well, CZ Platform at least.

I don't hate Glocks.  I just don't particularly like them.  Also, I have quite a few Polymer Framed Pistols in my Collection of useful artifacts.
One particular beef that often goes un-mentioned is the "generous" chamber dimensions most Glock versions have or had.  Barrel Chamber Support
can also be an issue. As a Reloader, I've noticed it takes a good bit more effort to re-size Brass that's been "Glocked".

I'm a whore...I'll shoot anything. Sure, I prefer a CZ but when times are tough that G22 will get naughty too.

HAHAHAAAAA! I like your style!

[Gunnerdad80]

HAHAHAAAA, I second that!

[newageroman]

that's funny but most of my CZs get the upgrade treatment too. It's so much harder for me to resist tuning a stock CZ than a stock glock.

I don't like glocks. Grip angle, unsupported chamber, lousy trigger, etc....Howether Glocks have one huge advantage: resistance to dirt, mud, sand.
If you are in the desert, jungle, swamp, clean your gun once a year (but not every year!) - Glock is for you. It will still function.

It's understandable that everyone has their own preferences when it comes to firearms. While you may not be a fan of Glocks due to factors such as grip angle, unsupported chamber, and trigger quality, it's worth noting that Glocks do have a reputation for their reliability in harsh environments.

However, it's important to note that regular cleaning and maintenance are still recommended for any firearm, including Glocks.

Not sure I agree that the newer generation of Glocks are as dirt resistant as their older counterparts.  See a lot more Gen 5s malfunction and basically it is either just a dirty gun (not cleaned) or dirt in mags.  Believe that Glock has tightened its tolerances to make their products more accurate, but has sacrificed a little on reliability.  Just my observation on shooting a matches.

I clean my CZ match pistol and mags after every other match, so I have not had that issue.  My problems are from buying cheap ammo, which will frequently not cycle the slide, or fail to lock back on last round.  Saving $20 on a case of ammo was a stupid decision; one not to be repeated.

A coworker told me he likes Glocks "because of the safety" which made me cross my eyes and make the smelling salts face but I digress. He said he has shot a nice 1911 so I'm still bumfuzzled.

I also got to shoot my .22 Joker Pistol next to the ongoing Glock match. I will just say that I'm still not impressed. Have a great weekend and stay away from the Dark Side!

I work with a lot of idiots too. Sadly, most have post secondary educations (maybe that should be a strike against them?  )

Avoid divorce and tinker with Glocks as side chicks.

There are Colt-styled 1911 45 autos, Smith-styled K frames, Browning Hi Powers and......."other pistols" thou I do love my CZ 82s....

Lo, do I ever know that I will be dog piled, and yet- there it is in my opinion.
