Great post as always. Just to piggyback on it, I’d also like to point out that the Glock 20 has been the best $500 reliable 10mm pistol for over a decade. Most 10mm pistols on the market are either way more finicky with annoying selection, or are way more expensive, but the G20 is one of the best beginner-friendly 10mm pistols available.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

heck yeah

10mm is best mm

clamhurt_legbeard ago

lol

i specifically didnt talk about that

40 is a tricky thing

notice how newer glocks got a double nested recoil spring to deal with the 40

Good one clammy.

I’ve owned two polymer striker fired pistols and neither was a Glock — that needs to change but I’m a whore for sick rifles and steel pistols

ExpertShitposter ago

Hammer and MeTaL.

A patricians choice.

Battlefat ago

I bought a “Glock”

clamhurt_legbeard ago

see

and yet i betcha a dollar they both came long after

glock invented an entirely new market

come to think of it ive owned at least three

but only one was glock

glock invented an entirely new market

Not polymer lowers them selves tho.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

correct

it was the first successful one by a longshot

and the market of polymer striker fired autoloaders is glock based

not hk based

but hk was definitely first

Buys a Honda because tired of his Merc breaking down

Basically Glock

clamhurt_legbeard ago

Battlefat ago

Yes, it’s a compliment to Honda (and Glock)

I really like these posts clammy, keep em coming!

If I had to carry a gun all day that I could rely on when needed, it would be a Glock. But just for fun on the range I'll choose something else.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

ok but ill eventually have to stop when i run out of guns i like

lol

Zinnsee ago

Luckily there's plenty of guns to like out there :)

clamhurt_legbeard ago

Excellent post. And now I miss my Glock. Well, I have but you just ripped the scab off.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

altro87 ago

This is good bro.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

thank you sir

check out the rest if you like them

drakesdoom2 ago

Holy fuck clammy. Now you gone and done it. You insulted my prize nigger goodifier.

Wonder nines are 9mm double stack METAL FRAMED pistols. Because on top of capacity recoil left the building and ain't coming back.

If you ever need to put some holes in a barn door, don't use a Glock. It will put one hole in your neighbors barn and three in your car.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

lol

whats your prize goodifier

you didnt say

but seriously bro im pretty darn sure the term came about for glocks

drakesdoom2 ago

A SS elite 229.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

nice

i have a west german 226

Adminstrater ago

Can't the glock shoot underwater, or am I confused with movies?

Also, I am little confused when it comes to:

and some even go so far as to fill the back grip with epoxy and do major surgery

Why would this be something that people need to do?

clamhurt_legbeard ago

yes

the glock can shoot underwater

other stuff can too

but still cool lol

Why would this be something that people need to do?

because its too long front to back

hard to reach the trigger properly and reach the magazine release and slide lock

Adminstrater ago

Sweet. Thanks for the quick answers!

That was a really good one. Thank you. I don't care for the glock trigger. I wouldn't even think that they would need to patent it since nobody should want to copy it. I was really surprised that they actually sued someone over it.

I have a model 17 and I like it. It's kind of strange how glock only makes this one type of gun. It's probably really smart from a manufacturing standpoint.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

thanks dude

yeah it makes sense

just focus all your engineering on ings that apply to your whole product line

the farthest design is the glock 18

but thats just a glock with an extra knob

the trigger was the smith and wesson sigma

their first polymer auto i think

they copied the trigger

but now instead of a piece in e middle

its a two piece thing

FuggBenis ago

More of these kind of posts, please.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

every second and fifth tuesday

ive done a bunch so far lol

FuggBenis ago

I must've missed them, but nowadays I mostly browse v/all. So they might've been buried under all that QRV and greatawakening circlejerking.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

dude

the link is at the bottom of the article you just read lol

FuggBenis ago

Yeah, that works. Fucking hell.

con77 ago

great post

clamhurt_legbeard ago

thank you sir

i need me a polymer 80

con77 ago

is that true about him fighting off a hit man?

clamhurt_legbeard ago

And that's far from all: back in 1999 Gaston survived an assassination attempt organised by his trusted tax adviser in Luxembourg. The adviser lured him into a car park where the would-be killer waited, springing out of the shadows and repeatedly battering him around the head with a hammer. According to the prosecutors, the then 68-year-old Gaston fought back, punching his assailant in the eye, then in the mouth, knocking out a bunch of teeth. The attacker fell, "arms outstretched like Jesus" according to the prosecutor, on top of Glock. And that was how the two men were found when the police turned up.

Both the assailant and Glock's tax adviser ended up with lengthy jail sentences.

incredible. I gotta be honest. Usually by this time of night Im pretty well in the bag. How many times have I told you about the 55ft seas in Alaska?

clamhurt_legbeard ago

zero times

but i went to sleep lol

tell me now instead

con77 ago

Saw 55 ft waves in a typhoon in the Bering Sea in January I think it was '82. Theres some salt water for ya! 75 knot winds -75 F windchill! Watched a walrus porpoising in the storm. Swimming for its life. I thought it was great at the time. If I was there now Id be on my knees prayin! Hows mom and the kid?

clamhurt_legbeard ago

shit dude

ive done flights where it was right at freezing and i had to hold my hand outside the window

75 knots will give you some wind chill

thats how i learned there is a new stage beyond cold

you stop even feeling the cold itself because everything is just pain

and yet i guaran damn tee it wasnt even as bad as 75 knots with fucking arctic bs

55ft is like being hit with a building

once i watched a talk with the commander of the long beach coast guard base

he was up there in the arctic for a while flying helicopters off ships

somebody asked him once if he ever thought about doing medevac stuff and his response was no

thats too dangerous

i was like holy shit

con77 ago

a building moving at 50 mph!
