I totally agree with you, just wanted to share! By the way, you let out Top Secret info that Glock’s are NOT infallible! The secrets out, the black helicopters will be at your house in 4 minutes. Take your family and flee!! Glock fanboys are rabid 😉 LOL @ Middle Earth evolution! Dwarves shooting Glock pistols that hold (non extended) 22 rounds after decoding the Sig ring to rule them all.

Here howler and Crocc, this video’s a little better: Yup, you can sure see the promising future regarding the Sig. Getting double stack ability out of single stack size is a game changer. I would LOVE if regular sized guns stayed the same and just had new magazine offerings featuring higher capacity, as I don't think I would want a smaller service gun...but hell yeah, I'd take a round increase.

Agreed. But then these multi-billion dollar gun companies wouldn’t be able to make their billions?! LOL

They would probably alter the damn guns so you have to buy the "NEW IMPROVED MODEL", rather than just the magazines alone. The companies know we gotta have the latest and greatest.

I know, I’m one to talk right?? 😇😈 I can’t help myself around swords OR firearms! I’m convinced that woman have a compulsion to collect shoes, jewlery, and big $$$ purses to carry around said baubbles. Us men are only different in the sense that our sharp, shiny, things that go bang come in sheathes, saya, and range bags! I think gun companies employ psychiatrists, and those psychiatrists use pictures of concept guns to see how patients react (like Rorschach tests). Sounds crazy right, but I could see them doing something similar!

Yes, throw in vehicles (bikes, boats, fast or strong cars/trucks), the sports world (football, basketball, baseball, soccer...which as American I don't get so much) and action adventure entertainment (you know the movies...not "chick flicks") and you kind of get dudes desires. Oh, I forgot porn. Gulp.

Personally, I think the most significant improvement in handguns generally in the last 50 years has been in better corrosion resistance. In that respect, Glock was a leader. That is, unless you like nickel-plated guns or stainless steel. Now everyone has a virtually rust-proof black finish. Otherwise, Glocks really aren't all that innovative. Even the little safety lever in the face of the trigger appeared in the 1920s--in another Austrian pistol.

The real innovation for Glock was just putting it all together, as a whole, and at the right time so police departments literally went from a 4" S&W revolver to a Glock .40. Quite a phenomenal jump.

Even the little safety lever in the face of the trigger appeared in the 1920s--in another Austrian pistol. Don’t forget H&K. They technically had the jump on Glock with several innovations.....first striker fired model, etc. One thing about Glocks that even I can’t deny, is their reliability. The ergonomics, trigger, and sights might be crap (and so much less than “perfection”), but the 4 that I have go bang every time I’ve pulled the trigger. Glock has never been my first choice in a list of “favorite” guns, but to deny their usefulness is folly! bluetrain- The new S&W 2.0’s all come with a very interesting armornite finish, and I don’t see why other companies would be so cheap as to not follow suit. Not all of us can afford nickel plated guns, no matter how much they make us drool 😉

The Luger is striker-fired, but very complicated. The H&K VP70 was the first with a polymer frame but when did you see one of those last? Even a double-stack magazine wasn't new. But to say Glock got it together wouldn't be an exaggeration. They were also fairly affordable, which may have helped more than anything. Simple, too, and not too heavy. Some don't care for the blocky slide but that makes it a lot easier to manipulate than some other popular pistols. Now that the latest models have an accessory rail, maybe someone will come out with a bayonet to go with it. It would have to have a plastic grip and sheath, too, just like my Lee-Enfield bayonet.

Another advantage of the blocky slide is brand recognition, so you see and understand with that distinctive profile. Glock also embraced the new calibers (10mm, .40, etc...), so it all added up to "space gun". And when foreign military and police contracts were signed it was off to the races...a perfect storm.

The sad part is, there IS something that could pass for a bayonet that could fit the accessory rail, and I hate myself for even sharing this www.midwayusa.com/product/319879/laserlyte-pistol-bayonet-ka-bar-mini-survival-knife-serrated-stainless-steel-blade-with-quick-detachable-picatinny-style-mount-and-polymer-sheath-black LOL

Very true! I absolutely LOVE my Glock 32. It’s less than a Springfield chambered in .357sig, and the one thing no one can deny is the never ending flood of aftermarket parts, holsters, and godawful accessories plastered all over the interwebs! 😏

CZ was offering the bayonet attachment (app?) years ago and I do see there are similar offering on eBay now.
I'm not sure that brand recognition is of any advantage for the owner but one advantage of popular models is that, these days, there are more accessories available and it's easier to find a holster you like. A curious thing, however, is that some people think that you practically have to do something to a new gun to make it, well, better somehow or other. After all, brand new guns straight from the factory are totally inadequate, unreliable, etc., etc., etc. Right?
Except maybe for Glock, which are perfection. Don't know why they keep introducing new generations of the same model, though.

It ain't no Ribeye, but it's a hell of a burger, at your corner drive thru, no reservations, can be had with or without mustard, and comes with fries and a coke. Answer is to have the ribeye on the weekend and go for the burger coming home from work, and worry about the heart attack after your dead.

Don't know why they keep introducing new generations of the same model, though. Maybe it makes me “boring,” but I wouldn’t buy a gun that I had to pump hundreds of dollars EXTRA into. What I tolerate with Glock is that steel night sights are a must, and with my Gen 3- 20, 21 I absolutely HAD to install a 3.5lb Ghost trigger connector. That’s about it for accessories. What’s really stupid is when people put bright slides with obnoxious cutouts, multi-colored triggers, and “competition” parts on a “carry” gun! *Sigh* To each his own I guess.
