I used to disregard Glocks

[WMDP]

I have always been a .45 fan...  1911s the way to go.  Until I wanted a 10mm and after much research I bought a Glock 20sf just because it seemed to get good reviews, sent it to Robbie Wheaton at Wheaton Arms to do his magic (KKM Barrel, slide cuts, trigger job, stipple the grip, undercut the trigger guard, add Trijicon RMR and grip force adapter)... all I can say is that for the last two months I haven't even wanted to get out the .45s... this thing shoots!  50 yards off hand, not a problem with the RMR...Double Tap 200gr hard cast bullets... here piggy piggy piggy.

Nothing bad about a .45 fan. I am. love my CZ97BD. Actually my favorite pistol. I just take Glock's as AK's of pistols. I think the hopefully upcoming Sig in 10mm will be a homerun. That platform is a natural.

The trigger is the key to me which is why i have so long favored the 1911.... and still do.  But especially for hog hunting I like the 10mm better.... but the trigger job on this Glock is getting close to a good 1911..... close.....

I'm with the OP.  I used to HATE Glocks with a passion.  Then I grew older and wiser!  I'm not a Fan Boy by any means, but it's so much easier to pack a Glock in the foothills of Appalachia when I Elk hunt, or hunting the flatlands at home for deer. 

Now that I think about it.  Pistol hunting is what brought back interest in meat harvesting for me!

I was watching some odd channel on TV one night, some years back, and Keith Warren came on a hunting show carrying a Glock 20!  I was in disbelief!  I've been hooked on pistol hunting since.

I think you hit the nail on the head....  I have several 1911s and love them all... and especially my Ed Brown .45... BUT they are heavy and I find myself carrying the Glock a good deal more often because it is so much lighter... that is especially so in CA... where we do not have the freedom to put more than 10 rounds in a mag... so we are not burdened by the weight of the extra ammo that a Glock could carry in the other FREE states....

For the money considering from all perspectives, there is simply not a better handgun in the world  Btw...I only own 5 Glocks.

Glocks don't start getting good until you work on the trigger. It's amazingly easy. Probably why it took me so long to do it!! 

[WMDP]

Doug you have gone to a whole new level.... what kind of groups do you shoot with that setup... and with what bullet?

[ShadeTreeVTX]

Bad - Its not the gun - I have had to switch to using my left eye - right one going bad - but I getting there ( right handed shooting with my left eye ) - the coated bullets are working great ( 200gr HCFP coated - and 200gr XTP HP's ) I have some 220gr coated but haven't tested them yet.
I'm going to order a chrono and go to a outdoor range about 50 miles away and test them this spring in the Hunter and the MechTech - when I get better shooting left eyed.

I don't disregard them. I just don't like them. If they ever make a single model that feels comfortable in my hand, I would consider one. So far, I haven't found one.

When you bust some pigs with that thing let us know. I recently bought. 20 for the same purpose.

[WMDP]

will do.. .unfortuantely my pig hunting property just sold and I am looking for another.....

[gandog56]

I still hate Glocks, but only because they just do not seem to make a model that feels comfortable in my hands. I mean their prices are extremely good, especially on 10mm's. But as long as a 1911 just feels so much more comfortable in my hands, that's what I keep buying.

Now if Gloock Made something that looked like this.....
