No, they are glocks. Plastic guns. Nothing to see, move along. Get a real metal one.

I agree on the updated Gen4 recoil spring. It's not a huge difference, but I perceived a slight reduction in recoil when Glock replaced my Gen 3 G27 with a Gen 4 G27 a few years ago.All I can tell you is that my G26 Gen4 is the best shooting small gun I've ever laid hands on. I fully believe it is due to the dual recoil springs. My mom has a LadySmith S&W, a steel 9mm that weighs twice what my G26 does, and it has harsher recoil than my G26. And being such a small gun and me having larger than average hands, the backstrap that has the beavertail at the top really saves the old hand from slide-bite.
And are made of metal, not plastic.Meh, real guns have hammers.
Yeah, I get a chuckle out of the anti-polymer elitists as well. :lol:I routinely laugh at the range at folks that say silly things like "real guns have hammers" and "real guns are made of metal". Of course its the same laughter as in the old days when it was "real men only carry 45s". Shoot the pistol that you can handle best and hit what you aim at, and laugh along with me when you hear others pronouncements about what is "real" and what isn't.
Purely my personal experience with Gen 4, I now have five Gen 4 models I have obtained over several years (two G27, two G21, one G17). The only problem I had with reliability with Gen 4 G21 models was with using extended mags, and I think my grip had something to do with it as others with the exact same setups in their Gen4 models had no issues. I was probably limp wristing a bit in those days. When using stock mags there were no issues.Due to the blackstrap design on Gen 4, firing mechanism parts of Gen 3 and lower do no fit.
Years back Gen 4 pistols were having problems but I don't remember at the moment.
I do see more gen 4 for sale than gen 3.
I had used both and preferred Gen 3.
I try to, but it does wear a bit after the 100th iteration. :lol:Yeah, I get a chuckle out of the anti-polymer elitists as well. :lol:
I suppose we all have out little hangups about certain things where we pity others who don't "see the light", myself included, but it isn't firearms related.
As far as carry weapons are concerned, a reasonably priced tool that is 100% reliable, lightweight, easy to carry and shoot, has a huge capacity, the manufacturer is located within a few minutes driving distance, and has demonstrated will fix worn out parts for free (time and time again), is the criteria that is important to me. Anything else is just senseless noise.
Just view these kinds of comments for what they are - lighthearted comedy relief.![]()
Ill be able to pick mine up and fire it long after your beloved metal will be too hot to handle. As for melting :rotfl:Yeah you leave that plastic thing out in the sun, sitting right next to mine. Yours will melt into a plop of goo and I will take mine home to keep my feet warm all night long.

Yeps, there you have it.There you have it. Metal 1911's are the only man made device in the history of the world that never has parts wear out. :lol:
Cool story, bro!
