Welcome. I'm sure your shooting expertise and Glock knowledge will be called on before long. There are plenty of Glock owners here. My hands aren't large enough for any Glocks I have tried but I've often wondered if there was a short trigger and smaller grip. I understand Gen 4 to be a step in the right direction, I've also notice they sell a couple of SF (Short Frame) models. Am I limited to 1911s with slim grips?

I have to say they are not that friendly. Some members over there just want start crap. Now I know that i dont know everthing about Glocks, But as for Guns in general i have some experience. I'm a NRA Instructor,Member of NMLRA,GSSF Member,and ATA shotgun Instructor,and hunted all over the country, and CC'ed everyday for over 20yrs and have bought,sold,traded guns even back in high school.

But I say that Glock Talk is not for me. It kinda makes me want to sell all my Glocks if that is what all glock owners act like...lol.

This forum is great and filled with wonderful people

Thanks,
Littlejoe

Your certainly not the first person to have similar thoughts to the Glock forum. I'm snuck in a couple times to look around and couldn't find the exit fast enough. Kind of sad it's that way. Not sure why it is that way, maybe busier, more members, lesser mods, can't put my finger on it.

I know we have many members here who visit there and quite a few that got banned over there too. I'm thinking about checking out the 1911 forum just to see what others are like, I don't think I'll be on Glock any time soon.

No shame in owning a Glock either if they work for you. I have a 21SF (Triggerman, the SF won't do a thing for small hands, but maybe a Gen4, I've never played with one yet).

Forums do not make a brand, so I'd not go so far as to get rid of your Glocks just cause of a caustic forum. I wonder what the record is for getting banned over there anyhow. I'm always up for setting records.

I can see it now, maybe in their banner, bawanna banned after 2 post.

Maybe I'll get a gold star or a statue, ya think?

Triggerman- "Am I limited to 1911s with slim grips? "

You make it sound like this is a bad thing? If I die with nothing but 1911's I'll die a happy man, happier if I have alot of others too but if there can only be one make it a 1911.

I'm a member of Glock talk but traded the only glock i owned,my Glock 19 Gen 3 last wk end for a PT 1911 DT, i really did like the Gk 19 just had a bug for a 1911,no regrets
There are some pretty radical posters on that site,

**Littlejoe** · 12-26-2011, 10:29 PM

Thanks Guys, Glad it was just not me.

I also have a Rock Island 1911 in 9mm and have to say i like it as well as any of my Glocks.... It was like $399 new and i have only put like 200rds through it without any troubles. I just find it alittle heavy for everyday carry. but great gun for the money.

**Barth** · 12-26-2011, 11:39 PM

Yup, I'm over there too - LOL!

Being kind of high profile by nature.
I'm pretty sure everybody knows.
With a Kahr MK40 Elite and a Glock Talo EXO G27.
I'm a member of both forums.

They are very different places.
This one is much more personal and family like.
A lot more than just a gun forum.

GlockTalk is big and sort of cold.
There is a minor Troll infestation to deal with.
But there are some good folks and quality info too.

I particularly like Mas and his SD forum.
Plus if you have a legitimate problem, you will get help.

I've been on GLOCK Talk since early 2006, same screen name as here.

It is one of the largest gun forums on the net and there are many many Internet Commandos there.

But I have also met, broke bread with and had many of them in my home. Some I consider true friends.

One of them recently died and we as a group came together to help the surviving spouse.

I was also in the military for nearly 23 years, lots of morons crossed my path there too and I got desensitized by their idiocy.

GT is a great place, if you have thick skin.

KahrTalk is much easier going, but it is a completely different animal, socially.

I like both places.

Triggerman,

Have you tried a Glock 36. I sold mine to my father in-law and have been considering getting it back on a trade. Its a .45 which is a bit unwieldy in the slim framed g36 but if that's what you're used to shooting...

I have been a member there since 2005 with the same screen name as here and it is a very different forum. I haven't been that active lately but there is a wealth of information there as well as a lot of good people. General Non-Glocking (GNG Lounge) is a free for all mostly. the OX & Alex Forum is a good place though with an odd collection of folks. I kinda miss it...

The main forum I am posting in is AR15.com with the same screen name as here and it has the same kind of make up. Each forum has it's own personality and quirks - it is hard to 'break into' a new one...

**WMD** · 12-27-2011, 06:33 AM

I have also ben a Glock Talk member since about 05. I do not frequent it very much nowadays. I used to visit the kahrclub section of the forum. I do not even know if it is still in existence anymore, it has been that long since I visited GT. I didn't like it. Too many "experts" that seemed to be overly impressed with themselves. The info they provided could not always be counted on. And.... (as a newbe) if you ask what could be considered a naive question..... Yikes! let the flaming begin! Maybe I am too thin skinned...?

Glock Talk... Anyone a member or there?

I still go there from time to time, but post little as the two sections I'm most interested in, Kahrs and HKs, are fairly slow, with few postings.

The GlockTalk forum and the Kahr Club section in particular was probably the internet goto place for Kahr forum help and info prior to the birth of KahrTalk. Some of the original stickies there, transfered to here, are the grail of knowledge. This forum has become the authoritative source for Kahr discussions, but GlockTalk served a valuable role for many years.

I'm a optimist, and see value in all the forums on which I visit and participate. Like all forums, one has to sift through the ore to find the gold. Some are better than others but all have nuggets.

**BrewerGeorge** · 12-27-2011, 07:43 AM

It's so big, there's bound to be yahoo's.

**Thunder71** · 12-27-2011, 08:10 AM

I'm going to sign up just to ask if the finish is durable or if I should exchange the springs on a Gen 4 Glock.

**Hognutz** · 12-27-2011, 08:47 AM

I am a member over there, since about Nov. Funny thing..They would not allow Hognutz as my username. Said it was offensive. So I changed it to something more generic. I was accepted. Now I see a guy on there that goes by Moosenutz. I also see posts that have the ''F'' word every other sentence. That doesn't bother me, as I am a retired Ironworker. I can curse with the best of them. Ironic though, Hognutz is too offensive, but Moosenutz isn't..Bunch of fokkers!! Actually, it is a good sight to learn about Glocks. That is my intention because I am going to buy one, soon. I wssn't sure whether to get a 23 or a 19, and had a lot of insight into both..I actually don't mind visiting there..

**Thunder71** · 12-27-2011, 09:06 AM

Yeah, I hear ya on the username thing... I tried using Tactical Condom on AR15 but got denied... then see others that are worse.
