Glock Talk... Anyone a member or there?

[CPO15]

I've been a member for a few years; but my account has never been granted posting authority (not uncommon) so I can only search and read. This is a "good thing" as it prevents me from participating in the frequent acrimony in that site, yet allows me to enjoy it as a passive observer; kinda like rubbernecking a car wreck.

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...

Why do that when a CW45 can be bought for at or below $350 shipped? Much thinner and a great shooter with a lot less recoil. No contest, even if you don't factor in the price difference.

I'm a member there under a different name. It prevents Yaa hoo bleed over onto other sites.(I been down that childish road before years back under a different topic.) GT can be informative but there are quite a few members there that I think the first word out of there mouth every morning is Glock. I agree Glock is a good gun but my God it's not the only gun in the world as some at GT would love to have us believe. Anything ever gets said negative about a Glock and the fan boys are falling out of the rafters calling it BS. I find it quite humorous at times. Other times I think WTF get your heads out of the sand and experience other brands and they might just find out that there Glock is just another good gun amoung many. I certainlty do not think it's better than an XD, CZ,Beretta, Sig.,HK. or a good 1911. To be honest I don't think it as good as most of those brands. JMO.

You failed to mention Kahr, which are also better guns!

I tried the Diamondbacktalk forum for awhile trying to get some help with my DB9. It seems if you don't think their guns are the most marvelous thing since sliced bread, you get labeled a troll and asked to leave or get the boot. I've seen a couple of our members or there be treated rudely by ADMIN. He threatened 3 people in a row, and I asked him if he was having a bad day, LOL, he replied he should have sent them PM's so we wouldn't have seen how he was acting. Hope ADMIN got coal in his stocking for Christmas.

OOps My bad, Don't know how I could have forgotten Kahr.(senior moment I guess) I know my G26 is a nice CC pistol,but when I try to compare it to my PM9 it carries like a brick. My Glock has not been more reliable than My Kahr as it's been perfect also and I've got more rounds through my Kahr. That and the Kahrs styling as well as many other brands IMO has it all over the glocks. That's not even getting into sights, triggers,grips angle and feel, and safety features.

As I'm a fan of many, Fanboy of none.

I'm also a member on GT, as well as about a dozen others. Each forum has a personality and draws that crowd. I see GT as a young full of testosterone site with a lot of posturing a chest thumping. Some other sites are like a group of old scientists arguing for hours about getting one more angel on the head of a pin. Neither have much tolerance for new thoughts and are quick to circle their wagons like a troop of gibbons pounding their chest screaming "me too!"

I'm more comfortable here with the pot belly stove in the hardware store feeling I get listening to good natured back and forth along with good advice and new information considered.

I haven't shot any Glocks and only fondled a few. Based on double stack mags, I assumed there isn't a Glock in my future.

I'm surprised to hear Baanna say the the SF models don't offer help to those with smaller hands. I tought that was the design intent of SF models.

I am a member at GT and can testify that the mod over there is a butt nugget. Anyway, I much prefer shooting the breeze over here with my buddies and bawanna. He's in a category all by himself.

Triggerman, the G36 is the red headed step-child of the Glock family. It is a single stack. If it had a better trigger, it could be the Glock 1911.

The other issue I always had with GT is the forum structure. Seems over time they just added more and more stuff, so that there are a ton of sub-forums and many seem redundant. At least they have cleaned up the layout a bit. For a while the advertising was so heavy it was hard to actually find the forums.

I ask a question about comparing a G26 vs CW9, I was sad to here all the bad stuff about the cw9, The one i have is a far better gun than my old G26. I should have knowed better to ask that on a Glock forum. I also posted a reply to a post about a glock 23 .40 cal that had a KABOOM with someones brothers, uncles reloads. and said thats why i only shoot factory ammo or load my own and I will never shoot reloads that someone made in there basement while drinking beer with his buddies.....WOW did they let me have it. I guess everyone over there is an expert in ammo manufactoring.

I have been a member on INGunOwners forum for years and everyone is nice and friendly like here. If anyone is from IN. or in a close state you may want to check it out. I have bought alot of guns from there classified ads.

I am just thankful for Kahr Talk.

Thanks everyone.

[Bawanna]

Ain't no ammo experts on GT, they all reside right here.

You did mention the G word more than the allowed 3 times per post (4) so I'm forced to put you on verbal probation for the first warning.

Give my best to Hoss and Mr. Cartwright, always hated Parnell.

Note of interest, before people started calling me bawanna I was a Little Joe too. Worked with a feller that was twice as big as me, so he was Big Joe and I was Little Joe. Never did visit the Ponderosa though. My aunt did get me their autographs though. I seen their guns and belt in the Cody museum. I was in awe.

Ok your verbal probation period is now over, carry on.

I've been on GT for a long time. There are some very knowledgeable and friendly folks over there. However, due to the fact that GT has a very large member base, you're bound to find a few douche bags on there with nothing better to do than start crap. Comes with the territory I suppose.

[Ubaldo99]

+1 OldLincoln. Your description perfectly captures the ambience of the KahrTalk forums. Its a friendly place. I've done some "lurking" on the GT forum, mainly to gather info about my G19, but I havent joined as yet... and probably wont.

[ltxi]

Pretty much gotta agree with that. Been a member for years. I own Glocks and have been visiting a bit recently to pick up on opinions about the Gen4s and some late production Gen3 issues. Spent a fair amount of time on GT's Kahr forum pre-KahrTalk.

KahrTalk is a different, more friendly animal.
