besides tis guy beatin the crap outta his glock theres more i like about it. one argument i would like to make is the grip. other than a glocks grip being "to big" the " i just dont like it" is a stupid excuse. if you know anything about shooting a pistol the design of the glock grip is the best out there. let me explain. the angle of the grip makes you actually grip the pistol like its suppose to be griped. and it forces your shooting hand to basically push forward into the pistol. you dont stand straght up or lean back with your body when your are shooting do you? well same rule applies with your hands on the pistol grip. it helps with recoil and follow up shots. it also allows you to get your tang high up in the grip and it dramatically reduces the bore height over your hand which is important. it helps manage recoil. if you graduated high school you should know what im talking about. simple science i dont think i have to explain it. i own a glock 21sf. is the grip big? sure ill admit that. was it uncomfortable at first? of course!! i myself didnt like holding it. but i got use to it and i dont even notice any of that anymore. am i a glock fan boy? no im a fan man. dont call me a boy otherwise that makes all my ex girlfriends pedophiles. when it comes to pistol shooting grip is like needing air. you have to have it. will it be perfect if you ever get in a sticky situation? nah. you may need air but you can still hold your breath. i could go on but i wanted to hit up on the grip and the mechanics of it and why it is the way it is. ive gone from shooting my 1911 to shooting my glock and i can tell a difference in recoil and how i can control to pistol better with a glock during fireing. Glock enough said!
