why does everybody preach the glock theory? special forces, seals and other elite military units carry Sig?

Question

some carry hk and a few 1911 kimbers

Answer 1

I carry a Glock Model 23(compact .40cal).Many law enforcement agencies issue Glock pistols for their reliability and "user-friendliness".They are "idiot-proof".I am very happy with mine(here is where the comments go) and have no doubt that it will perform in any self-defense situation.
The pistols that you mention are all excellent pistols as well,however,remember that government contracts are awarded to the lowest bidder.That isn't to say that they are an inferior product,just that they were the lowest bidder on the contract.A good example is that the contract is coming up on the Beretta 9mm pistol that is standard issue for the U.S. Military.It is not a given that Beretta will be renewed and Smith & Wesson feels confident that they are a front-runner for that contract.
And a further note to those who talk about a lack of a manual safety on Glock pistols while talking about the safety of double action only revolvers and pistols;the safety is called KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER !! Revolvers have no safety,nor do double action only pistols.That argument is one of the most tired and ignorant excuses that those with little to no experience with Glock pistols use to downgrade an excellent pistol that is just not their preffered weapon of choice.

Answer 2

For the most part, the Glock operates like a double action revolver. Aim and pull the trigger. There is a slide release of course and a mag release but no other controls. Glocks become hugely popular with large police departments transitioning from revolvers to auto loaders because the cost of training was minimal when compared to a lot of other automatics. Not necessarily a bad decision, but that was not really a factor when various special forces look to a firearm.

You will not go wrong with either pistol. Glocks have an outstanding reputation for reliability, they are ergonomically well thought out and reasonably accurate.

SIGs are very well engineered, reasonably tough and normally extremely accurate right out of the box. They are somewhat more technical in terms of operation and moving parts, but not much.

Price, and they way one or the other feels to an individual are what you really looking at.

Good luck

Patriot Self Defense system achieves success for two key factors. The first is that it use easy steps combined from all the very best battling designs available. The 2nd is that the makers of this program really did not stop there, they took these actions right into the laboratory and ran all form of scientific tests to accumulate as much data as feasible prior to setting to function to evaluate this information and created a clinical industrialized self-defense system that rather honestly revolutionizes the sector.

Answer 4

I'm not sure what you mean by 'Glock theory,' but the Glock is a fine handgun. Sure, its ugly, but who cares. One crackhead I arrested for (robbing an old man in wheelchair at gun point) complained to me after I cuffed him and put him in my backseat, "That is the biggest, baddest, ugliest, gun I have ever seen!" To which I replied, "Stop exaggerating, its only a .10mm (Glock Model 20)," and: "They do look big when you're staring at the wrong end, don't they!"

The Glock is user friendly, functional, reliable, high cap and accurate. It is available in a number of sizes and calibers from compact to duty size and from .9mm to .45 (ACP & GAP) to .10mm.

The only small disadvantage with the Glock is that it is a slightly wider bodied handgun than say the 1911, but this is easy to live with considering that it holds many more bullets than the excellent old 1911.

Answer 5

Because the majority of law enforcement in the the US (and other developed countries, perhaps?) has adopted the glock. It is the "everyman's" gun, whether we like it or not. By the way, Norwegian special forces use the glock and so does the Austrian military.

THe Marine Corps has stress Recon, and the Air stress too, has that's personal particular forces ! to assert that one unit is on a higher straight forward than yet another is something purely the Pentagon can answer. each and each is experienced for certain purposes, and some are diverse than others !

Answer 7

Because Glocks are boring!

You see them everywhere, They clog the holsters of cops world wide. Ugly black, shapeless pistols with no elan, no panache, they are just pistols.

There are over 2,500,000 glocks made and fielded!

They are sooooo! boring!!, no manual safeties, no de-cocking levers,
nothing cool to thumb, flick, switch, or change!

They just come out of the holster and go bang, and bang, and bang again.

Then you reload or put back in the holster>

Boring!

GLOCKS ARE POPULAR BECAUSE THEY WORK!!!!!

No mechanical device is infallable and glocks can fail. But they are rugged, reliable, and suprisingly accurate. Easy to use and safe.

Consistant trigger pull from shot to shot!

Inexpensive, Reliable, Accurate, Durable, Functional

Answer 8

Because people are sheep.
Glocks suck. The "safe-action-trigger", ...isn't. Double action revolvers and automatics have a long, relatively heavy trigger pull for the first shot that minimizes risk of an accidental discharge.
Glocks have a short 5.5lb pull on the first shot which increases the risk of an accidental discharge under tense circumstances.
The lack of a manual safety added to improper firearms discipline ie. placing the finger on the trigger before it is necessary to do so makes accidental fatalities common. An excellent example of this is the Florida DEA agent that shot himself in the leg in front of a classroom full of students.
The reason you see large firearms wholesalers selling so many used Glocks in shotgun news is that despite Glock's advertising to the contrary, many police departments have lost their enthuasiam for this mediocre and to-easily-discharged weapon.
The lack of a manual safety is simply asking for lawsuits.
P.S. the us military does not use Glocks.

Answer 9

Because Glocks are cheap an dthe gov. buys from the lowest bidder. The Military should never have given up the M1911
