>>Never cared for Glocks myself. They have the ergonomics of two 2”x2”s nailed together, at least in my hand. I far prefer the feel of a Beretta or CZ75 which seem to point themselves.

Glocks are something you have to force yourself to love for the first few months. Then, you wonder why you even bother with all the other guns out there.

I’ve shot Glocks for 30 years and love them, but I recently picked up a full-size S&W M&P 2.0 in 9mm and I think that Glock has finally met its match.

But, I heard a rumor from a guy who had to sign an NDA at an invitation-only Glock event that there is an entirely NEW Glock coming out. Not a Gen 6, but something altogether different.

Wasn’t Smith & Wesson sued by Glock for the M&P for copyright or trademark infringement? I think originally they were design identical. and I believe, that Smith & Wesson now pays Glock royalties for each sale. I don’t think there was a settlement I think the agreement was royalties and some back payment. So Glock by proxy license Smith & Wesson to produce Glocks design with Smith & Wesson stamp

"Glocks are something you have to force yourself to love for the first few months. Then, you wonder why you even bother with all the other guns out there."

I agree with the first part. I bought a slightly used Glock 27. And it isn't as bad as I thought it would be. It shoots anything I feed it (cheap ammo thus far). Doesn't point as bad I I thought. It can certainly shoot better than I do - as is true of most guns. Conceals OK, not great.

I bought it for carry while hiking in the desert. I wanted something that could make a big hole deep into a javelina or cougar, but lighter than my 686+ (or 29!). I think I could get to like it OK as a weapon.

But get to where I wouldn't care about a good revolver? I don't think so! Every revolver I own points better and has a vastly superior trigger.

And while I'm trying to work it into a carry role, I'm not sure what it offers against a humans that improves on my J-frame with thick rubber grip - which is about the same size grip as the Glock. More rounds? I suppose. But I'm not a cop. I'm no longer military. Not sure the extra rounds do much for me, other than tempt me to use a lot of rounds without a lot of care.

A revolver's curves are easier to hide, IMHO. And offer a better grip than the 27 model, at least:

I could see getting to where I valued the Glock as a weapon, but not to the point where I would "wonder why you even bother with all the other guns out there."
