Why Glock? Why 9mm?

[Jer]

Being a 23 year Army puke and an 18A, I spent a lot of quality time with a variety of weapons and calibers. I actually loathed the 1911 for many years as most of the Army's stock were mismatched parts from a variety of manufacturers. I actually had a broken firing pin eject and nick my face.

I currently own 3 9mm pistols and love them for their accuracy. Two of them are Taurus PT92 AFS models and a Ruger P95. I used to own the Beretta 92F, probably should have kept it too. But the Taurus pistol are A) very very accurate and B) built a heck of a lot better than the Beretta and lastly C) with well over 5000 rds. down the pipe, NEVER a misfeed, FTF or jam.

The Ruger I bought for my 11 year son. It fits his hand nicely and he's pretty much convinced me he can put a round wherever he wants out to about 20 yds. He can double-tap it, and do excellent rapid-fire drills. Which is not the story with my EAAA Witness in S&W .40.

I concur that it is all about shot placement, especially in a tactical situation. If you can put a .22 in the right place, you can do damage.

My neighbor has a Taurus that shoots 4' low at 20' plus I've had bad luck with their firearms in the past with feeding issues. I think I'll stick with Glock which is what this thread is about. Let's keep it that way.
