Couldnt have said it better myself. I will however add that if you were limited to one, you would probably want one with the highest chance of finding ammo, another plus for the 9mm. If nato uses it ammo is always plentiful. Its not my favorite round, but .40s&w might get hard to find at some point, at least harder than 9mm. And Ive never seen a glock EVER (ive owned at least 50 of em) that didnt shoot every time |

Re: Only one Semi-auto
For the 1911 guys, Im not trying to be argumentative but heres why not a 1911.
There are hundreds of manufacturers of that gun from Norinco to Wilson Combat, none of them have drop in interchangeable parts. 1911s are very very very parts finicky (due to the many many variations and customizations), you have to fit every single part, and some parts cant work with some 1911s, even if they are the same size. An example would be the sear/trigger return spring. If the spring doesnt have the correct (either way, too much or not enough) tension, then your gun doesnt work. You cant just buy that spring and put it in, in most cases.
But a glock 17 part is a glock 17 part is a glock 17 part, doesnt matter who makes it. They are all compatible and completely plug and play. And if you can put an alternator in your car you can fix a glock

Re: Only one Semi-auto
In spite of the above posting, I have to stay with the 1911, chambered in either .45 or 10 m/m. Either would make for a very comfortable companion.

Re: Only one Semi-auto
Sig 220 .45. Feels good, very accurate, and shoots every time.

Geez, it's a wonder how all those 1911s made it through wars and decades of military service.

What part(s) did you have issues with? If it was an OEM Glock part, it should be drop in and go.
After market stuff? That's another story. |
