Yes??? What do you think a glock is, just out of curiosity? It's a completely boring handgun.
Semi-automatic doesn't mean what you think it does. Basically all modern guns are semi-automatic. It's a broad classification.
- MartinCron 14y agoIt's a completely boring handgun This illustrates an interesting cultural divide. Many people don't have any real experience or understanding of guns, and let half-truths from pop-culture drive their emotional response.
- bambax 14y ago> It's a completely boring handgun That's the point. "Boring" means failsafe: good for the shooter, not so good for the victims. A gun that would threaten to explode in the face of the shooter every other round, or that would make it almost impossible to hit the target, would be completely non-boring. It would also make it a poor choice to carry on a mass-shooting. The Glock is the Mercedes of guns.
- evan_ 14y agoHm, I'm afraid I don't totally understand your point. Why shouldn't a recreational shooter want reliability?
