You need to get this Glock bug out of your ass and experience other pistols. The world doesn't revolve around this weapon. If 1911's are so bad, how come they've been in service for over 60 years? Maybe they do something right? :\bhnrecon wrote:

"Plastic pistol" myths
Contrary to early reports, Glock pistols do set off metal detectors and can indeed be detected by X-ray machines, due to their metal barrels and slides. The claim that they could not was first made in an article published in the Washington Post on January 13, 1985, entitled, "Quaddafi Buying Austrian Plastic Pistol." In this article, vocal gun control advocate Jack Anderson made the allegations, which were then reported without fact-checking by the Associated Press and further reported by many United States television news stations and newspapers. It has since become an urban legend that to this day continues to appear in news reports and movies, and has even been a topic of debate in the United States Congress.
In fact, 83.7% (by weight) of the Glock pistol is normal ordnance steel and the "plastic" parts are a dense polymer known as 'Polymer 2' which is radio-opaque and is therefore visible to X-ray security equipment. In addition, virtually all of these "plastic" parts contain embedded steel to make them functional and shoot better, not to make them "detectable". Contrary to popular movies like Die Hard 2: Die Harder neither Glock nor any other gun maker has ever produced a "ceramic" or "plastic" firearm which is undetectable by ordinary security screening devices.
In Die Hard 2, the character John McClane portrayed by Bruce Willis specifically referred to a non-existent Glock 7 with many fictitious characteristics:
That punk pulled a Glock 7 on me! You know what that is? It's a porcelain gun made in Germany. It doesn't show up on your airport X-ray machines, and it costs more than you make here in a month!
Furthermore, if a pistol completely undetectable by either X-ray machines or metal detectors were to be developed, the ammunition inside would still be detectable.
Mike Papac, an armorer at Cinema Weaponry, which supplied the Glock pistols used in Die Hard 2, has stated, "I remember when we did that scene, I tried to talk them out of it. There's no such thing as a gun invisible to metal detectors, and there shouldn't be, but they wouldn't budge. They had it written into the script and that was that.".[7]
While some Glock fans have boasted that the Glock pistol design was the first pistol to incorporate a plastic frame, this is incorrect. Heckler & Koch was the first company to use polymer for their VP70 pistol frame in 1970. HK's innovation of polymer frames and polygonal rifling seem to have been influential in the Glock design. Still earlier, Remington introduced their polymer-framed Nylon 66 Rifle in 1959. This was so revolutionary at the time that Remington dyed the plastic brown to resemble wood and fitted a cosmetic sheet-metal cover on the receiver to make it appear to be made from steel. Further, the most extensive use of polymers in a pistol was in the Ram-Line Exactor pistol with a barrel made from steel-lined plastic.
However, the popularity of Glock pistols seems to have encouraged other manufacturers to begin production of similar polymer-framed products in recent years, such as the Springfield XD pistols.

He's got a shitload of other pistols, the glock just happens to be his favorite. Glocks will probably be around as long as 1911's have because they are both quality weapons you dumbass.bubbass wrote:

You're kidding, right? A Glock firing under water? I know I'm being skeptical without any justifications of my views here, but unless it's a highly specialized Glock that was designed to be used underwater, I highly doubt that they do shoot underwater.Scardaddy wrote:
the Glock fires underwater and you can get a full plastic version that is undetectable in a standard metal detector, thats the one for me, not to mention the add on silencer and laser dot by the trigger, one of the best things Germany has ever given to the world, and the bananah clip and the semi auto, great gun, but I love the desert eagle too man that thing will put a window in a door free of charge...bang bang

Always able to admit when I am wrong. Yes, there is a bit more metal in there. I did not mean to imply that that was the only metal in the firearm, but perhaps I did not make myself clear. I hate posting in a hurry. Yes, the glock is mostly metal, if judged by mass, as the metal has a lot more mass than the polymer. By volume as well, since the slide is more 'solid' than the frame.bhnrecon wrote:
If you think that there are only 4 metal pins that contact the metal frame, you really need to take a good look at your weapons. inspect the frame at the front of the weapon, you will see that the serial # piece is metal, however, that is not what i am pointing out... if you take a good look to the rear of the serial # your will see that the area under the over-travel stop block is metal.... if you are brave enough you can remove this with the glock armor tool. you will enjoy the fact that your glock is greater then 80 to 85% metal. loot it up.... you don't have to trust me..... i just work on my glocks on the armor's level myself.

It's just there so we know how many votes shouldn't count in the poll (If it wasn't there, they may have voted incorrectly again and screwed up the poll).InfectiousShadow wrote:

Whoa, calm down there Missy. I didn't mean to insult your boyfriend there. Just because a Glock is ones' favorite pistol doesn't make it the greatest of all time. Why don't you read a little background info on each pistol you posted in the poll, then read some more about every pistol out there, THEN make an educated poll about it. Just because you copy and paste from Wiki doesn't make it right. Have you ever fired any of the hand guns listed? So, go back to being a retired BF2s member, please.Cougar wrote:

Dave does some great work. I sent him my 1911 for some custom work and it is beautiful. That gun is such a blast to shoot plus it looks great. This is of course multiplied beyond how mush fun the gun was in its Mil-Spec form.Volatile_Squirrel wrote:

I give the colt 1911 first place prize due to it's long history, and the fact that it is still wildly popular.
The Glock comes in a close second. One would be ignorant to ignore the impact that this gem has had on modern pistols. Many firearm manufacturers are coming out with their own glock clones(wouldn't have my Springfield XD40 without glock) due to the ever constantly rising popularity of glock pistols, with their easy to maintain and extremely durable parts.
Would own a glock myself if it wasn't for that odd grip frame.
