I don't ... never have either (I do own two Steyrs which are similar but better).
Never been a huge fan of how they feel in my hands (of course I'd take a G29 if I found one at a great price).

Only one I've ever owned was a gen 3 G20... Not the SF...
I didn't mind that one, but figured I would build a 1911 in 10mm instead...
Other models feel like I'm throwing a brick instead of shooting...

I bought one back in 93. Sold it in 94....
Never owned one. Never fired one. Never even held one.

Don't own none. Shot an early .45 model and decided I'd never buy one.

I've never owned one. Maybe one of these days, but I like my M&Ps

I reluctantly rejoined the Glock owner's club last month after a 9-year absence. Out of necessity, not choice.

Shot em, don't like em. They just don't fit my hand properly, so I don't own one either.
I don't, either. I don't like the way they feel in my hands.

Not my favorite gun, that's for sure. However, they shoot well, they're relatively inexpensive for a high-quality, durable and reliable gun. Parts are easy to find and drop right in. Everyone (almost) wants one so they're easy to sell. I have to admit I've owned several (maybe 20) over the years and only one was even remotely problematic. I own 5 now, 4 of them are Gen 2s...my favorite because I can't stand the finger grooves on later ones. Also have a Gen4 G21 and it's the most accurate Glock I've ever seen.
Bottom line? I think you could spend more money and not get as much gun. There's a lot to like about them but to me they're strictly utilitarian and I've never been really attached to one. They really don't have a soul...unlike a nice 1911 or an old S&W revolver.

My agency issued me a Glock and i tried to like it. I couldn't and got permission to carry my Sig. I bought a 27 as a backup for a short time, but got rid of it. Not a fan.
I don't own one, never will either.
I've got a gen 3 Glock 27 and I love it. It's extremely accurate and goes bang every time I pull the trigger. Of all the handguns I've ever owned it is one of my favorites to shoot. I had a Springfield XD 45 and didn't care for it much, I also have a Smith & Wesson M&P Professional series in 9mm and I like the Glock better. I'm going to pick up a Glock 26 and Glock 19 when the panic dies down.

Have a 22 RTF and a 29 SF. Love them both. Wife had a gen4 26 I liked it as well. Still want a 1911 for carry and a Delta Elite in 10mm. Glocks are reliable, lots of aftermarket support and cheap.

Never owned one either. I have been a CZ freak since I first picked up an 85 combat.

So Glocks are the gingers of the pistol world. Got it! [LOL]
I had a S&W SW40VE, it was a decent gun and mostly reliable. Bought a Glock 23 and LOVED it (still have it). Bought a police trade in Gen 2 G22 and love it too, but had to sell it for financial reasons, ended up making $50 out of that. Bought a Ruger LCP (still have it) and it was problematic from the first trigger pull. I've done some work to it to make it reliable (upgraded recoil spring, polished the feed ramp and rounded off some very sharp corners on the feed ramp to chamber that caused the case to hang up on, also cleaned out the extractor of factory lube crap).
My Glock 23 goes bang every time I pull the trigger, it always ejects and never fails, and its been that way from the factory at round 1. Its relatively accurate with the factory trigger and eats all sorts of ammo. There are still a few glocks on my purchase list.
eta: Forgot to add that the Glock frame (G23 size) fits my hands PERFECTLY! Its seriously like they designed the Glock for my specific hand size, because everything is easy to operate, and if I close my eyes and point at a target, when I open my eyes, the sights are perfectly lined up on target.

I have several Glocks. The only caliber I haven't owned is a .45 ACP.

I dont have one either. I have a... actually I don't have that one either. All my guns fell in the water during a tragic boating accident.
I dont they are ugly. Just like my dog after my wife gives him a hair cut, Like she did tonight

This.
Also when I was looking at my first pistol in .357sig, saw to many images and posts of KB in that cal Glock.
Sig's for carry, 1911 for love and affection.

Burt you took the words out of my mouth. Strictly utilitarian! Tactical Tuperware. Great truck gun, because they are soulless. They are also great trade fodder.

I've shot a few and decided I hate the grip.
So I joined the "I Hate Glocks" bandwagon for fun. :D

I was a smith and wesson fan boy for all the time I owned pistols. I wanted to get a 10mm and bought the glock 20 full size. I conceal carry that baby and I love it. I tell you what if you ever get a glock chucked at your head, you're going the fvck to sleep.

I'm old and like the feel of metal and wood, prefer S&W revolvers but have semiautos as well. I have had 2 Glocks but traded them off, just did not suit me. Neither did the XD but the M&P feels pretty good to me so far so it might be a keeper, we'll see later on this year.

See thats funny, because I've shot several XD's and decided I hate that grip. That is until I shot a 4.5" SA XDm in .45ACP, for some reason, that thing made me fall in love. If I ever decided to get a .45ACP pistol, I think that would be it. For some reason, the regular XDs just feel weird to me, but I've never had the opportunity to grope both side by side.
I don't like Glocks but I find that I shoot them better than any other handgun design I have tried so I'll probably always have one in the safe.
I don't but that's probably going to change with the gen 4 20's.
I hate Glock, prefer a pile of shit, just 1 time had one in my hands and trade it for a chicken bake of Costco.

I picked up a G19 in a trade, it shoots, not any better than anything else I already own. It's got a gritty trigger on it compared to my Sig P228 and the XDm. So I'm not impressed. My 2 cents.
I've taken several new shooters to the range this past year, they always want to "Shoot a GLOCK!" like it's some super natural godly thing to do. Meh. whateva.

Exactly. They're good guns, reliable. You could do far worse. I've just never cared for the feel of em. Give me a SIG or 1911 any day. But, we carry em at my work now, and I didn't want to go back and forth between it and a 1911, so I sucked it up and bought one.

No Glocks ever. SA guy with both XD and XDm. I handled a lot of guns and bought the one that fit my hand best. I also have a 1911 .38 Super that is a great gun.
Yes I have a couple "of some sort".
I had a 21 for a couple of years. I have only have gotten rid of four guns in my life. The last one I got rid of was a Glock 21. I couldn't empty a mag without jacking up my wrist. It just didn't fit me.
I do have a Model 78 and a Model 81. They are some of the best money I have ever spent. I love them. I'm surprised more people don't carry them.

I was a glock hater until I was issued one. Now after having one on my hip everyday (g23) i have grown to appreciate them and have bought one of my own (g19).

No Glocks here, the finger grooves don't fit my hands. The M&P is my choice, they were built specifically to beat the Glock in every way. I have 4.
I've never owned one. Maybe one of these days, but I like my M&Ps
I had an early 45 acp, but did not care for it. I much prefer my M&P 45.

I don't mind Glocks. I had the G36 single stack .45 for cc when I was a cop. Sold it to another officer when I moved overseas. I carried a H&K Stainless Steel USP .45 as my duty weapon. Still have that one and a Springfield Armory 1911 TRP. I shot the G21 several times at the range, it doesn't win any beauty pageants, but it goes bang when you pull the trigger. I wouldn't hesitate to buy a Glock in the future. Never shot the XD or M&P. Personally, I think the S&W M&P is uglier than a Glock, but all the tupperware guns are ugly (except my USP) when compared to a nice 1911.
My G22 was my first pistol... I still love it, but love my Sig much more. This is the only other Glock I could ever want:
http://www.frontlinetac.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/SAI-630x350.jpg
I keep my 19 around because I like it better than any of the other plastic guns I've shot and the ladies and new shooters really take a liking to it, but it's not my favorite gun.
Over the years I've had a G17 and two compacts, the G19 and 23.
None of those ever fit well enough to make it my primary go-to.
Then I held a sub-compact, G27 (baby Glock).
Perfection ? . . . well, almost.
I've never looked back.
