In the United States of America, anything that can go full auto without modification is automatically LE/Military only.
But what about the other one.

Oh.Originally posted by SpecOps87:Auto versions are Glock 18 and Glock 26.Fires at 1100 rpm.
So Glock has a special select fire version of the 26?
Really. Can you tell me where you got this information from?

Thank you for your second bilirubin-coloured post.Originally posted by chunyong:compensate means if the gun jams, u can get a compensation. u pay more for 'compensated' version of glock.
If the gun jams while your in action, you get compensated by getting shot. -
THANKS !!Originally posted by Johnston:Thank you for your second bilirubin-coloured post.

The compensated version has an extended extension from the barrel.

You've been in too many IPSC matches , now.Originally posted by SpecOps87:The compensated version has an extended extension from the barrel.
All the compensated versions of Glock do not have any barrel extensions A la IPSC open class pistols. -

I'm referring to real world situations, either law enforcement, military, street shootings, etc.
-
Yes.Originally posted by chunyong:i prefer my trusty S&W .38 Spl, 5 rds then quickly reload....dats the best.
It's very good.
So good, in fact, that you hardly ever see a police department anywhere in the continental united states issue revolvers anymore.
Really. Really. Really good.
So..... you can have your revolver.
Your criminal has a Glock 19, with a post-ban 10 round magazine.
How fast can he reload, compared to you.
Hmm. -
oic... i have given up the g17 and start usingOriginally posted by John Ching:I'm referring to real world situations, either law enforcement, military, street shootings, etc.

Here's a good answer.
At last count, multiple police departments in the US of A issue Glocks.
Among which, California, New York, Alaska, and a couple more.
Higher north, Canadian police departments also issue it.
Additionally, Glock is very popular among aficionados of IDPA, because every last Glock shoots great out of the box, and is just right for IDPA's SSP matches.
In the region, Malaysia issues Glocks.
Singapore itself also uses Glocks for certain police officers, among which, the STAR team.
Are the above examples more than sufficient?
If not, the original Glock was produced in response to an Austrian Army/Police demand for a reliable pistol. -
Its true, almost all U.S law enforcement agencies are using Glock.
But not many of them would live by it.
Thats why they still carry a snub-nose .38 special or any other preferred weapon as back up.
USP compact is a good hand gun but the replacement parts are expensive like most European weapons.
U.S Navy SEALs also used the varity of USPs but have preferred to hold on to their SIGs P226 & above. I'm not sure why? Haven't had the chance to ask em.
The Green Berets prefer the trusted Beretta 92 series.
U.S Sheriffs are carrying revolvers.
Browning is also a popular gun among U.S law enforcers but the spare parts are hard to get this days.
But my question is which gun would you prefer to use in a fire fight? -
BTW. U.S SWAT officers wouldn't use Glock.
Its not the gun that decide how good a shot is but rather the shooter who can shoot. -
No, really.Originally posted by John Ching:U.S Navy SEALs also used the varity of USPs but have preferred to hold on to their SIGs P226 & above. I'm not sure why? Haven't had the chance to ask em.

The Beretta that famously almost put a SEAL out for the count?
The "slide incident".
I will like to know where you get your opinion of US Army personnel actually loving the M9.
And specifically, which SOCOM unit do you speak of? Green Berets?
1st Green Berets Bn?
Oh yes, they loved the Beretta 92 so much the first chance they could, they asked for a .45 firearm. Both SOCOM, and the USMC.
*chuckle*
Browning?
Hard to get? You speak of the High-Power, dont you?
Last i looked,Fabrique Nationale USA came out with a newer mark of the HP.
In 2002.
*snicker*
Yes, revolvers are so good, and hot, and nice and lovely to shoot, i don't know why there hasn't been a single article/study/paper anywhere recommending revolvers over pistols for self defense, or service usage.
*might be, i'd have to check again*
Again, you must remember all my statements are made with an American slant.
The land of the free (hold the ammo).
I can be bothered more about the other countries.
