I have only 20 rounds through this gun and I hate it.😣 Maybe someone else will like it. Someone else did.

List your ammo ?
What is the issue with it? It is not a 1911 but they are 100% reliable. If the trigger is the issue a Johnny Glock trigger will fix that right up.
Its a Glock. Don
Indeed it is but they are awesome guns that go bang when the trigger is pulled as long as there is a round in the chamber. I know many Glock haters, that is fine. It is they why they hate them that makes me curious.
I've been shooting them since they first hit the street in 86. G 20, 10 years later. You'll get use to it. Has been more reliable than my 1911's.
Might rethink getting rid of it. The way things are going with Biden and his socialist comrades. It might triple in value 6 months from now.
Shortly after we got married I took my wife to the LGS to buy her first gun. She really liked the Sig Sauer 226, but I talked her into the Glock 19 instead because I thought it might be necessary to have one in the collection.
We went shooting. She could not get it to fire more than three times in a row before a failure to fire. The good thing was that it helped her with her immediate action drills (once I explained what those were). I assumed she was doing something wrong, so I started shooting it. Hmmmm . . . what is wrong with this thing? Ammunition (it doesn't like my reloads that all of my other 9mm shoot)? Nope, factory ammunition won't solve the problem. It simply will not fire more than maybe three rounds before a failure to fire. It did (does?) have an acceptable primer strike, but no fire. I sent it off to a Glock certified repair center. "Could not duplicate the problem." (Wanna come shooting with me and show me what I am doing wrong?)
The 19 got moved to the back of the safe. I have purchased a 26 since then. It works the way it should. She finally got her 226.
The 19 is still in the back of the safe.
Its in time out.
Perfection!
What will you take for your crappy 19??
Glock is the undisputed ugliest handgun ever made. Good luck selling it.

Never seen a Highpoint, eh?
What is it that you're not liking?
Does it not feed and shoot reliably or is it just the esthetics?
In most gun shops Glock is by far the best selling handgun. They sell themselves. I can spend ten minutes with most anyone and have them running a G19 well enough to effectively put rounds on target.
I don't like those grip tape products....in the 10mm it would detract from shooting experience.....To each his own...I am sure it will sell...that would make a great hunting pistol !!!! Good luck
It will sell at that price, in these times.
It’s Ok... it’s something a 1911 guy will just not understand
Bought my first 10mm ammo locally from a man that had the exact gun. He ran some ammo thru it that was a little too hot.. no chamber support. Know what your gun is capable of.
Glocks are good in G17 and G19.....................only Glock 10mm that I have shot was the long slide variant..............my 16 yo daughter thought that was the bees knees..............maybe the problem is putting 10mm in a compact package?
First off I am a revolver and 1911 guy. I have arthritis at the last joint of my trigger finger and cannot fit my finger in the trigger guard enough to position the center of the pad on the trigger. I am pulling the trigger with the last quarter inch of my finger. I am sure there are some Brat fingered guys out there with the same problem.
That said, the gun is accurate with irons. This was to be my first optic equipped gun, but that is not going to happen. If I could eliminate the trigger guard or enlarge it a lot more it would not be an issue.
glocks and iphones have a lot in common... they both are taughted as the best, have a cult following, you love them or hate them, and they ugly but reliable. Just about everyone has one cause they as common as a penny on the ground.
I've always said of both, if they were, "pure perfection" why is the phone on its 12th version and a glock on its 5th? You cant perfect perfection.... right? Why don't glock make their triggers, and all the other internals, as good as the after market items everyone buys to put on them after they bought the perfection??
Sold for $750!
Wow
Told ya.
B17-P51....I am happy to see your G20 sold...I have sold a pistol or two that really did not fit my hands. I hope you find a usable replacement !!!
I have 3 G19's...............one gen four and two gen fives..........I like them.
I find I don't care the 45 / 10mm Glocks. Just too chunky in my hands.
I like the 19/26 size ones more.
I wanted another 10mm and picked up a Springfield XDM 4.5 in 10mm. Feels way better in my hands.
My old model 21 was cut down years ago by Robby Barkman. The grip is much smaller than stock.
Well I cured most of my problems with owning a 10mm that I can shoot well. Got an EAA tanfoglio witness hunter. 6" bbl, great sights and very accurate with irons. I have to get a functioning problem fixed but other than that I have no issues with fit or trigger finger issues, as this pistol was designed to fire even when the user is wearing gloves.
Have not yet added an optic but this one is a keeper so far.😀
stupid glocks
$200.00 for a Johnny Glock trigger! I'm not into the Glock pro/anti argument but that's a heck of an expensive upgrade. Do any of we forum members have one? If so, your thoughts.
That is a great piece.
