These pistols are simple. Only two tools are required for most fixes. All you need is a pin punch and a knife. Then, you can sit down with one of the many how-to videos and modify your gun. If you don’t feel like doing your own work, a gunsmith can quickly fix your weapon. This brand is so popular that you never have to worry about finding a gunsmith. Plus, work tends to be cheaper on a Glock. 

They’re Interchangeable

Many of these pistols use the same frame, so you can easily buy a caliber conversion kit for yours. These may be harder to find on some of the newer models, but it is especially true for slightly older ones. You can also easily change to a different magazine for extra bullets. You can even get giant magazines that hold over 30 rounds for your Glock. One thing you can’t do is swap the slide from a standard caliber with one on a .45 ACP or 10 mm. However, there are aftermarket kits for this conversion. 

It’s Easy to Find Aftermarket Parts

In some cases, the aftermarket has more options than the original company. You can get aftermarket kits to change calibers anywhere. You can even find conversions to exotic calibers. Night sights are also readily available. Almost every major manufacturer makes a night sight for a Glock. You can also find parts in different materials if you don’t like the ones your gun comes with. Basically, every accessory imaginable is available for this brand. If it exists, they probably make it for a Glock. 

They’re Light

A typical Glock weighs 1.5 pounds when empty and 2 when loaded. Loaded with 17 bullets in the magazine. That’s less than most other brands unloaded. 

There are many more reasons you should buy a Glock. So go out today and get yourself one of the most convenient pistols on the market.
