Anyone who is thinking about purchasing a firearm needs to consider what type is best for their needs. Glocks are a popular choice because of their versatility, weight and size. Unlike larger, heavy firearms, nearly everyone can learn to correctly use a Glock regardless of their age or abilities.

1. Customization

Handguns can be customized to suit the style and personality of the user. Aftermarket parts such as Glock trigger upgrades, barrels and sights can be purchased to enhance the look and performance of the gun. They can also be ordered in different colors and styles as desired.

2. Weight

Glocks are constructed to be lightweight and easy to use. Anyone who has obtained the necessary permits to carry a concealed weapon should think about using a Glock. Anything that will be carried around for hours during the day should be as lightweight as possible to prevent the carrier from becoming tired or irritated. The low weight firearm enables people to practice longer without becoming fatigued. It is also a great option for people who are not strong enough to comfortably handle rifles or shotguns comfortably.

3. Size

Anyone who wants to legally carry a weapon on their person during their daily activities will likely believe that the size of the firearm is important. Glocks are small in size and can be concealed easily in a hip, thigh, ankle or chest holster. Many models can also fit inside of a purse if preferred. Storing a smaller gun can be easier as well, especially in homes where storage options are in short supply.

Deciding to purchase a gun is a big decision and should not be taken lightly. Consider all the options carefully to select one that is the right fit for its intended purpose. Go to a store or range to hold the firearm in person and ask questions before making a choice.
