View Full Version : Need A Good Reason To Purchase a 36

Purchased a 21SF and 30SF in the past four months. Dunno if I've just been hanging out in GT too long, but I have an urge to pick up a 36. Can't come up with a good reason, other than I'd like to complete the "set". Don't have a wife to nag me about spending the money, only a conscience that I have to deal with. Just can't come up with a responsible answer to why I should get one. :dunno:

Because it is a Glock. Duh! :upeyes: Well, that one always works on me. :supergrin:

Numerous threads in General Glocking and the G-36 Club forum on this topic in the past week or two...

What would be a "good reason" to NOT buy a G-36?
Mine is one of my most valued possessions, and has always functioned 100% with any and all ammo. I'd never part with it.

Because it uses the same size holsters as a 19 and if you don't already have a 19 it gives you an excuse to buy one. :supergrin:

Well....thanks for making me feel like an antique. I thought you were talking about the S&W Model 36 Chief's Special.

People seem to either love 'em or hate 'em.
Some cite the 6-round mag capacity as a reason to pass them by...
I'd rather have a 6-round Glock than a 6-shot revolver.
Popping a new mag in is much faster (for me anyway) than using a speed-loader.

Also, the Pearce +1 mag extensions have worked fine for me.
I've come to pretty-much prefer the 6-round mag as it comes from the factory, but it's nice to have the choice.

I've got two, they are without question the best concealed carry gun on the planet, small, light and hard hitting

Because you want one! No other reason or guilty feeling is necessary.

I have the G36 and have never regretted purchasing it. I am now looking the other way though for the 30 or 30SF. I think you will really like the 36. It is easy to conceal, reliable, as you know, to shoot and very accurate.

Buy a G17! 9mm ammo is cheap and you'll enjoy it for sure.

Reload if ammo prices chap your *****.
I love my 36. You will forget you are even carrying it with a good holster.
I wish they made a single stack slim 10mm. I guess I can always dream.

That's pretty much it for a single guy.

Us married guys have a bit more difficulty with the justification thing.

Just because you don't have it a you want it, although I would drop the number just 1 to a Glock 35. WAY more fun!!!! Really get it if you want it and don't let a woman talk you out of it.

Done deal...getting the 36. Now Nate has me considering a 35, too. Thanks, Nate...NOT !!!:brickwall:

Perfect reason to get a Glock you considering, because you don't have that model yet! :supergrin:

Because RevDerb got one recently and he assures you that you will fall in love all over again. The 36 absolutely rocks.

For what it's worth, I intend to buy a second G-36 also...
just waiting on a good deal to pop up.


Do I NEED a 2nd G-36? Probably not. Thing is, I value it so highly I want to ensure that I'll ALWAYS have one on hand.

Instead of a G36, buy a 10mm conversion barrel for your G21SF and G30 and with the left over money a couple of 10mm mags and the rest as ammo.

I am 64 years old and I couldn't sit in a chair and list all the guns I've carried. But one thing I DO know for sure is that the best one I have EVER carried is my G-36. It is the most dependable, most accurate, most concealable (except for my little P-32 but we won't count that LOL!) and most comfortable gun I've ever carried. I was carrying a G-23 when I bought this 36 a couple of years ago and even though I had NO problems with the 23 it immediately go busted down to 2nd place. I love my G-36

How about because you are addicted to Glocks?

I think the title of the thread is misleading, as you don't need a good reason to get a G36!

You need to get one because it is the best damned carry gun out there...period

Because John Connor (writer for Guns Magazine carries one). :) Here's a sample column: http://www.gunsmagazine.com/Odd0508.html

He's one of the few reasons to ever buy a gun magazine (he and Mr. Ayoob).
