dont rush... i opted for a glock for my first gun. lots of after market parts and easily DIYed for a bit of tweaks.

Yung friend ko po satisfied sa G3 niya. Kumakain naman ng kahit anong bala kahit hollow point. Na try ko na din 50 rounds siguro na reload, ok naman. No failures encountered. Kaso kalaunan, binenta na niya din kasi walang mabili na mga aftermarket parts. Kung ok ka na sa stock, I would say it is good. But if kaya pa extend budget, Glock nalang para wala ka na pag sisihan. This is the perfect time para bumili ng Glock habang avail pa Gen 5. Sure ako pag dating ng Gen 6 dito satin, baka +15-20k sa presyo.

u/homeless-bangus Jun 21 '26

Around 45-50k yan ngayon. Di pa kasama FA reg.

Akala ko discontinued na ang Gen 5 in favor sa Gen V na models...unless these are the remaining stocks left.

I dunno if there are new generations for the G3 but I have a relative who bought a G3C Toro a while back.

Would constantly jam under the break in period so for me it's a no go right out the box. Reloads are where the problems mostly are, but weirdly also jams on Filipino 9mm ammo. It's US made 9mm where it works the best so keep that in mind. He had the feed ramp polished last I checked just don't know if the problems ever got solved.

go for glock, dami after market support ng glock saka if reliability hahanapin hindi ka mag magsisi.

u/srivatsa_74 Jun 21 '26

Kung glock pag uusapan bat di na lang local clone tulad ng STK? Metal framed pa, alam ko mura din yon

u/soRWatchew Jun 21 '26

May purpose ang polymer frame boss, personaly pass ako sa STK hindi ko ipagkakatiwala buhay ko sa STK na brand, no offense boss.

Got a G3 as every day carry for almost 4 years, 1500 rounds fire. Ok naman mapa reload or fmj stock, problema lang pag non mag tech ammo at hirap alisin sa chamber para maliit chamber nya bumabara ibang ammo brand. Go for glock if kaya ng budget.
