Trust me, they are not carried by LEO because they rock. They are good guns, but most LE departments went to them because they were _easy_ to use and figure out. A lot of LEO are not "gun people," and the more pieces it takes to break down, the more safety levers, DA to SA, etc. just confuses them. Look at what HK and Sig did: They followed Glocks lead with some models....every trigger pull is the same.

I'm torn between my first gun being a Glock 23, or a USP 40 Compact. I hear so many great things about Glock, and I agree they're probably amazing... but for a first-timer, I feel like the USP just has more of an appealing look and feel to it =/

Actually, CZ claims to have the most handguns in use around the world, period. Specifically, the CZ 75.

In the US, Glock has the marketshare it has with LEOs because of the support services they offer with their handguns, and because they often offered to let departments trade in older guns for the new, shiny Glock.

It's all in the marketing.

Bet you guys didn't know that? Did you? Heckler & Koch VP70 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I did, actually. But that's because I used to browse random Wikipedia articles at work for considerable lengths of time.

yup, we all knew. The anti's will say that we think Glock was the first polymer, but we never make that claim.

I like the M&P's too, even though the recalls aren't helping any.

I thought you were a Sig guy?

well first and foremost yes but variety being the spice of life-and a 2.5# comp trigger job. what recall are you refering to?

I figured that was it. no matter to me I'm going 9mm in fullsize with trigger work being done so I feel safe.

Well that is a step in the right direction.
