To be honest, I don't know why Glock has the following that it does. It's a good gun, but it's not the holy grail of firearms that many hold them up as. I own them because I want a cheap, reliable gun in my collection of EDC weapons. I want something that I can take in places that tend to screw up the finish on a gun and not have to worry about it. I've actually had more issues with my Glocks than with 10 1911s I've owned, but once they are broken in, they work reliably.
Why buy a Glock? They can be bought cheap and sold for near the same money spent. They can be easier on furniture and car seats due to grip profiles and a lack of leather shredding checkering on the MSH. When I'm lying on my side, under a car in heavy gravel at a junk yard, with the pistol being ground into the rocks as I wrestle a part off of a car, a Glock makes a better companion than a 1911, no matter what 1911 it is.
but all that hyperbole just wears everybody down and then when something does go wrong with their favorite brand everybody in turn dog piles and makes it even worse! LOL
......If'y.......but they a well made piece.......
