Oh man, guy got me twice, 1911's and S&W revolver's

I think I'll go pout now..
I figured out a long time ago, that if it's mechanical, electric, or made out of any known types of matter, it's junk.. If not now, it will be someday.

Thems fightin' words.
Utterly blasphemous!

You can make fun of a guys car, his wife or his kids. You can make fun of his heritage, his church or his government. Just don't insult his Football team or his guns.

Don't forget about his dog...That ranks right up there above the wife, kids and even his car...

"Glock: Butt-ugly plastic shooting appliance with the ergonomics of a caulking gun. Five-pound trigger with no external safety makes it ill-suited for its target market (cops who shoot a hundred rounds a year for qualification). Favored by gangbangers because the product name is short and rhymes with other short, rap-friendly words."
It was funny and I agree, Glocks are ugly. I don't like them one bit but, they work. Still, it's obvious the original author of the blog from which this came hasn't been paying attention to the police market for at least 15 years. Not only are Glocks and other guns with passive safeties well suited to law enforcement, they are preferred! DA/SA is on it's way out. No body ever liked the flat revolver we had with DAO models and police chiefs are deathly afraid of Colt/Browning system guns with "single-action" triggers. So the self-decocking guns like the Glocks have continued to gain market share.
Let's think about what's come along since the Glock and how the LE market as well as the civilian market is moving. There's HK's LEM trigger developed for the USP and now found standard in the P2000, P30 and HK45. There is the Smith and Wesson M&P. SigSauer's "K" trigger found in their DAK models is pretty popular. Oh and I completely forgot Kahr Arms with no manual safety to be seen on any of their original product line. Yep, all those guns are ill-suited for their target market.

On the contrary; purchase orders, the number of cops on the street carrying these models and the constant introduction of new models would seem to indicate cops can't seem to buy enough of them.
