Well you just said, "more reliable than any other major brand". So you agree? Confirm or deny?

Perhaps you should re-read what I wrote here one more time. "It is no more reliable than any other major brand". If your going to quote something try getting it right. Leaving three words out of a quote is "Cherry Picking", especially when those three words change the entire meaning of the sentence.Comment

I know a few retired cops. Most still carry Glocks.
Even though a lot of older guys have 1911's, Sigs, H&K's, S&W, etc.
They carry Glocks.
I think the light weight, simplicity/dependability and capacity have as much to do with it as anything. And yes, in the early 90's Glocks were being issued over Sigs and HK's due to price. For many orgs it replaced wheel guns. Smith's were issued a bit but in the end faded out.
Feds got 226's & 229's. A few 228's. Now a lot of them have gone to Glocks. But I think they still have higer end options.Last edited by MCM; 12-23-2014, 10:08 AM.

There's been a lot more than 3 threads about issues with Glocks recently. In fact they have issues all the time. Can't say the same about HK. HK just runs.Oppressors can tyrannize only when they achieve a standing army, an enslaved press, and a disarmed populace. -- James Madison
The Constitution shall never be construed to authorize Congress to prevent the people of the United States, who are peaceable citizens, from keeping their own arms. -- Samuel Adams, Debates and Proceedings in the Convention of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, 86-87 (Pearce and Hale, eds., Boston, 1850)Comment

Fixed that for you.I fed my Glock 17 gen 2 a steady diet of crap for over 20 years. It never fails, unlike the ammo. It is still solid, comfortable and accurate. Not as accurate as my P226, but it's reliability is truly legendary. I got a gen 4 G17 and that is a nice gun. Enjoy the improvements. Very close to the P226 in groupings. For the price, you get an ugly reliable pistol that always goes bang. Light weight and holds enough rounds, I CCW my 17 along with my G26 and G30s, yes I like Glocks. I also like Sig, Colt and HK. I carry Glock. My P226 MK25 is just too heavy.
Guns are like cars. 426 hemi vs 428 cobra jet vs 427 Yenko. Hemi always loses! The same old argument..."taste great...no less filling"..bla..bla..bla...shoot what you like. That being said..why does the FBI issue G23 and G19s to new agents (to the glock haters)?
428 Cobra Jet FTWComment
