I know that they are not a thing of beauty like a Kimber, but I love Glocks. I have never seen any other gun as reliable, it NEVER misfires. I go to the range with a detective friend of mine (nothing like free range time, makes up for the cost of .45 GAP ammo), and his SIG Sauer and Walther misfires about 1 in 20. It takes a little getting used to the kick with the light compsoite frame, but if that bothers you you could go with the vented barrel version. Here is my personal carry version:
"Glock Perfection"
The tip that I got when I bought it was to only use full metal jackets for the first hundred rounds, then try hollow points. It go bang real good!
