I don't have a Glock or want one. There are so many models and generations, I need a spreadsheet to figure them out. Trust me, I don't wanna know. They are more prolific than cockroaches and every mail order company has a crapload of doodads, accessories, sights, triggers, barrels, mags and dress up items. They kinda crowd out the other makers.
I don't buy the Glock Perfection schtick either, but if you really want to own one, go for it.
My 5 cents after adjusting for inflation.

"Top 6 reasons why people are getting rid of Glocks -
Interesting points - watch video for more elaboration.
1. No Innovation.
A. One of the major attractions for Glock owners is the fact that they don't just drop a series or model and move on to something new. I love the fact that a gen three mag will work in almost everything else. Most of the sights are interchangeable and so on. It is enough for me to not buy something when you know that there isn't going to be support for it in the future (I'm talking specifically to S&W and Ruger from a personal standpoint).
2. Ugly
A. Anyone who does not know what a Glock looks like.... well.....? Pretty sure that you know what they look like going in.
3. The Glock culture
A. Pretty sure all the gun companies have their zealots. The Ruger forum I skulk around on from time to time is like that. Don't compare anything to Glock. It's like firing up the trailer park. A Smith site I peruse only gets riled when it is a M&P vs. Glock (for the most part).
4. Plastic
A. And.... Not enough metal guns I agree. Also not enough DA/SA (CZ, you are my sunshine)
5. No thumb safety
A. This is a lack of research issue, but I can see this. Especially if you have kids or stupid people in the household.
6. They don't make a micro compact.
A. I'm on the post as to weather the 43x counts. The 42 and 43 fit though. I mean I'm pretty lazy and I'll carry my 43x. So it can't be that big.

"Friends don't let friends buy Ford/Chevy/Dodge/Glock/HiPoint/H&K/S&W etc., etc." Each brand has its pros and cons. It comes down to what you like/prefer, are most comfortable with and shoot well. Also what you are most comfortable stripping and cleaning, doing minor repairs to, modifications, etc. Glocks are simple and reliable. The best firearm out there is one that you handle and shoot well, and are confident in your ability to defend yourself and your loved ones with. It is the one you can say, without a shadow of a doubt, you can rely on with your life. And that is different for every individual. I respect all the brands out there, and peoples choices of owning them. Even the revolver curmudgeons
To each their own.

NOPE! Travel back in time to 75-80, go to a ISPC match (might have been called combat pistol then I don't remember when they changed the name) and start putting down or even questioning a 1911. Col. Coppers acolytes/1911 users make Glock fan boys look like a bunch of giggling schoolgirls.

The only reason I don't own any Glocks is the grip angle. They check all the other boxes for me. Though I would change the triggers.

Really ?I think that depends on who you let into the club and given some of the reprobates in this one - particularly the old rock musicians, who you know have been around the block many times - it is definitely a source of concern.

It's like you know me. Seriously. It's a pretty common theme in my life that people go out of their way to avoid confrontation with me. I cussed out and threatened my boss last week when he did some dumb shite. Less than 5 minutes later he was at my truck apologizing to me.When is Bob not pissed at the world ??
