I'm a Baretta owner myself. I have a friend who owns several Glock's though and I know they are very reliable and all that. I've just never needed a gun that could shoot 100 feet deep in the ocean while full of sand and mud after being frozen in a freezer that was run over by a steamroller. I guess it'd be neat to know you could though

yes the glock will withstand very harse conditions and still be very realiable that is my point of view on the subject and if your life should depend on it for whatever reason it is a little more reassuring to know that of course everyone has their favorite firearms i like glocks they aint pretty but they work yall take care now would like to hear more comments yall

I like there PHD safety, the one on the trigger, the push here dummy one. Actually I hate them. I have never shot one that I liked, I prefer a big heavy handgun, I have no reason to hide it.

Got a model 22 here. All the aforementioned good points are true, reliable, ease of cleaning, etc. Now when I'm done with the 21 rounds that I have imediately available in my Glock and on the holster, and I still need to hit something, I grab my 6 inch Python!

Glocks are interesting, from a gunsmithing point of view. For that reason Sheoul would have frozen over before I would bother buying one. Reliability is not the only criteria I use for choosing a weapon. - More accidental shootings occur in Police departments that issue Glocks, than in those that issue Sig Sauer, or Beretta. Apparently they can go off, when putting them in the holster. That to me is good reason for leaving the weapon alone.

Combat Tupperware is not my cup of tea, I prefer heavy metal. Almost 100 years of service for the 1911 must mean something about reliability etc. Heck the military is even starting to order or rebuild 1911's(for the umpteenth time) because some special services don't care for the 9mm. Same with many PDs.
If my old heavy Randal fails, I can always throw it, plastic don't hurt but a chunk of Stainless will ;^).
Don't have enough experience with Glocks, but I have shot thousands of rounds of 9mm and 45. I will say, "doesn't matter how many rounds in the magazine, if you can hit the first time with the one in the chamber". I hit way way better with my 45. If you gotta have lots of ammo there are 45s with double column magazines. Just seems to be something about 9s and accuracy, at least in my experience.
Just personal taste.

So far a 19,27,30 and a slew of full metal carry guns also. I carried a Springfield 1911A1 under a loose t-shirt for probably 8 years untill I spread out and tried some of the others. the one thing I do like about the Glocks is the reliability and total corrosion resistance. Absolutely no special care required. 5 droplets of oil and feed it good ammo. I also own Kel-tecs in .32 and 9mm. The only gun I had any problems with was a new Colt 1991A1 compact in .45. Failure to feed, extract, fire with great many commercial brands of ammo. I kept it 6 months and Asta-Lavista baby, it was outta here.

some of you might remember my post a few months back about my glock jamming. " stove piping" where the empty shell catches in the exit in the slide. so automatically everyone says " you are limp wristing it" NO.. my H&K 45 has never jammed and im a fairly big guy so limp wristing isnt the problem.
well, i still havent gotten around to buying a new recoil spring for it, i havent even shot the gun since last fall so i dont know what the problem is yet.
but i do love how easy it is to clean, i think it fits my hands pretty well, i just wish i knew why it keeps jamming.

I have a Ruger KP95 9mm. I like it alot, except its a little bulky. I'm a small guy and I find it hard to conceal, but it has yet to fail to fire when the triggers pulled!! I wear it in the outdoors, so like the stainless/plastic or whatever its made out of! I think it has good accuracy up to about 30 yds. or so. I work in the woods and carry it for 4 legged protection.

My current sidearm is a SW99 .40cal and I'm pretty pleased with it. Easy to conceal (I'm 5'7"/ 165-170lbs), exceptionally accurate, rides better than my 1911 and very reliable. I've put a few thousand rounds through it, hasn't failed for any reason (even with some of the bargain ammo). 
However, if I'm just out in the woods or around the farm, I'll take my old hand-me-down .357 King Cobra any day.
