The Glock 17 is the pistol John Moses Browning would have designed, had he access to modern materials and technology.

The Glock is, essentially, a heavily modified Browning design. It is a sort of modernized Browning Hi-Power with an updated fire control system.

I agree the Glock is improvement of the 1911 and Hi-power.

Having owned and shot many examples of all three.

Not that I would fell under gunned with any of them in my hand.

But if it came down to having only one I would have to take the Glock.
