When the Glocks first came out I said I would never buy one because I wanted a manual safety. Now I would only buy a pistol with the Glock type of safety.
I love my Glocks for their reliability, toughness, functionality and outright awesome firepower. They are a good choice and they have a model for nearly every type of shooter. I have both their big-bore heavies in full sized frames. The Glock 21SF in .45 ACP (13+1 rounds)and the 1911 full sized Model 20 chambered in 10-mm Auto(15+1 rounds. This pistol with Buffalo Bore and +P ammo is outright scary). I call it my Glock Desert Eagle.
