[QUOTE="JD8, post: 2587488, member: 24"] I guess you should tell Glock that they didn't need to progressively "upgrade" their guns if there have been no problems? About the numbers, let's think outside the box here. To believe that Glocks are "used more than any other gun, plain and simple" doesn't really reflect sales numbers. 2011 U.S. Handgun Production numbers per the ATF. Ruger ~600K Semis ~190K Revolvers S&W ~450K Semis ~250k Revolvers Sig Sauer ~ 350K Kimber ~100K Taurus ~115K Kel-tec ~90K Glock produced ~35K here... now on the flip side we know that Glock imports probably ten times that amount. There are no specific numbers that I've found, but again... per the ATF... Imports in 2010 Brazil ~600K Austria ~450K Germany ~350K Croatia ~200K In 2011 those numbers shot up to 800K, 500k, and 300K respectively on the first three listed. So it's probably fair to assume that Glock has a majority of those imports from Austria.... but as you can see.... they aren't the big boys on the block as some would believe. One must realize that magazine restricted states actually account for a significant portion of handgun sales, which kind of negates some of the advantages of a glock vs a 1911. [/QUOTE]
