[QUOTE="rlongnt, post: 1356035, member: 665"] As hard as I tried to hate Glock, the simple fact is that they work very well. I used every excuse from just plain arrogant to stupid trying to hate them. I won’t badmouth anyone’s baby but I have seen very high end firearms with various issues but I will name one, it all came to a head when my $2,500 Unertl .45 kept having ejection issues. The one thing kept coming to my mind was that not even a $500 Glock would have had this issue. It was an external extractor and it just needed a stronger spring. I know it is stupid superstition but as far as I am concerned, other than issues caused by bad magazines, faulty or deformed ammunition any failure to function 100% puts the firearm in the same category as a low down dirty cheating spouse. I divorce it instantly. Most Glocks, HKs, Sigs, SAs, etc. etc. etc. all work great. One more thing, magazine articles are designed to make you think that what you have is no longer good enough. They make money by selling advertisements and writing articles designed to make you think you need to buy whatever the hell their advertisers want you to buy. That is why the latest issue of Guns and Ammo isn’t going to have an article named HK USP .45 still the most awesome gun ever built. What should you carry? Whatever the heck you want. To hell with what I or anyone else thinks. [/QUOTE]
