I have never heard of one person having problems with it.
I have. Just Google "Glock .40S&W kaboom". But that's not to say that other weapons haven't had their problems too.
Every glock I shot I have kept 6 inch groupings at 25 yards with cheap ammo. So please don't go on about accuracy. It is not match gun by any means but self defense handguns are designed to be used with in 7 yards.
Glocks are good for this reason, however some people desire more. Like Ashley said, Glocks are similar to AK-47s, they're highly affective, but there is more accurate out there. (and I know you're not disputing that)
I have Glock myself and have 3,000 rounds through it. Not once, not once have I had a problem with it. I cant say that about any of my other more expensive handguns that I love.
Josh, are you telling me you had a problem with your Les Baer?! I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if my Colt had a problem, much less a Les Baer custom!
Many companies have copied the glock for a reason.
This is true. I believe Gaston Glock was the originator of the polymer framed handgun. Now, nearly every manufacturer has a polymer framed weapon.

And so has the glock. You can't take away what the glock has proved. You can argue about trigger pull and all that bullshit, but when it comes down to it, millions can fire them very accurately and quick just like a 1911. Dont get me wrong, I love my Les Baer 1911 but the glock works.
The trigger works right?
You're exactly right. Their value, durability and reliability has earned them a good reputation. I'm not trying to bash on Glocks--they're a great weapon for many people. All I'm saying is that there are other guns better at Glocks own game (maybe not value though). I think I'd like Glocks A LOT more if my hand actually fit their grips. When I pick up a weapon, I want my hand to fit the gun, not the gun to fit my hand.
gotta love it!.......I don't mean to interrupt but my gun is still for sale!
Just think, at least your thread is staying at the top of the forum!
But you're right...
