I have had my Glock 17 for about 2 years now. Its by far the best hand gun I've fired. My experience in handguns are a little limited though. Ive shot the Glock 17, 17C, 22, 26, Beretta 92FS, 1911 Single Stack, 1911 Double Stack, a S&W compact .44mag, and the Star. By far the glock is the most reliable.
I have never had a glock misfire. Where Ive at least seen every other one of those weapons misfire, or jam.
It seems that the safety systems on the Glock are not cared for too very much. Thats understandable. Having an external safety is a nice feature on most handguns. But the Glock is, from what Ive read, the only weapon that will not fire when dropped on the muzzle. Because the firing pin is in limbo until you actually squeeze the trigger this is impossible. Ive seen a 1911 dropped on the muzzle and fire. That kinda disturbs me. Not that I plan on dropping my weapons, but its nice to know that the only way its going of is if I pull the trigger.
Just my 2 cents.
