I owned a 17 many years back, first pistol I bought. I had not a single complaint about it. The AK analogy, while not perfect (what analogy is?) is fairly accurate. Glock makes nice pistols. They're not for everyone, but no firearm is. Hey, the liberal media might have us believe that NO firearm is Right for anyone. (Sorry, a dig at the media AND a play on words - I coundn't resist).
I replaced my 17 with a USP in 9mm. While I agree that the plastic triggerleads to unpleasant sponginess, and aluminum replacement fixed that quite nicely and I love the USP's safety/firecontrol. Not to mention the experience touched off my decade long love affair with HK.
I still respect Glocks. Were it not for the fact that I shoot 1911's better than I shoot any other pistol, I'd have bought a 30, because they are a blast to shoot.
Speaking of Sigs (see thread starter) and 1911s, I think I need a Sig GSR.
