I used to hate Glocks - it was basically an esthetic issue. Then I took a 4 day defensive pistol course with a brand new Glock 23. Right out of the box this weapon performed without a single malfunction through 4 days of hard use. In that time it was racked hard, thrown in the dirt and magazines were tossed on the ground when practicing emergency reloads. Every time it shot without a problem. As much as I love my other guns (I own HK, S&W, Browning, etc...) I am a firm believer in the simplicity and reliability of Gaston Glock's design.
Sure, the trigger could be better but it isn't awful. It's simple to use and has never failed to go "bang."
Esthetics don't amount to anything if it doesn't go "bang" every time...
