um, a 92 is bulkier than a glock 17? thats kinda subjective, so I'll let it slide.
the glock 17 does undercut about 10 ounces tho, I'll give you that.
I dunno where you get the locking blocks crack around 10k rounds, mebbe if you're not too bright and you feed it nato SMG rounds, but the manual states pretty clearly not to do that, you might not have had a choice tho.
I've gotten mine pretty dirty, no problems.

I'm sure it's a great gun back here in the 'States, but being forced to carry one has ruined them for me.

If it works in the states... we've got rainforest, mountains, plains, swamps, all sorts of shit here.

I don't mean to piss in anyones cornflakes, but I would put a Glock up against any 1911, hell, any other pistol in the world for reliability.

I'll put a .40 caliber glock up against any domestic .40 caliber pistol. 'nuff said there.

Indeed it is, especially when people who use glocks realize the mistake they've made and drop them then they get hopped on. That REALLY annoys me, so I try to stay out of threads where its obvious my opinion on glocks is not at all helpful.
p.s. ya know, everytime this glock crap comes up, I recall myself years ago contemplating my first serious handgun purchase, there was a customer there who was emphatic about how 1911's simply did not work and if you wanted to shoot IDPA you had to have a glock.
I bought the 1911 and never looked back, I did run into that man later tho at an IDPA match.
he did'nt shoot so well.
glock ownership has turned into this stupid club. It's ridiculous. I can see why you would think that Glocks are more reliable than 1911's. BUt the firearms you are comparing it to are not 1911's, not as JMB intended. The firearm you are comparing it to is not a real 1911.
post p.s. HK's have been tested firing through a barrel that is obstructed by another bullet. I would LOVE to see that done with a glock (just dont YOU do it, it'll let loose in your face). That test caused the USP's groups to open up a half inch, your glock wouldn't survive it.
