Where are these Glock "people" you mention who realize "the mistake they've made"? The only thread that comes to mind is one guy who sold his Glock because it was chambered for .45 GAP -
not because it was a Glock.
Sure, there are some Glock "elitists" out there - but there are also 1911 elitists and HK elitists. I like the Glock very much but I don't think it's "perfect" or that I'd favor it over my 1911.
As a matter of fact, the only elitism expressed here in the forum is the "anti-Glock" elitism pervasive in most of your statements.

If anything you
gravitate toward every single thread where a Glock is mentioned so you can take a cheap shot at the pistol (no pun intended).
Why do you keep going back to this Glock vs. 1911 "debate" - that debate doesn't exist. For instance, I like both pistols for different reasons.

Don't assume all glock owners are like this bozo.

If you want to see true "elitism" - it's with the HK crowd. These folks truly think their guns walk on water.
I think HK is overpriced for what you get. They're great guns but they're far from perfect - did I mention they were overpriced?
I own a .45 USP-C and it's the ONLY gun I had that had a major malfunction in the field - a flatspring sheared for no reason causing the gun to fall into a halfcock and requiring me to fire DA only. I researched the issue and it seems to be a common problem with the USP-C. If the pistol is going to break I really don't give a shit how tough the barrel is.
I never had parts actually break in my 1911s, Glocks or CZ.
My other HK is a P7M8 which is my favorite CCW gun. But definitely overpriced. (For the price of a P7M8 I could get a brand new FN PS90 carbine!)
