The experts I speak of are the professionals who actually use guns

You mean like soldiers, cops, professional competition shooters, gun-shop owners, gunwriters...? Name one.

rather than private individuals who have to take into account things like cost that lead them to buy a cheap Austrian gun like a Glock for example

You mean like the IDF...the Israeli Defense Force? You know...the lads and lassies who carry Glocks. You've been caught spouting this before, y'know: Wikipedia supports that the 941 is issued to the Israeli Security Forces. However, this is the Israeli equivalent of Scotland Yard or the FBI. The IDF issues and fields the Glock Mdls 17 and 19, which are also the most popular weapons among reservists according to my suppliers at FAB Defense and MAKO Group in Tel-Aviv. And as for private shooters having to take cost into account: you have no idea how much help and sponsorship a truly competitive shooter can get in the US, do you? Suffice it to say that if Todd Jarrett or Rob Leatham was to endorse IMI and use a Jericho in races and demos, they'd be all set. Gun, mods, clothes, mags and ammo: all paid for. Gun companies pay these guys a lot of money to advertise their product and use it in international competition. Ask yourself why, if the Glock/1911/CZ is so inferior, are the pros using it and not the IMI? Especially when any gun company in the industry, IMI included, would happily crunch their own balls in a vise to get an endorsement like that?
As for your wikipedia link: yes, the Uzi may have been the most widely exported handgun from 1960-1980. However, as you've perhaps noticed, it is not 1980. It is now 2010, and the Uzi has largely been left in the market's dust. HK ate their lunch a long time ago.

Would you deny that Israel is the best equipped military force in the middle east?

Not for a moment.

No doubt this is because they have access to IMI weapons

No, this is because they have access to American money, weapons, and technology at cut-rate prices or for free.
I'm calling Troll here unless you can produce some actual sources. Names, links, articles, something to back up what you say. Produce an expert: lots of people in Tilted Weaponry read the international tactical/law-enforcement press, you'd be surprised who's names we'd recognize.
