Glocks are way more likely to fail under such circumstances. Fact.

One need not mourn a lack of credibility amongst Glock owners.

That's the reality of being the lowest bid acceptable provider there, not a testament to quality itself. Something else famous and not very worthy of being called great in its own right has a motto of "Billions Served." No one ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public.

The "realm of reality?" Is that the one where there isn't an entire cottage industry of grip burners, sanders, stipplers, grinders, reducers, do it yourselfers, and at least two major alternative frame efforts to date--all aimed at mitigating Glock's craptastic grip? Is that the reality where...

The one thing I have learned about Glocks over the past seven years here is that there will always be excuses made for their non-performance.

Spending the money on a Glock would be rather like putting the notes in a crosscut paper shredder.

I don't need practice. The issue is real. What if one is blood slicked, or wounded in the arm? Glock singlehandedly introduced the "musta limp wristed" it excuse to the shooting public and that it is most susceptible is well documented on video. Blaming the shooter for its pistol design...

Gravity doesn't fail nearly as much as Glocks do.

No, it has a steel replacement. It also has no ready need for a Yeagerite range toy excuse blaming S&B ammo or limp wristing for a Glock-like 200 RBF average either. Thanks for asking though.

You should be careful, the recoil spring guide rod is liable to melt right out of that range toy.

Anything but a Glock, which are the most overrated pistols to ever be sold in the United States. A so-called "combat pistol" that has to be held perfectly to fire more than once without jamming is a range toy in actuality.

Glocks are vastly overrated is your problem in a nutshell. Glock troubleshooting 101: A. Blame the shooter. B. Blame the shooter. C. Blame the shooter. D. Blame the ammo. E. Blame the magazine spring. F. Blame the recoil spring. G. Blame the competition for being no better. H. Blame...

It's just trading off of the 1911 mystique since the P220 doesn't really have any.

Thanks, but no. They're heirlooms.:D

They're not crappy--just delicate.:D

While I have a Colt DS and a S&W Bodyguard I inherited from my grandfather, I actually like the modular Ruger GP-100 better than any of them. I can just go shoot the hell out of it without worrying about breaking it and I can work on the iron myself without any arcane knowledge from a dead...

Nope. My favorite polymer is Italian. I do prefer my wife's M&P to any Glock I have fired.

I have never seen one for private sale locally so that I could actually handle it. For my purposes, the only point in buying a used pistol is to have it "off paper."

No, that wasn't what I was saying, or even what I said. What I was funning about was that the OP had to exclude the 1911 from this discussion because it's the most capable model, so essentially the OP was asking "Who comes in at a distant second?" If he hadn't excluded the 1911, it would...
