I read that and totally disagree with your logic. If both designs were taken to a patent court you would lose. There is nothing similar about a Glock and a 1911. Lets just start with the number of springs used as the first point! Not even close. The Glock pistol design would impress John Moses...
Browning's design is primitive and crude by today,s standards. You don't drive a 1911 or 1944 Ford do you?
Sorry but, Glock DID revolutionize the gun world and for the better as far as I am concerned!
The fact remains that Glock has sold more guns of his design than anyone else in history! Glock has earned a reputation of repeatable reliability second to non. Great Britain just scrapped all their Browning Hi Powers and rearmed their military with Glock 17 9 mm pistols.
That is a little tough...
Gaston Glock is the world leader in polymer guns that everyone now is emulating. I don't think that was an accident and H&K had their chance and failed at it!
Gaston Glock was a curtain rod manufacturer who already knew that polymer and nickel plated stamped parts have a natural lubricity when rubbed together. For a non gun designer to become the worlds leading and largest gun maker and seller is a monumental quantum leap away from Browning.
Once again totally false. The Browning breech lock is a tongue and groove set up in the slide. Glock uses and an external barrel block insert into a machined cut square opening in the slide. Not even close. I do believe that locked breech was developed by Luger long before Browning as well.
No it does not! Browning used a tilting barrel set on a hinged link with a pin that turns. Glock slides the barrel down a ramp. Not even close. There is nothing in a 1911 that is even close to a Glock unique design. There are no Browning Finger Prints on a Glock, that is a self serving myth only!
One of the major causes of Glock consternation is the total departure from the Browning design. The Glock pistol does not utilize anything from previously designed pistols. It is totally unique from the ground up. Gaston Glock is a genius who formatted a totally new concept of how an auto...
I would never trust anything made by Bersa in the Argentina child sweat shops!
Just my two cents worth. Kel Tec and the S&W VE series are much better made and made in the USA.
I will agree NOT drop safe and very painful to shoot. Messing with the springs creates a really dangerous single action. A lot of info about them here:

It has been said that Gaston Glock has sold over 10 million Glocks. That is an epic achievement for a privately held company. I just wonder of those 10 million how many were sold more than once? IMHO Gaston has made his mark in the gun world history!:D
Glock 19 has a great many of his requirement:
Reliable
15 round capacity
Amby Safety (Safe Action) in the trigger.
Used Price of $400.00
My next choice would be a SIG PRO 2022.
