I own 2 of them... and that's just a start. I would like to own one of each model if I could afford it. But in reality I just want one more...then one more...then one more...
Are Glocks really all that?

Easy answer.
Yessir, they are, and more.

I happen to love my Glocks. I own the 21SF and 26 and they have the
features that are important to any firearm: dependability, accuracy and
durability. Cleaning and repair work (if needed) are easy tasks as well.
The grips are thick and take a little getting used to and the asthetics
are not eye pleasing but Glocks do what they are designed to do:
go bang when you pull the trigger. I will probably get the 23 soon and
complete my Glock collection for now.

You might not know this, but there are many very intelligent folks all around the world who have no mastery of English whatsoever.
Judging a person's intelligence by their use of the English language alone is really stupid.
As for the question at hand...
Yes, Glocks are great pistols.

Attempting to play the "genius" in one's first language whilst showing no skill in the mother tongue undermines said claim to a lofty intellect. It is not at all difficult to avoid making the plural the possessive as in the example "They'd all be using Ruger's. . . ." American English has been fairly standardized in the use of plurals, possessives and contractions for over a century now. It's past time to get with the program.
It's a child's mistake to confuse the plural, the possessive, and the contraction, and telling of a lack of attention to detail in one's life when one cannot be bothered to correct his ongoing errors in that regard.
Though on the internet, he will have every illiterate and semi-literate "dude" on the board standing ready to defend inexcusable mental laziness.

Perhaps you would feel better on a English grammar forum instead of a firearms forum.
It's an unwritten rule on internet forums that attacking a person's grammar skills instead of debating their argument is in poor taste at best.
How well do you know the person with whom you are "talking" too?
Do you know for certain that English is his mother tongue?
Do you know what, if any, disabilities they might have?
Despite grammatical errors, did you not understand his argument?
Bottom line:
Nobody likes a self appointed "grammar cop" on any internet forum.

After just a couple of hundred rounds in the past few days through the only 2 Glocks I've ever owned, (the G23 and G26)....I'm beginning to think they are "all that." May be a little too early to tell yet. I'll know more about them after I get the G 19 in the next month or two.

Since I am not out to be liked by the likes I have been tangling with in this thread, I couldn't care less.
Besides, whatever learning disabilities my detractor may have has become rather obvious to all.
The "unwritten rule" about spelling, grammar, and punctuation is almost invariably invoked by those who haven't the first clue as to employing any of the above.
If Denali wants to be the "smart guy" he thinks himself, he should make a more convincing act.
As for myself, I should have better expected total knuckleheads being present in a Glock thread. They're the lion's share of that ownership group.

This statement alone is overwhelming proof that you don't know what you're talking about.

Yeah, right, I forgot the party line.
Random Internet Glock Owners are the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human beings I've ever known in my life.
You may now have the last word, as is your wont.

Thanks, pal, you're a prince!
I doubt that any of us really know any "random internet Glock owners".....otherwise they wouldn't be random.
But I would dare say that the majority (or "lion's share") of Glock owners (or any specific make of gun) are not "knuckleheads" as you claim.
I would guess that the majority of Glock owners are just average guys who want a dependable, accurate, and affordable pistol.

I have the opposite viewpoint. I much prefer a SIG with DA/SA trigger for self defense. For playing games such as IDPA, IPSC or USPSA, a consistent trigger may offer a slight advantage, but frankly, that's down to the user and practice. For a high stress, defensive situation which you can't really practice for, the chances of a ND are far lower with a DA (10lb) trigger pull, particularly when as you say, "I lose my fine motor skills". For me, it's all about that first shot. Once you've made the conscious decision to pull the trigger, then everything changes, as does the trigger in a DA/SA SIG. That's my preference and one that I'm prepared to live with, but I certainly don't expect everyone to agree with this.
As for the argument "Are Glocks really all that?" ... of course not. They're just a tool that has proven to work well for many people. Why so many here get all bent out of shape over this is beyond me. So what if you love Glocks, so what if you don't. Grow up!!

The main problem with Glocks is that people get all emotional about them. Some, for them; others, against them.
If you like them, buy. If you don't like them, don't buy. Either way, the emotional thing is just way too childish.
The same holds true for Ruger, Colt, S&W, Sig, Beretta and a host of others.
Enough Low Road for one day. THR is not a day-care center, although sometimes it resembles one.
