The "Perfection" mantra from the company, the smirkiness of Gaston, the drab look of the pistol and the polymer frame kept me more than arms length from the Glock for way too many years.
But they were hard to ignore as they were widely adopted by law enforcement, reports of durability and ease of use pored in, and more and more began showing up at the range. Also, I was getting interested in the 40S&W caliber. Finally firing the Glock and the caliber convinced me to jump on a sale G22 LE trade-in, a Gen 2. Next came a new Gen 4 G23, then a used Gen 3 G27. All work well and are excellent for their intended purpose.
It's kinda like lugging around a heavy old drill for years then finally springing for a new drill with a lightweight 19.2V lithium-ion battery. Right away you appreciate the power and durability in a lightweight package. Is it perfect, is it the best you can get? Maybe not, but it sure works well! And if it bounces off your truck or gets stolen ... odds are you'll get another.
